I'm taking a break from Bluesky for a while. My reason for being on social media wasn't to listen to a bunch of stuff I already know. I started my Twitter account in 2011 to fight Elon Musk. When I met him in 2004 I knew he would be a blight on society. I don't know what this is.

The DNC is just sending me mails saying "Holy Shit!" and "Thank you from the bottom of our hearts" This is what it looks like when real humans say "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!"

When people tell me they โ€œdonโ€™t do politics,โ€ I get it. Itโ€™s not pretty and it can be totally exhausting. But hereโ€™s the thing: billionaires and giant corporations are certainly doing politics โ€” and theyโ€™re going to keep doing it regardless of how you feel.

To California haters... It's the United States of America. We are separate states united not one country ruled by a fucking king! California is still the 3rd largest economy in the world. The US would be 2nd rate country without us.

I am so happy to be living in California in these dire times. I thank our Governor, Attorney General, Senators and all the representatives that continue to do their job for the people in their district. I am thankful for our election workers who work hard to keep our elections safe. To the rest ๐Ÿ•–..

some deranged lunatic is going to storm an elementary school with an ar15 looking for the schools surgical center and the media is going to pretend we have no idea where they got that idea from

Trump: "They want to cut your children. It's unbelievable what they do. Your son leaves as Jimmy and comes home in three days as Janet, and they don't even ask you. They can take your child out of school and do whatever the hell they want. Minnesota is one of those states."

Israel has elections in a few days. Like us here in the states we have this one shot at taking our government back and changing paths. If we do not we deserve what comes next.

Under Trump and his Republican enablers, the richest Americans and biggest corporations have made out like bandits. Average working Americans are paying dearly for what the bandits have stolen. The grift and the graft must end. Accountability starts November 3.

Mike Johnson threatens us with a good time: "If this group took over, they would turn every committee of Congress into an investigative body. They'd spend every day investigating the president, the first family, the cabinet, donors to the party, leaders of business ... "

We are not the same. We are not even the same species of human. I am not being hyperbolic. We will eventually be able to detect which are the narcisistic species that has no empathy or intelligence. They mimic us to fit in but not very well. We'll find the marker that identifies them.

LOL Ukraine hit a Russian data center and Russian bot activity immediately dropped to practically zero. Elon is mad hahahahahaha

Let's be clear for a moment. Extremist "far right" are vile nasty people that only want to ruin everything we want to make better. And Extremist "far left" are vile nasty people that only want to ruin everything we want to make better. It was never right or left that was our enemy. It was extremist.

I've hated stupid people since way before it was popular. Everyone, including my wife always told me I was too hard on stupid people. Not everybody can be as smart as I am (in a condescending tone). FYI, they aren't doing that anymore. ๐Ÿ˜† My wife says now I wasn't hard enough on them.

Donald Trump is his own worst enemy. He has unintentionally lit up the darkness. He shined a bright light on the scum that infests human society.

We got our ballots today. They usually get mailed but just to be safe we are going to put it in the drop box at the grocery store. I talked to the guy in charge of our box, he is cool. He's focused on ballot boxes and collecting ballots and nothing else.

If you're wondering what the real threat to "election integrity" is, it's billionaires.

Americans for Tax Fairness@4taxfairness.bsky.social

The people in charge handed the richest 1% a $1 TRILLION tax break last year. Now those same billionaires have spent $1.7 BILLION on the midterms. Which came first? The politicians currying favor by passing tax cuts? Or the billionaires bankrolling those who will favor them?

In Trump's second term, Bezos has received... -Huge new tax cuts for himself and Amazon -Millions of dollars in new Blue Origin federal contracts -A slap-on-the wrist FTC settlement for Amazon -A gutted NLRB led by a union-busting lawyer No wonder he's been such a Trump sycophant.

New research indicates Walmart is working to compile massive amounts of data on individual shoppers and potentially charge them different prices, despite the companyโ€™s denial. This shady tactic is called surveillance pricing, and Walmart isnโ€™t the only corporation planning to use it. Watch.

Turns out being a stupid narcissist is worse. Much worse! Let's just rename that Trump narcissism. When you have an 85 IQ and think you know everything. I also thought of Dumnarcisist. Think of it, no b. Nobody knows it had a b. ๐Ÿ˜‚ What a dumbass!

Why have so many people fallen behind? It's not because of immigrants, trans people, or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP. It's because corporations and billionaires rigged the system in their favor โ€” and a bought-off political establishment let it happen. It's time to fix the system.

I'm assuming we all agree that calling a media outlet fake news just because you don't like what they are reporting is infantile right? RIGHT?!

Let me be clear. We live on a planet where we can get energy from pointing a piece of glass at the sun! We have cars you can drive and plug into a 110V outlet if you want to or have no other outlets. We don't need oil.
