I hate to admit it but I've started to repost some things just so my profile page will have some pictures on it. I'm too lazy to figure out how to insert a pic, or a link. Exhausting.

Hey @cali-candace.bsky.social my timeline is getting a little bleak. Time for another picture of Cali that I can retweet to provide a touch of sanity.

And once again, the Dems look like they are blowing an opportunity. When they get these weak concessions and then vote for DHS funding, the administration will simply ignore the constraints and leadership will lose even more credibility, if that is even possible.

I'm sure I'm not the first to post this but it is quite sick that we are threatening to attack Iran because they are killing protesters when ICE is killing and maiming citizens right here in the US, for protesting. Bizarro World.

MAGA will use whatever means necessary, including duct tape to keep tRump together until he completes over half his term. Then they will find a way to discard him so that Vance can take over and still be eligible to run for two terms. Watch this space.

If the next Democratic President doesn't immediately get to work, with Congress, to dismantle all of the oligopolies that have developed in this country, nothing else matters. The corporations have more power than our government at this point. Break them up now. Every day we don't, we will suffer.

I did it, 200 followers! It's 125 insane people and 75 bots. Not bad.

Exciting news, I'm only seven followers away from 200! Yep, I've got 193 followers and only 25 percent of them want to show me naked pics in my DMs. Clearly, I'm a Bluesky superstar.

I need some time in Temecula.
Here’s a pic I took in North San Diego!

Don't take it from me. @balter54.bsky.social
My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

Just when I began to have hope about Democrats after last weeks wins, our Senators cave on the shutdown. I have come to the realization that I have less faith in our ability to win this battle against oligarchy than ever. I left X when Musk bought it and now I'm out on politics completely.

This is correct @realtexaspaul.com
Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.
November 9, 2025 at 11:39 PM
This is correct. @realtexaspaul.com
No! We cannot capitulate! You don't negotiate with terrorists, and I guarantee the pain we'll all experience will be MUCH worse if we bow to the fascists.

This. I'm not saying it's easy for the country, but Congresswoman Jayapal is 100 percent correct @realtexaspaul.com.
Caving on a deal that doesn’t fix health care is, and always has been, a giant betrayal of the American people.

Hold the line. Save health care. I’m a NO on anything that doesn’t extend ACA subsidies.

Today I woke up excited for my move to Virginia or New Jersey where I will find transgender for everyone!

Drove right by one yesterday to shop at my least favorite place in the world, Walmart. They're really no better but I'll get to them next. Also, don't buy Goya.

I hate that Americans are losing their right to free speech. Oh, wait, is that hate speech? Am I going to jail? Call my wife and tell her I always loved her.

Hey @mcuban.bsky.social, the time is right to start your own streaming service/cable network. There is plenty of talent available and to say the demand is pent up would be underselling it. I know it will make some people mad that you actually have the financial ability to do it, but they will watch.

I'm pretty sure that there will be a couple of people that are happy when I'm dead. Maybe up to five. I'm relieved to know that number won't be hundreds of millions.
