Only reason I'm still there is that I'm only paying .99/month. And I still think about unsubscribing weekly as more good journalists leave and the rest bow down.

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.

Dear God...when Laura Loomer appears more sane than Trump...

Eileen @eileenrod.bsky.social · 4d

My money's on Stephen Miller. It's a job perk for him.

Eileen @eileenrod.bsky.social · 4d
