Giving this another share so I can pin to my profile. Searchable list of Starter Packs to follow your presences easily!

Mubashar “Mubs” Iqbal@mubashariqbal.com

Starter packs are genius, but I was surprised there wasn't a list of them for people to find. So I built it: blueskydirectory.com/starter-pack... The website monitors the packs being shared and adds the ones it finds to the database. Missed your stater pack? Message me and I'll get it added.

Gun Owners of America (GOA) making a statement too. Our minds are blown. Damn pardon our French but hell is freezing over. NRA and GOA calling for an investigation but not the government. Fuck.

Wow. Just…wow.

F you Dan Bishop But since you're an idiot, let me provide you with the definition of Insurrection: noun; a violent uprising against an authority or government. Thoughts and prayers to those who were injured yesterday 🖕🏽

We are not under invasion. There is no justification for suspending our constitutional rights. Every single American should speak out against this, loudly and forcefully.

Stephen Miller: "The writ of habeas corpus can be suspended in a time of invasion. So I would say that's an option we're actively looking at."

Freedom was the epitome of his name. A free soul, loving, a true hallmark of all the good that Golden Retrievers are known for. My confidante, my rock, complete and unconditional love. Gone so quickly. Hug your loved ones, love your pets.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.

Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

New: New wave of terminations today at FDA. People arrived this morning and found out while waiting in line to go through security that they no longer worked there. A common pattern with DOGE: planning to maximize humiliation/disrespect.

Oooh have a feeling this is going to be some strong ass tea!

George Takei@georgetakei.bsky.social

It’s well known that I was on The Apprentice. We were all covered by NDAs at the time, but mine has now expired. And do I ever have some tea to spill. I’ll post it later today after consulting once again with my attorneys.

Since January, SpaceX has received over $560 million in government contracts—an amount projected to surpass $2 billion in taxpayer funding by year’s end, averaging roughly $6.1 million per day. Follow the money and see where it goes.

This is the danger of memes. This right here. Not trying to stan for banks, obviously, and it's not like banking is easily *accessible* to everyone but lord almighty where the heck are people getting the idea that bank accounts are "expensive" So many free options. Plus credit unions!

Mark Cuban@mcuban.bsky.social

Young men don't open bank accounts. They are too expensive. They download coin base or Robinhood app and buy crypto. That's their savings If one party pushes that number higher. They vote for em. Gensler/Biden caused those savings to go down. The demo with the biggest change was young men

Shortly after senior Trump officials discussed the bombing of Yemen in a Signal group chat that just happened to include the Atlantic's editor in chief, a subset of the group feasted at a secret dinner featuring Trump where guests were asked to pay $1 million apiece to join.

Wyden: "I'm of the view that there ought to be resignations, starting with the national security adviser and the secretary of defense."
