Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Trump’s ex-wife Ivana wasn’t an American citizen until 1988. She gave birth to Don Junior in 1977, Ivanka in 1981, and Eric in 1984. — Let’s cancel their birthright citizenship first.

What the fuck is the point of paying money to a police department if they won’t protect people from hostile masked kidnappers?

It’s insane to think that the Trump administration was more welcoming this week to the Tate brothers than to the President of Ukraine.

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

So pleased you brought this forward @joncooper-us.bsky.social . I just don't have enough of a following to broadcast far and wide.
A new website created by about a dozen federal employees, called “We the Builders,” aims to be a secure outlet for government workers to share stories about how their workplaces are being impacted by DOGE, and a place to explain the real-world impact of its access to government tech systems.

You should print out your Social Security Statement. Elon and who knows how many countless others now have access to your private information, so it'd be wise to have a record of it.

As a wildlife rescuer, I second this and would add local shelters + independent Cat/Dog rescues. Just be sure they are bonafide and not mills.
This is why I give and support my local animal shelter. They rely on community donations and support the animals in our county.
If you're in Northwest Missouri, check out the New Nodaway Humane Society for a new friend. They have several free adoptions right now. www.newnodawayhumanesociety.org
