Murder victim Alex Pretti about 45 seconds before his death.

DHS Sec Kristi Noem said Pretti attacked officers, & CPB Commander Bovino said Alex wanted to do “maximum damage & massacre law enforcement.” In posts on X, Trump’s deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller called Pretti "a would-be assassin.”

You saw what you saw. They're lying to you.

EVERYBODY WATCH.

ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL.

Video of SEIU California’s President David Huerta getting assaulted & arrested during an ICE raid in the warehouse district of Downtown Los Angeles today.

He’s an LA native, American citizen and labor leader.

Don’t turn away.

In fairness, this needs validation - I can’t find corroboration anywhere but that’s what we heard firsthand. I came to Bluesky hoping others had insights but came up short and defaulted to trying to say something to someone because they shouldn’t be praised if it’s true.

Oh, wow. This is so on point.

Employees at our suburban Chicago Meijer have been ordered to not wear their diversity shirts or cover DEI terms with tape if they do. We are heartbroken as they were our answer to Target. I can't find online corroboration but we heard it first person today at our local store.

Hey, random internet neighbor – Employees at our suburban Chicago Meijer have been ordered to not weir their diversity shirts or cover DEI terms with tape if they do. Heartbroken as they were our answer to Target. I can't find online corroboration but we heard it first person.

My skyline aligned just right

This is the old white billionaire version of diss tracks

Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

Actually, if you vote yes for something, by definition, that’s you endorsing it. Don’t pretend otherwise. You are now part of the problem.

Do better.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

PLEASE: Watch what happened in Coeur d'Alene Idaho today. This is fascism. Unmarked cops. 1A violations. RESIST.

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important:

Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?

The UK has a shadow cabinet - political positions within the party that isn’t in power - and so should we. Plus, we need weekly press briefings led by @petebuttigieg.bsky.social on the state of the union. Business-as-usual time is over.

I think the reason people are frustrated with Democratic leaders is that they expect these elected representatives to act like a real disaster is happening, which it is. Four-day weekends and bratwurst junkets in Munich kind of undercut that

This is really messed up. They’re trying to get you to finance food!?

There’s something really dark here, doubly so as billionaires are rampaging and stripping the social safety net.

Musk needs be impeached. Oh. Wait.

Soooo… the only person Trump won’t give classified documents to is Joe Biden?

Especially the ivory towers.

Dear @Doge

If there is nothing to hide. Hide nothing

Trump administration evicts former Coast Guard leader from her house with 3 hours notice Trump fired Linda Fagan, the first female Coast Guard commandant, on his second day in office. A Trump official told her she had three hours to leave her house on Tuesday.

The cruelty is the point.

They're also focusing on the trees and totally missing the forest. The point is only partially about shutting USAID down – it's who drove it and how it was done. The underlying coup is the problem even more than the cutting of aid.

I know all of us who understand what is happening are experiencing mental health challenges because of that.

The only message of comfort I can offer to this community of readers is this: you are correct.

What you think is happening is really happening, and is just as concerning as you think it is.

Point to evidence for those claims? Nobody I know was cheering. We're bleeding heart liberals – that means we want to help *everybody* -- remember, that's what you all fault us for!?

Elon Musk is a terrible president.

Trump is willing to wreck the world economy. The global fightback must start now | Gaby Hinsliff Britain is less vulnerable to US tariffs than other nations, but shares a historic responsibility. A recession would mean dark days for everyone Can a country ever be too big to fail? Waiting for global stock markets to open this morning felt grimly…

@schatz.bsky.social Thank you for stepping up and providing leadership. Action matters.

Please don’t amplify that irrelevant has-been’s voice.

Reminder once more that the President has ZERO authority to reallocate funds already appropriated by Congress for a particular purpose.

And an unelected billionaire oligarch has even less than ZERO authority to hijack & reallocate funds.

This is a coup. A hostile takeover. A Constitutional crisis.
