Schiff: Why is this firing of FBI agents such an important piece of this whole effort by Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and their enablers? Because .. if they're going to raid the treasury... They don't want an FBI that's going to examine anything they're doing.

Let it be so
All I want for Christmas is for Twitter to keep bleeding away millions of users every day to Bluesky until Twitter is nothing more than a bigger, emptier, Truth Social shithole.

Manifest THAT. 🙏🎁

I plan on keeping my annual Thanksgiving tradition of rewatching every Thanksgiving episode of Friends and quoting most of the lines.

“Could I BE wearing any more clothing?”

Quick note: It’s not radical to want our public services to work properly, or for children to have enough to eat and a warm home.

NEW: Porsha Ngumezi is the fifth case we've reported on in which a woman died after not receiving a D&C or its second-trimester equivalent in time, or at all.

Her case raises questions about how abortion bans are pressuring doctors to avoid standard care even in straightforward miscarriages.

Yeaaaah, I had a real problem with this when I learned about the Laws of War (Did you know there are rules? There are) and how many the U.S. blithely ignores, but demands other countries follow. That W torture debacle? Read the Pentagon’s report. NO actionable intel was gained. None.
🎶🎶 there’s a reason the US never signed the conventions on antipersonnel mines and cluster munitions, and it’s because we had to give a hoot about things like fighting a land war with the Norks (with South Korea) and the Russians 🎵

Should have given all this stuff to Ukraine in March 2022

This election has made me so extremely disappointed in America like I was in 2004 after we re-elected W, but so much worse.

I’ve studied history. I know how this story ends. I wish more people understood the ramifications of their vote and what it will mean for all of us.

This is Bay-Bat already in the tree. I put up my tree the weekend after the election because I needed joy and I needed music to drown out the news. Enjoy Bay-Bay’s antics. I do.

She said it so much better than I said it to my daughter.
As folks transition over and set up in this new space — I thought I’d share the text I sent my first-time voter daughter the morning following the Presidential election:

We’re witnessing historiography right here. The telling of history, the reframing of what’s acceptable, what’s normalized. This is how lies erode democracy.
Destroying the concept of expertise - of preparation, of qualification, of distinction - has been necessary to Trump’s rise, and to his “smash and grab”plans for our country.

Trump’s own incompetence & compromised ethics & morality invite many people to feel comfortable with a world w/o rules.
Matt Gaetz is not qualified to be AG. Full stop.

The FOP is not organized Labor. They are the state, defend the status quo and capital to the detriment of actual union workers.

Nobody ever says F the firefighters, teachers, or nurses, but they sure do say F the police.

Bluesky is like a cross between early Twitter and young Facebook-basically the Internet before it sucked because of troll farms. I could not be more delighted to join a better corner of the Interwebs. Dare I say it! I’m tickled pink!
