He got cuffed after playing the 'Imperial March' at National Guard. Now, he's suing.
Sam O'Hara said he has 'lots of respect' for the military but criticized its presence in cities, including Washington, DC.

@loreleiking.bsky.social Just finished listening to The Black Wolf by Louise Penny and heard your name in the credits. It was a great listen. Sadly the plot is too realistic. #BookSky 📕💙

A NEW ENDORSEMENT FROM A STRONG LEADER
I’m honored to earn the support of Rep. Maurice West, Assistant Majority Leader in the IL House. I’ve seen his conviction on issues from workforce development to mental health, always fighting for working families. Grateful to have him with us in #IL16!

Are you ready to make history, flip #IL16, and take back the House?
The incumbent sits on $6.5 mil of corporate cash & he's gearing up to crush the first serious challenge he’s faced before it even starts. But if we stand together, we won't let that happen.

@posaune76.bsky.social wooooah
Not to replace substance with message but I genuinely do not think that the GOP establishment is prepared, nor capable, of regulating itself in a world where all high profile democrats are directly staring into a camera and telling Trump to go fuck himself.

What a difference 24 hours & 1 year make! Yesterday my dad was intubated in ICU & I wasn't sure he'd survive -> Tonight he's awake, off the vent, we got to talk & I held his hand. Last year I was sick w/Covid, isolated in the basement & devastated by the election. Tonight there's #hope. #bluewave 🌊

I mention my great aunt Maggie, who has been covered in the press before - when she took the occasion of her 106th birthday to call out the Queen. As always, my auntie Patricia told her stories best, as in the tale of her son's trip to hospital when he was in his eighties.
![Old Mrs Dundas - your great grand aunt - died at 106. She had two sons, Sonny and somebody else and they never got married and they lived with her. She got up ever morning and she made them dunner and kept house and the two boys were fond of going down to the pub in Derrygonnelly and she had a terrible job minding them. But anyway, one of them had a prostrate thing and was in the hospital. He was 81 and this aul bitch of a nurse - hated Catholics with a vengeance - was saying to me, since I was a social worker - "you'd need to speak with someone, had a drink last night, came in from Lisnaskea", almost as if since I was a Catholic, I'd be able. So she rang Sheila and Joe [my parents] asking them to bring in his clothes, and they went in and chatted with him and he seemed grand. But when they go to pick him up, the nurse says he's raving. Sheila says "he seems fine to me" and the woman scoffed - "we asked him who he was going home to and he said his mother" and Sheila said, "well actually he is" Now Sheila wouldn't think that was funny, she just said "yes he is going to his mother, it's quite true", and the mother died at age 106. There was a photograph of her in the paper. At 106!](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:lss244cnzeoicm3p3nrg5ovh/bafkreif4b6irssliyom26yxhnxpunpfw2ajtm5whyh5ml7ieypj5tci2vy@jpeg)

CNN is reporting that @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social referred to a voter he was meeting as “my man” at a campaign event today, even though the 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution has made it illegal to own human beings since 1865 and remains the law in states including New York

Catherine Connolly, the independent socialist, is President-Elect. Yet again, Ireland bucks the trend of liberal democracies falling to far right nihilism. Here is who she is - Connolly supports the LGBTQ community & People with Disabilities, Carers & a United Ireland. #Aras25 #SpeirGhorm
