words to live by

ah, so that's why Trump is getting bent out of shape about the Alaska Senate race:

Does anyone know who makes/manages the current voting machines in the US that are allegedly changing some entries from D to R? and are they internet connected? Thanks 🙏

If he can pull the plug on Ukraine, he can pull the plug on America. He's too big to trust.

Keep shining that spot light Thanks @thetnholler.bsky.social

Team Trump is referring to Putin as a “humanitarian” this morning From Washington Post:

Steve Witkoff, US special envoy representing the Trump administration, told Russian President Vladimir Putin: “You talk so much about my president, President Trump, being a humanitarian. You are a humanitarian also, sir, and I salute that, I commend you, and I thank you again.”

Not sad to miss advertisements. I only see them when I watch sports. Goodness. wtf.

Wait a moment, did you hear that? THAT my friends is the sound of JonathanPieNews hitting it straight out of the park. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💥😎

my friend @juddlegum.bsky.social has put together a cool new tool that allows you to photograph political mail and immediately learn who paid for it. Check it out here:

I was today days old when I learned Dolly Parton covered Collective Soul’s “Shine” alongside Nickel Creek and the dobro player from Alison Krauss & Union Station. She won a Grammy for it. Blew me away. youtu.be/plUD6vN80dg?...

tRump has added, in just five and one half years as president, 11.7 trillion to the debt. That's almost 30%.... Well, maga wanted a bankrupt businessman to run the biggest economy in the world like he runs his "businesses", what did you expect to happen?

Great thread

Yes.

Republicans call Democrats communists the way toddlers call every vegetable broccoli.

Trump’s next pick to be AG will be Jim Jordan because he’s the next biggest lifelong pedophilia cover up guy in DC.

In June, when we debuted the first official portrait of President and Mrs. Obama at the Obama Presidential Center Museum, the world went wild for the story of how Michelle Obama had long hoped to collaborate with renowned artist Njideka Akunyili Crosby, and how deeply the experience moved Crosby.

President Obama met with the WNBA all-stars in Chicago this weekend. I love how he's a big fan of the league like I am and knows all of the players by name. Remember what it was like to have a normal, well-mannered, kind-hearted president? I miss that.

Most people know one Amy Sherald painting. They should know them all. From Michelle Obama’s iconic portrait to the powerful works that followed, Sherald continues to reshape how Black life is seen in American art. #SheShed #VivaHerAlliance

A 660 ton steel ball just did its job: watch it swing inside Taipei 101 during Taiwan's 7.2 earthquake, canceling out the tower's sway.

Tough response to Trump's primetime election speech - Major media boycotts, refuses to air it - "Nothing new was revealed" - Tough day for "sanewashing" Just filed: youtu.be/UeL5SieWWmQ?...

America. Reject immigrant detention. Due process is everyone's right. Concentration camps are wrong and horrific.

This is the the person worthy of our tax dollars

we need more voices like this sensible. on point. courteous.

Today, remember that your energy is precious. Spend it on the people, moments, and dreams that bring kindness, growth, and peace into your life. Give freely, love deeply, but also protect the beautiful heart that carries you through each day. #Jaye’sMorningLight

Sooo. Popped over to threads for a few months. Not impressed with suckmans allegiance to the claw. Glad to step off of that platform. Look forward to catch up here.

Dear God, Please let me live long enough to see these corrupt and pompous assholes meet some sort of legal karma for their crimes and wrongdoings.

And lo, a tiny angel appearethed by the food bowl and sayethed unto them, “what exactly is the hold up here?” Photo from my collection, no record of date/info.

Will any right leaning folks begin leaning left as the tides turn? Or are they just following the money?

"Grandkids planned to surprise Grandma at the airport dressed as T-rexes, but she learned of it and planned her own surprise."

Trump and his ilk, lifelong cowards, prey on the vulnerable first: women, immigrants, queer folks. They test how far cruelty will take them. But the true definition of alpha? Standing strong. Protecting the vulnerable. Defending justice. Something Donald Trump has never done, and never will.

I’ll say it again 👇

“This is intimidation. It’s authoritarianism. And it’s a betrayal of our Constitution.” — USMC Veteran Keegan Evans He served in Iraq. He helped fight wildfires in California. Now he’s sounding the alarm as Troops are deployed into U.S. cities over the will of local officials.

Tim Miller: "The ICE raids are not happening at Donald Trump's golf courses or in deep red parts of the country. These raids are happening in blue cities... That shows just how much they want this fight."

For decades, Republicans in Washington have told us that tax cuts would trickle down to workers. Instead, wealth and power has accumulated in the hands of the richest 1% at the expense of the rest of us. Trickle-down economics was always a hoax.

9/29/2023— General Milley farewell speech: “We don’t take an oath to a tribe, we don't take an oath to a religion, we don't take an oath to a king or queen, or a tyrant, or a dictator, and we don't take an oath to a wannabe dictator.” Never forget our country and Constitution come before any man.
