My posts tend to range from current news and random life commentary.
I voted for Kamala, and I’d do it again.

So apparently we’re confirming the existence of aliens once again, and this time we’re making it a point that they’re ‘monitoring’ us. Wonderful, great, that’s absolutely fine.

CAN THEY PLS STEP IN AND HELP THO?! 😭

🚨 News Update: Matt Gaetz has withdrawn from consideration as Attorney General. While this brings relief given the federal investigation into him, it leaves a pressing question: who will be nominated next?

The ICC’s pursuit of this is a bold statement—justice must take precedence over borders, corruption, and violence. It’s time for global accountability. Enough is enough. Whether or not this is a successful pursuit, I think it would still serve as a step towards progress.
ICC issues arrest warrants for Israel's Netanyahu, Gallant and Hamas leader
The International Criminal Court in The Hague said on Thursday that it had issued warrants for the arrest of Hamas leader Mohammed Diab Ibrahim Al-Masri (also known as Mohammed Deif) and Israel's President Benjamin Netanyahu and its former defence minister Yoav Gallant.

Good morning lovely humans!
Snow is in the forecast, which means I get an extra excuse to stay inside today! ❄️
Today I’ll be striving to start focusing on the bigger picture.
So, here’s to a day of acknowledging the complexities of the world and taking them on with curiosity and passion. ☕️💙

“Republicans on the House Ethics Committee fell in line behind GOP leaders and voted not to release the results of their investigation into Donald Trump’s attorney general pick, Matt Gaetz, despite growing calls from the Senate GOP to make the findings public ahead of his confirmation hearing.”

Had two days of feelin good(ish), being productive, and being able to focus and retain information. Guess a few hours of that was too much, today has been a struggle.

The theory that Trump is nominating people who will be intensely loyal to him because they have been cast aside by everyone else feels devastatingly likely.

I open my Bluesky feed and it is full of really cool people saying really smart things and being really passionate about really interesting stuff.

I like this version of social media, and the world.

Thanks, folks.

Exactly this!
Yes! At the risk of being repetitive, the fight for media accountability and against disinformation are among the most important challenges moving forward!

This election result isn’t about policy or platform, it’s about racism, misogyny, lack of education—and a Right-wing media machine that caters to those realities.

How in the hell do you message against that?

The dramatic rise of “political theatre” has drastically undercut the genuine importance of our government and our democracy.
The Morning Joe story is a prime example of how, for many people, politics is just a game—not a meaningful way to improve people’s lives. That’s the real problem that allowed someone like Trump to get elected in the first place. It’s pervasive on both sides, in my opinion.

Gotta add how misinformed or completely uninformed America is. The working class is way too busy being buried in the dirt to get their information from anywhere outside of mass media. There’s more than two sides to this coin, and it’s unfortunately so complex.

People are missing the point, his best friend is in prison for sex trafficking and Gaetz got away with it. Now he's resigned from Congress to hide the report. It's more than just two girls.
The sooner it’s in the public domain, the better for democracy.
An unidentified hacker has gained access to a computer file shared in a secure link among lawyers whose clients have given damaging testimony related to Matt Gaetz, the former Florida congressman who is President-elect Donald J. Trump’s choice to be attorney general.

Leak it.
