It’s ok to grieve the loss of a country you knew. It’s ok to weep at the thought of the place you called home becoming a place of danger. Listen to your grief. Hold it. Then chart a path for LIVING in the best way you can. Finding light. Accessing joy. Remembering to breathe—we will find our way.

Things appear to be going swimmingly over on Twitter. I'd like to point out, however, that Elon illegally overstayed a student visa - he didn't have an H1B. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Some cowardly Dems in Congress might be bending the knee, but we continue to hold to our values, our fight for human and civil rights.

Who woke up this morning not caring one bit about anyone else’s genitalia, who they’re married to, what sex they identify as, and what they do in their bedrooms?

Because none of that will lower the cost of your fekking eggs or raise your wages.

It shouldn’t be ignored that Kash Patel chose to plead the Fifth in response to a grand jury subpoena over the Mar-a-Lago classified documents.
He only testified, involuntarily, after being granted immunity.
Think about that. Trump’s FBI nominee pled the Fifth in response to a DOJ subpoena.

📌The station has no sense of itself and what it should be doing. If you asked 50 different staffers what its mission statement is, I bet you'd get 50 different answers.
📌Right now this much is true: MSNBC is failing miserably.

If you’re wondering how the media has failed us, look to how much attention they’re giving Hunter’s pardon and how little attention they gave to all the people Trump pardoned.

Hunter maintaining his sobriety the past 4 yrs despite the guilt he must feel over his addiction being weaponized against the one person who has loved him unconditionally, even in his darkest days, has me emotional. I hope one day Hunter can find the love for himself that his father has for him…

It is so refreshing to be able to type white people, instead of whyte people, when I am trying to point out systemic racism in my own demographic and not be told that I am engaging in hate speech. Screw Zuck and Elon.

Why Does No One Understand the Real Reason Trump Won?
It wasn’t the economy. It wasn’t inflation, or anything else. It was how people perceive those things, which points to one overpowering answer.

SCOTUS was bent on protecting Trump no matter what. They’re the ones who sat on the case for half a year then gave him sweeping immunity. They’re the ultimate reason Trump couldn’t be brought to justice. Shameful.

Maga who believe Dems need Bluesky for a safe space or echo chamber are missing the entire point. We aren't hiding. We are waiting. Waiting for you to get exactly what you voted for. And then we will be back. For the midterms. 😘

The Constitutional method for dealing with a criminal president is House impeachment and Senate removal. Our system was not designed to need prosecution from DoJ. It is the Repubs who would not vote to remove after 2 impeachments. Blame Mitch, not Jack Smith. This should have ended in 2021.

Truth. Thirty years ago I interviewed some Holocaust survivors. I heard them tell me the same thing. Stanley Milgram showed the academic world how easy it was to get people to treat others horribly. Later, Philip Zimbardo did the same thing.
