- Apparently you can now buy an official 50 cent roll of 2025 pennies for $9.95. No. Really.
- ...And how many people will keep doubling down, not because they think they're right, but because their ego won't let them actually acknowledge that they were wrong...
- Here is, once again, my complete lack of shocked face.
- Reposted by SeantaclausIt seems as though ICE has been instructed to escalate the violence to justify more violence, and to create propaganda to make us forget we outnumber them 10,000 to 1.
- 🚨BREAKING: ICE unleashes ONSLAUGHT of flash bang grenades and chemical ammunition at unarmed Minneapolis protesters in WAR-LIKE attack. Several protesters struck. Our reporter @zdroberts.bsky.social struck in the head. "I got hit in the head really bad." LIVE NOW ⬇️
- Much like The Shitgibbon, Hawley is an opportunistic chameleon. Except, while he's more intelligent, he has no spine. So while I was surprised he initially voted for it, I'm not at all shocked that he flipped.
- ...*WOMP WOMP*... Once again, The Shitgibbon is denied.
- Reposted by SeantaclausI heard a good point. If that officer felt “threatened” by that lady such that he had to kill her, he is too fragile to be a cop.

I was quite busy the last 2 months securing a new 'base' for Flashes with @eurosky.social - account hosting and data processing outside of the US as sovereign social media infrastructure in Europe.

- Reposted by SeantaclausIf the fascism isn’t enough to keep you away, take it from a former Tesla owner: mine tried to kill me. I was going 70+ using cruise control when it slammed on the breaks because it saw a shadow. I found out later it happened because Musk ordered them to shut off a radar system I paid extra for.
- Reposted by SeantaclausThe group Project Citizenship told radio station WGBH, “officers were asking everyone what country they were from, and if they said a certain country, they were told to step out of line and that their oath ceremonies were canceled.”
- Apparently there's now a birthdate requirement on here. That's as amusing as me getting carded for alcohol. Sure, okay. Lol.

- Reposted by SeantaclausToo late. Marco Rubio already spilled the truth. The so called peace plan was Russia’s wish list, not something the US drafted. He’s trying to walk it back but the damage is done. He’s scrambling.
- Reposted by SeantaclausSex trafficking on Meta platforms was both difficult to report and widely tolerated. Instagram’s former head of safety testified that when she joined Meta in 2020 she was shocked to learn the company had a “17x” strike policy for accounts that engaged in the “trafficking of humans for sex.”

Abt 1,800 are under 24 years, < 200 are under 15. Trans ppl are vulnerable bc of terrible support & discrimination. Alberta's anti-trans laws will kill.
- Reposted by SeantaclausSomeone please explain to me how every single major media report about Trump and MBS does not start with an explicit statement that the two men are now officially business associates in multiple Trump Organization developments in Saudi Arabia, making any meeting about profit as much as anything else

- Reposted by SeantaclausThis article about black women in punk and punk-adjacent spaces put me in mind of Pauline Black of The Selecter, one of the top second-wave ska bands. Overshadowed by male-dominated bands like The Specials and The Beat, their sound was defined by Black's strong vocals and a very punky affect.

- Today was oil removal from the left eye, and buckle insertion. Oil was inserted a year ago after the simultaneous dual retina detachment, to act as a ballast as the retina healed. Gas bubble was inserted today as temporary stabilizer, and will be absorbed over the next few weeks. Fun times.
- Reposted by SeantaclausThe Epstein files released today did not come from the DOJ's Epstein Files. They came from Epstein's estate. Pam Bondi is still protecting Trump at all costs. Today's release by Democrats was aimed at undermining her efforts. And to make it harder for Donald to pardon Ghislaine Maxwell.

- Reposted by SeantaclausA reminder - last March, republicans promised to restore $1.1B in funding to DC in exchange for funding the government, and Mike Johnson never took it up in the House.
- Reposted by SeantaclausHey Senate Dems, mike johnson said last week he WOULD NOT promise a vote on tax credits!!! Do you know what a bill the passes the senate but doesn't pass the house is called? It's called NOTHING! The republicans wont even hang the January 6th plaque (which is already law) They played you.

- Reposted by SeantaclausMAGA folks are claiming that Trump can’t fund SNAP even if he wants to because it’s against the law. First, no it’s not. Second, he’s a 34 time convicted felon. He was found liable for sexual assault. He’s been murdering people in the Caribbean. Don’t pretend he cares about the law.

- Reposted by SeantaclausAfter voting to give billionaires tax breaks and making health care more expensive, Derrick Van Orden has refused to hold a town hall to talk to the voters he works for in a face-to-face conversation. So, I'm heading to Wisconsin to help give the people he's supposed to represent a voice.
