Imagine the protest signs women will be carrying.
It would be terrible if the tables were turned and “Piggy” became the president’s new nickname, all day, all the time, all across the US.

Chose your platforms wisely.
“The FBI gained access to conversations in a ‘courtwatch’ Signal group that helps coordinate volunteer activists who monitor public proceedings at three New York federal immigration courts. The US government has repeatedly been accused of violating immigrants’ due process rights at those courts.”

Protest works, but people shouldn't have to protest the obvious. Is every branch and agency under this regime tasked with testing We the People?

Behind this important reversal is a member of the Coast Guard who saw what was happening and had the courage to leak it to the press. That person deserves serious praise.

Trump has reportedly been in conversation with Paramount and his billionaire ally Larry Ellison about a potential takeover of CNN that would include firing journalists he dislikes.

Billionaire control of the media is a danger to us all.

It's a brave, new world of reality.
If you're trying to convince your friends to spend time on Bluesky rather than X, maybe show them this. X is not "the public town square" or about "free speech." It's "just what Elon Musk wants you to see." If you see stuff he doesn't like he'll step in to make sure you don't see it for long.
If you scroll on X, you are only being shown what Elon wants you to see. If you create content on X, no one will see it unless Elon wants them to.

Seditious behavior punishable? Was J6 not seditious behavior?
🤬Trump needs to be impeached, removed from office, and locked up in The Hague!
This is not the first time he utters vile verbiage, and it won’t be the last!
Lock him up! 🤬

Facts matter. Kari Lake and Tucker Carlson are Orban fans.
Kari Lake was a guest of Orban in 2023, and Tucker Carlson’s father Richard who just passed away this spring and was a lobbyist for Orban for years, ran the VOA under Reagan in the Eighties.

Leavitt Listening? Not n this case.
REPORTER: “Trump accused the other side of encouraging political violence. Isn't that what he is doing?”

LEAVITT: “Why aren't you talking about what members of congress are doing telling the military not to follow lawful orders?”

REPORTER: “Actually, they said ILLEGAL orders.”

As with other programs, this Administration opens the curtain and openly displays how American government operates under their leadership.
To quote the person who filmed this unconscious mom who was tazed while already in zip ties in front of her small child and then tossed her like a corpse into the trunk: “this is fucked up”

Our President may build ballrooms, patios and arches, but that is not what he'll be remembered for in history books.
In normaler times, this is front page, above the fold, all caps behavior by an American president
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

No problem here removing illegal violent criminals in these sweeps. Obviously that is not what these quota driven sweeps sweeps are about. Let's start calling this what it is-state sponsored terrorism.
My lack of surprise from another US city haunted by this administration doesn’t make the wretchedness of what’s going on in Charlotte any more palatable. As a teacher in South Carolina who counts some incredible Latinos as her students, I'm terrified for what their families are enduring.

If ICE agents can’t operate without masks and no IDs, maybe the problem isn’t California, it’s whatever you’re trying to hide.

📌 The Trump administration is suing California over its new laws banning ICE from hiding behind masks and forcing them to show IDs while they run operations in the state.
