I took this pic in July of 2020 in #PortlandOR during the protests for Black Lives. #fotus had sent in the feds. We weren't having it. I thought it was important to share today. It hasn't aged one bit. Happy #martinlutherkingday2025 ✌️ #resist #keepupthefight

You’ve Heard About Who ICE Is Recruiting. The Truth Is Far Worse. I’m the Proof.
What happens when you do minimal screening before hiring agents, arming them, and sending them into the streets? We're all finding out.

Was that chip deal or this tariff break a credible decision made in the national interest, or a finagle made in Donald Trump’s self-interest? Was it both? Who knows
In Washington, everything appears to be for sale
And the government has given up on prosecuting corruption

There will be a time when DOGE is synonymous with a useless, expensive, and disastrous fiasco.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.
It no longer exists as a “centralized entity”, according to the Office of Personnel Management.

King Charles III shows us—but, really, congressional Republicans—what actual accountability looks like when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein.

Jesus was clear: to love & follow Him meant to love your neighbor as yourself. When asked to clarify, His example wasn't a righteous Jew, but of a member of a "hated" sect who showed love for a stranger in trouble. That invalidates all the hatred of foreigners & selfishness in the world.

The Supreme Court Case declaring that Nixon could not impound appropriated funds was literally an infrastructure case involving New York City.
NEW: White House announces it's going to pause, and potentially cancel, $11 billion in infrastructure funding (via the Army Corps of Engineers), specifically citing cities, like New York, represented or led by Democrats. More to come.

By my count: Of the 15 Departments of the US Government, 13 launched new BlueSky accounts tonight (all but Justice and HUD), and all 13 have posted explicitly partisan political posts blaming Democrats and/or Chuck Schumer for the government shutdown.

This is, by the way, a huge sign that Bluesky has the juice. And would be a great time for the team to make sure they’re focused on rock-solid moderation and enabling developers to have a good base for building. Journalists always use these accounts to justify still being on X/Twitter.
Yes, it does look like the government accounts joining Bluesky are real, including Homeland Security and the White House. They're tweeting about it on X.

US Government accounts have arrived on Bluesky.
Block on sight.
Protect your digital space.
Be aware that the DHS account in particular is known to quote dunk on regular people to encourage their followers to harass them.
The detach quote function will come in very handy here…
