The Spotlight Operator

So only using a landline and not a smart phone will make my data susceptible anyway?

Maybe they wouldn’t have had time to do this if Illinois state police weren’t helping them protect their facility in Broadview?

I got a land line ladt week, stopped carrying a smartphone

Confirmed: ICE Is Arresting American Citizens—and Lying About It A government that flouts the Fourth Amendment and then lies about it to courts and the people has crossed a moral and legal frontier.

Confirmed: ICE Is Arresting American Citizens—and Lying About It

A government that flouts the Fourth Amendment and then lies about it to courts and the people has crossed a moral and legal frontier.

Unmask then all!

This is acting like a pure money laundering operation. They reported losing another $54 million last quarter. It has never made money. Investor money is just flying out the back door faster than in comes in to enrich a lot of shysters and grifters.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

—Harry Truman, 1952

The Trump administration has put a stop to EPA rules that would have required more than 130 industrial facilities to install air monitors to measure pollution.

Millions of people living near these plants face an increased risk of cancer.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And…

When the Supreme Court allowed immigration agents to consider race during sweeps, Justice Brett Kavanaugh said that citizens shouldn’t worry because if they’re detained, agents will “promptly let the individual go.”

For these Americans, that wasn’t true.

📽️ WATCH: The U.S. government doesn’t track how often immigration agents detain citizens. So ProPublica did.

We found more than 170 incidents since the start of Trump’s second term. Americans have been kicked, dragged and held for days without access to lawyers.

“60 Minutes paid me a lot of money”

In an edited-out part of the Trump interview Trump brags about extorting CBS for millions for… editing out a part of Kamala’s interview.

(He also makes it clear new CBS chief Bari Weiss is in his pocket) #RIPCBS

🛑ALERT🛑

1/10
While stock market crashes, the GOP is quietly pushing a bill to gut Medicaid.
It’s not a side story — it’s the main event.
They’re cutting care for millions to fund tax breaks for billionaires like Elon Musk.
Sound the alarm. Talk to people.

Here's your Fraud and Waste, DOGE.

Is this who we are? 😳🇺🇸

Japan’s banking sector in free fall.

Complete meltdown across all major financial institutions with 14-17% drops not seen since 2008 financial crisis.

👇🏽😕

…

I find it outrageous as well.

I posted the video over 2 years ago. People thought he was bluffing I guess.

We’re going to die

Here's MAGA hero Andrew Tate—who just dipped back into the U.S. to allegedly sexually assault his girlfriend before returning to the foreign country where he stands accused of Rape.

You can't find a MAGA anywhere who'll criticize this man.

MAGA is a sick, violent, abusive cult.

Rep. Tim Burchett says NPR and PBS must be defunded because "they literally hate this country": "They hate everything it's about. They hate our patriotism. They hate our Lord."

People in even super-deep-red districts are catching on to Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s robbery of the American people.

This is getting good.

This is more important than you realize. Bluesky doesn’t downgrade links. Which means news sites will get more traffic from here than other sites.

Which gives them economic reasons to post here first.

A new analysis reveals that Trump’s tax plan will “actively transfer money from low-income people to the top 0.1% of income earners.”

This is literally just corruption.

A news article headline reads, "White House Plans to Pause $175 Million for Penn Over Transgender Policy." The subheadline states that the decision is part of a broader effort to push universities to end diversity programming and adopt stricter discipline. Below the text is a photograph of a historic building on the University of Pennsylvania's campus, with a statue in the foreground and leafless trees framing the image. The article is authored by Alan Blinder and Michael C. Bender, published on March 19, 2025.

A news article continues discussing the Trump administration's decision to suspend $175 million in federal funding to the University of Pennsylvania due to its policies regarding transgender athletes. The article references a White House social media account announcing the move, citing Penn's support of transgender swimmer Lia Thomas as a justification. A response from Penn states that they have not received official notification and assert they are in compliance with all relevant regulations.

You wouldn't know from reading this New York Times story about Trump punishing the University of Pennsylvania for trans athletes that there are no trans athletes on women's teams at the University of Pennsylvania because the New York Times didn't find that detail worth including

Balaji Srinivasan suggests giving Elon Musk “control of a huge swath of land surrounding Starbase, Texas” & designate that land as “a military base or … similar, so that [Musk] can fence it off & determine at his sole discretion who can enter.” Then replicate in other states w/ other Tech Bros. 1/
