I love the pivot from “violent dangerous scary antifa anarchist!” to “haha they’re all olds.”

Y’all here is a fun fact: Portland has a brand new volunteer organization called “operation inflation” that allows people to borrow inflatable costumes for protests. They just started a couple weeks ago and have like a 160 costume library (and counting because people keep donating).

Too many frogs out there. I need something more distinctive.

Burmese python. Triceratops. Squid maybe.

What a day! And now, time for us to kick back and figure out how to spend all that sweet cash from George Soros.

What are you going to do with yours?

Capital of deep red South Carolina. Mike Johnson and his party say these folks are Marxists, Hamas supporters and people who hate America.

I call BS.

Sign to save your school.

The federal government is trying to extort your school by coercing American universities into joining its so-called "Compact”. This is a time for courage, not capitulation. Sign this alumni petition now to tell your school to reject the "Compact" and stand up for campus freedom.

Oops not an illegal immigrant. A good old White boy. Ryan J. Rampton, 58, was charged last week with two counts of aggravated sexual abuse of a child and one charge of sodomy on a child. All three are first-degree felonies.

I'll bet Mr. Speaker "checked" on that freedom of speech issue by memorizing his daily talking points memo from Stephen Miller.

Jack Kuenzie @jkuenzie.bsky.social · 1d

Again, the self-serving swindler, sexual assaulter and convicted felon chooses solidarity with his own kind. Nothing he says about fighting crime here or outside the US has a particle of legitimacy.

“When he is out of custody, Mr. Santos will have served fewer than three months of an 87-month sentence.”

I think at this point it’s fair to say that we’re no longer under the rule of law.

You don't need a law degree to see this agency ignoring probable cause and due process.

It's sad but maybe predictable a member of SCOTUS preemptively provided cover for the adminstration. Why can't the court recalibrate when conditions change?

The reality of Kavanaugh stops: American citizens dragged, tackled, beaten, tased, and shot by immigration agents. Citizens held in the rain while in their underwear. A pregnant citizen's door blown off while Kristi Noem watched. Important story by @nicolefoy.bsky.social of @propublica.org

Supt. of Ed. said this is the largest reduction of students (5000) in 4 decades. 3000 are not returning to public school. They are attending private or being home schooled. He says the others about 2100 are just missing. They didn’t transfer, go to private school, just disappeared. This is so sad.

‘They’re just gone’: Alabama enrollment decline could cost hundreds of teachers their jobs

If the enrollment numbers hold, as many as 500 teachers could lose their jobs because teacher positions are tied directly to student enrollment, Mackey warned.

Remember the first few months of this year, when all we talked about was DOGE and spending cuts and waste, and this administration gutted USAID?

And now they’re giving $40 billion (!) to Argentina.

Insane the amount of amnesia in this country and in our politics and media.

JFC! What will it take?

I can’t believe Trump just promised Argentina another $20 billion, bringing the total to $40 billion.

American farmers better be paying attention and rethink their unwavering support for the man.
