@expatintheuk.bsky.social · 2w agoI encourage you to follow @thesteadystate.org -400 former nat sec officials sounding the alarm! I just discovered this in The Guardian newspaper. They're alarmed by the lies + obfuscation from this Pentagon, unlike any other/ in any previous war. Lies about wounded KIA/ lack of info/lack of access.
Thought post college would not have to deal with more math. Not only am I doing MORE math, I am doing FASTER math. Thanks grocery prices.
Leadership silence is starting to sound intentional. #politics
Okay, I’m done. I swear. This is the last time I mention it.
I was young the first time the news disturbed me and how fortunate for me my great-grandmother was alive. "Oh Allie, I am so sorry. None of this is new. Your parents think they discovered injustice. [she cackled] Hardship and cruelty are constants best combated, not by outrage, but love."
Dynamic tolling sounds boring until your commute changes overnight. My commute changed overnight. #urbanpolicy
Fuck me if I am going to be blinded by politics. If Fauci lied--skewer him. Trump raped girls--skewer him. My loyalties are to other people living here--not to any corrupt leaders.
Fed courts are acting as a check on executive efforts to alter the historical record. A fed court ordered the Trump admin to restore historical signs and exhibits it stripped from national parks, calling the effort an attempt to "rewrite the Nation's history with a white-out pen." zurl.co/9C29X
How can you help? Repost. We don't need money. We need channels to get our message out -- including BlueSky. So the easiest thing to do is repost this message (which includes a Starter Pack, including us, as well as groups similar to us). go.bsky.app/RXFLYri
I think Elon Musk is JUST sentient enough to be dimly aware that he is damned for all time - that his name will be pissed and spat upon for as long as his filthy legacy is remembered - and that delights me. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

We've discovered a network of Trump-related funding surrounding a seemingly random gun ranch in Oklahoma. The ranch also connects to a drone company backed by Trump's sons. Member's of Trump's immigration enforcement keep showing up at this ranch.
ICE is rapidly gaining control of police agencies across the USA. 2001-2025: 130 Police forces signed to work for ICE. 2025-2026: 1,857 Police forces signed up to work with ICE.

And just in time too because Iran has been 2 weeks away from having nukes for several decades. lol
Allison Gill@muellershewrote.com · last mo.I’m old enough to remember that Obama didn’t have to give Iran $330bn in unfrozen assets, lifted sanctions, and a wealth fund in order to get them to agree to nuclear inspectors.
Netanyahu, devil incarnate; the butcher of Gaza, did not take no for an answer and kept pushing every US administration to attack Iran. He had no success, until a deranged man, surrounded by conduits for Israel, his son-in-law took control of the US government. www.counterpunch.org/give/main-do...

I don’t think we’ve hit rock bottom yet on how low he’s willing to go.
Jesus, this new "Text 50 people at once" feature is making me anxious. Am I letting everyone down not using it? Missing some grand opportunity? Should I be networking? Is this LinkedIn? Why do I feel like DM'ing 50 people will result in 50 blocks?!
That. And it is wrong all the time!

If you watch the Obama Library, the World Cup, and the Knicks parade this afternoon -- and nothing else -- you can actually see the America we're supposed to be at age 250
Absolutely nothing to do with the fact that cocktails are $15-$20 a pop.
