My first post. What do we call them here? I ditched Twitter (soft ditch after the X move, then deletion after Nov. 5) and disappointed with Threads. I'm liking Bluesky and I'm here to share and view images. Follow for more!
The headline should read: "As election nears, some GOP candidates grow a spine"

While trump takes midday naps, Zohran is “delivering” for NYC.
If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon.

Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.

What a contrast.
1976 vs. 2026

The tone of America's Bicentennial was...different from today.

The hate, the xenophobia. The same today in Trump's America as in Hitler's Germany.

Not fake news.
Rep. Kamlager-Dove: "I rise today to sound the alarm about a grave national security threat: Donald Trump's sleeping habits ... we cannot trust the WH on matters concerning the president's health because they are denying what Americans are seeing with our own two eyes."

"A new national poll by the Marquette University Law School, interviewed 982 adults nationwide from April 8-16. These are the president’s worst numbers among the eight national surveys Marquette has done in Trump’s second term."

When you go to pay your taxes today, remember that billionaires like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos got way more benefits from Republicans’ “Big Beautiful Bill” than you or me! I explain how.

If this is happening at just one of the concentration camps, what’s happening at the others? Donald Trump has already mentioned ICE being at the polls so as these places will only get more full the conditions will continue to worsen

Critical alert about ICE death camps.
Royer Perez-Jimenez was 19 years old. He died by suicide at 3am on March 16 at Glades County Detention Center in Florida. He is the 2nd person to die in ICE custody this week, the 13th this year, and the 42nd under Trump. 🧵

Can I get an amen?!
"A new era of religious leadership in the U.S Catholic Church has dawned — driven by the immoral and destructive extremes of the Trump administration. No longer can anyone, but Catholics in particular, infer consent from episcopal silence."
Editorial: The church speaks out. A new era has dawned.
It is a new level of opposition for American cardinals to formally question the fundamental morality of an administration's engagement with the world.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.
