I wish more people would smear me with a gorgeous photo I took 8 years ago at a work function. Also we never had a joint podcast — we were guests on an NBC podcast once — but these people aren’t sending their best.
The degree to which this administration is evil would be comical if not for all the lives they impact.
I wonder how weakened his body became from his multiple serious covid infections he suffered during the height of the pandemic while he was in charge of his country and its covid response.
He’s an Indiana University dropout. Quelle surprise.
It's different, but it still feels like it's 2003, again. Just an even more foolhardy version.
Like Nelson and the pointy finger - but both at them and then at ourselves?
Seems she's been working awfully hard to trade out the nic ICE Barbie with Corruption Barbie.
It's been weird since late Jan with that snow that wouldn't go away. Several tornadoes, a splash of flash flooding ( 2 days ago) and these winds. At least the winds match the season/month?
Who'd a thought hoosier weather would become a metaphor for the wider spreading chaos?
Like a low brow literary figure taunting the ICC to pay close attention and doing so proudly.
Yikes. It's been sustained winds for hours down here (south central in), but nothing like that.
With no strategy. Just big booms. And in Trump's mind he's always right, so nothing could (can/will) gi wrong.
"If we have Senators and Congressmen there that can't protect themselves against the evil temptations of lobbyists, we don't need to change our lobbies, we need to change our representatives."

SCOOP: The Pentagon/Anthropic feud has been all over the news, but few details about how the military actually uses AI chatbots have come out, until today
@carolinehaskins.bsky.social uncovered tons of specifics about how these tools are likely being deployed www.wired.com/story/palant...
Great (sarcasm).
So all the writings about planning and strategies from the previous failed campaigns fed through a mechanically analytic lens using tools that become more sporadic (and at times prone to inject unreal things into the outputs.)
Sci Fi meets the Dr Strangeloves of Trumplandia.
To your point:

The federal government isn't supposed to detain immigrant children for longer than 20 days.
But when a Russian asylum seeker with 5-year-old twins asked why they'd been held for longer, an ICE officer falsely claimed the 20-day rule had been voided.
Says who? he asked.
"Trump," ICE responded.
"career-pressured officers 'detour' through repressive units not because they are fanatics, but b/c the detour is the only viable path upward. The regime does not need to recruit extremists. It only needs to create the right organizational conditions and then let ordinary career anxiety do the rest"
This was also a nightly observation in Chicago during Operation Midway Blitz. I’m so glad some reporting is out on it now.
When sec of def becomes Bagdad Bob...
Hegseth: "We will keep pushing, keep advancing. No quarter, no mercy for our enemies."
No quarter is the refusal to take prisoners and instead just execute everyone. It's been considered a war crime for over a century.
You know the war is going well when JD Vance’s allies are leaking that he was opposed to it all along. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...
WHY did I have to keep going down this path? Nate Cavanaugh was part of DOGE outing Mohammed Halimi, who was exiled from Afghanistan.
DOGE accused Halimi of sending money to the Taliban through his work at the Institute for Peace.
The Taliban then kidnapped Halimi’s family.
Donald Trump has been musing a lot lately about the fate of his soul after he passes away. I can’t imagine why that’s something he’s concerned about. bsky.app/profile/raph...
Beautiful. I'm in a limestone heavy area of southern Indiana - lots of heavy rain and fl9od8ng yesterday. Similar vibe to your description.
BREAKING: Anjanette Young, a social worker who was handcuffed while naked during a botched 2019 Chicago Police Department raid, is among six nominees to fill three vacant seats on the city’s police oversight board, officials announced Thursday. @wttw.bsky.social
After I hit send, I realized I was responding to a post with an embedded post that featured another person's quote, which might get a bit confusing. Lol.
Referring to Sanho Tree.
One of my best Bluesky follows. Insightful on a vast breadth of topics related to recent history/US foreign policy and putting issues_concerns into clearer context.
This whole thread highlights the immense incompetence of the American regime.
Kids playing cops and robbers put more thought into their games.
