Insanity: The deportation flights Trump used military jets for—that Mexico refused to accept—cost the U.S. up to $852,000 per flight to attempt to deport just 80 migrants at a time. To compare, flights directly chartered by Immigration and Customs Enforcement cost just $8,577.

I just found out that @aaronparnas.bsky.social is a Zionist who said “Israel is not committing genocide.” He only reports left-leaning news because he’s mad at Trump. He’d probably be at Mara logo rn hanging out with the maga bros otherwise. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8FcU8gY/

A lot of my mutuals follow Aaron Parnas, please note that he’s re-posted a lot of content on TikTok supporting the genocide of Palestinians. When called out, he doubled down, though hasn’t been re-posting genocidal content. He seems to be trying to fly under the radar not re-examining his positions.

Remember this day. The last full day with a Democratic President. We don’t know when or if we’ll ever live another day like this. 🥺

A lesson from the TikTok Affair should be that bipartisan efforts to preserve U.S. national security are vulnerable to the incoming president getting bought off and switching sides for his own personal and political benefit. Not great!

Right, you know that thing where you like his work, but heard he has some accusations, and you kind of knew there was some drama with his ex, and you didn't really know what the truth was but you had a feeling there was something, but if you ignored it it wouldn't be real? Time to stop doing that.

Nice people are struggling over the revelations on Gaiman, and something I keep hearing is, 'His work had a big influence on how I shaped my own identity.' So here's something to remember: You did that. He didn't do it for you. 1/

He orchestrated a coup. It failed. He was a convicted felon. He rose to power on a wave of divisive propaganda and hateful anti-immigrant rhetoric. He promised to make things great again. He threatened to annex his neighbors. I'm referring, of course, to Adolf Hitler.

He can’t ever just be decent. It’s all political, cruel and transactional.

Nothing to worry about here, just a political purge of our national security apparatus that will replace long-serving experts with dimwitted bootlickers. I'm sure our safety and security won't be impacted at all.

Gov. Abbott ordered all flags in Texas to be raised to full staff, which violates the Flag Code, and shows a disgusting lack of respect for an American president. These lily-livered Trump sycophants continue to betray America for a little bit of royal favor from their Dear Leader. #Abbott #Texas

ok one more "how we do it on bluesky" re: "block, don't engage." it's not that anybody wants to tell you what to do -- it's that we collectively realized that this is what works. it works really great! zero, zero response needed. just block! don't argue at all with dickheads! try it! you'll see.

The reason we know about RFK Jr’s brain worm is that he mentioned it during a divorce deposition, to argue that he was cognitively impaired and therefore had limited earning potential. Now he’s up for a cabinet post www.nytimes.com/2024/05/08/u...
