Actually, the likelihood is 100%. In US jurisprudence, accused people are innocent until proven guilty. Hegseth's victims were not proven guilty; they were not even tried. Therefore they were ALL, to the last man, legally innocent. Hegseth ordered the murders of several dozen innocent men.
Rand Paul just posted this letter from the Coast Guard confirming that 1/4 of the boats they stop carry no contraband. The likelihood that Hegseth & Bradley ordered the murder of innocent civilians is very high.

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

“This isn’t the first time that Fine Gael has worked with Israel to defeat BDS initiatives.”
The state of Israel was in ‘constant contact’ with a Fine Gael councillor to help him defeat a county council motion calling for an Irish government boycott of Israeli military equipment.
It directed ‘concentrated and intensive activity’ on social media.

In one of her first public actions as the newly elected Uachtarán na hÉireann (president of Ireland) Catherine Connolly has written a public letter of solidarity on Trans Remembrance Day. It is a very promising start.

While I do welcome some of these needed changes, I truly believe that using the rules to try and 'catch out' people who are "technically playing by the rules but are not in the spirit of the thing" is a futile endeavour. People who find loopholes will just find more loopholes. #eurovision

If you are a right-wing freak judge, there is no funnier way to kick off your jumbled, screeching mess of a dissenting opinion in a voting rights case by immeidately announcing that your dissenting opinion is a jumbled, screeching mess electionlawblog.org/wp-content/u...

Jeffrey Epstein was developing a series, moderated by @lkrauss1.bsky.social, to bring scientists and celebrities together. The first season would include an episode where "Woody Allen talks about the human condition with Linguist Noam Chomsky."

Designed to introduce new 'heartthrob' wrestlers to an area, and especially to appeal to female fans to attend the live shows, promoters would make these vignettes to sell them and well... Judge for yourself.

These kinds of things happened two decades ago under the last Republican president. A lot of people made a lot of short term money. Then it all came crashing down and his successor had to clean up a huge mess. Here we go again.

if you genuinely think Schumer and Democratic leadership opposed this & Republicans coincidentally got exactly the number of votes they needed to avoid a filibuster and none of those votes are from Democratic Senators who are up for reelection in the midterms next year, I have a bridge to sell you.
