the message should be "impeach and remove"

thank you. this magically animated pile of slime is up for reelection in south carolina, this november. somehow his race is listed as "safe." safe for him, not the country

absolutely, 100%. very heavy-handed intimidation of the press, on display.

maggie in particular is the trump whisperer, commonly criticized for being too close to him, too deferential, and too accommodating.

so this means he is leaning heavy on her not to publish something.

is she not on bsky?

this specific conviction was not about a case of merely protesting. someone had an ak and shot an officer.

you're correct that trump's doj using terrorism charges for protestors could lead to dark places.

yeah i bet trump would love to fill his camps with protestors. ice actions seem like bait.

Anti-ICE protesters accused of being part of antifa found guilty of support for terrorism in Texas Case was seen as major test of the first amendment and whether the US could use broad anti-terrorism statute to prosecute leftwing protesters

Breaking news: A jury convicted people who protested outside an ICE facility in Texas of providing material support to terrorists, and other charges in a closely watched case in which the gov't argued the protesters were "Antifa". www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

lol definitely

just trying to highlight orange guy's distinct propensity for incredibly hokey fraudster hoax tricks. like that feb 2025 epstein "dump" of already public material, with the tv format he loves, with tables and stacks of binders

trump is basically saul goodman

but with human trafficking

Dark money group offers influencers $1,500 for posts attacking Chicago Democratic primary candidate Progressive House candidate Kat Abughazaleh told MS NOW the secretive campaign is “filled with false and defamatory claims.”

HOLY SHIT.

A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election.

Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?

"prime minister tusk said 'more and more leads, more and more information, and more and more commentary in the global press, all relate to the suspicion that this unprecedented pedophilia scandal was co-organized by russian intelligence services"

Autocracy in America There are authoritarian tactics already at work in the United States. To root them out, you have to know where to look.

this is your reminder that @anneapplebaum.bsky.social has a supremely excellent podcast series called Autocracy in America, and the new season is essential listening.

yes. i follow him. i hope you're not alluding to an appeal-to-authority argument.

buddy is having some kind of episode and messaging horribly, i'm afraid to say. reads as a cry for help. so i have come to his assistance.

those who see he's a russian agent knew to expect anything, including all these kinds of things

new plants are also outputting more and lasting longer

vogtle was a case with several causes, it is not the norm.

nuclear tech is there. it pays for itself and it outputs a ton of renewable energy.

good for russian oil sales!

5/ And on the Strait of Hormuz, they had NO PLAN. I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the Strait, but suffice it say, right now, they don't know how to get it safely back open.

Which is unforgiveable, because this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable.

mtg voters mass disillusioned and demobilized, lol

even when we expel the orange sludge, the iran situation will remain.

oh hey just the kind of thing pootin would want, long-term damage to usa.

the conman chooses to not know what words mean. that way he can say anything.

These green policies are the kind of power mechanisms that I think you're looking for. Not sure what kind of scheme you're imagining that everybody should be focusing on instead of that.

By the way, would elected officials qualify as powerful entities? Because raising awareness is directly relevant to achieving the needed green policies that are absolutely crucial solving this situation.

Furthermore it seems that you are not aware that much Green Technology is cheaper than fossil fuel alternatives. Nuclear is extremely cost-effective and it is viable and green. Wind can be quite effective. HEVs also serve people's material interests.

You were mistaken to present this thread as a zero sum either-or. You didn't need to attack people focused on raising awareness about the climate situation in order to highlight this idea that you have about power blocks.

Hey dude. Thanks for being angry at me through the internet. I'm sorry that it's frustrating to you that raising awareness is necessary to solve the greenhouse problem, and info propagation is an unsolved problem in 2026, and concepts & terms like framing and messaging our key to dealing with that.

Trump won't say if he'll send armed agents to the polls. So Dems are suing to find out “Trump wants to bully and cheat his way through a midterm election that he knows Republicans will lose, but we won’t let him,” DNC Chairman Ken Martin said.

🚨BREAKING: Democrats filed a lawsuit Tuesday demanding President Donald Trump’s administration unveil their plans, if any, for deploying federal officers or troops on election day. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

jan '25 - trump halts epstein investigations

what comes out is still bad

this whole thing was cleaning operation

Iran had just agreed to ship out their enriched uranium, too

i'll live in the forest

biking through to note:

the 1787 Fugio cent was the first coin of the united states. it features the prominent motto: mind your business.

america's founders intended for the us to be isolationist. we're learning why. they knew we attract trouble by foreign entanglements.

putin's real objective would not be necessarily to cause trump to seize power. he would aim to neutralize the US and cause it to implode.
