Just trying to get through it all without hate…
Yes. Because it’s
history.

So let’s just teach it all…

Yeah, so when I started on FB, I had like 50 friends, and if one or two responded to something I posted I’d be excited to reach out back to them. But I’m struggling with the lack of interaction here.

Thanks Scott Held. At least you’re here.

Let’s figure out how to make this more interactive

Gutting healthcare…gutting research…gutting education…gutting diversity…gutting arts…all of it — it sucks. Totally sucks.

But in a normal democracy could all be reinstated.

But creating a non-equal branch of government—-that will never be given back.

Get it?

Sorry.
The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired.

The age of human tyranny was cruel—but flawed. AI tyranny will be perfect. It will know you better than you know yourself. It will shape your reality before you resist. And if we lose democracy now, we may never get another chance to win it back

If 1000s and 1000s and 1000s of people protested in the streets across the country, and you only hear about it on BlueSky, did it really happen?

This. Right. Here. Why is this not the lead story? Each and every fired employee has a story. Had a job. Working for us. Doing something that was deemed important.

And now doesn’t. Where are the faces of the victims of this bloodletting? They should be all we see…
“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”
Yesterday many thousands of federal employees were terminated. This is a Reddit thread for federal employees that got laid off.

Hats. Let’s just focus on the hats.

Or is that just bread & circus?

US Attorney Danielle Sassoon’s single voice of principled protest should become a chorus loud enough to drown out the weasel-like treachery of Emil Bove on behalf of Elon Musk and Donald Trump’s co-presidency.

Everyone needs to read her eloquent words:

The man is good. And just getting started.

Does anybody do anything than repost anti-trump echo chamber articles in this place? Because we get it - we all hate the same thing. And we don’t want to be in Twitter. Or Facebook. But come on…where are the sports or the music or the culture stuff that make other socials interesting?

If that isn’t the most jacked up understanding of Christian love, i’m just not sure what is.

I mean, first there’s love the Lord thy God. Then, well, let Luke 10:25-37 tell you how it is supposed to be. But hey, why follow Jesus’s teaching when you can follow this load of nationalist crap…

The most surprising part of the Luka going to LA is that he ended up a Laker and not a Dodger like everybody else…
February 11, 2025 at 5:31 PM
Luka put up some straight up Dennis Schroder numbers last night. (Schoder 14/5/3 during his career in 27 minutes a game - Luka 14/5/4 in 23 minutes last night).

Maybe the Pistons won the trade deadline!!!

This is where we
are headed, isn’t it? Power of federal troops is much greater than that of the courts in a society where the institutions of government are not co-equal.

(4) Nolan Ryan pitches/innings/years thrown.
