Rights (for EVERYONE), Parks (National & Disney), NY (Western & Finger Lakes) 🇺🇸💙Blue through & through. Books are the answer.
We are not talking about this enough.
I do not want to make everyone feel worse, but... April 20 is approaching, and on that day Trump will receive a fake report from his leading sycophants on whether he should invoke the Insurrection Act (a fast-track to martial law) over his fake immigration crisis. If it says yes... well, buckle up.
Is Trump preparing to invoke the Insurrection Act? Signs are pointing that way
A joint Department of Defense and Homeland Security report will soon recommend whether or not to invoke the Insurrection Act over illegal migration.

So why were they using Signal to communicate when there are appropriate means of communication (SCIFs)?
- They've been trained to not use official comms channels to avoid making records that could be scrutinized later (it's part of the Project 2025 playbook)

😭 @altnps.bsky.social YOU are amazing.
We want to take a moment to express how proud we are of you, America. You have stood up and spoken out every step of the way—especially when Congress and the media remained silent. When we called for help, you answered.

Convo with my friend from Hungary tonight who left after Orban’s election.
She said “your head will spin with all the wild stuff they try to pull, new things every day, but don’t take your eyes off the money. It’s all about the money, and what they’re stealing, and for whom.”

The deep goal of bluesky is to decentralize the social internet so that every individual controls their experience of it rather than having it be controlled by 5 random billionaires. Everyone thinks they signed up for a demuskified twitter...we actually signed an exciting and bizarre experiment.

YES! This is one of my greatest simple pleasures.
I love being under the covers, and hearing the automatic coffeemaker start brewing… and then smelling the coffee fill the house. Making a great argument to get up. I mean you probably have a lot of reasons to get up… But this becomes the base reason, the foundation for other reasons to build upon.
