"The thing is, even if you're just thinking in terms of fiscal value, having gone through a degree program and being able to put it on your resumé/CV isn't the most significant return on your investment: the way you have further developed your mind is."

100% agree. But remember without the amazing work of Julie K Brown in the Miami Herald - this could still be going on.

Yep.
So, @radiofreetom.bsky.social , if this is all true, will voting and engagement be enough to overcome it?
This is really good.

Not to defend Olivia Nuzzi, who broke every rule in journalism and promoted a charlatan to his current position. But it's incredibly telling that she will lose her job, but RFK Jr. gets to stay in his job despite the reports of his drug use, his affairs and his defenestrating of public health.

This is how true Christians do it.
Nativity display outside Saint Susanna Parish in Dedham, Massachusetts.

Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus were swapped out for an ICE sign.

Below it, another message claims “the holy family is safe in our church” and instructs people to call a number if they see immigration agents.

Lots of interest here, and I will write about it. But what jumped out at me was ZM's observation that the laws we need are already on the books. We just need to enforce them. I mean, OF COURSE, but... it needs to be said.

Articles we should not have to read, but here we are and thankful to folks like @radiofreetom.bsky.social for informing us.
Be informed, ask questions, trust experts, do diligent research, vote. That’s not a hard formula for helping keep folks like Hegseth from being in positions of power.
Posting stupid memes after being accused of murder is the response of a sneering, spoiled punk who has been caught doing wrong and is now daring the local fuzz to take him in and risk the anger of his rich dad—a role fulfilled by Donald Trump, in this case.

A man with such contempt for the military should not run the Pentagon.

Thing is, we DID hear about it at his confirmation hearing.

Every single senator who voted to confirm Hegseth knew he held these views about the laws of war.

They voted to confirm him anyway.
Everyone should read this terrifying thread about Hegseth’s published views wrt war crimes. It’s pretty fucking radical …. We needed to hear about this in his confirmation hearing.
A chapter in Hegseth’s book is literally titled “More Lethality, Less Lawyers.”

It’s almost as if there were signs!

What annoys me about all the talk of the icc is that these are americans committing crimes under the american legal system, so we need to charge them under the american legal system at the earliest chance. We shouldnt offload the responsibilities of trying these criminals to the rest of the world
Pipe dreams don't change things. I've said point-blank that I think what happened in the boat strikes is a war crime, but I don't think "let's hand over US officers to foreign courts" is a winning Dem message, even if it makes people on Bluesky feel brave and virtuous and good about themselves.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

“It’s now clear that potent opposition to the dictatorship requires concerted efforts by actors across the country, both in and out of government, all directed at bringing every abuse of the regime and its dictator to the attention of a public that is already alarmed.”

Yes. Everything everywhere
The GOP is stuck with a lame duck dictator. Republicans didn't just lose the shutdown, they are losing the American people, who are increasingly repulsed by Trump's War Within America, and by Trump himself, as I discuss in PN.
The lame duck dictatorship
Trump is fighting his "war within" on multiple fronts and losing them all.
