Who is this guy? President Trumps liaison to Homeland Security. I hear he cancelled a hotel room on a lower ranking woman colleague so she would have to room with him. She actually did…not to cause trouble. Later she filed a sexual harassment against him. Guess what? She ended up withdrawing it!

All the Antifa people hit the bell icon 🔔 on each other’s profiles so they see each other’s posts as they happen. I’ve never met any Antifa members but I imagine they would do that. We should, too.

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.

She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

What will it take for regular people to understand that if they refuse to stand up against fascism they will not be spared? Fascism is a serial killer with no restrictions on who it targets.

I stand with Professor @mark-bray.bsky.social and his family as they are targeted by TurningPointUSA and other far-right fascist sympathizers. I’m sorry the Bray family feels (justifiably) that they must leave this country for safety. I am an antifascist and proud of it. #ANTIFA

This is not Antifa. This is Robert Morris. You should know his story.

To my Bluesky fam—I started this to promote my friend’s podcast and while waiting for her to get it set up, I’ve met some of the coolest people imaginable.

You guys have helped me stay sane while the world is burning and I’m forever grateful.
