This is where I scream into the void. Urbanization, bicyclist, environmentalist. Fighting liberal. Everyone deserves to exist without oppression or the denial of their humanity. The US Supreme Court is corrupt. Trump is a traitor. He/Him.

Fantastic. Thank you @reptedlieu.bsky.social for this capturing of Bondi lying under oath. She has now committed a criminal act on the official record. She will not resign because she is a criminal protecting a criminal. She will be held accountable. She WILL go to Jail.
1-1 Pedo protector evil Pam Bondi, the former Florida AG turned federal Attorney General, just got caught lying under oath — on LIVE TV.
Ted Lieu confronted her in real time, exposing the cover-up, and demanded her resignation. This isn’t politics as usual — it’s a federal crime if proven true.

Republicans are the opposite of pro-life. They're pro-death and murder.
Probably won't come up at today's hearing, but it should:
Bondi shattering norms by reversing dozens of Biden-era DOJ decisions not to seek the death penalty. The reversals jeopardize the due process rights of defendants, and are angering federal district court judges.

Concentration of jobs growth in health care is even more stark post-revisions.
In 2025, payrolls grew 181,000 while health care & social assistance payrolls grew 693,200, implying all other industries lost 512,200 jobs.
Jan 2026 is continuing that trend: HCSA (+123,500) vs. all other (+6,500)

And, if we didn't have the corrupt Republicans on the Supreme Court, this would violate the emoluments clause of the constitution.

There is less tear gas at places like Lake and Lyndale, so it’s not making news.
