Trump launched the TrumpRX website today.

It has a photo of Trump and an AI-generated family with too many fingers and mangled toes.

TrumpRx Is a Narcissistic, AI-Generated Nightmare

AI art really has become the aesthetic of grifters and fascists.

The Supreme Court of the United States is not a legitimate body.

Leah Litman @leahlitman.bsky.social · 6h

More judges speak to the press (the NYT) about what a disaster the Supreme Court (specifically the shadow docket) has been - “incredibly demoralizing & troubling”; a “judicial crisis”; a “slap in the face to district courts.” www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/u...

My first thought was “wow I hope this guy didn’t give out his name because he could absolutely be charged” and yup, he is correct to stay anonymous.

This man’s account is shocking. His neighbors’ situation is shocking. The entire Chicago raid is shocking.

On the other side was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for his help.
"I wasn't planning on letting her stay, but I didn't know what the hell was going on," the man said of his Venezuelan migrant neighbors. But he quickly relented. The little girl was inconsolable and hid under his bed.
"I didn't want them to take her," said the man, who didn't want to be named because he fears he'll be targeted by federal authorities for his actions.
"I gave her my bedroom, and I just told her,
'Just stay there. Don't open, don't, shh, just stay quiet," he recalled telling the mom and daughter as he choked back tears.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

I am saw someone say “if we nominate transphobic Gavin Newsom, then we deserve to fail” and tbh, we do not deserve to fail, so let’s not nominate that creep.

I work in this field. And yes, this is nothing new. The freak out over this is driving me insane. There are foreign air force members/equipment all over in USAF bases.

We sell, train, and sustain aircraft and weapons to many different countries.

Andy Craig @andycraig.bsky.social · 1d

This is Hegseth trying to make it sound like a bigger deal than it is. We have friendly foreign air forces in the US for training exercises and the like all the time, especially ones that use US equipment. That's what this is. It's not like an operational deployment or giving them a whole airbase.

highly scatological @raisingonebrow.bsky.social · 1d

I appreciate your insight. Do you think though that the obvious quid pro quo with the free airplane Trump wants to keep for himself makes this a bit more convoluted?

Cool that we're selling US soil to the Qatari Air Force
