Good morning! This is my first post of Bluesky. I am officially getting off twitter. I hate what Musk has done to that platform.

Thanks Judy

Lovely

I drew this surreptitiously on a train headed to BC 🇨🇦. The unwitting model was one of my mates from the @mcmasteruniversity.bsky.social choir. We gave a series of concerts across Western Canada 🇨🇦. I took my sketch book along to record the personalities of as many of my colleagues as possible.

He ought to be ashamed of himself.
This man wants to spank Alberta teenagers who ask questions of politicians.

She needs to pack it in!!

Young people like Evan are not tomorrow’s leaders; they are tomorrow’s leaders TODAY!!!
Disgusting. Thank goodness for engaged young people like Evan, maybe they will be able to do better.

This shows how out of touch the UCP is. What a way to turn off the next generation of voters in this province. I can wait for Evan to run for a seat against a UCP incumbent and destroy that person.
Those morons just made Evan the most famous kid in AB. Well played, McAllister.

Bruce McAllister is an example of what is wrong with our province. He shuts down a high school kid because the kids was exercising his freedom of expression. People like Bruce should not be anywhere near politics. He is a very poor example.

Yes! It is time for a change in leadership of the Democratic Party in the Senate.
Senate Majority Leader Elizabeth Warren has a nice ring to it, right???

This will come back to bite the Dems.
Democrats were overwhelmingly united on their shutdown demands.

Americans understood that Trump and Republicans were to blame.

Voters made it known last Tuesday that they'll elect leaders who stand up to Trump.

Democrats held the cards — and folded for no reason.

That’s the biggest mistake professional sports made
Maybe professional sports shouldn't have gotten into bed with tech bro/gambling apps

I Knew It! This is what he does…. Now America Has To Look At The White House In Ruins For Months…

Dems know how to shoot themselves in the foot.

He’s got to go

John Fetterman has not been a well man for a lot longer than we ever suspected.

Beautiful work!
Not many people are talking about the children being harmed by #ICELawlessness but it's important to talk about.

What's happening to these kids is being paid for by our tax dollars.

We're paying for the torture of children.

I know this is beyond grim, but we must let people know about this!

Is the shutdown over? Not yet.
Tonight’s vote was only step 1 of 5.
There’s still another 60-vote hurdle, amendments, AND then the House.
Pressure matters right now—especially on Kaine, Rosen, Hassan, Shaheen.
Stay loud.

Shutdown NOT Over: What Tonight’s Senate Vote Actually Means

“This was a very very bad vote”

Vote everyone of them out of office.
Never forget who sold us out:

Hassan
King
Cortez-Masto
Shaheen
Kaine
Fetterman
Durbin
Rosen
This is a bad deal, and the old way of doing things is clearly not working.

We need new leaders in the Senate.

The most vilified human being on the planet, but certainly in the USA, is Donald Trump - the felon who occupies the White House.
Trump just got massively booed and flipped off by the crowd at the Commanders game.
