My wife just asked me to consider no longer posting political content on my social media. Out of fear of our own government. Welcome to Trump’s America. 🤬😭

My Tesla 3 was my favorite car ever. I cried a bit when I said goodbye to it just now. It was really good to us and a great car. Not its fault that Elon went full on Nazi. Take notice #Tesla board of directors. You may yet have a chance to salvage the brand. Or perhaps it is too late.

Bravo, well done Bishop. That being said, the fact that “have mercy” had to be included in her statement, as if asking for mercy from a king, just made it so clear to me, again, that things are very very wrong.

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

I want to both actively ignore him and actively protest and fight. The dissonance! 😩

Bueno saber que por lo menos en Corea del Sur todavía exista la democracia porque por aquí en los EEUU ya no estamos tan seguros de que así sea. 😩

In my happy place, Equipment Room in #ATX, listening to Rush “Moving Pictures” from start to finish off an 80s press of the vinyl. In total ecstasy. 😍 Thanks for joining me @blue4nik.bsky.social

Is there a “starter pack” containing all or most egregious troll accounts that we could use to block them from following us in one fell swoop? #trolls @safety.bsky.app

This letter is basically the best Hegseth recommendation letter that 45 could possibly get. He will read it and immediately double down on the nomination. They are all angry, emotionally crippled, dangerous people and they can’t help but flock together.
goldengateblond.bsky.social shauna @goldengateblond.bsky.social · Nov 30
a man who gets an email like this from his own mother should be legally required to reveal it to every woman he ever meets ever ever
The following is the text of the email that Penelope Hegseth sent to her son, Pete Hegseth, on April 30, 2018, as he was in the middle of divorcing his wife, Samantha. One sentence was redacted by The New York Times for privacy reasons. Son, I have tried to keep quiet about your character and behavior, but after listening to the way you made Samantha feel today, I cannot stay silent. And as a woman and your mother I feel I must speak out.. You are an abuser of women — that is the ugly truth and I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around, and uses women for his own power and ego. You are that man (and have been for years) and as your mother, it pains me and embarrasses me to say that, but it is the sad, sad truth. I am not a saint, far from it.. so don't throw that in my face, but your abuse over the years to women (dishonesty, sleeping around, betrayal, debasing, belittling) needs to be called out. Sam is a good mother and a good person (under the circumstances that you created) and I know deep down you know that. For you to try to label her as "unstable" for your own advantage is despicable and abusive. Is there any sense of decency left in you? She did not ask for or deserve any of what has come to her by your hand. Neither did Meredith. I know you think this is one big competition and that we have taken her side... bunk... we are on the side of good and that is not you. (Go ahead and call me self-righteous, I dont' care) Don't you dare run to her and cry foul that we shared with us... that's what babies do. It's time for someone (I wish it was a strong man) to stand up to your abusive behavior and call it out, especially against women We still love you, but we are broken by your behavior and lack of character. I don't want to write emails like this and never thought I would. If it damages our relationship further, then so be it, but at least I have said my piece. [Redacted] And yes, we are praying for you (and you don't deserve to know how we are praying, so skip the snarky reply) I don't want an answer to this... I don't want to debate with you. You twist and abuse everything I say anyway. But... On behalf of all the women (and I know it's many) you have abused in some way, I say... get some help and take an honest look at yourself... Mom

If we really want to make America “great” we should bring back American Bandstand and Soul Train together as one show and get down again. 💃🏻🕺🏾 🤩🤣

Hope. It’s what’s for dinner. I purchased this to celebrate on Nov 5 but aborted that for obvious reasons. Just tried it now and I can report that it is REALLY good! Sigh. Thanks for a great brew @mbcbrews.bsky.social ! 💪

As a white latino man who grew up in Mexico and benefited and witnessed the equivalent of white privilege in that country, I can tell you that the “proximity to whiteness” delusion is alive and well in our latino communities here and abroad. 😡

The far right religious fanatics that want to inject the Christian Bible into our schools keep referring to it as a “historical document”. It is anything but. It is complete mythology. Valuable as such but still just mythology.

The Texas State Board of Education decision to allow the (optional) teaching of the Christian Bible in some course lessons is the slippery slope towards religious education that cannot stand. (1/2)

I’m liking the laptop and tablet free coffee shop movement. Encourages community and conversation. Plenty of alternatives for those who want to work or study while taking up a seat. A local library being one. #coffee
