A US citizen hoping we can stop the fascists and pre-obedience cowards from turning the US into Putin's Russia.

People don’t understand why I keep noting that BlueSky is not a bubble, it is a counterpublic. It serves its own organizational function: you can see in realtime in January 2025, on multiple types of social media, shouting that an executive order is instruction to an agency. This one stuck.
I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.
Think about who you vote for. It matters. Stop getting fooled.

It's not surprising that shit like this is cropping up. Everyone should expect this from Republicans.

Conditions are so horrific that many of them prefer to die. The for-profit prison companies want to keep their government handouts flowing though so they will force feed them with feeding tubes, which is yet another form of torture.

These fucking criminals know they are committing crimes. Republicans know exactly what's going on and side with the criminals because they are criminals too or they are blackmailed or threatened or just chicken shit. That's why it's up to the people to vote these bastards out. It's imperative.

Also, again. To those who think a coup attempt is unlikely. You see the pattern of escalation here, yes?
BREAKING: The Trump DOJ just sent letters to local election officials across California — every county in the state — demanding they identify potential noncitizens on their voter rolls and set aside their ballots. Local officials would "risk significant federal scrutiny" if they failed to comply.

A reminder also that this office has no U.S. Attorney, and the guy running the office — as first assistant — was ruled to have improperly served too long as the appointed U.S. Attorney.
NEW, NYT: More action from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Middle District of California that is not based in law and runs counter to DOJ policy. DOJ is threatening local elections officials in CA after DOJ did not get what they wanted from their BS lawsuit. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

The Justice Department's last-second letters about noncitizen voting contain people with no history of voting whatsoever, and they're moving so fast they sloppily sent one county the wrong list of names.

Why is Trump letting Russia slowly take over things in Alaska? Oh, right. Trump works for Putin.
JUST POSTED: A Russian energy giant has secretly moved to acquire a position in a massive Alaska gas project. Its part of talks between Witkoff/Kushner & Putin. But CEO of US company resigns after learning of Russian money in the project. A wowzer of a story. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...
