"I struggled to hold the box. I nearly broke my wrist and fingers. I managed to stabilize myself at about 6,000 ft, and the seeds were released precisely where we wanted them to be. It was complete ecstasy."

Adam Schiff on disqualifying Trump from running:

“The 14th Amendment, Section 3 is pretty clear

“If you engage in acts of insurrection or rebellion against the government, or you give aid and comfort to those who do, you are disqualified from running”

This should apply to every single republican who aided the insurrection and the big lie.

Twitter has a been a hotbed for fascism pretty much the whole time. I was surveilled on there and then dogpiled by people calling me racial slurs and the like in like 2014. I'm one of many.

Tbh it's telling that some people only think it's fascist now. It's telling me those folks didn't engage with black folks in any meaningful way there and probably won't here either.

Happy Labour Day. If you're not working today, thank a union. #LabourDay #union

“#Twitter has been accused in a revised civil US lawsuit of helping Saudi Arabia commit grave human rights abuses against its users, incl by disclosing confidential user data at the request of Saudi authorities at a much higher rate than it has for the US, UK, or Canada.

Lawsuit was brought last May against #X by Areej al-Sadhan, the sister of a Saudi aid worker who was forcibly disappeared and then later sentenced to 20 years in jail.” #Xitter https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/sep/04/twitter-saudi-arabia-human-rights-abuses

The moon and Jupiter at about 6:30 this morning. Jupiter shows up pretty well if you can view it in larger format.

THE FINDING OUT PART: The Proud Boys were finally sentenced, save for the neofascist group's leader Henry "Enrique" Tarrio. He learns his fate soon. But before then, I invite you to come inside the courtroom with me in my in-depth write-up for @emptywheel

Anyone still on Twitter/X or Bluesky should read this from start to finish. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/sep/04/twitter-saudi-arabia-human-rights-abuses

One week ago a nazi shot up the dollar store, targeting only black people. Today nazis openly demonstrated in Orlando. Haven’t yet heard a peep from DeSantis about it.

Here's another Colette picture I took a week ago as the sun was setting. You can really see the red color of her fur when it's in bright sunlight. That's not unique to Colette; all black cats' fur does this to some degree.

This is legit scary. Marsha Blackburn is openly admitting that her bill KOSA will be used to drive trans people off the internet.

But Democrats are lining up to support it, and LGBTQIA+ orgs have dropped their opposition. WTF WTF WTF

Well after 16 years on the bird site I stated I was moving to Mastodon. Then I noticed some advice to remove the media in your feed. Haven’t been on the site for a long time and when I got there all followers and those followed is gone, zip, nada, zero. Here it states why. I broke the rules. Oh Elon you have such a subtle way of showing what you value - yourself and nothing else. Being on Mastodon has been and continues to be the best outcome. #enshitification
