Merry Christmas, good folks of Blue Sky.

May your day be festive, full of warmth, love and good tidings.

Even in the darkest days there are reasons to be hopeful. To be grateful.

I am grateful for you. 🙏🏼

How do you just “uncover” over a million Epstein documents out of nowhere like they were misplaced in a desk drawer? You don’t, and when accountability gets slow-walked like this, it usually means the same powerful people involved have enough power to force the DOJ to delay it.

The DOJ is lying when it says they *just now* received Epstein files from the Southern District of New York.

Call me old fashioned, but I don’t think a cabinet member that has stood by whilst a genocide has been taking place doesn’t get to opine on morality.

Labour want to feel better about their polling by going after the greens rather than governing well.
While they don't have the guts to go after Reform.

The dumbest of politicking.

‘Twas the night before fascism, and from coast to coast,
Not a corporate outlet was stirring, not even the Post;
The bribes had been sent to the library with care,
In hopes of placating the FCC chair.

In a 6-3 decision, the majority wrote, “At this preliminary stage, the government has failed to identify a source of authority that would allow the military to execute the laws in Illinois.” Illinois Governor JB Pritzker hailed the ruling as “a big win for Illinois and American democracy.”

Louisiana’s Republican Governor Jeff Landry announced that 350 National Guard troops will arrive in New Orleans before New Year’s Eve and will stay through February. The troops are expected to join Border Patrol agents who have been cracking down on immigrants in New Orleans.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.

Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.

Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.

But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

Remember this.

(WSJ) Additional files, about one million more, have been found. They will need to review and then release. Given the "made-up" answers by Trump staff over the past weeks, it is clear that they have answers that DO NOT correlate with the truth.

ICE’s so-called Operation Midway Blitz has led to the arrest of more than 4,000 people in the Chicago area; data shows that only 15% had criminal offenses, which are mostly comprised of minor traffic offenses, misdemeanors or nonviolent felonies.

Jillian Kaehler, a spokesperson for Pritzker, said, “The Trump administration’s masked agents are not targeting the 'worst of the worst' — they are harassing and detaining law-abiding U.S. citizens and Black and brown people.”

Incriminating behavior in plain sight.

“There is only one woman (Ghislaine Maxwell) in the Epstein files who Donald Trump wishes well… the woman who sexually abused children herself… who trafficked children with and for Jeffrey Epstein” — Lawrence O’Donnell

Trump’s never wished the survivors well.

🧵 Ron is 100% correct about this. If people in one of the reddest counties in Michigan were opposed and stopped it, you know that others will not be pleased. The opposition was across party lines.
