Somehow I don't think there are a huge number of members of the military here on Bluesky, but those that are could you remind your comrades in arms that bombing civilian infrastructure is a war crimes? You took an oath and have been reminded now act: #girightshotline.com

Leaked audio of Mike Rogers calling on Republicans to use off-duty police officers to intimidate voters in Detroit in an attempt to manipulate the Michigan Senate race:

No corporation is gonna silence our message! ❌👑 Keep helping us amplify #NoKings today so we can drive HISTORIC early vote turnout, and overcome Trump’s election sabotage.

Fresh mangos used to be 5 for $5. Now: $2 EA. and that on sale from $2.49. And just so we're clear that there is no advantage to buying multiples, the ad notes: 2 for $4.00, just in case we couldn't make that simple calculation through our incredulity.

/2 ...have, apparently ignored Guido, at least Al Jezeera and local news are covering him. I'm not on X anymore, but he reportedly posted that he will come down today (Monday). Way to go Guido

I definitely have to widen my news sources... Guido Reichstadter has been sitting atop an arch of the Frederick Douglass Bridge in DC since Friday protesting the 🍊💩 and his illegal war in Iran. Haven't seen anything on here as he is reportedly posting on X and news outlets, except the Post and NYT/1

Shouting into the void? Can someone comment on this?

Ok, all the ill-fitting suits, most especially the 🍊💩, are so deserving of whatever animus we can throw at them, but what about the military? What about the top brass that should know their oath about not obeying illegal orders? Why aren't we excoriating them?

In DC there are all kinds of police but mostly what I see in my 'hood are MPD, Metro Police and US Capitol Police. Lately, been seeing other police cars with decals I didn't recognize. Tonight saw one close enough to read: Federal Protective Service, ie, DHS. Not a good sign.

Merry Christmas, Blueskyers. My gift to you, a joyous sunrise. (In reality, it's overcast and threatening rain here.) Eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we resume the resistance.

3:00am and hitting the ice cream. Images of the WH being destroyed keeping me awake. He, and his thoroughly corrupt and morally and ethically challenged cronies, need to be stopped now. But how? Somehow, I don't think ice cream is the answer.

Note to Dems: when we're back in power include, AND ENFORCE, serious price gouging penalties for retailers that keep prices high as part and parcel of economic repair and reform.
