I don't post on my profile much, it feels like I'm posting a sign instead of a conversation. So most of my posts are replies. That's what you'll mostly get when you follow me. That and the occasional sign like this one.

NEW: I found 17 sheriffs in Illinois that have contracts to detain people for ICE through U.S. Marshals Service contracts. IL law explicitly prohibits these types of intergovernmental service agreements. news.wttw.com/2025/10/22/d...

I think there's a lot more people upset at the Nazi stuff and honestly this is helping to clean stuff up. Podsave America, Lyle, and Bernie are very much on the minority at least on Bsky left. It's sad it got this far, but hopefully this is a chance to turn things around

Ummm looking at their reposts, Trash is not calling you the podcast class. They are talking about Pod Save America and another dude (Who did circle the wagons around Platner) Trash is agreeing with you

Bernie's response to this terrifies me honestly. I used to have so much respect for Bernie (And some for Platner too). bsky.app/profile/eric...

Bernie about Platner,

“In all due respect, all right, what I'm worried about, 50,000 Americans may die unnecessarily? And you're worried about a tattoo?"

When I asked about his comments about sexual assault, he said "Have you served four tours of duty?" I said "I have not."

Bernie: "Ok"

Because of this I just realized he was never prosecuted and instead basically died of old age (Stroke while swimming at 67). That's absolutely horrifying
