Dave (he/they)

I've got to delete bluesky from my phone. It never makes me smile, only infuriates me. I was interested in what was actually happening in the world, unfortunately

Gulf of Mexico Lake Ontario PERIOD. I have gradually switched away from Google services since you began to suck on those big old yam titties. You sons of bitches at Alphabet are kowtowing to a dictator. Pathetic. Everyone on your product team should be ashamed everyday to work in service of fascism

I’ve finally started publicly posting about my deeply unpleasant experience working in federal government contractng last year. daveactually.substack.com/p/00012-indu...

The tragedy traces back to an ICE stop and deportation of Nixon Giovanni Pérez Paz. A year later, amid acute struggle, his wife, Glendy, decided to "self-deport." Weeks after reuniting, the couple was found dead in a field. “If my brother hadn’t been deported…Both of them might still be alive.”

The doctor who tried to save lives during Covid is being treated like a villain. The traitors who beat up cops at the Capitol on Jan. 6 are being treated like victims or heroes. It's American madness.

(919) 856-4630 call Senator Tom Tillis of North Carolina and tell him that he's complicit in the cover up of the most despicable crimes and tell his staffers they should be ashamed to show their face in public for the rest of their lives if Tillis votes to confirm Todd Blanche as attorney general

At least 79 kids have been harmed by tear gas or pepper spray during Trump’s immigration crackdown. In most cases, they were going about their days when officers shot chemical munitions near their homes and schools and into their cars. (Published May)

He never deleted it.

Was he? Is that by he went along with big cuts to foreign aid, to USAID, to support for AIDS programs? Why he supported Trump who dismantled State and the NSC and attacked the intel community? He was on both sides of this. Be honest.

Lindsey Graham on Gaza: "Just flatten it, like we flattened Tokyo and Berlin." Lindsey Graham on the Iran War: "We are going to make tons of money." Lindsey Graham on Renée Nicole Good: "She deserved what happened. She provoked ICE." As grandma used to say: GOOD RIDDANCE TO BAD RUBBISH.

The number of innocent lives lost around the world because of Lindsey Graham, one of the most bloodthirsty war hawks in Congress over the last few decades, is incalculable.

If I’m going to write about feeling excruciatingly depressed and not get a single pebble of engagement, Bluesky isn’t the right outlet. Not looking for a hundred likes. Three would be nice. Zero is invalidating, makes me feel I’ve launched my thoughts into a void.

Cruelty is the point of the Trump administration. They have zero regard for any intelligent life.

Kids, lookie here, we used to have presidents who were not bad monsters.

Always a new analogy for what he's done to the country

Nazis did this. Those Nazis and these Nazis.

The president is an abomination. No one alive on the planet is safe from his cruelty and no one should ever forget this. As for what to do with the tens of millions of Americans who disagree with me, I don't know how to break bread with them ever as long as I'm alive

Bari Weiss agrees and has decided CBS News will just be twelve dancing rabbits singing about toilet paper.

Just need to get some positive vibes out right now before 🤯

Can the administration at least hire an acting teacher if they're going to have so many acting cabinet officials? Gina Carano? James Woods?

I'm a vandal tonight. Little Debbie sullying the potluck. Honestly, who wouldn't eat a whole Big Pack right now if handed to you?

Millions dead Because of the Rapist Pedophile Murderer President of the United States of America It's against the law in this country to publicly wish him dead. Arguably, no American citizen has committed more cumulative heinous acts. I am opposed to capital punishment on principle. but...

Trump: "We lost 13 people. In other wars, you lost hundreds of thousands of people. I get a kick when I look at somebody on television and they say, 'he's lost 13 people.'" Trump's utter disregard for the value of human life is a disgrace for any person, let alone a president of the US. #momsky

Why there are not articles of impeachment being presented on the steps of the capital every day, it boggles mind. I don't give a shit if they do a cognitive assessment of the president there's not going to be a 25th amendment action. This is just the usual performative stuff by the minority leader

Season 3 Pitt—Robby makes a mess of the face of a grotesque politician who insists on wandering into the OR to help along with a film crew

Such animal abuse making him watch me eat after we're out of treats

The President of the United States is a rapist, murderer, and traitor. Most Americans don't care. His approval numbers may be low, but only because he's fighting a dumb war and a Whopper value meal is $10. Not because he's a rapist, murderer, and traitor.

A lot of talk of him being stupid today. Yes, but also a serial rapist and executioner who is shielded from accountability by many intelligent people. Btw, on X everyone still thinks Fauci is the mass-murderer.

I remain disturbed that people made their living trying to convince others that first graders who were murdered didn't exist in the first place

Indict me

Patrick heard skateboarders—one of the final big bads in our list of triggers we've encountered over the last 2+ years. Also, he pulled me into this parking deck because he could hear drummers practicing in Central Park #durhamnc

Trump is reported close to a "deal" with himself under which US taxpayers would pay him $10 billion. I served in multiple communist and authoritarian dictatorships, but I never witnessed corruption on this scale or this blatant.

Earth, April 2026

Our feelings about the last ten years captured in a single frame.

Yet we celebrate #SXSW and sports championships. We do nothing to put pressure on Texas to not hate women. We used to boycott states around holidays and flags. But Austin is great! Houston is so diverse! We're almost a purple state! Let me know when Texas stops treating women like property

Always welcome an opportunity to tell the truth about what happened at my last job even if I can't say this in an interview. Though I should because I don't ever want to work for a company that operates like this again

Mike Johnson, any Cabinet member: “The President likes to get people riled up. You can’t take it seriously" Caroline Leavitt: “Why should he apologize for being tough on illegals?” CNBC: “How do you think investors will respond to this” MAGA: “I just want a clearer answer on why we’re in Iraq"

Tune in at 8:00pm Eastern Time for a special event with the president in which he will literally prove his old hypothesis—“Who’s Gonna Be Shot On Fifth Avenue?” Polymarket will take bets. Will it be an American citizen? Will it be a world leader? Will he TACO at the last minute? Will it be himself?
