I’d love for this insane post to generate 1/3 the coverage that Biden’s debate debacle generated.

Page One in Des Moines. @jemsinger.bsky.social

this is the most sociopathic thing ive ever seen and i wrote a whole book about neonazis

This is how it’s done! FRIDAY: South Park, San Diego, neighbors weren’t having it. When ICE rolled up on an Italian restaurant in unmarked cars and started grabbing workers, the community hit the streets. (Sound up)

Here’s the Democrat running against Joni Ernst! Please give him a follow and your support. Let’s get Ernst out of Congress! @sageforiowa.bsky.social

They’re doing the meme.

Between this and the Venezuelan TPS ruling, #SCOTUS has now cleared the way for removing more than one million non-citizens who, until now, were *legally protected* against removal. This also ratchets up the stakes in the "third-country" removal case, since many of these folks *can't* be sent home.

WOW — Republican Senator Joni Ernst when told kicking people off Medicaid will kill people: “WELL, WE’RE ALL GOING TO DIE.” 🤔😳 And this is the “pro-life” party? Also — the federal Medicaid program does not cover undocumented immigrants: finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-a...

He is now barred from ever becoming an officer in Oregon ever again.

Something spicy & delicious as a taco has gotten under Trumplestiltkin's thin tangerine skin. Seems the master of mean, juvenile nicknames can dish them out but when directed towards him, he can't take it, angrily calling it "nasty."🤣 Good to know. (you know what to do!) 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮

Wow. Avelo airlines has covered up their logo to hide the fact that they're helping with mass deportation. Avelo's customer service number is (346) 616-9500. Feel free to give them a call and tell them how you feel about them.

If someone isn’t parking a TACO food truck outside the White House, what are we even doing with this stupid timeline!?

This is either the best underhand shot at JKR or the natural, hilarious outcome of her mixed up ideology but I will not stop laughing all day.

BREAKING: Judge Contreras has blocked Trump's tariffs as unlawful. This is a *separate* injunction by a federal judge in D.C., unrelated to the block issued yesterday by judges on the federal tr de court. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

To mark Hamilton‘s 10th anniversary, Lin-Manuel Miranda and the production’s original cast will reunite at the Tony Awards.

200+ scientists are in the middle of a marathon livestream to show why weather and climate science is so important and needs all our help to continue. It is here: wclivestream.com/watch

Federal judges sided with Oregon and 11 other states in their suit against President Trump over his use of the a 1977 emergency powers law to impose tariffs on nearly all imported goods to the country. The judges' order strikes down the tariffs. oregoncapitalchronicle.com/briefs/feder...

Hidden in the Republican budget bill: a provision to do away with all oversight on AI systems with rent fixing algorithms. If your rent starts to go up, Republicans are to blame.

Lawmakers created the Oregon Environmental Restoration Fund in 2024 after the state reached a nearly $700 million settlement with Monsanto for its alleged role in polluting the state with toxic chemicals. It’s the largest pollution settlement in Oregon’s history.

Miss Rachel isn’t on Bluesky, but her posts about Gaza should be. I wish this wasn’t so unusual to see from people with big platforms.

Many people at the town hall expressed worry about the future, especially when it comes to potential cuts to Social Security, Medicaid and SNAP benefits. https://www.koin.com/news/oregon/rep-janelle-bynum-calls-republican-backed-tax-bill-trash-during-town-hall-in-portland/?cid=bluesky_

I'm just saying it feels like this level of sustained anxiety should be burning more calories than this

When Americans raised concerns about RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine views, he said he was "not gonna take away vaccines from anybody." But now he's taking them away from millions of mommas and babies. Vaccine recommendations should be based on science, not RFK Jr.'s political agenda.

On Memorial Day, we remember the sacrifices that our men and women in uniform and their families have made to preserve our freedom. May we always strive to honor the strength and resolve they’ve shown our country.

Under the Biden administration, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau finalized a rule barring medical debt from appearing on credit reports. Now, the agency is siding with the credit industry groups suing to have the rule vacated.

In case y'all missed it - Utah Republicans ordered a study on transgender healthcare, expecting it to come back unsupportive. Instead, it found that trans youth care was safe and effective, and that transgender youth need it. Whoops. www.sltrib.com/news/politic...

We make jokes about this sometimes because it’s laughable. But when journalists try to make sense of the nonsensical, rational out of the irrational, and coherence out of the incoherence, they affirmatively do the public interest great harm.

Buried deep in the text of the more than 1,000-page bill is a measure to restrict the federal courts’ authority to hold officials in contempt if they violate court orders.

Disinformation straight from the White House.

whew the truth of this

Right now, Republicans in Congress are trying to push through a bill that would put millions of Americans at risk of losing their health care. They want to cut federal funding for Medicaid, take away tax credits that help more people afford coverage, and raise costs for working class families.

McGovern: We live in the richest country on Earth and not a single kid in this country should go to bed hungry, not a single damn one and especially when Republicans are giving millionaires and billionaires a big fat tax break.

SCOOP: Less than two weeks before the start of hurricane season, the head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) rescinded the agency’s strategic plan, which includes a document that guides agency priorities when responding to disasters, WIRED has learned.
