I would like all social media to ask me first before refreshing the page. Bluesky included. I was reading that, thanks for disappearing it before I could at least read who posted it.

WOW. Kristi Noem and Elon Musk, among others, "chose to turn the power of the federal government against a singular employee with an impeccable record of public service. ... The attacks against Ms. Comans were based entirely on false information" and many officials "knew [they] were untrue."

UNEARTHED: Ken Paxton caught on video partying with fugitives in Dubai. The fugitives were charged with healthcare fraud and helped bankroll Paxton’s campaign.

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

My oldest daughter, who is also an attorney, has said these things to me as well. When your life is built around the law, all of these blatant criminal acts must be even more frustrating.

What a lie. Some of these people are being imprisoned indefinitely in squalid condition in African prisons. Others report being beaten and arbitrarily deported in violation of international law back to their home countries, where they face persecution or torture.

Blanche on the Trump administration deporting people to third countries where they have no connection: "This idea that we're violating human rights and the president and US is doing something to damage and put these people in harm's way is just categorically false"

John Oliver lists off just some of Ken Paxton’s scandals: “Paxton spent nearly 9 years under indictment for securities fraud... He was also accused of bribery and abuse of office by eight of his own top deputies... But wait, because I'm still not done.”

We’re with Michael Steele on this! “…tear it all down — every last inch of it. Every last bit. If his name is on it, take it off. If he built it, tear it down.”

When 3M scientist Kris Hansen discovered that a chemical the company produced was in the blood of the general public, her bosses questioned her work. Yet all along, some people inside the company had known the same thing. Listen to this excerpt:

My unpopular opinion. I love video games but you can keep your error-filled discs away from the future of gaming. If companies say they’re moving forward then so am I. They do amazing work and I trust them to preserve programmers’ past work in the manner they see fit. /

Maybe it’s just me growing up w/ old record players, BetaMax etc and one day, *blip* they’re gone w/their players too. Money spent, gone. But if you go back to listen/watch those, the quality was cringe. So I respect a company to control quality and just pray they listen to fans to retro-remaster.

I honestly feel more and more people are turning into NPCs in rl. The handful of non-bot trump supporters left are all conditioned to react in only one way: haha he doesn’t mean that, he’s just making a joke, its so funny he triggered you, haha none of it is real. These people hold real jobs.

ICE just arrested a 5-year-old on his way to a soccer game in Austin. His name is Liam, just like the little boy from Minnesota. He should be in kindergarten this week. Instead he's in a trailer prison in the desert. Release Liam. Release these kids. Close the Dilley children’s prison.

Ken Paxton’s office helped bury records involving hundreds of lab animals, including at least 100 dogs subjected to painful testing. Now, Meidas News has obtained disturbing photos and video of what he fought to keep hidden.

Good morning. Just a friendly reminder that Ghislaine Maxwell is currently protected, enjoying pampering and puppy time while America's service members are forced to drink diseased water, eat rotten meat, and huff air infested by mold. She does yoga while they choose drowning.

This is crazy. Alex is from Brazil, why would they deport him to Guyana? He’s a longtime West Hollywood resident who has been following his immigration requirements. He wasn’t hiding. He wasn’t on the run. He showed up for his required ICE check-in. And that’s where they detained him.

🚨EXCLUSIVE: Military families and service members are now describing horrific conditions across MULTIPLE ships: human waste flooding bathrooms, virtually no food, water or soap, months without port calls, exhausted crews, and no end in sight. This crisis is far bigger than just the Lincoln.

The reports coming out about conditions aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln are beyond unacceptable. I am keeping the sailors and their families in my thoughts. I'm a 21-year combat veteran. Making sure our service members are treated with dignity and respect is non-negotiable.

Why just as a distraction to what? Epstein files? A failed, unnecessary war in Iran? A ship with sailors literally jumping overboard because you aren’t feeding them? What now?
