I posted 2 artworks showing nude bodies (Aprhodite from Peter Paul Rubens Judgement of Paris [Prado], Michelangelo’s David). @moderation.bsky.app labeled both as “Adult Content,” requiring a click through to view them. I appealed, but … Who does @bsky.app think needs protecting from classic art?

I would gladly pay to take a sledgehammer to Trump’s East Wing monstrosity, arch, the gilt Oval Office googaws, the flying Qatari emolument and walk away with small pieces of them. I’d book a party for all my friends. I‘d watch a documentary of their destruction on loop when I was feeling down.

This is exactly what’s wrong with Dem leadership. Highlighting the regime’s illegal conduct *IS* the end of their story for all of our current, ongoing constitutional crises. The last chapter is never concrete action and the afterword is fundraising and codependent complicity.

As a former Coastie, this disgusts me. The Coast Guard‘s reputation for search & rescue aside, its hands were never clean, from Simas Kudirka to repatriating Haitian refugees to probable violence at the hands of Duvalier’s Tonton Macoute. But this is different. www.dropsitenews.com/p/prosecutor...

Good list of things to consider, adding to our ongoing debate about court reform. I'd go for most of them. I'm most skeptical on supermajority to strike down federal statutes. I'm not sure that would work as intended. (NB this is suggesting ideas other than expansion, not necessarily rejecting it.)
