Both the U.S. marshal and the immigrant were shot by federal officers. You’d never know that from this headline.

House Speaker Mike Johnson tells reporters he was not aware he was House Speaker.

When shown proof, he said it looked like a.i. and then after shown again, said he didn't know if he was that Mike Johnson

I love this set in my collection showing that magic moment when a cat sees you and decides to come visit. ✨

Would any body be interested in an anthology of biographies pf lesser-known union activists (Communists, environmentalists, in'l solidarity, etc.) who were "canceled" for their politics? Anybody interested in writing a chapter?

Brainstorming a next project...🗃️

It's 4.27am. My sky is clear. I'm optimistically waiting for Comet A6 Lemmon to make a late early morning appearance. Probably around 6am. It's a bit of a tricky lark. 🔭 🧪

Raskin with Jeffries: "It's an alarming situation where now we have many of these January 6 defendants who have been picked up on other defenses. The Department of Justice is not zealously prosecuting them for other crimes they have committed ... it's a very dangerous situation."

Yes, if a news outlet reports that the president posted a video in which he shits on the American people — if they merely describe what he posted — that is the same as “propaganda for the left.”

Peter Jackson II @jaximperator.bsky.social · 23h

Wrong -- they're staying away from it, because of its offensive nature. Do NOT expect @cnn.com and @msnbc.com to become propaganda mouthpieces for the left, the way @foxnews.com.web.brid.gy is for the right.

Kevin M. Kruse @kevinmkruse.bsky.social · 1d

Media outlets who refuse to describe in plain terms what the president did because they find it objectionable are lying to their audiences and running cover for the president. It's as simple as that.

This is nuts. And we would like to know more about these "guided missile warheads."

Good reporting via @juddlegum.bsky.social / @popular.info

ICE’s spending on weaponry has soared more than 700 percent this year

The $71.5 million spent so far has paid for guns and armor, chemical munitions, “guided missile warheads," and "explosive components.”

I've decided to give my feet some air tonight and just letting the fan blow directly on them and the cat does not know what is going on she seems very stressed or worried.
