I’ve noted lots of new followers this past week or so.
Vetting is difficult, however: nothing in bio, nothing but reskeets, repost after repost of starter packs.
Who are you? What are your interests? And please, no dating profiles.

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

they think the government forces total adherence to an extreme set of beliefs on a population that would otherwise be radically different because they all grew up in churches that operate exactly that way

a key thing about vought — and all of these guys — is that they have a totally top down and hierarchical vision of the world. they believe that the cultural changes they hate can be turned off by destroying the federal government because they can’t imagine that they emerged bottom-up in society

Thomas Zimmer @thomaszimmer.bsky.social · 19h

What he’s railing against is a profound shift in culture, status… He’s obsessed with the idea that America is controlled by a leftist “ruling elite” - but “elite” isn’t defined socio-economically or by political power, it means something like: Getting to define “real America” and who gets to belong.

It is the majority party's responsibility to negotiate with the minority party to fund the government. That's what you call governing and if the Republicans aren't up to the task they should all resign so we can end the Trumpublican shutdown!

Chris Murphy: "Republicans are boycotting negotiations to reopen the govt bc they're desperate to raise premiums on people by 75% in order to finance their tax cut for the wealthy. The other reason House isn't in town? They're about to have enough votes to mandate the release of the Epstein files."

Not yet. The fox is stealthy. It is so quiet and careful to avoid making noise that if my friend hadn’t been facing the deck, I’d have never known it was there.
The birds make a lot more noise and THEY demand fresh ice water. They know I’m the source of water and they peer in my back door!!

Un fckng believable. So New York Times decided to brong doubt in what Ukraine says in this title rather than to talk the danger of Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant just blowing up if not suported correctly

The funny thing ? They changed title later but when you google you still see the first one.

I vote with Black Women. Because Black Women know the truth. The community leaders (Black Women) are tuned in.

I cannot explain the blind stupidity of White people (especially women) who vote against their interests; except that they have nothing but their Whiteness to feel good about themselves.

~Paul Revere & The Raiders~

🎸🎼🎹🎶 They took the whole Cherokee nation

Put us on this reservation

Took away our ways of life

The tomahawk and the bow and knife

Took away our native tongue

And taught their English to our young…🎹🎶🎸🎼🪶
