Renee Good's mom: "I am a registered Republican. I voted for President Trump under the impression that these agents were here to protect citizens -- innocents like our family and the others here. Certainly not to accuse those of us here of being terrorists and take precious lives. This is madness."

Dolly Parton was my President.

Who could have guessed that Jeanine Pirro's tenure as U.S. Attorney would be a farcical omnishambles?

This

Abolish ICE.

can’t believe a narcissist is being so publicly humiliated by a reflecting pool

Algae does a better job controlling contested waters than Trump does.

The Justice Department quietly deleted thousands of press releases about the Jan. 6 insurrection So Lawfare restored them: more than 5,700 pages recovered and publicly archived. @tylermcbrien.com, @michael-feinberg.bsky.social, and @benjaminwittes.lawfaremedia.org explain how.

He lost to Iran. Can he prevail over algae in the consolation round???

Versailles, the perfect place for total capitulation and unconditional surrender.

Former National Security Advisor John Bolton is reportedly about to plead guilty to a single count of mishandling classified information. Gabriel Schoenfeld clears the air and explains some of the ways Bolton may have leaked top secret information to a couple of different groups of people.

🚨Price increases — Coming this summer to a grocery store aisle, gas station, and airfare ticket near you! We’re running this video ad as part of Home of the Brave’s new Sticker Shock Summer campaign to show the public the real price tag of the Trump administration’s agenda.

Oh no!

Congratulations to everyone who said it would get this bad. Your prize is watching everyone who disagreed now claim no one could have predicted it would get this bad.

One of the things that makes me think we're not going to make it is seeing a regime that is super openly proudly wielding government power to punish and regulate speech and then seeing people say "well this wouldn't have happened if the government could punish and regulate speech more."

I was just taking a lovely walk on the beach, and I overheard seashells talking about me. They threatened to kill me! Crying as I type . . .

I wrote up the Comey indictment. www.popehat.com/p/the-comey-...

Nailed it.

Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia— AOC: Wah wah wah. We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no. What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over.

The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X. I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!). So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.

Great news: Renea Gamble has been cleared of all criminal charges for the costume she wore to a No Kings protest. You may remember that Renea was arrested in October after dressing up as a “dick-tator.” Renea’s message after her win in court: “As Alabamians, we dare to defend our rights.”

IT ABSOLUTELY THE FUCK IS NOT

Beat his ass, Dawn. No jury would convict

Team Dawn all day

Good Morning! KKK Karoline wanted this photo removed from Getty Images because it was unflattering. I will say it's hard to know who the turkey is. Wouldn't it be a shame if the altCDC and bluesky community reposted the hell out of it?

No fucking shit

Justice for Cricket It's crickets for Noem

Not sure replacing Noem with Markwayne Gary Wayne is an improvement...a different brand of stupid?

For a man who won the inaugural FIFA Peace Prize, Trump does a lot of war.

Signed up for Claude, the Woke AI!

Yes, it is not fair that thousands of Ukrainians are losing their lives in this deadly war that the Russians started and continue every day for four years. It would be cool if they fucked off back to Russia. They would instantly stop dying after that too.

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

"I'm coming to Boston and I'm bringing hell with me." --Homan in February "Do I expect violence to escalate? Absolutely." -- Tom Homan in March "I actually thought about getting up and throwing that man a beating right there in the middle of the room" -- Homan in July, referring to a D congressman

Used to watch CBS news every morning. Stopped watching permanently when Paramount paid its settlement bribe to Trump. Best decision ever

Any less is complicity.

Klobuchar: "There have been three killings since the beginning of the year, and two have been committed by federal agents"

Say their names.

Here's @kare11.bsky.social report: www.kare11.com/article/news...

Boost this.

Hear, hear.

The Legacy Museum, which is “perhaps the closest thing America has to a national slavery museum,” is free from government control and displays the “history that the Trump administration aims to de-emphasize—if not outright erase,” @clintsmithiii.bsky.social argues.

Let us all stand with Chairman Powell.

Just a general reminder that your experience on any social media app depends a lot on what *you* make of it. It is easy to find some annoying people on any platform. But platforms like Bluesky also give *you* way more power to control your own experience and to fix whatever annoys you.

That’s a funny note to end the episode on

Susie Wiles apparently went to the Anthony Scaramucci School of Talking to Reporters.

NEW VIDEO: We uncovered footage showing Pete Hegseth in 2016 saying the military won’t follow unlawful orders — the same point he has recently criticized Democrats, including Sen. Mark Kelly, for making - and which Trump has said is punishable by death.
