Big fan of GMacht's hiatus beard, the sister wives and the dude with the middle name Johannes, FWIW. Used to count shits. When I'm not being an insufferable fangirl, I'm...an insufferable person with BIG opinions and analysis. Basically just insufferable.

"They didn't realize they were tackling a Senator for asking questions, they thought they were tackling a journalist for asking questions" oh, ok then

The thing about this administration’s obvious and transparent lies about ridiculous things - like claiming they had no way of knowing that was a Senator - is that that’s part of power. They know we know they know they’re lying and that they can keep doing it anyway.

Remember when we were like "there's too much at stake. Don't sit this one out," and a lot of folks who thought they were THE REVOLUTION™ or MORE MORAL™ started hollering about a "blue MAGA" and/or "it's already fascist"? Reminder that fuck them forever.

In the past week, a union leader has been arrested, a U.S. Rep charged with a crime, a U.S. Senator violently handcuffed, and reporters shot with rubber bullets and detained. There is no ambiguity. This is a regime operating as an authoritarian. Americans who believe in liberty must oppose it.

Taking away a child's ability to access educational programming on TV! YAY!!

My iPad thinks it's 30 minutes later than it actually is.

...which she warned us would happen.

Turns out FedEx being dipshits and providing photo proof they delivered the cat's replacement meds to the front door on a hot day, instead of delivering them to a locker where they lied and said they delivered them, was a good thing. It's about to storm like a motherfucker, but I'm already home.

Sen. Cory Booker: When you see a democratic nation having their executive begin to arrest mayors, begin to arrest judges, begin to arrest a United States senator who was simply asking for answers to their questions [...] this is something that we should not tolerate.

🚨 Secretary Noem basically said that her agency is now dedicated to forcible regime change…in American cities and states. There 👏🏽 is 👏🏽 a 👏🏽 name 👏🏽 for 👏🏽 this

Interesting when outlets do and don't use the term "allegedly." Really, really fucking interesting.

Statement from Sen. Alex Padilla's office:

Sen. Alex Padilla, who was just forcibly removed from a DHS press conference, is the ranking member of Judiciary’s subcommittee on immigration, citizenship, and border safety, which has “oversight of federal agencies with citizenship, asylum, refugee, and immigration enforcement responsibilities.”

I truly wish I could say that what happened to Sen Padilla is a breaking point but it's clear this country doesn't have one. Or, if it does, it's gonna be super fucked up when we reach it.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH

Another video of Senator Padilla’s violent arrest at DHS Sec Noem’s press conference in LA. You can see him thrown to the ground by FBI agents and handcuffed. (video shared by Padilla’s staff with Elex Michaelson of Fox LA and posted on X)

“This pattern—police initiating violence, protesters responding minimally, police escalating further—isn’t accidental. It’s that fascist playbook all over again: manufacture the violence to justify the violence you initiated. We should all be calling it out for what it is.”

Hillary warned us. Kamala warned us. Will you believe your own eyes?

“Actually yesterday was Opposite Day, those boos were laudatory.” -White House Press Office.

holy shit -- GOP Rep. Mike Turner tries to "help out" Hegseth by getting him to confirm that the Pentagon does not in fact have plans to take Greenland by force, but Hegseth instead more or less testifies that yep, they have devised plans for that

Several service members told advocacy groups they felt like pawns in a political game and assignment was unnecessary www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I'm just saying, perhaps don't send out a pitch about an early bird discount THREE DAYS before it expires, meaning there's no way I can get it to the people I "serve." Also: There is a difference between a peek and a peak. IDKWTF a "sneak peak" would even be.

Today, we’re back in the streets of Be’er Sheva, standing shoulder to shoulder with thousands protesting the Israeli government’s violent policy of home demolitions in Bedouin villages across the Negev/Naqab.

Worth considering that one reason Bluesky doesn't always feel super fun is that current events are relentlessly horrifying and bad

A panel of antivaxxers in charge of vaccine recommendations, approvals, and insurance coverage…to gatekeep vaccines from Americans. The goal has always been to take away all vaccines, and it is disgraceful that so many in the media and in power pretended it could ever be anything but that. For shame

This guy, who pushed for mass sickness & infection instead of vaccination during the COVID pandemic, sent out this repulsive, dangerous tweet at a time when Dr Fauci was getting death threats. Dr Kulldorff was appointed by RFK Jr, the world’s most extreme anti-vaxx activist, to ACIP. Repulsive tweet

Jay Bhattacharya, who pushed for mass infection & sickness during Covid, canceled a $253 million renewal to Duke’s Center for HIV/AIDS Vaccine Immunology (CHAVI), led by Bart Haynes, even though they were making tremendous progress. Jay B is taking American scientific & health research backwards.

We all cheered.

Hamas continues to terrorize the Palestinian people, and the latest attack on GHF workers is another example of the grave threat that Hamas poses to the people of Gaza and their complete disregard for Palestinian lives.

The people who most need the message of “hey. You need to actively engage to get your precious engagement” are too busy basking in the glow of their false fame in the nazi bar. What an embarrassment they all turned out to be. Every. Last. One.

While Trump deliberately escalates tensions in vulnerable communities, don't forget: He's also directing the Republican Congress to pass a budget that would abandon the very people who most need support. www.cnbc.com/2025/06/06/h...

Today, we remember the 49 lives lost at Pulse Nightclub in Orlando nine years ago. We must all work together to end the gun violence epidemic and create a future free from hate and violence against our LGBTQI+ communities.

*shows up to party* *lingers in corner* *looks dour, refuses to make eye contact with anyone* This party is lame, no one will talk to me

See, this is what I mean when I say their hatred is greater than their greed. Not everything is about money. Immigrants make them money. They don’t care. Their hate is more important to them.

It bears repeating that the Supreme Court granting 47 immunity is why we are where we are right now. They are complicit in EVERYTHING happening. Including what's happening in LA with INNOCENT people (Including CHILDREN) being snatched from workplaces, schools, and their homes.

I just wanna say something really plainly that I haven’t seen spelled out like this There is no such thing as legal immigration anymore. Because they are taking people at their citizenship hearings they are taking people who are doing everything by the book. 1/2

On gawd this.

Hm. Nope. Not wasting brain cells.

Pro-tip for anyone who writes the things! "I can't get started" is an excuse to eat some Ben & Jerry's. Even if it doesn't help, you still got to have some Ben & Jerry's.

On Twitter I see images of LA on fire and bootlickers and their bots calling for state violence. On Bluesky I see people in LA posting images of their pets and brunches. The pick your own adventure era of information is one factor among many contributing to our democratic backsliding.

This is illegal. This is illegal. Did I mention this is illegal?

Everything is bad.
