Man @jkbjournalist.bsky.social has to be one of the biggest thorns in Trump's side. This is crazy shit. She's absolutely a big reason why Prince Andrew is in cuffs, too.

@RepJeffries on X: Donald Trump promised to keep America out of costly and endless foreign wars. He is now doing the exact opposite in the Middle East. Congress must vote on a War Powers resolution immediately. 28 Feb 26
While Republicans fully support Trump's war with Iran, Democratic leaders do not oppose it. There is no effective opposition.
Hakeem Jeffries is merely demanding that the administration "must explain itself to the American people and Congress" and "provide an ironclad justification."
This is excellent.
Also, one of the reasons I stopped writing dystopias, reality always seems to "hold my beer" them.
things every single republican president of your lifetime has done
- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy
I don’t know if it’s sinking in with the general public that the president of this country was close friends with a notorious pedophile and that the department of justice is working to hide the fact that he himself is in there being accused of things like this…

I would like to replace our Secretary of Defense please 🇺🇸
The left tried for decades to pass green energy subsidies, passed them, the subsidies worked, and now literally the entire planet's electricity grid is going to convert to solar+battery. It just doesn't feel like "tech" because it mostly produces kinda boring blue collar jobs instead of billionaires
Brad Lander commits to cosponsoring the Block The Bombs Act if elected, which would ban the US government from transferring cluster bombs, JDAMs, artillery and tank shells, and other munitions to the Israeli government.

"I'd like to share a story from a local paper in Coldwater, Michigan dated to the 9th of April, 1945. It tells how the US Army, under General Patton--the US 3rd Army--came onto what you might call a detention center just outside the village of Ohrdruf, Germany. The US Army brought the leading citizens of Ohrdruf to tour the facility, which turned out to be part of the Buchenwald network of concentration camps. A US Army colonel told the German civilians who viewed the scenes, without muttering a word, that they were to blame. One of the Germans replied that what happened in the camp was (quote) 'done by a few people, and you cannot blame us all.' And the American, who could have been any one of our grandfathers, said, 'this was done by those that the German people chose to lead them, and all are responsible.' The morning after the tour, the Mayor of Ohrdruf killed himself. And maybe he did not know the full extent of the outrages that were committed in his community, but he knew enough. And we don't know exactly how ICE will use this warehouse. But we know enough. I ask you to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf might have thought before he died. Maybe he felt like a victim. He might have thought, 'how is this my fault? I have no jurisdiction over this.' Maybe he would have said, 'this site was not subject to local zoning, what could I do?' But I think, when he reflected on the suffering that occurred at this camp, just outside of town, that those words would have sounded hollow even to him. Because in his heart he knew--as we do--that we are all responsible for what happens in our community. I urge the council to take action to stop, or stall, or at the barest minimum to think creatively about how to exercise oversight over this proposed ICE facility. Thank you."
This is brilliant. I'm so grateful for this testimony. I've transcribed it to use in letters I'm writing. Sharing the full transcription here (see alt text to copy/paste it):
We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”
We didn't say body cams on ICE. Their murders are already on video. We said no more ICE.
This article is a very good example of why "more training" and "more vetting" isn't the answer. Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez joined Border Patrol in 2018 and 2014 respectively. These aren't new agents. www.propublica.org/article/alex...
First time we've had a goalie fight outdoors!
There’s a temptation to settle for less than abolishing ICE. The establishment certainly wants to stop at far less than abolishing ICE. But our future depends on its abolition. In Congress and in the streets we need to push harder than ever, not accept appeasement.

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
Stay free
again if this was an actual political party instead of a mafia that shakes down liberal aunties for actblue money, there would be mechanisms to get these people away from the levers
brass solidarity band performing “stand by me” in the streets of whittier next to alex pretti’s memorial. the crowd started chanting “the people united will never be defeated” so they incorporated it into the song. i love minneapolis
ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.
We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.
Stop complaining. If you don't like this country, leave. Got a broken tail light? Abandon your car by the side of the road. Toilet not flushing? Move out of your house. Never try to solve any problem, just give up

They were eventually allowed one phone call as a thanks for saving the agent’s life.
They used it to call their lawyer, who called their state representative, who ultimately got them released on the condition they tell people they were “treated kindly.”
In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.
Jamie Dimon and @postopinions.bsky.social should check their facts. Right now, federal law prevents states from doing this—and it's the big banks who want to keep it that way.
If you want to get on board to let states cap credit card rates and lower costs, I’m ready to pass the bill.
let's stop with the questions, ok??? fuck your content and fuck your clicks and even fuck your engagement.
so, instead of saying "should central park ban e-bikes?", say, "the city wants to ban e-bikes in central, here's why they shouldn't"
If the ring leader of a massive cheating scandal that stole a World Series is allowed into the Hall of Fame then the steroid guys should be in, too. Let’s be consistent! Put Bonds in!
To be politically conscious from 2000-2009, and more specifically from 2001-2005, was to have your brain stamped with a feverish Curse of Knowing. So when you see shit like this, all you can think is “Dick Cheney insisting on links between Al Qaeda and Saddam”. You never forget the scent.
These elected Dems still don’t get it. @booker.senate.gov
