Wait, I thought Heard Island had no human population. They drive Toyotas there?! My world is completely rocked.

Heard Island Government@heardislandgov.bsky.social

We do not condone international attacks on police vehicles or hoods. The poor officers already have to drive around a Toyota; this is all the more demeaning. This elephant seal has been sternly lectured and released back to Heard Island custody

Honestly, shouldn't it be worse than this? DOGE will actually result in increased federal spending. UFB! Product shortages are coming due to the tariffs, tourism losses estimated at 90B. I hope folks finally realize what an absolute joke this is . Great, no one will want to come here.

Shocking...not. "DOGE is not a serious exercise," said Jessica Riedl, a fellow at the Manhattan Inst, a fiscally cons think tank that supports streamlining gvmt. She estimates DOGE has only saved $5B to date, and believes it will end up costing more than it saves. www.reuters.com/world/us/100...

Trump is cozying up to a foreign dictator who jailed 50,000+ under martial law in El Salvador — no charges needed. Now Trump wants that same power in the U.S. Democrats are banned from visiting the CECOT mega-prison. Republicans? Welcomed in.

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

We often look back on the seminal moments in our history and wonder "What would I have done?" This is our moment. This is our time. We must stand up. We must speak out. We must do everything we can to stop a President who has every intention of destroying our democracy.
