What’s the odds he’ll get pardoned? No MAGA left behind, right?

HAPPENING NOW: Judge Charles Breyer (brother of retired SCOTUS justice Stephen) hears arguments on whether to grant California's emergency motion to limit Trump's deployment of the National Guard in LA. 🧵

Good advice Dont play into Miller's hand

Senior U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer denied CA emergency motion to block Trump & granted request for more time to respond to the governor’s filing. Court hearing is scheduled for Thursday.

Fuck this lapdog

34 count convicted felon and sexual offender pretends to care about ‘law and order’, rather than simply authoritarianism.

Yes. I have heard this from both liberal and conservative people with sources inside the agency. It’s not just the pushback, it’s also that many officers want to believe they’re targeting the “bad guys” and this admin is telling them “screw you, grab families.” Genuinely, morale is way down.

Keep calm & carry on. Resist, peacefully.

Times of stress, danger, and conflict are a great time to make sure that you know how to identify true information from trusted sources on social media, and how to identify harmful nonsense that you should not believe or spread.

The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle. Don't give them one. Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.

On this D-day anniversary, I remember my Dutch grandfather who fought with the resistance, and my English grandfather who battled his way up southern Europe. Both spent the rest of their lives recovering from their experiences, and would be deeply saddened at the world today.

i'm starting to see some scoldy posts pointing out that we are laughing about a fire on the deck of our sinking ship and i have to be honest once the ship started sinking i decided i would take the laughs where i found them

Well this couldn’t have come at a better time www.bbc.com/news/article...

I want this to be genuine mutual hatred, but why do I feel like it’s all just pantomime?

Since 2020 the UK's 20 biggest energy companies made operating profit of £514,038,259,000. Profiteering pushes millions into poverty. Hikes govt's energy bill, pushes up taxes. It makes steel, shipbuilding, engineering and other energy intensive industries difficult. OFGEM doesn't protect people

Information reduced in complexity to its most basic form, for a man who doesn’t understand nuance and has no retention capacity. This is why he’s so easy to manipulate.

Damn. This is dramatic. I had heard a couple days ago that a Nadler staffer had been arrested but was waiting for confirmation. So now we know what happened; ICE officers barged into the district office trying to arrest other people, handcuffed a staffer who pushed back, then let her go, no arrest.

He’s right - it IS extremely obvious.

All that money, and this is how he lives his life with it. I almost pity him. Almost.

Oh look, a president who can speak in full sentences. Wasn’t that nice.

Republicans can only lose 3 Senate votes on Trump's Big Ugly Bill — and these senators are the most vulnerable in 2026: -Collins (ME) -Tillis (NC) -Sullivan (AK) -Husted (OH) -Moody (FL) -Cornyn (TX) -Ernst (IA) If they represent you, tell them to vote NO.  (202) 224-3121

I’ve dedicated the last 10 years of my life to the protection of people’s privacy rights through the responsible use of AI. @lawrennd.bsky.social’s book, The Atomic Human, is a must-read for anyone who cares about this (and we all should!) Thank you, Prof Lawrence, for your excellent work!

"One of the single worst examples of journalism I've ever seen in a British newspaper." @mrjamesob.bsky.social can't believe what he's reading.

The censorship algorithm on Twitter reduced our audience by roughly 95%, and seriously, who does that to a wildlife biology & advocacy group ? So we moved 😇 over here to BlueSky If you could, please help us regain our following Follow Retweet and Repeat ;-) Together we can change the world.

I’m sure we’ll see a lot of opinions about how it should have been more, or less, or different, but the fact is Starmer went and rebuilt the foundation for a strong EU-UK relationship, and set us on a great collaborative path. I’m thrilled to see this partnership back on track.

Republicans went down rabbit holes to find conspiracies and created a web with red yarn to try to connect Joe Biden to corruption while Trump boards a gifted jet from Qatar to sell his meme coins before he plays golf at his hotel that he charges the taxpayers to guard with Secret Service agents…

“Can’t 86 him? 25th him.” — Founding Fathers, probably.

The Supreme Court just blocked Trump from using the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to fast-track deportations—calling his 24-hour removal orders “devoid” of due process. This isn’t just a pause. It’s a sharp rebuke. And it halts every pending deportation under the act.
