Didnโ€™t Trump tell us a week or two back that Russia and Ukraine had reached an energy cease-fire? Perhaps we should stop listening to Trump since he seems to either be outright lying or, at best, is simply wrong.

I canโ€™t believe an angry, hateful man who sent undertrained thugs to beat up immigrants and refugees and started a war of choice that killed more than a hundred schoolgirls didnโ€™t win the Nobel Peace Prize.

I hear ICE is launching a publicity campaign using millions of dollars in taxpayers money. Because it isnโ€™t that youโ€™re a bunch of fascist thugs murdering citizens in broad daylight and abusing the shit out of the rest of us, itโ€™s all just bad publicity. #sbolish_ice #ice #impeach_noem

I just wanted to remind everybody not to say Jonathan Rossโ€˜s name. Apparently something really bad will happen if you say Jonathan Rossโ€˜s name, so donโ€™t say Jonathan Rossโ€™s name. Thereโ€™s a Jonathan Ross who is a British television personality. Thereโ€™s also an American actor named Jonathan Ross.

Thereโ€™s also a Jonathan Ross who was a US politician in the early 1900s. Itโ€™s OK to say the names of those Jonathan Rosses. Just donโ€™t say Jonathan Rossโ€™s name. I want to reiterate, itโ€™s really important not to say Jonathan Rossโ€™s name. Thank you #reneegood #jonathanross

Crispy Gnome will get really really super-duper angry if we say Jonathan Rossโ€™s name apparently. She didnโ€™t really explain why we canโ€™t say Jonathan Rossโ€˜s name, at least not in a logical way. So just donโ€™t say Jonathan Rossโ€˜s name

@rbreich.bsky.social I noticed the US Department of Labor is posting about how Trump is creating jobs for โ€œAmerican-born workers.โ€ Not creating jobs for all American citizens, or even green card holders whom we need, but just โ€œAmerican-bornโ€ workers. This is just un-American!

Look what the fascist US Department of labor is posting on Bluesky: โ€œjobs for American-born workers.โ€ this illegally ignores all the foreign-born American citizens And everybody who works and has a green card. Since itโ€™s the fascist US DOL, I expect their next slogan will be โ€œWork Makes You Free.โ€

Blessed are You Lord God, King of the Universe: please donโ€™t let the big orange manchild insult the president of Ukraine this time and further embarrass the United States. Slava Ukraini! Amen! ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ #slavaukraini #ukraine

Happy #sharkweek everyone! On the age-old debate over sharks vs boat batteries, I definitely come down on the side of sharks. May they last another 450 million years! #sharks #cartoon #illustration #mikepaulart #mikepaulillustrated #savesharks #sharkweek2025
