- He’s doing exactly what his boss, Vlad, needs him to do. Russia can’t surpass us on the world stage by themselves, because after decades of a dictator, they’re too corrupt and incompetent, their infrastructure is crumbling and they take even worse care of their people than the US does, by a LOT.
- Good news is good, but realistic warnings are also needed sometimes.
- As mayor of Newark, Ras Baraka has a responsibility to ensure that facilities operating in the city are adhering to laws that protect the safety and wellbeing of occupants and residents.

- Hey @theguardian.com? You know how there’s no algorithm on Bluesky? Well that means that when you make twelve-plus posts about sports in a row, they all show up in our feeds in a row, taking up our whole feeds with nothing but soccer. The only way to not see nothing but these posts is to unfollow.

- BREAKING: New Jersey mayor Ras Baraka has been arrested at an ICE detention center where he was protesting its opening, acting U.S. attorney says.

- Totally false. You’re just a pointlessly hostile man-baby troll. They have a legal right to be at the facility. The facility doesn’t have the legal right to be in the state of NJ. That’s not a technicality. Enjoy being blocked by 90% of everyone who reads your sad attention-whore comments.

- False. He wasn’t protesting. He was there with members of Congress to visit and oversee the facility, a right they have by law which ICE has illegally denied. The facility itself is also illegal: NJ law bans immigration detention facilities.

- FALSE. Please stop saying he was “protesting” as that is misinformation & plays to their narrative. Mayor Baraka & members of Congress were there LEGALLY to visit/inspect the *ILLEGAL* ICE facility that has not allowed any oversight. BTW: NJ law bans immigration detention centers.
- Ras Baraka, the Mayor of Newark NJ, has been arrested by ICE for the fully Constitutional act of peacefully protesting.
- Even worse: He was arrested for attempting to visit and oversee an ILLEGAL immigrant detention center along with members of Congress who by law are allowed to enter and oversee these facilities. And NJ law bans immigration detention facilities in the state. Calling it “protesting” is misinformation.

- Yes, please let’s see more of this. The Republican Party has devolved into a toxic cult. Anyone who isn’t a member of that cult needs to either take their party back from the traitors or leave it. It’s not even an actual “Republican” party anymore - it’s become a fascist party. #AThreadOfHope #GOP
- the fascistic cruelty, vicious stupidity, and proud ignorance of the current administration is so staggering that it has me questioning not just the subjective, like my faith in humanity but also gravity and the existence of oxygen.
- I honestly just want to cry every single day, and often do.

- GOOD NEWS! Researchers at the University of New Mexico have developed a tau-targeting vaccine that could help PREVENT the progression of Alzheimer’s disease. In preclinical trials, the vaccine REDUCED pTau, IMPROVED memory AND motor function, and REDUCED brain atrophy with NO major side effects. 🧪🧵⬇️

- Everywhere the MAGA traitors get beaten gives me #AThreadOfHope.
- I’m a bit late on this one, but still worth celebrating. U.S. District Judge Geoffrey W. Crawford is another in a series of judges we’ve seen recently who are examples of courage and integrity that the rest of the judiciary should look up to in this time of crisis #MohsenMahdawi #AThreadOfHope

- WATCH: “One person is not allowed to raise taxes… the founding fathers saw this and said taxation begins with Congress…” @RandPaul rips his own Republican caucus for turning their backs on “conservative principles” to “let the president do whatever”. #TrumpTradeWar
- I will take him and any other Republican *slightly* seriously as the “conservatives” they claim to be when they either leave the party to form a new one, or loudly declare that MAGAs have warped and distorted the Republican Party and call for THEM to leave it and form their own party.

- WATCH — @timmiller.bsky.social : “The Trump crypto corruption is now off the charts… the only rationale for doing a $2 Billion deal with Trump’s shitcoin is you want to bribe the president. We have a bribery scheme with Abu Dhabi and the Trump family.” H/T @thebulwark.com
- This is completely illegal and we need to remove him from office and put him and more than half of his staff in jail. Not for their political party, not for their ideology- FOR COMMITTING NUMEROUS ACTUAL CRIMES.
