Whooo buddy if you know me on Twitter we'll see Assuming the people here are less toxic I will likely be less... confrontational with morons.
Five cops in Indianapolis were just criminally charged with abusing Flock to spy on their ex-wives, their wives' ex-partners and women they met on duty. Audit was triggered by us at the @washingtonpost.com, the prosecutor said. From last month: wapo.st/4yfNHng
look, you can't just punish trump when dems are in power. that might make republicans do something crazy, like stage a coup, illegally shred the federal bureaucracy, or even vstart abducting people off the street and extraditing them to torture sites all over the world
This emerging talking point that ~we should work together to solve problems~ is undermined by the fact that the president doesn't want to do that. He *is* the problem
Meredith Shiner@meredithshiner.com · 6h agoI had not seen this clip where Tammy Duckworth advises Democrats to "not impeach anybody," "get back to work" and "allow" Donald Trump to "save face" and I would just like to remind the senator from IL that the federal government took 4,000 Chicagoans and murdered a 38-year-old father last fall.

I get the appeal of Gavin Newsom. I think a lot of centrist dem types actually like and want fascism, but they don't like the aesthetics of how Trump is delivering it. Like they ordered the fascism from wish and it looks ugly, brutish, and cheap. It's gauche.
are you fucking serious newsom and bonta should be raked over the fucking coals for settling
Justin Baragona@justinbaragona.bsky.social · 8h agoWelp. According to Semafor, David Ellison has discussed bringing Elon Musk on as an investor in Paramount's merger with Warner Bros., which could mean Musk could have a stake in CBS News and CNN. www.semafor.com/article/09/2...
I know it goes without saying but as the right wing media-political complex runs from Trump we should remember that they played a leading role in--and gleefully profited from--enabling and promoting him. Accomplices trying to get off a sinking ship, trying to salvage what's left of their reputation
Tommy Tuberville: Many airline pilots, flight attendants, and air traffic controllers are part of the furry community. It's terrifying.
I think trans people don't exclusively want cis people to not vote for democrats that are anti-trans. I think that trans people want cis people to raise almighty hell about it until every democrat is ten toes down on trans rights, rendering the issue moot.
Every Republican currently running (hand to ear): Sorry who? Dondal Trümp? Am I saying that right
NBC News@nbcnews.com · yesterdayFor months, Florida GOP gubernatorial nominee Byron Donalds wanted anyone who would listen to know that he was endorsed by President Trump. That moment appears to be over.
NYT has now independently corroborated all the major allegations against Susan Collins in the ProPublica report, including that investigators were prepared to move against her and then Trump intervened to shut it down. This put Trump in a position of exceptional and extortionate leverage over her.
F.B.I. Shut Down Inquiry Into Top Ally of Senator Susan Collins
The inquiry was closed last year because senior bureau officials questioned the veracity of a campaign donor’s account, according to current and former officials.

NEW: In late 2024, FBI investigators had enough evidence to launch a sweeping bribery probe that could ensnare top lawmakers, including Sen. Susan Collins. Then Trump was reelected and eviscerated the FBI and DOJ teams handling public corruption probes.

He was "worried about constraints on the governor's power to approve extraditions". www.ebar.com/story/170505...
this is so crazy to say when the president goes on the news every day to say all rules and limitations on his power should be abolished, and this asshole is pulling stunts like this

The billions of dollars we send to a foreign military to drop bombs on somebody else should have been spent to build schools, housing, and to provide healthcare HERE.
at what point are ppl going to accept that just because this lady said a few things they agreed with a few years ago it does not mean that she's not a professional grifter who plays the exact same game the others you are more than willing to pillory also do
Rachel Gilmore@rachelgilmore.bsky.social · 3d agoWow….wild to hear Taylor say she’s glad Elon took over Twitter and that it’s better than ever. I mean, the unconstrained growth of the far right on there? Musk’s thumb seemingly on the algorithm’s scale during elections? The impact on democracy?
Personally i dont really give a shit Wb has what they have by buying up dead studios All studios implode at a certain size. It's the cycle of life for these companies
Ken Tremendous@kentremendous.bsky.social · 2d agoBy the time this merger ruins HBO, destroys WB, gets 5,000 people fired, moves production overseas, and guts the quality of the movies the new studio makes, most people will have forgotten how fast the AGs caved and how little they got in this deal. Writers will not.
