@pamthur.bsky.social. Sadly, Pierre Robert has left us, but WMMR seems to have reached Berkeley.

Ice agents are basically the droogs at the end of A Clockwork Orange, criminals and sociopaths who otherwise would be on probation, now given badges and guns.

Berkeley reaffirms the power of a lot of people not knowing what the chant is and not singing it at the same time : )

At this point, no one could blame Canadians for launching a preemptive attack.

Trump made his political entrance on an escalator. Clearly, escalators are trying to offer some kind of apology.

Think how great this will look when it's republished by the Department of War.

We are absolutely losing an incredible amount of institutional knowledge and leadership. The current acting administrator of NASA is executing huge reductions with no plan or interest in maintaining space sciences in the United States
ALL CAPS

THIS IS CATASTROPHIC FOR SPACE SCIENCE AND ASTROPHYSICS ...

GLOBALLY CATASTROPHIC, NOT JUST FOR AMERICANS 🔭🧪

All Springsteen needs to do is seek discovery of Trump's taxes, college records, NDAs and the full Epstein files.

Jacinda spoke primarily about empathy in politics and is a visiting fellow at Harvard, so I was surprised the Ice gestapo didn't try to kidnap her from the podium.

This administration is like a protracted wake, except half the mourners will also die in the middle of the service.

Emblematic of 95% of US media now. When Trump cancels the midterms, the NYT will declare it an unconventional approach to elections.

First Pam Bondi gives guns back to racist domestic abuser Mel Gibson. Now Trump is importing racist white Afrikaners. This administration's public policy is the script from Lethal Weapon Bizarro World.
