@usatoday.com As long as you post propaganda such as Trump is saving women, I will encourage everyone to not only ignore your publication, but also to block you completely. No clicks, no money. I guess we know where you'd have been in 1930s Germany.

@espn.com Quit calling it toughness when thuggery replaces skill. It isn't streetball. It's the @ncaa.bsky.social When players overpower an opponent, grabbing them around the waist/shoving them to grab the ball from them, that's a foul. So disappointed in the refs that won't use their whistles.

WTF is up with GOP members wanted to purchase geographical locations?!? I just heard about Iowa Senator Bousselot proposed buying the bottom nine counties of MN!! Where did all the expansionist proposals start? Someone put it in 45's head. I'm wondering if it's the same person with Bousselot.

Elon Musk, who got exactly zero votes and is constitutionally ineligible to be president, bought the United States of America and feels entitled to call the shots on keeping the government open. Now he wants the debt ceiling raised so that Trump can get the tax cuts through—for him (Elon).

Sadly, I think I lost a 36-year friendship last night. Politics. It's not usually a problem even when we disagree. But when someone tells me I'm not smart enough to understand, they have broken the respect part of friendship. Without that, there is no friendship.

That was my last MAGA friend. When a woman is judged on a false allegation while supporting a male with proven allegations of the same behavior, it's misogyny. There is nothing more to understand about that particular allegation. It doesn't come down to if I'm smart enough to understand it.

It went furtherz when the subject of 45 came up. I was told something he would do. I pointed out that wasn't what he said. I was then told to not believe the media. When I replied it came from 45 himself, I was told I wasn't smart enough to know what to believe or not. Disrespect ends friendships.

The "lung float" test is being used to charge women with murder. Many experts say it's unreliable. “There’s no way you can determine live birth versus stillbirth with this test," said one doctor, who called the test “an outrageous breach of science.” ➡️ Follow @deldeib.bsky.social (Pub. Oct. 2023)

I, like many of you, have been contemplating our predicament since election night. We are in a losing war for our democracy and I'm not sure we collectively know who our true adversary is. It's not the voting blocks...white women, Latinos, Gen X. It's not MAGA. It's not even Trump. 🧵

@kcci.bsky.social Do your reporters know how to pronounce the "th" sound for each word? I've heard it wrong from multiple reporters. The words "thank" & "Thanksgiving" have a sound like the word "three", not "then". It's distracting & it teaches young ones wrong.

For those who aren’t aware, labor rights were earned in this country in literal wars in the streets between unions and private corporate armies working hand-in-hand with US soldiers. If you didn’t realize it already, the wealth class is seeking to turn back the clock.

Someone should remind the billionaires that before workers had the right to organize and join a union, disgruntled employees occasionally resorted to using bombs and bullets to make themselves heard.
