I’m sorry but this is a damning indictment of the American people www.cbsnews.com/news/deporta...

I'm not really too hung up on whether the protests are peaceful or not. If armed masked men came into my neighborhood and started grabbing people off to where neither courts nor lawyers can find them, I might react pretty violently too. It's the kind of thing our Founders fought a revolution over.

1. The wonderful thing when no one else curates the algorithm as to what I see, I can and do curate a far more center list of folks whose views challenge me without crypto, unending spam & wack jobs that parrot pure hate / chaos. 1/

This is the essence.

I will say this, I hold @abcnewsbot.bsky.social & @terrymoranabc.bsky.social to a much higher standard than the propaganda folks who populate 'news' on FOX, Newsmax etc That said, and the same time, Moran is 🎯🎯🎯

WSJ: Business owner John Starr “said he is hunkering down — no hiring, no more capital spending — until he has clarity on tariffs. “How am I supposed to pay this?” said Starr. “That could wipe out profits for a year.” @nicktimiraos.bsky.social www.wsj.com/economy/trum...

Many of our Afghanistan vets are ALIVE because of these people. They risked everything to help the US Military. And THIS is how we treat them?

Every time Trump "fires" someone, the narrative is that they were completely worthless and unqualified from the start. If that's true, why does he keep hiring such people?

While govt moves to dismiss Abrego Garcia case, his own attys seek to pierce atty-client privilege invoking the "crime-fraud exception." "There is ample evidence that defendants have actively strategized to avoid compliance with court orders." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Pete Hesgeth — who wants to rename the Navy ship that honors Medgar Evers, a WWII veteran who landed on Omaha Beach — is using that same beach for a photo op in which he promises we will “never forget” the veterans there. What an unbelievable asshole.

@jvl.bsky.social if a US based government contractor threatens to withhold critical military equipment to the US, I am thinking any administration would be talking nationalizing the company

There IS no “government policy” anymore. M&A approvals. Consumer protection. Tariffs. Tax credits. It’s only a matter now of whether you made one man happy or mad. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

I can’t compete with this

@sarahemclaugh.bsky.social any more details on the book launch in August ( Pro tip- find a bookstore at the Shore for a book signing in August 🏖️😉)

In the same way kids live in 💯 too notch university housing & take a step down when they graduate into the real world, 99% of athletes are going to stay in school for 💰 vs leave earlyfor less in pro sports.

“Ukraine’s drone strikes deep into Russia delivered a humiliating blow to Moscow last weekend. Kyiv’s defenders celebrated the attack. But the extraordinary operation got a different response inside the White House: anger,” @jonlemire.bsky.social writes: https://theatln.tc/4NAyswun

It is so shameful what Hong Kong is doing to its citizens who dare to engage in basic political activism — even ones who are already suffering behind bars.

At least the Robot-Biden White House didn’t have the Treasury Secretary in fisticuffs. 🤡 @washingtonpost.com www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

@emmabaccellieri.bsky.social are you becoming a fan of playoff OT yet Emma?

Good stuff

Pam Bondi is thug scum. The Attorney General making these comments about a defendant in a federal criminal case is lawless. This administration’s unethical hacks continue to demonstrate that they want to be deposits.

A regime where a company's business prospects depend entirely on the favor of the government's chief executive has a name and it begins with S.

Post of the day.

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

I have never loved @matt-levine.bsky.social more than right now.

Anthropic CEO in an op-ed for the NYT today: “Federal law does not compel us or any other A.I. company to be transparent about our models’ capabilities or to take any meaningful steps toward risk reduction. Some companies can simply choose not to.”

I guess we did get those “trade deals” after all. 🤡 @atrupar.com

⚡️As russian drones swarm Ukrainian skies every night, we're launching a fundraiser for 10 Sky Sentinels — AI-controlled turrets that will neutralize air threats and make nights more peaceful. Help protect Ukrainians from russian terror: u24.gov.ua/sky-sentinel...

Why is the American president repeating Russian threats without comment?

This is important

On this June 4th, wishing for a world with more people willing to stand in front of the tanks, and less who are willing to drive them.
