I have found my north star and it is Chungus State.

I will vote for the first candidate who tells me they're going to make the biggest government possible. Reacher-sized agencies. Braun Strowman-level social benefits. Government so big it starts belching out National Parks and free healthcare. Chungus State.

Easy to forget or even outright miss if you don't follow things like me but North Carolina Democratic Party was the first, and I believe remains the only, state Democratic Party to label Israel an apartheid state and call for a total arms embargo, offensive and defense, until apartheid ends.

Can report back from the Charlotte No Kings that "free Palestine" is now, if not the normie lib position, then at least fully accepted among the normie libs. Lots of signs and flags scattered about, no apparent drama at all.

Can y'all help @oregonthedm.bsky.social out? They've been a tireless advocate for all the good causes and are in a real bind with not being able to find work.

Look I've been holding off from months asking this on Bluesky because of my pride but I need help.

My car needs brakes, my rent is past due and my step kid needs shoes.

I hate having to ask this

I assume this is him calling for MAGA chuds to take arms and hurt protesters.

I'm glad you are being taken care of and that you let us know. Thank you.

😬
These screenshot posts are disappointing and make no sense. But I'd rather know where someone stands on this issue because it likely colors all their other views.
Oh well, it is easy enough to unfollow and mute such voices. Especially when there are so many journalists sharing their work here.

This is an incredible discussion detailing the impact to different factions, heads of state, and the broader dynamic, on where the situation stands in Palestine, Lebanon and the rest of the region.

$30 is insanely cheap for good quality clothing.
Even then, there are horrible differences in the cost & quality of women's wear compared to men's.
I pay $80-120 for the same double stitched, thick & heavy weave cloth, women's button down that I see selling in men's departments for $40-60.

Celicia @spoonbread.bsky.social · 7d

Right? I was thinking the same exact thing. This is the boomerang effect of discussing the oppositions tactics. By constantly discussing the protest, it reinforces the original message.

It has taken way too long for the corrupt crime syndicate to have their methods backfire, but I'll take it.

Also, every time one of these new stories drops about OpenAI inking some insane new deal that is clearly going to fail spectacularly, it's prudent to remind ourselves that the then-board of OpenAI tried to fire Sam Altman because he was lying to everyone about the organization's technical progress.

These are mostly indigenous communities in Alaska that have been slammed by the storm.

The local manager of a small airline fleet says he is the only one doing evacuations right now!

Defund FEMA and people are abandoned. Defund public media and no-one knows.

FYI, today is Indigenous Peoples Day.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Please welcome to the Sunlight Joseph William Behling aka “Marcus NH” of Manchester NH - Patriot Front & the New England Active Club.

By Way of Plymouth @bywayofplymouth.bsky.social · 9d

Please reach out if you have more info about Joseph William Behling of Manchester NH, previously of Hooksett NH! Allegedly “Marcus NH” of Patriot Front & the New England Active Club, and involved in Patriot Front’s efforts to recruit teens, Behling is potentially a serviceman in the US Navy.

A triptych of images of various points in Joseph Behling of Manchester NH's life. The first is him at his Londonderry High School Class of 2021 graduation ceremony. He wears: a blue graduation gown and cap; a corded sash in red, white, and blue; a medal with a red, white, and blue ribbon with several pins attached; and half-frame glasses. He holds his graduation certificate in its shut holder. He grins, blithely. The second is from a Patriot Front photo op, taken in front of a concrete wall in a wooded area somewhere in or around Manchester NH, during December 2022. A man who is allegedly Joseph Behling holds his right fist to his heart, and conceals his face with a white gaiters and tan baseball cap with a black variant of the Vermont Republic flag. He also wears what appears to be a Colombia Ascender softshell jacket, khaki pants, and glasses. The wall behind him has been vandalized with graffiti, of which a Patriot Front fasces symbol is somewhat visible. The third is allegedly of Behling during Patriot Front's standout against SatanCon in Boston MA during April 2023. A white man of average build, he wears a white gaiter that covers the lower half of his face, including his nose, black aviators, a tan baseball cap with a Patriot Front flag patch on the front, and a navy blue zip-up jacket with a hood. The right sleeve has a pair of patches: the Christian identity flag, and an Appeal to Heaven flag. His right arm is extended outward, and he clutches a cross (with a figure of Jesus crucified upon it) as if attempting to ward something off.

A group of hundreds of faith in coalition who started at a Maywood church just arrived at the detention center for a eucharistic procession.

They want to offer communion to detainees inside, but won't be able to get past the barricades and fence on Beach Street.
