I'm new to Bluesky as of 26 August 25.
I like old tymes and natural thynges.
That's my mom's old green stuff jello mold recipe and a 1790s New England canal remnant that lost most of itself to the river.

And keep in mind that “criminal history” could be a 15-year-old DUI, which is what they used to deport a popular local restaurant owner with two American children in my town during Trump I. He employed 6 people and nothing has opened up in that space since.
DEVELOPING: The DOJs own data, provided as part of an ongoing lawsuit, appeared to show only about 2.5% of 614 people arrested by ICE on immigration violations in the Chicago area before Oct. 7 had criminal histories

Only 2.5% on list of 614 ‘Operation Midway Blitz’ arrestees had criminal histories, DOJ records show
Meanwhile, the other 598 people on the list had no listed criminal history at all.

The White House Is Being Destroyed Because Corruption Doesn’t Matter Anymore
The demolition of the East Wing is a symbol of a system that long ago stopped caring about the kind of blatant graft that Trump loves.

We have sworn declarations from USIP's president, security chief, chief of staff, director of comms and two members of outside counsel who were all present the day of the raid and support our bid for MPD to release the body cam footage. They agree Americans deserve to know what happened that day.
Former USIP security chief says MPD gave 'high-fives and fist bumps' after raid

Parties are shells that are continuously remade. Compare Ds/Rs in 1868, 1904, 1932, 1972, & today on class, race, gender, immigration, & religion.

Most of us want more parties, but that isn’t* viable w/o proportional representation.

Since 1972, all nominees are directly chosen by voters. Do that.

If they wanted us to be engaged, active citizens, they would provide civic education which has not existed in the USA since the 1960s. Literally, RIGHT after the Civil Rights Act & Voting Rights Act were passed, civic education disappeared. This was NOT by accident. It was by DESIGN.

"We civil servants organized to help our colleagues face the hardship of the shutdown, we put up with the pain and our only request was to not be betrayed like this. Trade our pain, make it count."

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work."

The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting.

And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

Thinking about the terrible deal Schumer and Senate Dems are about to do with Trump. If they can’t stand up now when the Constitution is in tatters, seniors and kids are hungry and industries are on the brink of disaster, when will they? Where’s the fight?

Tens of thousands of Maine people are facing skyrocketing health care costs because of Donald Trump and Susan Collins.

Maine people deserve affordable health care — not just the promise of a vote that won’t go anywhere.

Fight back.

One clear lesson from the outrage at the Eight Enablers in the Senate: normie Democrats online want Democrats to fight too, not just the left. The fight/not-fight dichotomy isn't so much an ideological one as a difference in views of what it means to be a party, including a legislative one.
