Yesterday, the Department of Defense posted a video from Pete Hegseth - I'm surprised the comments are still on. There are mostly shill comments in support, and (of course) some great opposing comments as well. Make one yourself if you want.

There’s a special place in heaven for amazing teachers ❤️❤️❤️ 🔊🔊 Sound up! 🎥 in|cool.missp

Idiocracy was a documentary

There is no such thing as a humane mass deportation. There will be concentration camps on military bases, separations, assaults, sexual assaults, child molestation, human trafficking & deaths that this administration, Border Patrol, ICE & CBP will attempt to hide.

This is really something

At first, I thought there was news I hadn't heard about in deporting Elon - but it was a ruling for how SpaceX is treating (non-Elon) immigrants, of course:

I Stand With Ukraine 🇺🇦

Appearing today in The Week:

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

Man up, get off the phone, and make meaningful connections.

“An Iranian Christian woman who is one of nearly 100 people held in a detention camp in Panama after being deported by the Trump administration described the site as looking ‘like a zoo’ on Weds, with "fenced cages" & little sustenance provided by authorities.” www.commondreams.org/news/panama-...

Ruhle: The left-leaning podcast MeidasTouch has just done the unthinkable—dethroned Joe Rogan to become the country’s most popular podcast…

Duckworth: "He essentially just surrendered to Putin."

Poll choices: A.) Given/sold to Elon as repayment B.) Broken into pieces to sell as souvenirs C.) It comes back gold-plated

How much trolling will this cause?...

How lucky are we that Bluesky exists during this moment

Remember that posting on social media doesn't actually accomplish much of anything, although sharing info can educate each other. We're preaching to the choir here. The real question is, "What are you going to do in the 'real world'? Anger is no better than overwhelm if it diverts us from action.

How much I wish we were like a "Banana Republic" now...

It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank. I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history. Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.

@rbreich.bsky.social - Is it a viable tactic of saying that the DOGE "recovered" funding should be sent back to Congress for reallocation?
