Well done, NYC!

FYI for those of us going to Gitmo with @mollyjongfast.bsky.social. First message: 2-1/4-5/1-3//1-5/3-1/2-3

Musk now facing criminal probe in France over alleged X algorithmic bias.Prosecutors are investigating claims the platform distorts automated data processing, spreading misinformation to interfere elections. The EU isn't playing. Why are WE? #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory www.cnbc.com/2025/02/07/e...

Ready for this one? Pubescent member of Leon’s demolition posse was fired from a cybersecurity firm for… Wait for it: 🚨⬇️🚨⬇️🚨⬇️🚨 LEAKING COMPANY SECRETS. #BigBalls www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Trump stops payment on American infrastructure projects because only Joe Biden could get a major bill passed. Now he wants to spend your money rebuilding Gaza, which he plans to ethnically cleanse. That's real America First, baby.

To have a tiny little bit of understanding of why Ukrainians fight Putin's Russia, watch Canadians' reaction to being told to become the 51st state so their problems would go away

😂🤣😂

The international community is booing the US national anthem, the vast majority of fentanyl comes in via US citizens, and the Biden administration secured the same deal of 10,000 border troops in 2021 without plunging the country (and markets) into chaos. But sure, great work 👍

This asshole could have ended it all by voting to convict and remove. He can fuck off with this late stage bullshit.

Oh it’s nothing. Just GOP Attorneys General threatening a private business which is listening to its customer preferences and defying the gross “obey in advance” trend. Now is a good time to support Costco. www.cbsnews.com/news/costco-...

ICE detained a family—including a toddler—after they were overheard speaking Spanish. They’re US citizens from Puerto Rico. No chance to explain. The mother, grandmother, and child were shopping when ICE agents took them into detention before admitting their “mistake.” This is Trump’s America.

Yep.

One of the reasons we are all freaking out is because Democratic leadership is nowhere to be seen. We need a democratic pseudo president to address what is going on and what we can do about it. Someone who has rallies, interviews. Show us sane in an insane world.

Think about this.. for a second. Doesn't take you much time to get it! Them? Eons.😉

Mitch McConnell voting against Hegseth is like Hannibal Lecter becoming a vegetarian on his deathbed

Dear BLUE SKY As we are in full throws of the Musk/tRump nightmare OUR Democratic House Leader Hakeem Jeffries will play such an important role for YOU & OUR COUNTRY Hakeem Jeffries has 148K followers He should have EVERYONE FOLLOWING HIM HELP ME BOOST @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

Of course, we would not be here at all if McConnell had voted to convict Trump in the impeachment trial. But sure, big hero now …

To help folks out, I made this handy identifier:

I aspire to someday have even half of the courage of Bishop Budde. WWJD? This.

He didn’t put his hand on the Bible when swearing in. Probably because that would set it on fire.

On a day when the media focus is on a felon, a reminder that giants in the fight for equity and civil rights have walked amongst us. May we continue to push forward in her memory. RIP, Cecile.

The irony of MAGA wanting to take over Canada and Greenland but can't handle being outside in the cold for a single day for Donald Trump's inauguration. 🤦‍♀️

It was in the twenties when President Obama took his second oath of office.

At the 1961 outdoor inauguration of John F. Kennedy, 8” of snow had fallen overnight and the “feels like” temperature was 7 due to windchill. Close to a million people attended. Ironic that the Right has spent years tossing the term “snowflakes” at liberals - it’s clear who is too old and weak.

Commemorating great moments of American bravery in the face of harsh winter conditions: - Washington’s troops crossing the Delaware; - victory at the Battle of the Bulge; - moving Inauguration indoors so Trump’s hairspray doesn’t shatter.

God’s response to the order to disrespect Jimmy Carter by raising flags back to full staff … www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2025...

"When America sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with them. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. And some, I assume, are good people." --Greenland

A real photo and perfect metaphor heading into 2025.

This is a deeply vulnerable & personal piece my wife Ayesha & I wrote about our daughter & the incurable disease she lives with. We wrote it not because her story is special—but because it is all too common. This torture must end. Please read & share your story: www.qasimrashid.com/p/when-insur...

NEW: “Eat What You Kill” Hailed as a savior upon his arrival in Helena, Dr. Thomas C. Weiner became a favorite of patients and his hospital’s highest earner. As the myth surrounding the high-profile oncologist grew, so did the trail of patient harm and suspicious deaths. @davidmcswane.bsky.social
