US citizens in Berlin can get help registering to vote from abroad this Saturday in either Charlottenburg or Prenzlauer Berg. The midterms are our best shot at reining in the Trump admin. Make sure to register and submit your ballot on time! @votefromabroad.bsky.social @demsabroad.bsky.social
Much easier to transport people to and from the stadium if you absolutely destroy demand by making the tickets cost $98. If anyone should be claiming success from this World Cup experience, it is Uber and Lyft.
I wonder if @grahamformaine.bsky.social is pissed he covered up that super neat tattoo for nothing.
What is stopping @govandybeshear.bsky.social from calling a special election to replace absent Mitch McConnell?
"French authorities in 2020 arrested modelling agent Jean-Luc Brunel after allegations he procured women for the US billionaire. He was found dead in prison in 2022." "Epstein died in prison in 2019 while awaiting trial for sex trafficking." #EpsteinFiles www.france24.com/en/france/20...

More trolls seem to be reacting to factual postings with the thought-free response of "Trump Derangement Syndrome." Like everything with the Trump world, every charge against a perceived opponent is actually an admission.
Nobody disputes that having access to a car in a car-dominated society is good. It gives one access to jobs, healthcare, food, education, social opportunities and more. All we're asking is for people to go one step deeper and ask why access to such basic rights requires buying and operating a car.
Romeo Kokriatski@vagrantjourno.bsky.social · 3w agoI grew up in Jackson Heights in Queens and we still had a car, and our lives got measurably better when we did.
If Andy Beshear doesn’t call for a special election before August 3rd and force Mitch McConnell to prove he can speak in a video, then Andy Beshear becomes the new Merrick Garland. I’m sorry but I make the rules.
We watched Trump's dangerous and deranged speech so you don't have to. Here are the moments you need to know about:
Duckworth on Hegseth announcing testosterone screenings for troops: "It sounds like gender affirming care to me, so I'm glad he's come around ... this is just more performative bullshit from the least qualified secretary of defense in our nation's history."

@aperfectcircleband.bsky.social at Zitadelle in Spandau yesterday. "Holy shit. You guys must be really wet."
This Danville, VA city council candidate made a very dramatic video about sidewalks and public safety, and I love it and him. Worrying about a possible milkshake duck situation, I looked at his FB page, but he seems ok. Juneteenth celebrations, community outreach, Methodists. A solid old gent.
Stroopwafels were given out to runners as energy boosters. I like to say "Make Lange Eylandt Dutch Again" for the bike infrastructure, but Stroopwafels are good too!
Murphy Half Marathon around Lake Ronkonkoma (3x) today. Ow my body.
If @nerd4cities.bsky.social wants to write off a beach vacation as a business expense, I highly recommend checking out Suffolk County Transit's 15 bus to Robert Moses. Was brand new and on time, and the irony of taking a bus across Robert Moses Causeway to Robert Moses beach is delicious.
Good morning Ronkonkoma from the 51 bus to Patchogue! Heading to Robert Moses with SCT and LIRR. Wish me luck!
#LIRR to Ronkonkoma delayed 30 minutes without any clear explanation. WE'RE BACK BABY!
I hope @votewelch.bsky.social makes grape jelly out of Suozzi on Tuesday.
Given the way Elon Musk speaks of nonwhites, particularly from Africa, I would argue we should view his actions at DOGE to destroy USAID—which has led to the deaths of 600,000 and the millions more to come—as intentional acts.
David Ho@davidho.bsky.social · 2mo agoWho could have predicted this? 🤷🏻♂️
It appears Grok killed the schoolchildren in Iran, in tandem with a US military under Pete Hegseth who DGAF. Remember when Anthropic said 'No' to Hegseth's demand that they allow the DoD to use Claude to kill autonomously, with no human oversight? Check out this timeline:
Quintessential Trump: In 2025, Trump axed the program to combat New World Screwworm, stating that they had "saved" $1.5 million a year. In 2026, the Trump announces a $1 billion emergency program to combat the Screwworm outbreak. $1 billion would have funded the old program for 667 years.
