Gingerly returning to social media after a near total news blackout since the election. Bluesky makes this process easier as I see a cohesive sigh from #resistors, gathering, dusting each other off, sharing strategies and getting back to the big struggle - #strongertogether... #GoodbyeX #FollowBack

Yes, however, Americans seem to quickly forget that NO LOYALISTS WILL EVER BE FIRED IN THIS AUTHORITARIAN STATE UNLESS THEY CROSS THE REGIME LEADER!

GOV. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social : β€œFacts are stubborn things… Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas…. Alabama is a top 3 murder state. Where is the President? β€” He isn’t focused on crime & violence. It’s about an expression of authoritarianism.”

If Trump wants to throw the book at people who commit β€œviolent crime” while desecrating the American flag, why did he pardon people who on Jan. 6, 2021 violently assaulted our cops with American flags-on-poles, calling them heroes and rewarding their bloody flag desecration?

NOW: Judge Xinis is presiding over a writ petition filed by Mr. Abrego. She's proposing the government respond by Wednesday, and a hearing Friday at 11 AM. She says extending a TRO is necessary because there appears to be a violation of the law. 1/

Bluesky @bsky.app Β· Aug 22
Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users.

While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

It really bothers me that we're not talking about how the GOP cut DC's funding before invading.

#ICYMI: Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.

She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.
Kristi Noem Secretly Took a Cut of Political Donations
A dark money group paid $80,000 to Noem’s personal company when she was governor of South Dakota. She did not include this income on her federal disclosure forms, a likely violation of ethics…

A deranged convicted felon who wants to distract from his involvement with Jeffrey Epstein is lying about Washington, DC, which tallied a 30-year low in violent crime last year. It’s important to keep speaking the truth and not permit this pathological liar to control the narrative.

Profoundly saddened by a mass shooting in NYC killing 4 people, including a police officer. We must never accept the lie that gun casualties are the price of constitutional freedom. May the memories of the lost be a blessing to friends & family & a reminder to all of us to act.

Trump can’t:

take away our anger
stop us from using our minds
stop us from reading & writing
hide his fraudulence
make us hate a free, democratic America
convince us our allies are really our enemies
make us stop loving
stop us from realizing collective power
