terrific NZ music in these sessions, well worth a watch
Hugh@hughsundae.bsky.social · 12mo agoSome brand new music from Lawrence Arabia, performed last night at the #infinitysessions which I am having the time of my life directing. They're live at 7:30pm each night but then get taken down, save for one song from each artist. James' new stuff sounds great. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdpW...

bloodless coup. but many hearts broken
Josh Busby@busbyj2.bsky.social · last yr.I can't think of a faster way to undermine the country than simultaneously firing government workers, cutting scientific research, rolling back protections on public health & environment, & cutting essential services. It's like the US was defeated in war and is being occupied by a hostile enemy.
R’s have the votes in the House to cut Medicaid. That could/should change. Voting for the “framework” might be easier than voting to actually enact Medicaid cuts, but R’s won tonight. We will fight this in Senate but it will come down to people outside of the capitol being sufficiently pissed off.
the legitimacy of the Supreme Court will be tested soon, they too will be fighting to keep their jobs, The short sightedness of the immunity decision may well be their undoing.

These false claims were trumpeted endlessly on TV and in print. The prosecution and guilty plea of the "informant" who spread those false claims has received little attention. This is how disinformation works.
Brad Heath@bradheath.bsky.social · 2y agoRemember the FBI informant who claimed President Biden took millions in bribes from Burisma? He admitted today in federal court that he made the whole thing up. And that he started spinning new lies after meeting with Russian intelligence. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Nurses don’t tolerate patient harm at the bedside, & we shouldn’t w/ the next HHS secretary. We stand w/ these Nobel laureates in opposing RFK Jr nomination. We are the largest & most trusted profession: We must lead with values & oppose someone that threatens public health! @protect.our.care

Olivia of Troye@oliviaoftroye.com · 2y agoToday, #KashPatel sent a letter to my counsel @markzaidesq.bsky.social threatening to sue & demanding I retract my MSNBC comments on his unfitness to serve as FBI Director. This follows his threats against media & political opponents, showing how he might act if confirmed. I stand by my statements.
Reup: After I noted that 5 GOP Senators have suggested Trump's appointees should get FBI background checks, a bunch of people said, "They need to demand them." My response? Make them. Get on the phone now. www.emptywheel.net/2024/11/27/o...

Robert Downen@robertdownen.bsky.social · 2y agoThe future of journalism is incredibly bleak. An industry already in crisis now faces this + heightened legal threats + the “nonprofit killer” bill + tariff-induced cutbacks in household discretionary spending. It’s existential. If you can, please support journalism now, before the worst hits.
wondering what you can do, support guys like this.
Ian Bassin@ianbassin.bsky.social · 2y agoHi Blueskyers. I run the organization @protectdemocracy.org which aims to do just that. Over the past decade we’ve won countless cases to protect voters and truth, helped pass legislation, and unfortunately predicted much of what’s happened. Follow and repost so we can keep doing that here.

Email your Democratic senators and tell them to confirm as many pro-democracy judges as possible before the GOP takes control of the Senate. Dozens of nominations are pending and our senators must act ASAP: act.indivisible.org/sign/tell-yo...
I don't want to sound alarmist or anything, but I'm not sure it's a good idea to skip FBI background checks and bury congressional ethics reports about nominees to the most important posts in the federal government.
