Look who’s popped by for a brief visit - and #sophiefromromania is delighted to see @sociabledog.bsky.social

Constituents to Chuck Grassley: "Are you bringing back that guy from El Salvador?" Senior Citizen: “If I get an order to pay a ticket to pay $1200 and I just say ‘no’, does that stand up? Because he just got an order from the Supreme Court and he just said ‘screw it’” “I’M PISSED!”

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

My partner got weirded out by how much my new calathea plant wiggles during the day, so of course I had to capture an 11 hour timelapse of it wiggling.

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

Oh my god you want me to find "evidence" before putting someone in jail? Every time?? Do you have any idea how long that would take

Excellent point!

WATCH: “Fascism is here. We cannot act like this is normal. Shame on you who are silent in this time.” Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social just spoke out about the Trump regime “kidnapping” #KilmarAbregoGarcia and refusing to return him.

This part

Try not to laugh.

Honestly, I don't even know what to say. This is literally perfect.

Ambassador Spock modeling the proper “fuck you, make me” response to intimidation tactics. Our current-day institutions could learn a lot from him.

Loved this, “FREE” always tastes so good…

80th day of Trump's bribery scheme operating out in the open.

Bluesky was the right call. Well done, you lot!

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

never known disappointment quite like going to the Fan Museum in Greenwich yesterday and noticing that their little leaflets said "why not become a friend of the museum?" and not, you know

Wow. Rep. Jake Auchincloss minces no words about Signalgate on Piers Morgan: “Pete Hegseth is lying to the American people, lying to Congress, lying to the military.” “It’s incompetence incarnate…It’s embarrassing & it’s dangerous.” This is how it’s done.

Had enough Sun this weekend? There's now a new big sunspot group so it looks like solar activity is building again. AR4048 (lower) is an active & growing region and is reported to be a greater threat for X-flares than AR4046 (upper) which delivered an X1.1-flare earlier #astronomy #astrophotography

Today's Partial Solar Eclipse. A 2 hour event delivered in a 20 second movie! Maximum sliced off was 44% A few very high level clouds but blessed with wall to wall sunshine in London. #astronomy #astrophotography @stormhour.bsky.social @virtualastro.bsky.social @astroroyalscot.bsky.social

"We've had a US proposal for an unconditional ceasefire for weeks. Russia's response? Drones, bombs, ballistic missiles," – Zelensky. "The scale and brutality of Russia’s strikes show daily how little Putin cares about diplomacy. Sanctions are needed."

I may be a sourpuss but I still found this pretty endearing.

My main goal in life is to someday be in a scenario where I get to do this
