Oh this is beautiful and wondrous!
A total lunar eclipse (seen from Earth) is a total solar eclipse seen from the moon.
Here is the “diamond ring” of last night’s eclipse seen by Blue Ghost on the Moon! 🧪

While Trump threatens to invade Canada and his MAGA movement bullies and harasses Canadians and other US allies, Canadians are busy saving USians from burning alive.

As usual, @aoc.bsky.social speaks the truth. The government and the corporate media are now wholly owned subsidiaries of oligarchs. I’d like to add that our Supreme Court is, too, and that’s why Trump didn’t face trial for J6 prior to the election.

I have never understood the totally illogical fear that Republicans have of the S word. Perhaps it's the lack of or misleading political history taught in schools.

Wow. Her voice was shaking, she stumbled over her comments, this was a woman who was afraid rather than a journalist defending the truth.

I now have had too many moments where I open twitter, stop, immediately close the app, and open Bluesky instead.
Like there are now very little reasons to check Twitter anymore tbh. And I deeply love that for me 😌

A mere 4 Republicans can change a vote in the Democrat direction. Not a landslide. Trump, Johnson and Elon should be worried about trying to get radical legislation through...Two years of that should see approval ratings plummet...
Last time Trump won, Republicans had a huge margin in the house, this time…. Not so much

Like me, these guys used to turn to Twitter for news as it happens and respectful conversations. Now it's a cesspit of anger and negativity. Life is too short...
