amanda moore 🐢@noturtlesoup17.bsky.social · last mo.Everyone is talking about Trump’s mock up arch at the Great American State Fair, so I filmed it from top to bottom and front to back for everyone who can’t see it in person.
@katiephang.bsky.social @brendanballou.bsky.social congratulations on pursuing your claim against the lawless DOJ and its leaders. More power to you!

@profmmurray.bsky.social loved the foot on the scale photo. I hadn't seen that one before. Thank you.
Exhibit A in why I think local communities should be fighting AI data centers along with private prisons. They both do the same amount of damage to our people and the environment.

June 3, 1926: Allen Ginsberg, a poet in the forefront of the Beat movement, the sexual revolution and 1960s counterculture, is born in Newark, N.J. His epic poem “Howl” (“I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness”) withstood obscenity-law challenges and became a modern classic.
@velshi.com we really don't want a Becerra/Steyer runoff in CA. We win with one Dem in the general, and it will cost us ZERO DOLLARS. Money that can be spent elsewhere. And I'm so tired of hearing ads for the first time in many, many years.
@katieporterca.bsky.social just heard you on MS NOW. Your statement that Becerra is implicated by the investigation from last year is disingenuous at best, a lie at worst. Clean up your act.
In my high school English class that was referred to as the willing suspension of disbelief.
Lawrence Hurley@lawrencehurley.bsky.social · 3mo agoNEW: Chief Justice John Roberts bemoans that Americans don't understand how the Supreme Court operates and see justices as "political actors". The court at times simply has to make "unpopular" decisions, he adds: www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...
CNN panel following CA debate is useless. These people don't know CA, and are saying stupid things, especially Scott Jennings (is that his name? What a mess he is). Van Johnson doesn't act like he is a Californian.
@khanna.house.gov your ads in support of Tom Steyer are disingenuous at best, dishonest at worst. The accomplishments you list are not credible, nor is Steyer. My impression of you has cratered.
Why post fake stuff? Reality isn't bad enough for you?

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

Taniel@taniel.bsky.social · 6mo agoNEW: Special elections in the razor-thin Democratic majority-Houses in Maine and Pennsylvania. Billions of dollars in funding for school. A congressional primary.

After 3 years working under Putin’s missiles and drones as our Ambassador to Ukraine, I resigned when Trump kept appeasing Putin. The America I proudly served for 28 years does not bow to dictators. It’s not who we are. But the Trump Admin keeps doing exactly that. 1/3
I'd prefer if they came, but only to games played in Canada or Mexico.
