I already said I’m not a lawyer. Trump v. ABC Trump v. CNN Trump v. E Jean Carroll Trump v. The Central Park Five

100

The CYA case. They do it so they don’t get sued.

100

NYT v. Sullivan Diaz v. National Enquirer Fox News V. Dominion I’m not a lawyer, but defamation lawsuits are everywhere.

No law. Just the threat of a lawsuit for defamation. Defamation is why they use allegedly.

100

In the US, news associates need to use allegedly until proven in a court of law that the crime happened. This headline is starkly sexist because the accused rapist is dead and can’t sue for defamation. The accused murder can now sue the news outlet for tainting her jury pool.

For profit prisons. It’s already happening.

Autocucumber? I didn’t read it because of that, though.

I remember the billboards while driving into Utah from Wyoming: “Real men don’t masturbate.” With an image of the SLC temple and a smiling white man. Before the internet, people used to drive to border towns for nudie magazines, they weren’t sold in Utah.

I live in Utah. They banned internet porn here years ago (at least it feels that way). How they did it was make to porn sites demand that you prove you’re 18 to use them. The sites said they don’t want to have such personal information, so the sites just went dark here.

Mayhap because these guys are too busy trying to change their website instead of study the earth like they would prefer? www.usgs.gov

Our democracy is being overthrown, that should be your ONLY focus.

I am a blue dot in a red state. The last “democrat” to campaign here was Burnie Sanders in 2016. Democrats do throw an occasional fund raiser dinner on our ski slopes once in a while, but they don’t come to talk to normal people, just the rich ones in the hills.

Hope didn’t wander into the box unbeknownst. Hope is a fury just like the rest of them.

Hope is a fury just like the rest.

I seem to remember the first time he was in office that he changed NAFTA to USMCA. Our trade was affected then just like now. Don’t let short memories ruin the fact that Canada and Mexico let this happen the first time around so now he thinks he treat you the same the second time.

I do not know how to do that, thank you. All I know is that multiple government websites all went down at the same time and were all back up a few hours later. Scrubbed. 🤔

100

They closed all the sites to scrub any references to DEI and climate change. They did it last time, too.

I did not budget enough time at Powell’s when I visited many years ago. My friends told me it was a massive bookstore, and it was grander than I ever imagined.

I’ve watched kids in his school stare at me when I drop him off or pick him up. They are very confused so I know othering is already happening to him.

Canada, Greenland, and the Panama Canal all control Russian shipping lanes.

I’m in a very white state and am myself not religious because I’m surrounded by holier than thou attitudes everywhere I turn. I would love to find a community for him. I know I tell him I’m proud of him.

I am aware of some ‘modern’ racist practices like these and redlining and building the interstate through Black neighborhoods. The last thing I want is for my son to hate himself.

100

There’s a scene in Braveheart, “We’ll breed them out.” Is that where US intention is headed now, do you think? I have a mixed race son and I am horrified at how much I don’t know.

I feel like my basic knowledge on American history is fractured. As I read more, I realize that’s intentional. Thank you for sharing more.

The patterns show that when people are content, voting turnout plummets.

Greenland, Canada, and Panama control Russian shipping lanes. There’s a theme to his madness.

I voted. I feel like the people who are on Bluesky are mostly voters? The people who aren’t here don’t vote. That’s what helps me sleep at night.

Greenland, Canada, and Panama all control shipping lanes for Russia. See the connection?

000

Please tell me more. I’m very ignorant about this.

Thank you for explaining on her behalf. I don’t read it that way, but your interpretation makes sense. You explained it to me which is all I was asking for. She went low, you went high.

Not at all. When there’s massive devastation like what’s in L.A. now, it’s normal to send help. When Australia was burning a few summers ago, all of North America helped. She’s suggesting that Canada stops sending help to the U.S. because our future leader says we’re not friends anymore.

100

Good job on insulting me instead of explaining yourself. 💙

000

Quote one from you: “Sadly, we are no longer friends effective January 20, 2025. Your rapist elect has made that very, very clear.” Who exactly are YOU referring to, then?

000

You don’t want Canada help the US. You have said it twice.

000

Pro tip: unplug your TV after you’re finished watching it. Saves pennies in power bill, too.

000

Not just language. Where you go, what you buy, and who you love.

060

Your idea to stop being there for all of us makes you just as bad as MAGA. We didn’t vote for him, either.

100

Since two of my representatives are listed (with one retiring), the only reason I can think they’d go against it is because they don’t believe that fire prevention works? Maybe we should ask them to surrender their home fire extinguishers, insurance companies here require that you have one.

I heard somewhere that the earth is running low on the type of sand needed for concrete (or at least where humans know to find that type). Trees can be regrown, sand has a limit.

My DK hoodie was stolen while I was at work. I still mourn it.

BarryJellO @barryjello.bsky.social · 09/01/2025

I’m not so sure because it hasn’t been in my face here on the Bluesky. I keep hearing people complain about it…

BarryJellO @barryjello.bsky.social · 09/01/2025

We’re clearly in good company.
