Easy platform for any candidate: Ban Flock. Legalize weed.
Jason Koebler@jasonkoebler.bsky.social · 8h agoNew: Police in Wisconsin used Flock to create a pretext to search a man's car for weed. Their justification? He drove from Wisconsin to Michigan, a “known source state for marijuana as it is legal there,” and Flock showed he "travels to Michigan frequently." www.404media.co/cops-used-fl...
He sounds cranky. Might need a nap. Anyone know where he might be able to get a pillow?

Whenever Trump feels threatened or loses, he lies about election results. He just can't take an L because he's a malignant narcissist. He'd rather the world end than ever admit to losing the 2020 election.

Gotta say, I'm *really* over the antisemitic bullshit (and the AI slop, but that's a small problem in the grand scheme).
Kyle Clark@kylec.bsky.social · yesterdayDepicting Jewish people with horns is a centuries-old, dehumanizing, antisemitic trope. Democratic Gov nominee Phil Weiser is outspoken about his mother’s birth in a Nazi concentration camp, his family members killed in the Holocaust, and the threat posed by antisemitism today.

Trusting a single solitary thing anyone in this administration says or writes on a piece of paper is like trusting that *this* time the stove won't be hot. It won't burn me *this* time. Surely not!
The Bulwark@thebulwark.com · yesterdayCornyn: "Senator Tillis and I came to an agreement after numerous meetings with the Department of Justice and Mr. Blanche…Given this agreement with Mr. Blanche, I expect the department to live up to this in future litigation, and I will vote to advance him out of the committee today."
Concerned about the "pay-out pot for punks," but I guess unconcerned about a weaponized DOJ using its full force to attack Trump's political opponents.
MS NOW@ms.now · yesterdayGOP Sen. Thom Tillis says his concerns with President Trump's pick for Attorney General Todd Blanche have been addressed, and refers to the $1.776B critic-called "anti-weaponization fund" as a "pay-out pot for punks."

Rejecting or questioning verifiable history and facts does not bode well for our future (or our present, for that matter). I get the irony of posting this on the internet, but lots of people need to put the phones down, stop with the Idiocracy-level podcasts, and read a fuckin book.

Finally saw The Odyssey. That was a good time at the movies. Recommended, in case you’ve never heard of it. Doesn’t seem to be getting much press.

Make no mistake, a big chunk of the reason why we're here today is that a not insignificant part of the country simply could not get over that the country elected a Black man to the presidency. Twice. And he's remained a largely popular and well-respected figure for more than two decades.
