Bag Lady; bags in my car, bags under my eyes and bags where my ass used to be. I bring my own. If I've put a smile on your face then I am worth the space I take up. BTW I'd rather be old than dead.

OMG it is way way past good night. Got caught up in all the tension and anxiety and now just let it go and indulge in the beauty of a Cornflower and sleep on it.

Much more will be written about the importance of "The Rule of Law". The one thing in the very long list of transgressions I thought had to be nearly sacrosanct is the Rule of Law. Let this not become The Maginot Line of our undoing against those hellbent on destroying the foundations of our gov't.

@deadlinewh.bsky.social 5PM EDST Mark Blumberg and Brad Adams discussing the "breaking of the rule of law", to me is one of the most important part of what's happened since 2017. The "immunity decision" was the proof of the Supreme Court's visible capture. Hopefully more will be posted about this.

How pathetic. This pro-Bolsonaro Brazilian official relied on the Thiel-backed prediction market (Polymarket) to suggest that Flavio Bolsonaro had won his debate against President Lulu (who just defeated Bolsonaro in the election.) Because Polymarjet is “real” info. 🙄 1/ x.com/delegadorama...

Awwwww yeeaahh…

The long-serving strongman leader of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, has conceded defeat in an election that pitted him and his right-wing party against a diverse student-led opposition movement that spent two years protesting his government.

This is the day today in all of its gloriousness of colour. Going to wrap myself in this and get outside and work with nature today.

The Anemone-type dahlia, 'Polka', with a fluffy golden central disc and outer florets in pink and white provides a bright burst of sunshine and happiness as well as having a botanical superpower: harvesting the #flowers actually causes the plant to double its output #Autumn #Garden #BloomScrolling

Just have to say good night y'all the worst is brewing and we need all the most good a night's sleep can provide. Thank you for giving us this moment of beauty to carry into the night with us.

Bright fuchsia pink and yellow Globe Amaranth "Gomphrena Fireworks" will certainly brighten up any garden. No deadheading is needed to keep the plant flowering heavily all season and they can reach 3-4 feet tall and wide #BloomScrolling #Flower #Floral #Gardening #FlowerReport

If you are not reading(following) @dempseytwo.bsky.social then I beg you to please start now. I have many bookmarked "wee threads" that documented so much of the truth of what should have been stopped before it ever got past the first primary. "We the People" must get very serious or lose it.

Remember that time the grand jury returned a four count indictment against the president based on Jack Smith’s J6 investigation? Check out Count 4 and vote like your democracy depends on it.

What happens in this election will impact not only the state of Maine but the State of the Union as well. Not to mention the already broken "rule of law".

If Susan Collins wins, it's because too many Mainers wrongly believe she's a moderate. This misinformation has been amplified by ME media for 30 years & by the millions spent on her PAC ads. Here's a footnoted list from Suit Up Maine to combat this false claim. (See alt text for sources.) #MESen

NYT fails to note that Collins has held ZERO oversight hearings as Appropriations Chair. It's hard to claim she "often defies Trump" when she steadfastly refuses to do any oversight of an admin characterized by the failure to spend as appropriated. @nytimes.com

Joe Sudbay@joesudbay.bsky.social

NYT confirms, in its NYT way, what's obvious about Susan Collins: she only votes against Trump policies when her vote doesn't matter Her votes "have rarely thwarted the president during his second term" But she's really mad about Vought who she voted for! www.nytimes.com/2026/10/11/u...

I've been saying this my entire life since childhood and I'm just starting my 80th year. It's about "time" folks figured out Daylight Sucker Time was about being chumped into the Corporate power structure con game. Take your power back and don't just give it away. Use technology to make life better.

For the last 10 or so years, they‘ve been rubbing us down to a nub. They’re trying to make us miserable so that we give up. This election is our final chance at showing our resilience. That we will not be broken by hate, psychological operations, active measures, or intentional harm. Vote them out.

Revealed in this video, too, is how Leo bought Susan Collins' up, and ultimately deciding, vote for Kavanaugh, awarding him his seat on the U.S. Supreme Court which led to the Dobbs Decision ending ROE v WADE. Collins had vowed to protect RvW.

Fun trick that Republican presidents can act like dictators because “unitary executive theory” but Democratic presidents aren’t able to govern because “major questions doctrine”. It’s almost like those are fake things fabricated to weaponize a Republican SCOTUS majority!

Aside from the "immunity decision" specifically, it is but another "connection of dots" going back to Bush v. Gore. "...may claim in Trump v. Slaughter.Their edict will be dressed up in the language of “separation of powers,” but that is merely a costume for this extraordinary power grab." 1/

If @jennycohn.bsky.social is reposting about Peter Thiel's influence I too would follow that lead. I perused briefly and Rebecca Mercer's name caught my eye. 2016 is the year I read almost everything about Robert Mercer plus. I read about Cambridge Analytica & warned whoever don't do FB surveys.

Re-upping because people seem to forget about & underestimate Peter Thiel’s influence, which is likely how Thiel wants it. Thread.
