I planned to share my report on the body cam footage early next week when I learned that a DC news station had obtained some of the footage as a result of my lawsuit and they were going to scoop me. After working on this for a year, I couldn't let that happen. Published 2 mins before they aired :)

I would just like to point out to the Millennial children of Iranian exiles who are all up in my feed praising Trump - and who generally I have great sympathy for - that this is the horse you’re backing.

People Are Calling Meta Ray-Bans "Pervert Glasses" On Bluesky, users quickly embraced the term "pervert glasses" to refer to Meta's Ray Ban smart glasses, following a shocking investigation.

ICE arrested an Oregon shop owner who had her green card in her pocket: β€˜They didn’t care’ Juanita Avila later helped expose ICE’s β€˜arrest first, justify later’ tactics in a lawsuit that won a major victory for immigrants’ rights

NEW: ICE tackled + arrested Juanita Avila, an Oregon shop owner who is a legal permanent resident and had her green card in her pocket.

When she asked through sobs why they didn't believe her, one masked agent replied: β€œBecause they lie all the time.”

Video + interview with her and her daughter:

I am not trying to do the whole "everything's a distraction" thing, but the DOJ holding onto specific allegations about Trump assaulting a minor and releasing them after a war against Iran has taken center stage is, uh... noteworthy timing.

I definitely want to hear more deep thoughts from the guy who claimed Elon Musk's purchase of twitter would "extend the light of consciousness"

Sorry I know the world is in a terrible fix but I've been laughing at this for ten minutes now

Nature Report, Killed by Trump, Is Released Independently

When the US govt terminated the National Nature Asst, @phillevin.bsky.social + the author team were determined not to let that stop them.

They re-organized, set up an advisory committee, found funding…and now the brand new Nature Record is open for public comment. πŸ‘πŸŒ³πŸ‘πŸŒ²

Check it out (link below)!

Cannot emphasize enough: if you don't want the crypto/techpawn Senator, you should vote for LG Stratton

There are several other reasons for a progressive to favor her over Kelly. And a point or two Kelly has in her favor.

But at this pt it's most important to guard against a downgrade from Durbin

Cannot tell you how depressing it is to read that people are simply refusing to read nonfiction after you’ve worked really hard to write a nonfiction book you believe in, in case anyone is wondering why I’m posting so much about my book which comes out in a few weeks #BookSky

I too remember the earlier, woke wars. tons of spent microaggression munitions strewn about everywhere, friends crying out for God as they were slowly cancelled...look, if you weren't there, you'll never understand

It's like when tech billionaires invoke sci-fi stories, and people say, "he doesn't even understand that story's dystopian," but yes, they do get that! They simply embrace the dystopia, market it as inevitable, and want you to understand yourself as a winner or loser in that contextβ€”on their terms.

The people reacting with "they don't understand Walter White was the bad guy" are missing a lot. To their target audience, Skyler was the bad guy. It's about power and violence, and whiny women who don't want power exercised for the sake of personal gain and ego are among their villains.

The Science of Unlearning And Why Organizers Need It β€œNobody had a story about unlearning that didn’t include a connection with other people,” says Lewis Raven Wallace.

apropos of this, I really enjoyed @mskellymhayes.bsky.social latest interview with @lewispants.bsky.social on how people change their minds and engage in meaningful unlearning, it entirely tracks with my own personal experience

People will yell at you because they want to. I have been blocking people for years for yelling at me over things I never said or did. People have unlimited strangers on here to treat as proxies for everything that's wounded them. You don't have to engage with that.

BREAKING: Trump Axes His Puppy Killer Kristi Noem is out at the Department of Homeland Security, partly for a very silly reason. The department will remain under the control of Stephen Miller.

And he probably did OK that ad campaign btw.

People in Trump's orbit were fed up with her power plays, her grandstanding, and her sloppiness (not with her campaigns of violenceβ€”those were the thought work of Stephen Miller anyway). Trump also got angry that she told Congress he OK'd her ad campaign, and her haters in the WH zeroed in on that.

05.03.2026 21:47 πŸ‘ 55 πŸ” 8 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 1

I see the made-up job Trump says he's giving Noem as being on par with his claim that "Elon's not going anywhere" during Musk's farewell presser at the WH. Trump doesn't want parallels drawn to his frequent firings of underlings during his first administration, so he acts like everything's chill.

This is not a promotion. She's not being fired because Trump disapproved of the violence she oversaw, of course. She's being fired because she's a sloppy grandstander who annoyed the wrong people and bc Trump didn't like her telling Congress he OK'd her ad campaign, even tho it seems he likely did.

In a lengthy conversation just now, President Trump hit back at Tucker Carlson who called the Iran war "absolutely disgusting and evil."
"Tucker has lost his way," Trump told me. "I knew that a long time ago, and he's not MAGA. MAGA is saving our country. MAGA is making our country great again. MAGA is America first, and Tucker is none of those things. And Tucker is really not smart enough to understand that."
