Trump and Bukele claim they can't release anyone from CECOT BUT THEY ALREADY HAVE: at least 9 detainees El Salvador released back to the US in the last 3 months NINE other people freed. Why not Abrego Garcia, who's there on an "administrative error"? DEMAND HIS FREEDOM NOW

Good morning Bluesky !

Stop using AI. Yes, even just for fun. AI is built on STOLEN images and text. That’s right: by using it, you’re stealing from your friends. There is NOT ethical generative AI. Bonus bullshit: it is HORRENOUS for the environment. (Yes, even the cutesy profile photo cartoon things.)

Well, I've figured out why at nearly 56 I'm always in pain, and have issues moving about the world. I never thought I'd live this long, so never took any care of my meat prison. The joke's on me I guess. Well, and you, since I've evolved into a whiny baby

Multiple lawsuits have been filed challenging the executive order on elections. Here's why it's illegal and unconstitutional:

I saw this last night. Not sure what to think about it...

I’m with you all the way! 🖐️ I absolutely do not want any of my blue dot in a red state money going towards MAGA bailouts. #fElon47 can ask Pinocchio Elon, his billionaire buddies or churches for help.

Donald Trump and DOGE want to cut $2.6 billion in lifesaving medical research while Republicans in Congress shovel trillions in tax breaks to billionaires. The rich will get richer while the rest of America suffers.

Abolish ICE.

Much of Elon Musk's DOGE remains shrouded in secrecy, but two sources said it's using AI to surveil workers, marking an extraordinary use of technology to identify expressions of perceived disloyalty in a workforce already upended by widespread firings reut.rs/443eKWL

Dems should propose impeachment for the illegal tariffs. It's not just a unilateral tax. It is globo-political damage that we will not recover from.

“Kennedy’s team requested that Marks turn over data on cases of brain swelling and deaths caused by the measles vaccine—data that Marks said doesn’t exist because there have been no such confirmed cases in the U.S.” www.wsj.com/health/healt...

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.

This morning we learned that a well-known white nationalist met with the President and convinced him to fire several qualified generals for no reason. My concern is that this is the new normal. And that service to country no longer means anything to those in power.

America is solidly in our, “Scream ourselves to sleep, shit ourselves awake” era.

Worst two-day stock market crashes in the U.S. by percentage loss: 1. 1929 (the Great Depression) 2. 1987 (Black Monday) 3. 2008 (the Great Recession) 4. YESTERDAY AND TODAY And while this happened, the man responsible for it was golfing and dining with enemies of America.

Mark Kelly: "This is not surprising. Here's a guy who told Americans to inject bleach into their bodies, who sent a mob to Capitol Hill. And now I think it's fair to say he stands out as singlehandedly destroying more wealth with his bad decisions than anybody else who has ever lived on this planet"

Upon learning that your own mistake sent an innocent father to a brutal prison where he’s likely to be tortured, anyone with a shred of decency would be overcome with shame and fight like hell to get him back. They think it’s funny. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

The “don’t worry he can’t do that” to “don’t worry he’ll never do that” to “nobody thought he would do that” to “don’t worry here’s why doing that is no big deal” pipeline.

Holy shit. “I confess that I’ve been inadequate. That the Democrats have been responsible for allowing the rise of this demagogue.” Gives an impassioned apology and points to this as a moment of personal vow to action.

The average phone wait time to reach the Social Security Administration has doubled to 104 minutes, and the SSA website crashes 4 times last month. These problems have occurred as staff were cut and 6 out of 10 regional offices closed. Newest #HumanNeedsWatch 👇 www.chn.org/voices/human...
