This story of CapitalOne defending its debanking of Tяump due to patterns of money laundering, not political pressure deserves more coverage. Let’s get it out there!
Local Resister@projectspacetime.bsky.social · 3d agoI'll wager $1M that this charge become null/void very shortly. It will simply disappear.
WTAF with these people?! For as much as they scream about their Christian values, they’re all going to hell for their lack of empathy and care for those less fortunate suffering from serious health issues. I’m pretty sure Jesus would be appalled by their behavior.
Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social · 4d agoAppalling cruelty — and all to fund more tax cuts for the rich.
The Boy Who Cried Wolf We all know the fable. Maybe Tяump needs to read it. He’s so embarrassing.
Angry@angrystaffer.bsky.social · 4d agoTrump’s entire statement is a lie. It’s just this week’s walkback of a threat he isn’t willing to actually carry out. What incentive does Iran have to negotiate in good faith? The 30th “fire and fury” message from Trump simply doesn’t hit the same.
Can we all make a pact? Let’s all try to avoid giant big box stores as much as humanly possible, even though it’s difficult to avoid. If you have the choice to buy corn at the giant chain grocery store or your local farm stand, go to your local farm stand! And give them a tip! 
FFS. Trump didn’t flip. These clowns just failed the open-book test.
I agree with this guy… Every single one of these ICE goons should be held liable for not following the law requiring a warrant from a judge to go into someone’s home.

🔥 “I’m so sick and tired of you old people not giving a shit about what we’re telling you. We don’t have a future. We’re telling you what we need and you don’t give a damn.”
Another example of how this current administration jumps to prosecutions to enhance whatever fake narrative they want their base to believe.
Mike@mike-umbkm.bsky.social · 4d ago"You don't charge first and then figure it out. You get the information first and then charge. ...So it's a true embarrassment for Jeanine Pirro. It's a true embarrassment for DOJ. And they brought it on themselves."
What is wrong with these people?! These data centers don’t need employees to run and all they do is steal and poison the water and cause light and noise pollution that destroys the environment and property values. He’s so smug and condescending; lying through his evil smirk. 🙄
@migas7.bsky.social · 5d agoThe party of corruption and lies.
I agree that the story of our government purposely trying to prosecute an innocent man is not trivial in anyway. It’s disturbing and we should all be talking about it as loudly as possible.
Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 5d agoSo many sneering elitist journalists with snarky posts over the past months that the Reflecting Pool story was trivial. It was so trivial that the DC US Attny presented false evidence to a grand jury to indict an innocent man to please the President while they both lied about it.
This is incredibly sad for our country. We’re wat our country lose its role as the leader of the free world in real time. …All because of this one man and his cult following. It truly makes me sad. 😔
🍁🇨🇦Team Canada Forever🇨🇦🍁@teamcanadaforever.bsky.social · 6d agoFrance calls out the U.S. at a UN meeting: “The US used to be a beacon of human rights. Not anymore. Today, it stands alongside North Korea, Nicaragua, Mali and Russia. Isolated. And the world no longer listens to it.” U.S. representatives stormed out of the meeting. Well said France! 👏🏼🇫🇷👏🏼
Parents: If your child cannot stop looking at their phone during a movie, please take it away from them before it starts. It's not enough to silence it. The light distracts from other moviegoers. Thank you for attending my Ted Talk.
Is this real?! WTAF?! Who would vote to merge our military with another country?! I don’t care WHAT country it is!!
Michelle@michelleroy78.bsky.social · last wk.I see 216 traitors (that voted for this "merger") who should be charged with sedition and treason.
It’s what dictators do. Even “wanna-be-never-was” versions.
The narrative that tax breaks for corps trickle down as the co’s who get them treat workers better & expand their businesses is BS . We’ve seen here & the last time Rs gave tax breaks to corps is that all they do is fire workers, increase exec salaries & buy back stock. Regulate the Greedy MFers!
Elizabeth Warren@warren.senate.gov · 2w agoThe Odyssey cost $250 million to make. Guess who got a tax break worth more than 30x that last year? Amazon—after firing 30,000 workers.
Ok… I like a good political discussion as much as most of you who’re on Bluesky, but does every single show on MSNOW & CNN have to be so formulaic & about the same damn things every day?! Can someone please give us some news from around the country & the world?! At this point it’s just overkill.
Well this is powerful. He’s right. “All you’re really doing is building a fence around yourself.”
Windhorse@windhorse.bsky.social · 2w agoSnagged this from FB. This may make some people uncomfortable but I think it highlights just how far we've come from what's natural, from our relationship to the Earth that sustains us and our beautiful relatives we share it with.
Oh BS! There were No lights! They could’ve been ANYONE. I would’ve been scared. People impersonate police all the time. How abt the guy dressed as a cop who shot the State Rep in Minnesota at her home?? And also BS that he hasn’t seen the videos. These people just LIE. They are LIARS!!!
Christopher Webb@cwebbonline.com · 2w agoWatch Homan trip over himself as he lies about ICE killing an innocent man in Maine. “They’d be alive today if they simply complied… Just comply.” That line sounds very familiar to me. It’s the same script cops have been using when trying to justify brutalizing or killing Black folks.
Enough is enough w/any Rep/Senator ceasing to work during their term. Either party, if someone is ill & they need a leave of absence (Fetterman, Kean, McConnell) they should be replaced while they’re out. If they return they can take over but at least there’ll be representation in the interim.
Adam Kinzinger@adamkinzinger.substack.com · 2w agoI think the Governor of Kentucky has every right and responsibility to either see Mitch or declare the seat vacant.
Oh how the cultists used to cheer at his campaign rallies when he said this.
$1m, 100m, 200m, 500m, 900m, $999,999,999+1=$1B. All of that again then $2B, $100s of millions more then $3B, $100Ms more then $4B…then $100s & $100s of millions until 10B, then $20B, $30B, $40B, $50B, $60B, then $70B & that’s just the extra $ ICE was given. They’ve MORE funding than the US Marines
Kinda explains the Putin red carpet treatment....huh?...🤔🤔🤔
The same people who cry "election interference" are hiding a senator's dead body to keep their majority.
China just got a heliostat plant – a concentrated solar power (CSP) station using a large field of computer-controlled mirrors, [heliostats], to reflect the sun on to a tall central tower – to power 170k homes a year and save 130k tons of CO2. The US is getting a ballroom.
