Oliver Larkin calls Trump a pedophile and Fox News ends the interview. 😂

How do we get the media and the American people to understand that the only difference between surveillance and stalking is who is doing it and also understand that regardless both are doing it to coerce, control, threaten, and manipulate you.

This. 👇

Don't ask the Trump supporters; ask Fox 'News', Newsmax, et al, what they told the Trump sheep to think.

WELKER: Is America backing away from a larger attack bc our stockpile has been depleted? WALTZ: We have to take a step back. A lot of our stockpiles were depleted because of Biden WELKER: But you acknowledge they're depleted? WALTZ: No. And the people leaking this nonsense deserve to be in jail

Whatcha doin'?

Fascism makes you stupid 😏

MAGA, showing their rugged individualism.

I wonder what would happen if an incompetent President appointed incompetent leaders to run the Pentagon... Oh.

Can't get numb to this: The United States is stuck in a war it started, cannot end, and may further escalate to no avail, having dismantled its diplomatic apparatus, depleted its military stockpile, and destroyed its credibility. A historic strategic mistake harming millions in many different ways.

The story of a trans girl who tried to fight Idaho's anti-trans laws, and died to suicide earlier this year, is only now coming to light. Our hearts are broken, but we need to tell these stories and mourn our dead, because the media is barely bothering to look for the victims of trans genocide.

Idaho didn’t want May Pollard to live. Now she’s dead by her own hand. - Assigned Media

A trans teen tried to fight Idaho's bathroom ban in court, but hate prevailed.

Excellent thread regarding Iran's current leadership. Very eye-opening, by an expert.

Silverman on Security@silvermansecurity.bsky.social · 2w ago

I've seen really sharp folks over the past couple of days remark on here that they're surprised by Iran's hardline response to Trump & his Team Clown Shoes diplomatic overtures, to keeping the Strait of Hormuz, & the Iranian response to renewed US strikes. There's a reason for the befuddlement. 1/

CENTCOM: U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) completed another round of strikes against Iran on July 18 at 11:30 p.m. ET, at the Commander in Chief's direction.

OMG, this is *perfect*.

I wasn’t ready for this. ☠️ 😭 Low T Pete will never live this down.

Weapons of mass distraction, indeed.

Jon Ossoff just responded to reports that Trump plans to declare him an “illegitimate” senator because of nonexistent voter fraud. Every word of this is spot on. Spread it everywhere and support Ossoff!!!

Trump continues to deny the results of the 2020 election because he has zero respect for American voters and can't stand his own failure. His attacks on democracy continue because he knows he can't win free and fair elections. Last week, he fired independent election commission members. Now this.

Damn right, I agree with every word she wrote here.

Everyone deserves food to eat, a place to live, and healthcare to keep them living. Trillionaires should not exist in the same world as food insecurity, housing insecurity, or medical debt.

I'm going to KEEP talking about how Florida Senator Rick Scott, the RICHEST man in all of Congress DEFRAUDED Medicare & is trying to CUT Social Security. Will you join me?🤚

Last day to leave a comment opposing Russell Vought's proposed rule change to further politicize taxpayer funded science in the U.S. Link below makes it easy to do.

Terry McGlynn@hormiga.bsky.social · 4w ago

If you have time to browse bluesky this weekend, you have time to submit your comment on the proposed OMB rule to politicize science funding agencies. This one is important. Here's my comment if some inspiration will help. 🧪 scienceforeveryone.science/submit-your-...

If you’re like me, there’s a lot going on, but #astrosci, make your voice heard. I just sent a comment in because I want experts reviewing grants not Democrats or Republicans. You have until tomorrow night to voice your opinion.
