Mueller, She Wrote @muellershewrote.com · 1d

Pam Bondi admits she spoke to Apple to "get the ICEBlock app taken down." Sounds an awful lot like coercion to suppress disfavored speech to me. A clear violation of the 1st Amendment.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 2d

Bondi claims that the ICEBlock app was "criminal in that people were posting where ICE officers lived"

IN HONOR OF FRIENDSHIP MONTH:

djt: "We have certain things in common, Jeffrey."

Epstein: "Yes we do, come to think of it."

djt: "A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday- and may every day be another wonderful secret."

And by "wonderful secret", he means raping children.

When you teach more, they learn more! Should be obvious, but for some reason they just want us to test more. That needs to change.

Badass Teachers Association @badassteachersbats.bsky.social · 2d

Yes! To change our world for the better we need creative minds! Also caring hearts.

🚨 Video of Trump golfing at his Virginia golf club today. This is what he was doing instead of working to keep the government open.

Kids need recess. They need play time. They need thinking time. Come to think of it, we all do.

Nobody cares about the victims in the Dallas ICE shooting apparently. The first I've heard about one of them was on CNN today. He's fighting for his life in the hospital --- he was brought to the US when he was 13. He's 33 now. No criminal record.

I just don't know what to say anymore.

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens.

Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.
