Okay, let's start a thread for nonviolent #civildisobedience Please post your ideas to make things uncomfortable. Please share so that others can make use of them. Remember that laws vary by states, so check your laws, I'm not a lawyer, etc.

In case you didn't know, Andy Weir - who is apparently not on Bluesky? - is a geek. From Project Hall Mary, pg 92

the fuck is the literal Secretary of State and supposed national security advisor doing at a moment like this

“The best Princes have ever encouraged and promoted Freedom of Speech; they know that upright Measures would defend themselves, and that all upright Men would defend them."

Trump: "You daughter, she has to be of age. Like above 6 years old."

I was asked to check this, the journal uses a Rail Fence Cipher, so you read each line up and down, left to right. The deciphered text in the article below is accurate, and names names. The file itself can be found here: www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

WSJ says ICE is lying. Read that again…. The Wall Street Journal is calling out the lies

She should be impeached whether or not the regime embraces her.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

After admitting Alex Pretti's gun appeared to be removed prior to the shooting, a Fox host speculates on what the officer could say to make the shooting “legally justifiable”

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

ICE secretly told its officers that any time someone has been ordered removed, ICE can break down their door. It has been accepted for generations that the only thing which can authorize agents to break into your home is a warrant signed by a judge. No wonder ICE hid this memo!

I just finished one of the most important books I read all year. Please add The Presidents and the People by Corey Brettschneider to your list. Give him a follow too. @democracyprof.bsky.social

He's already taken someone's Purple Heart

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

working on a new unified theory of american reality i'm calling "everyone is twelve now"

What is the statute of limitations on this?

Hey North Carolina! This is one of our Courage Candidates, @kyahcreekmore.bsky.social who is running in NC-05. Give him a follow! You’re never too young to make a difference

No, he isn’t. There is literally no legal means by which he can do this. It’s not presidential power. TPS by law cannot be terminated early, and Somali TPS is not set to expire until March 17, 2026.

Last weekend, my youngest was part of the crew for their high school production of Hadestown. And it once again got me thinking about how long people have been trading freedom for 'security' - and how that security is so often a lie.

Me in the euphoria post-election, settling down to work: Stars are blah blah. "As these bright dreams encounter one another..." Yes, it will likely be a darling cut, but I'm leaving it in for now.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Sometimes, offline, I feel like my house is the only piece of sanity in a surreal reality.

“Maybe there are more than we think.” Mine for @skyandtelescope.bsky.social

Sometimes I wonder if giving up a steady paycheck was the right call and sometimes I don't.

Watch my supercut of things Mike Johnson doesn’t know. You can see the whole show here: www.youtube.com/live/Ams4OLn...

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions "Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

This is mutual aid, not charity, a community response to hunger & instability when gov safety nets fail. Right now, as 42 million Americans who rely on SNAP food assistance face uncertainty during the gov shutdown, understanding the difference between charity and mutual aid is incredibly important.

Love this so much. As a Georgia resident, after reading One Person, One Vote, (by Carol Anderson), I cried. Push back, California. Push back, USA.

New in PN: The triumph of bullshit "We’re a long way from 'covfefe' and tumescent hurricanes Sharpied on a weather map. This is an era of lies as policy, where government priorities are based on right-wing conspiracy theories and fear-mongering."

So I just stumbled onto what may be the most awesome soap ad ever. I am now struggling with my basic, uh, thriftiness, combined with my desire to support these guys! @mycluckhut.bsky.social

Watch out, New York, you don't want to become Georgia signed, Georgia resident

Calling a non-relative an aunt is a scandal But accepting bribes, flying on the Lolita express, and sexually assaulting women and children is "just the cost of doing business." ...

During non-midterm years, the House usually takes votes in October. They did even during the shutdown in 2013. But there have been no votes this year since the Friday before Grijalva became the 218th Epstein vote. www.pbump.net/o/remember-t...
