Bovino, as required for a Trump Administration job, is a shameless liar. What’s scarier than that is perhaps 25 to 35% of the nation are totalitarian-souled bootlickers eager to believe him. How do you make a nation out of people like that?
To paraphrase @greatdismal.bsky.social The fascism was always here, just not as evenly distributed
I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.
The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.
They think they can provoke us into abandoning our values. They are wrong. We will keep the peace. We will secure justice for our neighbors. And we will see this occupation end.
ICE killing #AlexPretti should remind you of police killing #PhilandoCastille. Both men had concealed weapon permits, did not draw their guns, & were killed in Minn. These homicides are the price of unaccountable policing. These deaths are variations on the same fatal theme.
A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.
The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.
A cartoon of a news report. The picture shows a government official doing a press conference flanked by goons. The headline reads “A man attacked federal bullets with his body” Underneath the picture is a quote saying “those bullets had families”

Newsom’s position regarding trans people is a non-starter for me. You asked people to give alternatives as one response. You also don’t want Newsom criticized. I offered alternatives. You defend your strategy. I would like you to change strategy. You do you. I’ll do me.
I ask that you take into consideration both what being willing to look the other way with regard to Newsom’s stance means and your criticism of others for not putting others forward. I ask that you advocate for other candidates too instead of being irritated others aren’t doing that for you.

FYI: Throwing people under the bus, demanding that people get in line, and implicitly saying “screw your family members, they can’t make their decisions, even as adults” is not a deal breaker for you is not a good look.
This is the guy Dems are insisting people should rally behind? Really?
Governor Newsom dates 19 year old, thinks that anyone under the age of 26 isn't fit to make meaningful decisions.
Trans healthcare trolley problem An unknown number of trans people have been tied to one of the train tracks, while a runaway trolley is set to roll down the empty track, saving the trans people. However, that guy over there might voluntarily walk onto the train track. Do you pull the lever, sacrificing the trans people to protect that one guy from possibly making a mistake?

I NASA estimates it will take 20+ launches to refuel StarShip HLS for its moon landing.
It is unclear to me how they will accomplish 20+ fuelling launches in the 54 months left in this decade when they still haven’t made it to orbit.
No Moon with SpaceX this decade... and no Mars.
Shameful, cruel behavior by men in masks who fully know their behavior is so inexcusable they can never show their faces.
New from 404 Media: ICE is using a new facial recognition app to identify people, leaked emails show. Point camera at person, reveal their identity. It uses the CBP system that records peoples' faces as they enter or exit the U.S. Now, turned inwards to be used by ICE www.404media.co/ice-is-using...
The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered.
Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again.
Their inaction is deadly.
Local news now confirming victims were legislators and their spouses:
@governorwalz.mn.gov: "The road to authoritarianism is littered with people telling you you're overreacting."
Remember as we see the Elon-Trump fight that part of the reason we are in this mess is because a lot of people think that *women* are too emotional to be the president... 🙄
Thanks to @thenation.com for copublishing our cover story with us.
Just wait. Cryptocurrencies, like Trump’s coin, are going to be like the German Mefo bills. They will be for the same purposes (off the books activity funding war) and be just as much a Ponzi scheme backed by corruption, forced labor, and thievery.
This isn't hypothetical.
The coming days are bringing higher prices and disrupted supply chains, this time not because of a pandemic or a war, but self-inflicted by our country's government under this president.
Donald Trump spent $23M on golf (up to mid march).
Over 56 days, he spent $410k of our tax dollars each day at his own clubs.
That is one 3-year NSF grant per day.
Waste and abuse, my ass.
