Trump's America: Erasing fairness, leadership, compassion, diversity, integrity, emotional maturity, and stability.
This young woman, so full of life and love and promise, deserved the bright future she dreamed of. There will be time for after-actions. But right now, as another soldier who dreamed of being an FBI agent, I'm thinking of her broken-hearted parents, who must have been so proud of her.
National Guard member Sarah Beckstrom was just 20 years old. Thoughts with her family
May she rest in peace.
May she rest in peace.

In DC we had "Snowmaggedon" where you're snowed in for a week and "Carmaggedon" where the Beltway is littered with abandoned vehicles like a disaster movie. Can't adjust to being back in the Midwest where a big snowstorm is cleared by the next morning, I have more groceries than a Mormon prepper.

Peak patriarchy right there. She spent all day in a hot kitchen cooking the turkey and all the sides, got the kids cleaned up, set the table, lit the candles, put on her makeup and pearls, and now she has to look at him like he's the Second Coming for holding a knife.

I hate how Bsky drops big ranty meltdowns into my feed mid-food fight, so I have to go back and do a research project to find out what everybody's got their panties in a knot about.

Ukraine never signed a “Trump peace plan”; no such plan exists. Trump pushed a Russia written proposal and tried to pass it off as his own, it was replaced by a legitimate European framework coordinated with the US. Real peace requires Russia to leave all Ukrainian territory.

This idiotic snarkfest between MMM and Christina Bohannan - 2 degreed professionals with comfortable but not crypto-bro lifestyles- over who's more bougie is so fucking stupid. IDGAF if MMM flies first, she's probably getting free miles upgrades. That's last on my list of reasons she needs to go.

As much as it pains me to say this, ditching Kash helps nobody. His antics are a useful distraction for the Admin. And let's not kid ourselves - his replacement will be less cartoonish but more evil - a Stephen Miller, not a Chris Wray. The FBI has been destroyed and we're not getting it back.

One thing I've always missed since switching from Twitter to Bluesky is the ability to glance at your feed and instantly get a snapshot of what's happening right now in the world. But Bluesky's getting better at that. Whoever JJ McCarthy is, he's doing something very bad right now.
