This!

I hate that Bluesky doesn't let you edit...but, JUST FYI, you CAN always delete your post/comment. You could always copy it first and then put it where you meant to! (you CAN now do drafts in Bluesky, though that doesn't always help me!)

Familiar?

"...state troopers & other law enforcement officers met the unarmed marchers with billy clubs, bullwhips, & tear gas. A newspaper photograph of the 54-year-old Boynton, seemingly dead in the arms of another marcher, illustrated the depravity of those determined to stop Black voting."

"Wherever we have a chance to make an impact, whether it’s in our school or our workplaces or our neighborhoods or our cities, not for fame, not for glory, or because success is guaranteed, but because it gives our life purpose... and because if we don’t step up, no one else will.”

No More Benefit Of The Doubt Last Sunday, we discussed a number of cases pending in front of federal district judges in Minneapolis.

Yep. BIG ouch!

"..the Court directs Respondents,” (that’s the government here), to handle the claims β€œwith the same urgency that it used when arresting and transporting detainees, including these Petitioners, out of the state of Minnesota during Operation Metro Surge.” Ouch."

"And what did you think was gonna happen?" could be the subtitle of SO many regime moves these days...

A disgusting display of antisemitism, invoking an age-old trope about Jews and money.

We condemn this antisemitism and those who perpetrated it, and we are grateful to the countless Democratic leaders who have spoken out against it.

More "take backsies" in the news.

Now you see an investigation; now you don't. Now they're dropping a futile appeal; now they're not.

You'd think we were going through some kind of unstable times in this country...

β€œincorrectly coded as duplicative”

Good one, DOJ.

Top contender for Originality of Lies Award.

"The [DOJ] said in a post on the social media platform X that the records β€Œit ⁠released Thursday were among 15 documents that it had β€œincorrectly coded as duplicative” and not published as a result."

It must be nice to live in a country that looks forward to advances in medicine and medical treatment instead of looking backwards, like the USA.

Congratulations to Japan and their researchers.

I like Predator Class beCAUSE it speaks to their power and dangerousness.

My question is about Congress voting down the anti-war resolutions...does that mean this war is legal now, since Republicans won't stop it? If, as I suspect, it's not, why not, and what else can be done?

"..he made it clear he is worried about experts’ assessment that the U.S. is low on high-end munitions and interceptors. "

Great interpretation of that long Trump rant! I was clueless.

Sometimes they come up high on my feed and sometimes they don't, but that's just the usual algorithm stuff. So far they DO come up fine on your FB page for me, which was the problem last time...will be on the lookout.

NOEM: Our federal detention centers are held to the highest standards in comparison to other detaining facilities

McBATH: Did you just hear me? He has to crawl through mold and feces and bodily fluids just to take a shower. This is absolute lunacy and you know it.

Commanders Accused of Framing Iran War as Biblical Mandate, Jesus' 'Return' More than 100 complaints were made by military officers between Monday and Tuesday, totaling over 200 in total across every installation.

U.S. military commanders are...telling troops the Iran war is β€œall part of God’s plan”

β€œPresident Trump has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth”

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation says it received over 110 complaints...

Came here to finally say something I've been wanting to say for months:

THANK YOU so much for always printing the journalists' names in your Letters, and not just the publication names. We all need the reminder that great journalism is still out there in spite of the oligarch media owners.
