They're dumb too. This is a country of morons.

Deport me to Sweden or Norway !

Hillary told everyone in 2016 too.

No one in this uneducated hell hole gave a shit. All they care about is the price of eggs and getting rid of the brownies. Look how that turned out?

Don’t forget the women and gays, the Muslims worked hard at that!

Since 2A exists, libs need to take full advantage. Be prepared to defend yourselves from these psychos and their terrorist acts.

It's not going to be the Warsaw Ghetto. Fascists are cowards. They only ever go after the unarmed.

Yeah Twitter is full of people blaming Harris for not saying she would put conditions on funding to Israel, arguing there's no way to argue Trump would treat the Palestinians any worse than she would have.

Lots of disinfo flooding the social media airwaves. Sounds like Bluesky has been hit with the "Blame Biden" bleating, too.

At this point, I assume 80% of it is bot noise from Russian and Chinese troll farms. Sure, there are some losers who are clinging to their stupidity and refusing to admit they were wrong, but it's not this many. After all, where are the campus protests over Trump's statements? Oh right, Putin doesn't need them anymore.

Sen Schatz of Hawaii places blanket hold on all State Dept nominees in response to USAID fiasco. Not sure what good, if any, it will do.

Because it's a tool in our toolbox and we should use all tools in our toolbox.

Yeah people have already started lists of the bots to block them from feeds. It's so blatantly obvious.

The most spineless Senator in history.

Actually, I think she's actually that stupid. If she understood any of this and wasn't a total boomer mark, she'd probably vote against it.

If destroying the USAID, FBI, and CIA doesn't raise some eyebrows at the pentagon, nothing will. That's a straight line pointing at the Pentagon.

I haven't actually seen much of that to be honest.

I see it if I am on the “discover” tab which I really don’t do much

I usually stick to Following (90%) and Popular with Friends (10%). THere used to be a tremendous algorithmtab that would actually find accounts and content that matched what you'd like. BUt Bsky took over that feed and killed it. Which... I think I'm ok with despite it being a quality product. Less algorithm, more self-cultivated content.

DOGE hard at work. They canceled $8.2 million in payments from the federal govt. to Politico. I totally agree with canceling the payments, because f*ck Politico and their shoddy reporting…but that is 0.000001% of the federal spending for 2024. At this rate, we’ll have a balanced budget by 3018, just in time for Trump Augustus XXXXXXXXXXVI to take office.

Actually I believe they just had a payroll glitch that has been solved, unrelated to doge?

Two planes have collided on tarmac at sea tac (no injuries)

Reward to who can find the woman who caused this

Lmao usaid was investigating starlink in Ukraine

You mean like how when they needed it, it wasn't available?

 

[RaceBoarder]

Has there been any chatter as to how all of this is sitting with military higher-ups? Since the whole point of their job is to be three steps ahead of real world actions, they have to see all the neon signs pointing towards them getting the call to serve some blatant purpose under Dumpy and Elmo.

The New York Times (@nytimes) on Threads

Breaking News: The CIA sent the White House an unclassified email listing all employees hired by the spy agency over the last two years to comply with an executive order to shrink the federal work force, in a move that former officials say risked the list leaking to adversaries.

btw X is running rampant with "didn't vote for Harris because of Israel" whining that people are correctly pointing out they should have known Trump was going to treat Palestine much worse.

Our resident security expert must be having an aneurysm.

Right?
