very fun to read frederick douglass accurately describe the problem with the pardon power in 1867

I loved MSNBC Katie, but I love unshackled Meidas Katie even more!

Nazi Musk being against the fascist GOP bill that MAGA republicans are now pretending to be against all because he wants to pretend to give a shit about bankrupting America when he just helped destroy Govt Departments left and right in order to make money for himself is crazy AF.

I very much want to kiss Kate!

If Republicans were forced to tell the entire truth 100% of the time, they'd never win an election. They'd never even win a freaking argument. Here's an example:

I am very sad to report that Marc Garneau has died. First Canadian in space. Flew on three Space Shuttle missions. 🔭 🧪

The US Secretary of Education, Linda McMahon, seemingly does not know about the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre or Ruby Bridges: “I will look into it and get back to you.”

Russia is trying to bleed Ukraine dry. But Ukraine is draining Russia in real time.🇺🇦

Every accusation is an admission www.cnn.com/2025/06/04/p...

Don’t tell me they don’t know that. They do, they’re just deliberately misleading their gullible cult members….

Time for my bedtime snack. Goodnight.

#SportFishing is not a sport it is animal torture and murder 👺It is like trophy hunting completely reprehensible and sick. Causing extreme pain and death to innocent sentient beings is what these psychopaths do. Catch and release kills too. #BanSportFishing #StopFishing#LiveVegan do no harm 🙏

When @bradtakei.bsky.social and I first got together, we never imagined we’d one day celebrate Pride openly, let alone post about it on the internet. But here we are, joy and all. Happy Pride, everyone! Let’s keep showing up, speaking out, and marching forward (glitter optional, but encouraged). 🌈✨

Harvey Milk served his country honorably — first in uniform, then in public office. Taking his name off this Navy ship sends a clear message, and it’s one of disrespect and cruelty.

When are we getting those $5,000 checks they talked about from all the waste, fraud and abuse that DOGE was going to find?

SCOOP: DOJ is dissolving its four-decade old transnational crime fighting network, OCDETF. Its operations, I've learned, will be absorbed by the new DHS task forces But many q's remain. A group of Democratic senators have sent a letter to AG Bondi seeking answers 🎁 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Nacho President! 😜😜😜

The Army's recruitment numbers are up, but not for the reasons Trump and Hegseth claim. It started before the last election due to new initiatives like a preparatory course and an increase in recruiting bonuses. Getting rid of DEI had nothing to do with it. abcnews.go.com/Politics/arm...

The White House has officially asked Congress to approve a rescission package — a rare and extreme measure taken with the broader goal of eliminating public media entirely. This would be devastating for local stations and the communities that depend on them. (1/2)

Silence is an ocean of thoughts in which we drift, without destination and without haste. In it we find the space to meet ourselves, to explore our deepest desires and fears.

San Diego. Minneapolis. The urgency is showing and I’ve never been this confident that the people will win. I’ve never been this proud to be an American. From the bottom-up is how we fix this. We walk in fear but we walk together. Thank you. We have a role to play where we can. We all get to choose.

RFK Jr. is absolutely poisonous. He has now caused Dr. Lakshmi Panagiotakopoulos, the person in charge of COVID19 vaccinations at the CDC, to resign. She did so because RFK Jr. demanded that the experts in charge of vaccine guidance listen to him and not to the scientific evidence.

At 17, Emma Schwerin just became the youngest American woman to summit Everest—and the youngest ever to conquer the Seven Summits. Once she hated hiking. Now she’s at the very top of the world. 🏔️✨ www.newstimes.com/recordjourna... #BlueSky #MedSky #NewsSky

Can’t we all just get along?

It’s on record.

It’s called censorship…

Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.

“If this can happen in a Member of Congress’s office, it can happen to anyone — and it is happening...” www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

“One more question, sir. You wrote a book about the former president's cognitive issues, but the current president posted that the former president was executed in 2020 and replaced by a mindless, soulless robot with cancer. What am I missing here?”

This man was courageous enough to stand up to Trump and Vance. So it's important to post this message and photo to 27 million people. Don't just "like" it -- that only means that YOU'VE seen it. Postb it, blow it up and get it out there! #SlavaUkraini 🇺🇦

After three months in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody, a Filipino green-card holder who had been arrested at Seattle-Tacoma Airport has finally gone home.
