JFC Why you guys cannot say something like what the Canadian PM had said @albomp.bsky.social @senatorwong.bsky.social @tonyburkemp.bsky.social @jimchalmers.bsky.social @chrisbowenmp.bsky.social @jasonclaremp.bsky.social @australianlabor.bsky.social

Elon Musk should talk to Mikhail Khodorkovsky, once Russia's richest man.

We feed you. They hunt us.

Far from the first one to say this. But agrobusiness regions, even in blue states, are generally in red areas. They're heavily dependent on undoc'd labor. Take the dairy industry in Kristi Noem's home state or in CA. we're not seeing any of these raids there. not zero. but they're getting a pass.

Leak: Russia's Black Sea Fleet currently does not have a single combat-capable submarine. Kilo-class B-271 Kolpino has been sent for repairs prior to inspection. All other submarines are either permanently docked in inoperable condition or can only be used for training.

ICE is putting the immigrants it sweeps up mainly into privately owned prisons. All of those prisons, and the communities where they are located, now have a direct financial incentive in maintaining fascist immigration policy. Awesome dynamic, nothing could possibly go wrong.

"Tech companies have been the largest purchasers of clean energy, including solar power, and have committed to slashing carbon emissions." - WSJ Except on their yachts and private jets. Still, shows how China's energy policy gives it a huge advantage on this point. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Does #ProV&V have ANY connection, however slight, to Poland? This is a serious question, NOT a joke!

Who is Jack Cobb?? Does he have a connection to Musk or other MAGA operators? Has he come into a lot of money recently? #ProV&V Who's going to find out?

Is there ANY connection between #ProV&V and Mesa County Colorado's voting machines? Now or when Tina Peters was in charge? Who's looking into this?

Pro V&V tampering with voting machines for the 2024 presidential election is the story of the century (so far) - for whoever wants to report it... Harris won.

Watching the right now oppose the part of the second amendment that guarantees a well regulated militia under state control is… something.

🇭🇺‼️ Why did the Hungarians need information about where we deployed the S-300 air defense system? They even had a list of 11 questions, including what the residents of Transcarpathia would say about the presence of Hungarian peacekeepers, — Zelensky.

Not a doctor. Not a scientist. No. A longtime heroin addict and current steroid enthusiast who perjured himself in confirmation hearings in order to pursue a twisted agenda that will kill more Americans than Osama Bin Laden.

I ran an experiment, simultaneously posting articles on Bluesky and X, and then testing to see how many people actually clicked and read them. The numbers on Bluesky are higher, both because the X algorithm downranks journalism, and because Bluesky attracts readers, not just shitposters.

I've been waiting for this article for seven months!! Because it never made sense. But my money was on Starlink as the vehicle.

With the news from Los Angeles that David Huerta was charged with conspiracy and that the President and his Administration have authorized the National Guard to quell "riots" and "insurrection," I thought I might offer a historical parallel in case it's instructive.

Does anyone really think that Stephen Miller and Steve Bannon are going to tell us if Trump is stumbling and mumbling when the cameras are off??

🤬 Russians hit a maternity hospital in Odesa with Shahed…

Imagine being Stephen Miller and trying to arrest every day laborer outside every Home Depot all cause a Mexican kid in middle school called you p*to

Lutnick is Squealer from Animal Farm.

Two words: KENT STATE Ohio National Guard killed 4, wounded 9 protesters. May 4, 1970. May they rest in peace.

Know what? Never thought I'd say this, but this makes me want to move to LA.

Stephen Miller has had a pathological hatred of Hispanics since his teens. He's calling the shots now and won't stop. This is far beyond Goebbels. An entire government is infected with one man's venom. This is his Armageddon & where it all started for him. It's just beginning. It will end badly.

interesting that we haven’t seen miss kristi noem out on the LA streets in her little tactical vest!

"Hello darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again." Last night @jvl.bsky.social and I got together to try to soberly examine the current situation, and to analyze how Trump is exploiting it to fundamentally carry out his authoritarian ambitions. youtu.be/8skWRsHrHsE?...

"Mass deportation" is the excuse and trigger for authoritarianism. As it was always intended to be.

We’re now seeing the price of the decision by many journalists, election analysts, pollsters, and others who chose to normalize Donald Trump and MAGA to avoid looking biased.

As you see Trump defending his decision to deploy the National Guard into LA and potentially elsewhere, just remember that he did *not* order the DC Nat Guard to protect the Capitol on Jan. 6. I debunked that lie, told by some of his prominent surrogates, here: www.justsecurity.org/93316/anatom...

Statistically “America” is its cities. But we’re stuck with an 18th century political architecture that gives votes to cornfields & thus makes it politically viable to treat them as some kind of weird tumor.

If your response to this video is, “That’s what I voted for”— Fuck you. Fuck you very much. You’re heartless.

Here, I made a helpful graph to assist with “Cities are where very, very large numbers of Americans live” discourse, with real Census data and everything.

It’s not just that it’s clearly intentional, it’s that it’s clearly intentional knowing that he’s being recorded. They know they can do whatever they want with complete impunity.

In itself it's not the biggest thing but Congress specifically passed a law requiring ICE to allow access to members of Congress because of Trump's antics in the first term. This isn't even norms. It's violating black letter statute law.

LAPD when they think nobody is watching

The same autocrat sat on his fat ass for hours watching armed thugs storm the US Capitol and brutally attack police officers while trying to stop an ELECTION - and did nothing. In fact, he later PARDONED the convicted criminals. Americans ELECTED him - TWICE. What does that say about Americans?
