You can easily say that descendants of Italian, Irish and Jewish immigrants to America today face radically less levels of systemic discrimination than their ancestors did in the 1800’s without being like “and actually that discrimination never even existed”. Erasing that history is genuinely insane

Introvert Problems @introvertproblems.bsky.social · 48m

Introverts aren’t shy, they just have high social standards. They love deep talks that actually mean something, not small talk about the weather. That kind of stuff wears them out fast. They’ll find one or two people who get them, share the parts they usually keep hidden, and that’s all they need

Eight years ago today on Friday, October 13, 2017 I felt a lump in my left breast. Found it myself by self breast exam. That lump ended up being part of a breast cancer diagnosis 2 weeks later for which I'm still in treatment. Know your body. Do self breast exams. 🙏🏾

Know your breasts

All women should be aware of what is normal for their breasts even if they get regular screening tests.

NEW: Counsel for James Comey confirms that his defense team plans to file a motion challenging the lawfulness of Lindsey Halligan’s appointment as interim U.S. Attorney.

Motion will be heard and decided by an out-of-district judge.

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA
Alexandria Division
United States of America
v.
James Comey
Defendant.
Case No. 1:25CR272-MSN
NOTICE OF INTENT TO FILE MOTION ON UNLAWFUL APPOINTMENT
Please take notice that on October 20, 2025, James Comey, by counsel, will
file his motion to dismiss challenging the lawfulness of the appointment of the
United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia. See, e.g., United States
v. Garcia, Crim No. 2:25-CR-00230-DGC-BNW, ECF No. 39 D. Nev. Sept. 30,
2025); United States v. Giraud, et al., Crim No. 1:24-768-MWB, ECF Nos. 144, 145
(D.N.J. Aug. 21, 2025).
The Court advised at arraignment that such motion will require designation
of and assignment to an out-of-district judge to hear and resolve that motion. See 28
U.S.C. § 292(b); Minute Order, ECF No. 19 (Oct. 8, 2025). Thus, in the interest of efficiency and to avoid any unnecessary delay in such process, Mr. Comey files the
instant Notice to formally alert the Court.
Respectfully submitted,
JAMES COMEY
By Counsel

📣Protesting is important. It is a visible reminder that we are not alone and that we are not powerless. It sends a message to those weak men in DC: that we will not give up our freedoms without a fight 🇺🇸

George Stephanopolous did what every anchor and host should have been doing since Bush 2000: Rejecting the bullshit, gaslighting, and rude, evasive filibustering the GOP has perfected to hide their lies.

Picard keeps changing around his door buttons quite a lot. Over the course of the first four seasons of #StarTrekTNG, he has used three different button panels - or none at all. "Where Silence Has Lease"↖️, "Captain's Holiday"↗️, "Suddenly Human"↙️, "Qpid"↘️.

“Democracy. We’ve got to fight for it.”

Nice slogan, Arnold — but the rule book you’re quoting from was written for fair play. We’re not up against rivals; we’re up against saboteurs. Democracy isn’t just being tested — it’s being targeted.
