Father husband engineer and gamer. Oh what a life!
@travisbaldree.bsky.social loved the idea you ran with for B&B. Again five stars for the creative use of shitweasel and building out this giant world piece wise. It offers chances for characters to reconnect in unexpected places. Maybe Mayley will get a prequel or Tandri will get an origin story. 🩷❤️

It’s made worse by Bluesky banning journalists for very small offenses
if you’re a journalist who wants to talk about how embarrassing this week has been for our profession (the michael wolff, landon thomas jr, nuzzi/bernstein of it all) message me on signal

@support.bsky.team unacceptable malicious heavy handed application of the rules to silence an investigative journalist
@support.bsky.team this is existential. If you disappear journalists like Sarah Kendzior you better have cause and you better show it. This isn’t a “trust us” kind of situation.

Bluesky suspended Sarah Kendzior today for no reason whatsoever. She just shared excerpts of her articles, which were as always incisive and not offensive at all. Hey @pfrazee.com this is super not OK. I know her- we've interacted a fair bit via chats and her work is essential.

Without people of color, Spanberger, Shirrill, Mamdani and others wouldn't win with their huge margins.

Just look at the cross tabs.

It was "the woke" who got it done.

Majority of white voters didnt go for them.

Mamdani: "We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him."

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.

They’ve had their necks kneeled on.

They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.
More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.
The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

If given the chance, I'd lose my legs all over again to serve in our great military.

The leader of your party is a five-time draft dodger who has fired more Veterans than any other president in our history.

Square that circle then tell me who really hates our military.

"Trump will fail if people and institutions coordinate against him, which is why his administration is targeting businesses, nonprofits and civil society, proposing corrupting bargains to those who acquiesce and punishing holdouts to terrify the rest into submission."

If you don't have hit pieces from 2016, 2017 targeting you for warning about Trump then no, you were not early.
People wasted a lot of time in Trump’s first term debating whether or not he wanted to be a dictator and publishing hit pieces against those of us who rang the alarm.

Spread this around. Missouri and Ohio Democrats need at least 100,000 valid signatures to take on Republican gerrymandering maps. This is the fight 🔥
MO & OH Dems need us to help Rally support!

A commissioned poll shows nearly 1/2 of MO voters oppose the maps

The Dem committee needs over 100,000 valid signatures across multiple congressional districts before the state’s 90-day window expires on Dec. 11 to let voters decide on the maps.
Missouri Democrats have an opportunity to block a new congressional map. They say they’re largely on their own.
Despite relatively little investment from Washington, Missouri and Ohio Democrats are looking to block new Republican-drawn maps through uncertain avenues.

District courts should ignore the shadow docket instead of div8ning precedent in these cases. Quote Barrett every time.
Amy Coney Barrett defends heavy use of the shadow docket: "If we wrote a long opinion, it might give the impression that we have finally resolved the issue, and in none of these cases have we finally resolved the issue."

If any of these violent thugs are LLEO there needs to be accountability for the local government
#AlexAlott was charged with allegedly assaulting a federal officer with an umbrella. Yesterday, she was exonerated because VIDEO disproved the accusation. But Daniel, who attended the trial to support her, was detained the same day that the trial finished.

THIS IS FASCISM. FILM EVERYTHING.
