Because @bsky.app allows us to post YouTube links I’d like to offer my first feature length documentary “Life in the Sacrifice Zone”. In the mood where you need to see a community of working class people stick it to “The Man”? This might be the hour and a half you need.

It's crazy that, as an extremism reporter, I'm sharing a story about federal aviation safety mainly for the purpose of counteracting disinformation put out by a U.S. president.

Clues From D.C. Plane Crash Suggest Multiple Failures in Aviation Safety
Clues emerging from the moments before an Army helicopter collided with a passenger jet suggest breakdowns in the system meant to help aircraft land safely at the busy Reagan National Airport.

we have a president with a tenuous grip on small legislative majorities who is out of the gate with a flurry of dramatically unpopular orders and who has just demonstrated his weakness on the international stage. if i were an elected member of his domestic opposition, i might try to draw real blood.

Please pay attention to this case being argued in the 4th Circuit tomorrow. It could determine whether the GOP succeeds in stealing a NC Supreme Court seat by disenfranchising 60,000 voters.

So let’s see, Trump has been President for a week and now we are fighting with Canada, Greenland, Mexico, Denmark, Panama, Colombia, and pretty much the entire EU.

It does seem that Viktor Orban and Netanyahu now likes us more though, so there’s that.

This is the stuff they feed the cult to keep them from noticing that the only reason why they wanted power was to stay out of prison, have immunity from prosecution, then use the levers of power to enrich themselves exponentially faster than any group of people in human history.

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

Trying to decide if this is funny for a sketch or not: two Jewish shepherds at the only Chinese restaurant in Bethlehem on the original Christmas.
To be clear, I shall be honoring the faith of my fathers on Christmas Eve and dining at a noted establishment in New York's Chinatown to mark the holiday. Judaism survives for nearly six millenia on the weight and power of accumulated tradition; trifling with this one would be shameful and reckless.

Wondering if there's much of a freelance market in ghostwriting manifestos, most of which seem to be either grossly overwritten or tersely underdeveloped and generally unprofessional. Given the political tenor of these times, it seems like it could be growing sector for the ink-stained among us.

Wonder how that 17 year old kid far from home, perched above a nuke would feel about MAGA capitulation to the Russian dictator and the appointment of a Russian asset to run our intelligence services. Almost glad he isn’t here to have his heart broken. 2/2

In 1963 my father was 17. He joined the Army to escape rural poverty in NC. He was sent to Red Stone arsenal to train then to a nuclear silo in Germany to serve with a missile unit there. He passed away in 2016. He died from a disease(ALS) that other men in his Army unit died from as well. 1/2

Tulsi Gabbard has all the red flags of a foreign intelligence asset. MAGA is all about the capitulation to power. They don’t believe in America and feel that we are weak. MAGA is perfectly happy selling our nation out to Putin.
Tammy Duckworth on Tulsi Gabbard: "I think she's compromised ... Russian controlled media called her a Russian asset."
