Good morning Bluesky,

It’s Friday and I want all of you to do something nice for yourself this weekend.

Doesn’t matter how small the thing is.

Also, say something nice to a stranger.

The smallest glimmer of light in times of darkness can be the difference between life & death for someone.

🤍

Workplace raids have begun—none of these people were rapists or criminals.

Even if you’re not a US citizen, you still have due process in this country. 3 workers in Newark were taken into custody by ICE w/out a warrant. One, a veteran, endured the humiliation of having his military docs questioned.

Trump is so blinded by hatred for California that he’s considering eliminating an agency that overwhelmingly helps red states.

Trump just revoked the Equal Employment Opportunity executive order of 1965, rolling back 60 years of progress on civil rights.

The order had prohibited employment discrimination in federal hiring based on race, religion, and gender.
Trump rolls back bedrock 1960s-era civil rights measure
The move abolishes decades of government practices on diversity and equal opportunity.

I don't think we can share the side-by-side of Elon Musk doing the Nazi salute next to Nazis doing the Nazi salute enough.

The guy who sells $60 Bibles with his name on them thinks having mercy on children is bringing “church into the world of politics.”
Trump is now viciously attacking the bishop who asked him to have mercy on immigrants and LGBTQ people, suggesting she is not a real bishop and demanding she apologize.

Donald Trump on FEMA:

"FEMA is going to be a whole big discussion very shortly, because I'd rather see the states take care of their own problems."

Texas, Florida, and Louisiana have been among the largest recipients of FEMA direct assistance since 2015.

Have fun with that.

It says a lot that trump spoke more harshly about a woman of the church, Bishop Mariann Budde, who asked him kindly to "have mercy," than he has EVER spoken about a murderous dictator like Vladimir Putin.

Fucking coward.

There's 3 seconds left on the clock. You're down by one point. Who do you give the basketball to?

Lebron James? Steph Curry?

Nope. You put it in the hands of 8th Grader Cooper Thorson.

He just hit the shot of a lifetime.

She said, “May I ask you to have mercy Mr. President on those in our communities whose children fear that their parents will be taken away." If Mike Johnson thinks that’s “radical,” perhaps he has a fundamental misunderstanding of his own religion.

Trump used to call cryptocurrency a scam.

Now he’s a crypto kingpin, raking in billions. The real scam was the hustle all along.
