This guy. From my #nature #photography account.

Wow. Whaddaya know? After creating waves of iPhone and laptop panic buying, computers and phones are now exempt from
tariffs. I wonder if Apple knew about this all along? HMMMMM.

This has been so clear from the start. And you know big tech is in on it too. BUY IPHONES AND MACBOOKS NOW BEFORE TARIFFS GO INTO EFFECT!!

Featuring this beauty on my new Flashes mature account which… someone on Bluesky needs to do a better job promoting that IG alternative!

Madness.

News (USA) GOP lawmakers pass bill allowing child genital exams without parental consent And that was actually an improvement over a previous version of the bill. By Alex Bollinger Tuesday, March 11, 2025

West Virginia Republicans just legalized sexual assault against children. This is the child predator enabling act.

Screenshot of three tweets about the Democrats’ plan for the Continuing Resolution vote in the senate. The text reads as follows: Okay, Schumer's speech was a head fake. This is the Senate D caucus trying to fool their own supporters. Sorry to say that but that's what's happening. • • Josh Marshall @joshtpm.bsky.social • 1h 2/ The plan seems to be to vote for cloture and then Thune agrees as his part of the bargain to allow a vote on basically an amendment to the bill. Probably something like Murray's bill. So you give up the 60 vote threshold. Have a vote on each version and the GOP one wins. End of story. ••• Josh Marshall @joshtpm.bsky.social 3/ The point of this to temporarily confuse the issue so that Senate Ds can say they vote for their version while allowing the GOP version to pass. The critical point is that it's handing the GOP the 60 vote threshold for nothing.

If you called your senators yesterday and told the “VOTE NO” on the Continuing Resolution *and* Cloture, CALL AGAIN TODAY.

@schumer.senate.gov is full of it and gave us lip service.

CALL YOUR SENATORS AND TELL THEM VOTING NO AND STOPPING THE GOP AND THIS BUDGET IS THE ONLY ACCEPTABLE ACTION.

New Flashes (IG alternative) seems legit. Using new account to post nature stuff.

Started a nature account on BlueSky’s new Flashes (IG alternative).

Democrats are a fucking joke. Anyone hoping that they will lead a unified resistance needs to look elsewhere. #resist #fucktrump #fuckrepublicans #fuckdemocrats

How the media is enabling Trump to dismantle our democracy right before our eyes. TOYED with ignoring federal courts? He is ACTIVELY IGNORING court orders. BILLIONS of dollars of obligated USDA funding is still frozen in defiance of multiple court orders. The constitutional crisis done been here.

When will EVERYONE realize Trump doesn’t care about approval ratings or losing his base because he knows there won’t be free and fair midterm elections?

Totally sure these will be in no way redacted or doctored.

The Law’s Trump-Size Hole Is Suddenly Exposed The judicial system has started to rule against the administration’s decimation of the civil service. If only it could actually enforce its rulings.

If the president defies the courts and Congress does not impeach him for it, the Constitution simply ceases to exist.

Trump had more Black voters than any Repub in the last 50 years.

They better fucking not.

This? WHO CARES? Trump has never admitted to any kind of responsibility for anything negative. We are in the midst of a real-time autocratic coup. It is happening under our noses. RIGHT NOW. Focusing on what Trump says or how much eggs cost is playing into his hands. So frustrating.

It’s eugenics plain and simple. How many poor MAGA’s in red states will need to die before they realize they’re in a death cult?

cc: @Gavin Newsome It’s time to build a CDC & NIH in California with the folks who were fired from the feds. In fact, I think each blue state governor needs to scoop up these scientists, healthcare workers and laboratory workers asap. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social

Republicans for much of 2024: "How DARE you call our candidate Mr Trump a fascist?"

*President* Trump in 2025:

Ok deep staters working in biolabs: AIDS, but for old white Republicans. Annnnnd… GO!

RIP to America’s National Security. Tulsi Gabbard Is Now in Charge. Senate Republicans fell in line to confirm Tulsi Gabbard as the next director of national intelligence.

The Senate voted Wednesday to confirm former Democratic Representative and current right-wing personality Tulsi Gabbard as director of national intelligence.

Vet found hanging draped in trans flag The suicide letter they won't publish

I'm sad to share that the trans vet that took her life outside the VA last week was apparently Elisa Rae Shupe.

She's someone many of us know - she was responsible for the mass email leak that let us know how the ADF, Heritage, etc planned to enact trans eradication we see today.

RIP Elisa.

The problem is he did not surrender. Programs and funds are still frozen. The problem is he is ignoring the courts telling him he couldn’t do what he is still doing. The problem is the press is not widely reporting that this is STILL HAPPENING DESPITE COURT ORDERS.
