I wonder how one possibly justifies any of these actions

Found this on Reddit. Seems about right.

I’m not confident it will or can.

When Trump and Musk decide to ignore the rulings of the courts, America will have ceased to be a constitutional democracy. Don’t say you weren’t fucking warned.

merikka, you got haters

Pam Bondi is disbanding the Foreign Influence Task Force - the FBI team that is charged with combatting foreign meddling in US elections. Worth asking how this makes us more safe in any way, shape, or form.

Word of the Day is ‘bayard’ (16th century): one who has the supreme self-confidence of ignorance.

Spot on from @chrismurphyct.bsky.social

⚠️ In case you’re still not clear what’s happening, look what happened to Palantir stock this morning after the CEO announced earnings and a “new phase” in its business: “We are still in the earliest stages, the beginning of the first act, of a revolution that will play out over years and decades.”

the discourse you’re getting now about USAID being a front for the gay agenda is very funny to me as someone who did foreign assistance gov work pre-COVID and was explicitly told that we were not to mention our queerness or queer issues for our own safety

When institutions are threatened by oligarchy, protest becomes more than a right—it is a duty. A silent population enables authoritarianism. Resistance through collective action is the foundation of democracy.

When Trump speaks of relocating Gazans, do not be fooled by his faux humanitarian concern. He is devoid of humanitarian feelings. He wants the beachfront land to develop. AlJared Kushner has also suggested Gazans shd be relocated & described Gaza as “ very valuable”property. They are monsters

Wow. Jamie Raskin discusses a possible impeachment of Donald Trump for illegal executive overreach. “Find me two Republicans and I’ll go to work tomorrow.” Would you support impeachment against Donald Trump?

Protests have erupted in response to reports of the “Department of Government Efficiency” (Doge) team gaining access to critical government financial data, including social security payments, Medicare reimbursements, and tax refunds—systems handling trillions annually. Nobody elected Elon!

Ladies and gentlemen, the 47th President of the United States. ( ° ͜ʖ͡°)

President Trump is already trying to undermine the ESA by invoking a rarely used provision that empowers a committee to decide the fate of endangered species.

Kamala Harris wanted a two state solution. Uncle Woo Woo the Fanta Fuhrer wants to invade it, make all Palestinians homeless and turn it into a beachside resort. Got it.

Absolute fucking insanity tonight on Gaza. Our country is being run by a madman. Two weeks of complete chaos and lunacy.

Not possible to repost this enough times.

🏆 Governor Pritzker- Illinois - has signed an order prohibiting all J6 rioters from state employment.

When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone here at Bluesky for the follows and the conversations and the constructive, substantive interaction. It's a great forum, a great resource for circulating and talking about the news, and -- most of all -- a pleasure. I'm grateful!

That’s about right

Shameful and not even slightly surprising

The deadly collision between an Army helicopter and a passenger jet appeared to confirm what pilots, air traffic controllers and safety experts had been warning for years: Growing holes in the U.S. aviation system could lead to the kind of crash that left 67 people dead in the Potomac River.

Germany did this at just the idea that a far right party was growing. DO AT LEAST THIS NOW! Sound on Unmute vid

When Trump regained power he fired the heads of the Transportation Security Administration ( TSA) and Coast Guard - he eliminated all the members of a key aviation security advisory group. By blaming DEI & Biden he’s deflecting from this fact apnews.com/article/coas...

Not today, Satan

As a father of five kids, I totally agree with this evergreen post.

We should celebrate our diversity not suppress it. America is a diminished nation without everyone’s participation.

Priorities…👇

Ope! The bill would make it “unlawful for a person to discharge genetic material without the intent to fertilize an embryo.” www.wlbt.com/2025/01/22/m...

Had to repost this one originally posted by Shane. Truth..... bsky.app/profile/shan...

So let me get this straight, Rev Lorenzo Sewell gave an over the top prayer at the inauguration, and then literally launched a crypto coin after? This is just the biggest grift in human history. Ever. OMG

Judge blocks trumps attempt to end Birthright Citizenship. A Reagan appointed judge says its clearly unconstitutional. Now we wait and see where SCOTUS is in this fight. www.cnn.com/2025/01/23/p...

Holy crap! An aide to Mike Johnson advised against House Republicans issuing a subpoena for Cassidy Hutchinson — a White House official who testified against Trump about Jan 6 — out of concern that doing so could expose “sexual texts from members who were trying to engage in sexual favors” with her.
