Travel, my dog, laughing with my husband, drinking a glass of wine/cocktail with my friends, playing word games, reading a book…these are a few of my favorite things.

Noticing the turnout for No Kings is considerably smaller. Several people who usually attend didn’t know about it. Are other platforms throttling No Kings?

An apt description of this administration

Mrs. Betty Bowers@mrsbettybowers.bsky.social

The Pentagon is withholding causality and hit numbers. The CDC is withholding infection rates. The FDA is withholding information about food contamination. The EPA is withholding pollution and climate data. This corrupt administration is ALL about concealing the consequences of its incompetence.

Instead of hearing about this and thinking “how dare he take 3 months off!” consider thinking that 3 months’ paid leave for inpatient depression treatment could be available for everybody if people like Rep. Tom Kean (R-NJ) chose to pass a law that said so

Stephen Miller: "It's very bold that Democrats would choose Texas to nominate their first transgender Senate candidate who's transitioning into a female. When Talarico goes in for a blood test, blood doesn't come out, instead soy milk comes out. This man has less testosterone than Jasmine Crockett."

It was a war, but it also wasn't a war. It never started, but it's also over. The regime is destroyed, but also we're talking to the regime. Sssshhhh ... don't worry your little head, just clap when Big Daddy talks.

The US government collected over $1 billion in immigration fees then refused to process the applications. No denials. No refunds. Just silence. This is the largest fee fraud in the history of the American immigration system. Here's what's happening. 🧵

The Congressional republicans don’t care if the government is shut down and if their constituents suffer. They don’t fear repercussions in the 2026 elections. You can bet they have been told the elections are in the bag for them. They act with impunity.

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

I want the entire nation to hear me when I say this isn’t just an attack on the people of LA, this is an attack on every person in every city in this country. Today’s ruling is not only dangerous – it’s un-American and threatens the fabric of personal freedom in the U.S.

SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in a college applicant's file is blatantly unconstitutional ALSO SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in targeting whom to detain and deport is cool cool cool

Replying to @murray.senate.gov

RKF Jr. is a dangerous man who is determined to abuse his authority to act on truly terrifying conspiracy theories and disinformation—leaving us unprepared for the next deadly pandemic and snuffing out potential cures while he’s at it. My full statement.

When will the American people wake the fuck up and realise this doesn’t happen regularly in other countries? There is a sickness in the soul of Amercia that guns have more rights than innocent children. I am so fucking mad. And the phrase “keep them in my prayers” - please, they were in church!

Throwing a sandwich at a cop: REQUIRES 10-PERSON TACTICAL TEAM TO AREEST IN FULL RAID GEAR (even tho subject wanted to turn himself in) Beating a cop unconscious with a flag pole: “Go home. We love you.”

Throwing a sandwich at a cop: felony. Beating a cop unconscious with a flag pole: tourist behavior.

Tim Cook pathetically kisses Trump's ass by pretending him with a "24 karat gold" gift

If there is a miracle and a Democratic president gets elected to office in 2028, he/she should do an executive order nullifying the second amendment.

The United States is not the “Land of the Free”. We are moving closer to NORTH Korea where everyone has to praise the dear leader and outsiders will be literally “ICEd” out.

Yet another U.S. citizen kidnapped in broad daylight by ICE—they refuse to tell her family where she is. She was not protesting in any way—was arrested just seconds after dropped off for work. "The only thing wrong with her this morning is the color of her skin," her mother said.

@bsky.app has a way to go as far as getting businesses to post here. Spectrum has an internet outage in parts of Los Angeles since 2 am due to vandalism. They announced something on Twitter (will never call it the new name), but not here.

Well, that was quick. I'm pretty sure we should all stop saying that the shooter in Minnesota was dressed like a policeman and just assert that there is no longer any way to know whether or not anyone is or isn't law enforcement. Because that is the truth.

Blue Heron Farm@blueheronfarm.bsky.social

It seems to me that if ICE etc. are not being made to show their faces or wear uniforms, it would be super easy to get lots and lots of photos of "ICE agents" doing really really bad things. Even normies hate seeing ICE do bad things. Might help undo some of this bad shit. 🤷🏻‍♀️

As much as I am not surprised at the spat between the 2 narcissists, I do wonder if it is to distract the public from something else that may be going on.

Party of “pro-life” - was always a lie.

The Trump administration has revoked permission for a 4-year-old Mexican girl who receives lifesaving medical care from a California hospital to stay in the country, attorneys for the family said on Wednesday.
