Um, whatever happened to that little story a few weeks ago about hundreds of Trump's accounts being closed by Capital One bank because investigators found evidence of money laundering????? 🤷‍♂️🙄

@stephaniemiller.bsky.social Stephanie, we should make the next Democratic presidential candidate commit that on day one, he/she will tear down that bitch of a ballroom and put an East Wing where it ought to be!

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase. The President is building an army to attack his own country.

Six months after ICE apprehended 47 people, including nine kids, in Hays County, Tex., County Judge Ruben Becerra says DHS has ignored his attempts to get answers: “We’re not told why they took them, and we’re not told where they took them. By definition, that’s a kidnapping.”

Ossoff: Did anyone really think the sexual predator president who used to party with Jeffrey Epstein was going to release the Epstein files?

I'm going to try and communicate with my Republican colleagues in a new way.

Brutal.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 45 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

The fires of hell are not hot enough for the people who did this to him and so many others. They WANTED innocent people to be caught up in this cruelty. That's why this evil government insisted on no due process.

@washingtonpost.com They were not DEPORTED. Deported means sending them back to their country of origin. These people were sent to a maximum security prison in El Salvador, without any due process or any analysis as to whether they feared harm in El Salvador!

"DOGE got rid of people who were looking after nukes & then tried to hire them back. They got rid of people who were trying to fight Ebola & tried to hire them back...people who were trying to fight bird flu & tried to hire them back. The whole thing is a disaster." - me vs GOP Rep. Dan Crenshaw

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

The judge also ordered it to restore funds "appropriated in the Inflation Reduction Act and the Infrastructure Improvement and Jobs Act." In a footnote, the judge points out that the Trump admin understood the TRO's unambiguous directives when they violated it.

Please tell me the hill that you will die on, so that I can transport you there immediately

For decades, America has been promoting checks and balances and the rule of law around the world. But now these principles are under assault in Washington, and nobody seems to know what to do.

This is what happens when you ask me to help sanewash the Trump tariffs.

Morning Bluesky ☕️ I was just about to do a little screaming into the abyss, but apparently, I've been put on hold.

This is what they think a meritocracy looks like

Canadian MP Charlie Angus just sounded off on Trump. "So yes, they are our neighbors, but we've stood up to them. We're in a different situation with Trump, a convicted predator, who's seriously undermining the democratic process in the US. And he thinks he can just push us around. He insults us."

There it is

“We have indeed seen this show before, and I fear we do know how it ends. It’s understandable to want to retreat, to find solace where we can, but we cannot afford to look away.” www.nytimes.com/2024/11/24/o...

This is me (and millions of others I assume).

This is a very important point. Please let everyone know.

Anybody else find it strange we’re having a ‘peaceful transfer’ to absolute chaos?

Fun Fact: If the sun was scaled to the size of basketball; Mercury would be the size of a grain of sand 33 feet away, Earth would be the size of a BB 86 feet away, Jupiter would be the size of a gum ball 445 feet away. The nearest star would 5,000 miles away.

@bsky.app Are you going to at some point work properly in landscape mode on tablets?
