WHERE ARE THEY?

KYGrace💙 @kygrace.bsky.social · 7h

On Saturday, we wear YELLOW. Historically, people who come together to protest authoritarian governments use a unifying color to symbolize their peaceful resistance. Yellow is a bright, unmistakable reminder that millions of us stand together to say: America belongs to its people — not to kings. ❌👑

Republicans gave away everything, including themselves.

Congress is losing its grip on the power to spend Americans’ money!

Congress is losing its grip on the power to spend Americans’ money

Congress is supposed to control spending, but increasingly, the White House is dictating how America’s money is used.

The Lieutenant Governor of Virginia plays a critical role as the tie-breaking vote in a closely divided Senate. We need a strong Democrat in that role. We need Ghazala Hashmi. She is committed to fighting for the issues and values we believe in.

Elect Ghazala Hashmi
Lieutenant Governor, Virginia

There’s been an active cover-up since the mid-2000s to conceal the Epstein Files.

The damning info from the DOJ’s Office of Professional Responsibility’s investigation & report into allegations of professional misconduct by the federal prosecutors, including Alex Acosta.

REPORTER: We know the president moved forward with mass layoffs. We're also learning there were significant cuts to staff at special education services. Are you comfortable with those cuts?

MIKE JOHNSON: I haven't seen the specifics of that and I don't know

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

Now we're a week from a massive nationwide protest Trump and his agents have inexplicably said is going to be violent and run by antifa—when the last No Kings Day protest was nonviolent and had virtually no antifa presence. We're also told the White House is preparing to invoke the Insurrection Act.

At last, someone who knows the truth:

Seth Abramson @sethabramson.bsky.social · 18h

The Middle East is being conned just like America has been conned.

None of what Trump is saying about the Israel-Gaza war being over is true.

None of the agreements he claims have been made have been made, besides a single hostage deal.

He’s lying to the world, and much of the world believes him.

I am elated that there may be an end to the war in Gaza, but I am saddened by the lack of understanding by the American people, about exactly what happened.

This includes approximately 3,544 administrative detainees held without trial or charge, about 2,673 detainees classified as “unlawful combatants,” and 1,400+ sentenced prisoners serving various terms. Additionally, around 400 children are among those detained, held under administrative detention.
