Oh, look what normal countries do when a former president leads a far right coup attempt.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

Their latest batshit insane conspiracy theory is that libruhls are intentionally spreading bird flu to raise egg prices. This timeline is so fucked.

Crockett: "If feels as if y'all have just decided that y'all are gonna castrate your constitutional duty & hand it over to someone who was unelected. It doesn't matter how many cheerleaders he had on the field campaigning for him. That doesn't mean he gets to go in and sit atop any of our agencies"

Rep. LaMonica McIver: "We are at war!"

big time mood

Jasmine is on FIRE 🔥 🔥🔥 "...we are going to be in your face, we are going to be on your asses, and we are going to make sure you understand what democracy looks like... ...and this ain't it!"

We are members of Congress at the Treasury Department. We want to be let in to provide oversight on behalf of our constituents. @jasmineforus.bsky.social @sethmagaziner.bsky.social

If you wanted to decrease the cost of homes, one thing you wouldn’t do is put a flat tariff on your main source of timber.

If he could, Trump would bring back slavery.

Good job, posters. That’s a lot of posts.

The universe speaks in mysterious ways.

Scene of plane crash in Philadelphia. It’s been reported that it’s near the Roosevelt Mall

A second plane has gone down in 3 days. Seems like things were safer when DEI was still in place.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

Over on the other site Elon Musk said that DOGE stopped $50M of condoms from being delivered to Gaza which Trump the repeated several times but it turns out that was the number for all contraceptive support from USAID everywhere on Earth, of which none went to Palestinians.

Did you know that if a child with #measles walks into a classroom, every unvaccinated child will most certainly get it? Why are measles cases increasing worldwide? And is the measles vaccine safe and effective? Dr Natasha Crowcroft explains on Science in 5. Watch full EP: bit.ly/40RQqoC

Oh look

Meta is renewing its threats against employees, telling them today that they will hunt for leakers and tolerate zero leaks. Want to know how that is going? Three Meta employees who I’ve never spoken to before just cold messaged/emailed me offering me to be sources.

Ladies and gentlemen, a 2nd Trump Piñata has fallen in Mexico city.

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone here at Bluesky for the follows and the conversations and the constructive, substantive interaction. It's a great forum, a great resource for circulating and talking about the news, and -- most of all -- a pleasure. I'm grateful!

BREAKING: AOC blames crash on Trump / Elon “I represent LGA Airport as well as workers for JFK. Trump gutted the Aviation Safety committee last week. Air traffic controllers, already understaffed, got Trump’s “buyout” this wk with a 1 wk ultimatum to decide. It’s not DEI - it’s him. And Elon too.”

Bodies are still being pulled from the Potomac. The President and extreme MAGA Republicans are blaming women and people of color for the deadly plane crash. At the same time, they are dismantling the Federal Aviation Administration as we know it. Disgusting.

Georgia protestors continue to resist the corrupt pro-Kremlin government that stole their election, it's now day 64 and protests are stronger than ever.

they’re going to deport people for having opinions. they’re calling the united states the most authoritian regime on the planet

This is not a thought and prayers post,,, this is heartfelt hurt for the families and friends and US Figure Skating and DC School District and everyone who is affected. This is bout politicians who need to stfu bout trying to blame women and black people for this absolute tragedy,,, Not the time!!!

Trump put a freeze on hiring air traffic controllers and, on Musk’s instruction, fired the FAA chief early without replacing him. This should be the only thing Dems are saying today. They should all be out on media saying this.

Gosh, I remember when we had an actual president instead of a loudmouth bully who won't take responsibility for his actions.

BERNIE SANDERS: Vaccines do not cause autism. Do you agree? RFK Jr: As I said, I'm not going into HHS with any preordained-- SANDERS: I asked you a simple question, Bobby RFK Jr: If you show me those studies ... SANDERS: That is a very troubling response

Thank you, I’ll have plenty! I used to crochet a long time ago and just started knitting a few weeks ago. It’s been a great way to stop doomscrolling and reflect 😌 I’ve finished a Sophie scarf and have started a sweater. (I’m waiting for more purple yarn & am casting on a new cardigan as I wait 🫣)

Reporter: You blamed the diversity elements but then told us you weren’t sure that the controllers made any mistakes. Trump: It’s all under investigation. Reporter: That’s why I’m trying to figure out how you can come to the conclusion right now that diversity had something to do with this crash.

Thanks. This clarifies nothing.

Wow RFK Jr. just perjured himself on live tv

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a declassified World War II-era CIA guide to sabotaging fascism in the workplace has become one of the most popular free ebooks on the internet: www.404media.co/declassified...

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Get your champagne ready!

this is how it feels to reach 30 MILLION users!!!

Jim Acosta announces on air that he's leaving CNN and says, "it is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant ... don't give in to the lies."

True then. True now. Thank you, Willem Arondeus.

$1 trillion wipeout 😭😭

Giraffe helping a little turtle friend go faster..🐢🦒

Working on getting those prices down I see.

JFK's grandson John "Jack" Bouvier Kennedy Schlossberg calls out his cousins for staying silent as RFK Jr sits for senate confirmation -- suggests they know a lot that's damning. Sounds pretty pissed off

One thing about me is that I will fight Nazis until I’m six feet in the ground.

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯

Starting today, same-sex marriage is officially legalized in Thailand. It’s the first country in Southeast Asia to recognize marriage equality.
