The Steady State @steadystatevets.bsky.social · 3h

Religious liberty in the U.S. is supposed to apply to everyone, not just those the president approves of. ICE saying “no” to clergy is the executive deciding who gets rights — and that’s the road to tyranny.

BREAKING: After ICE refuses to allow detained migrants to receive the Eucharist, Pope Leo calls on Trump and Vance to respect migrants‘ dignity and religious liberty.

“They must allow ministers to assist with their needs. They've been separated from their families and no one knows what happens.”

I have heard that he's more of a moderate "progressive" conservative. Poilievre is alienating those members. It's kind of like the Republicans who aren't MAGA who were driven from their party.

I thought the time would change automatically on the digital clock in my new car. It’s going to take a year for me to learn all of the controls.

Bernie Sanders:
“We have the moral responsibility to stand up & fight for the 15 million people who are about to lose health care. What the polling tells me, & what I believe to be true, is that the vast majority of the American people are behind us not to give in to Trump or the Republicans.”

Cheney is a main reason we're in Canada now.

Dick Cheney was a main reason we immigrated to Canada.

Yes, I feel the same. In the past, I would have objected to increased military spending, but I know that we need to bolster ourselves against threats to our sovereignty.

OK this is pretty good.

The German company that built the forklift used in the Louvre robbery turned a photo of the heist into advertising: “When things need to be done quickly.” 👌🏻

Cuomo treated teachers like they were slackers. He jammed through legislation for teacher evaluations, based in large part on hastily-developed, unreliable tests. Pension/retirement rules changed for the worse. Subsequently, there is still a NY teacher shortage.

Best wishes to you!! Thanks for your positive campaign. I hope that the haters don't win.

I had heard that this was in the works. It's a sad loss for us all.

Emmogene 🇨🇦 🇺🇸 @emmogene.bsky.social · 1d

I feel this loss very deeply. Teen Vogue was geared toward teens who are gaining awareness of themselves and the world. Especially in light of other media outlets caving to kiss the ring, I saw Teen Vogue as a beacon of honesty and relevance.

During his sham confirmation hearing, we saw and heard lots of evidence that Kavanaugh did not have the temperament to serve on the highest court.

It's everywhere. Look at how the Halloween candy bars shrunk into little pieces.

You're spot on. Corporations hid behind post-Covid inflation to continue to raise prices and shrink amounts. Opposition and consumers blamed it on the leaders: Bidenflation, Justinflation.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Democrats and Independents, if you don’t show up for your candidate, you’re helping their opponent.

We don’t want Tuesday’s story to be, “They were polling far ahead but lost because their most enthusiastic voters didn’t get their ballots in.”

We’ve seen this play out before.

I don’t love everything that Carney is doing, but he does have a strategy to keep the economy from collapsing, while building up future economic strength. PP will just “axe the tax,” while favouring oil and gas industry development.
