X is throttling content from liberal accounts. @jojofromjerz.bsky.social this is some BS.

When the fuck is the National Strike? That shit would be on and popping if we were in Europe!

Rocky and Tucker having fun as our democracy crumbles.

How in the hell is this anything other than troubling? Elon Musk and his merry band of reverse-Robin Hood assholes are going to ruin us all.

Whew! Now that was a press conference. I see Trump is back to playing his greatest hits.

Anyone remember the right-wing conniption when Michelle Obama tried to get healthier foods in our schools, yet a white man (RFK Jr.) proposes the same and he’s met with roses and accolades?

Racism. Their party is pure racism.

I generally don’t traffic in conspiracies theories or loony mumbo jumbo, but what if Trump’s desire to buyout two million federal workers is so that he can turn over the government to AI systems from all the tech bros who’ve been supporting him?

Is that even possible? I know it sounds crazy.

I’m not going out on the limb yet and calling Trump and his goons Nazis. The history of comparing political offenses to them is beyond problematic and reductive.

I will say with absolute clarity that the “othering” or marginalized groups WAS an early characteristic of Hitler and the Nazi Party.

For years, we’ve sat back as a nation listening to the false outrage and grievances of the GOP.

So now that there are ACTUALLY things to be outraged about and ACTUAL grievances that will impact MILLIONS of lives, where in the hell is the Democratic Party?

Do we even HAVE an opposition party?

Can anyone explain to me what the function of the Democratic Party is today and how it is serving that function?

Are they still around? If so, is there any evidence of that?

What in the ever-loving fuck?

Y’all…this is huge. This is literally Project 2025. Trump and his minions are looking for the country to collapse.

They. Want. Queer. Folks. Dead.

Period. There’s no debate here.

The cruelty is the point.
I know there’s a lot right now. But folks need to understand what this means.

A suspension this long would mean people living with HIV lose their medicine for months. People around the world lose their PrEP for months, putting millions at risk of getting HIV. Drug-resistant strains could emerge.

Dr. Phil is now going on ICE deportation “ride-alongs.”

Don’t tell me the cruelty isn’t the point.

Trump is turning this into a fucking reality television show.

Our country is losing its collective humanity at a frighteningly fast clip.

According to some legal scholars and elected members of Congress, Trump likely has already committed an impeachable offense less than a week into his second term.

Stole this from my friend @stevenhnewton.bsky.social from his Facebook page.

I hate to sound so down about all this, but the deeper we enter this hellscape, the more I truly believe this.

The cruelty IS the point.

Lolol
It's good that there's a 25% tarriff on imported coffee now. This will incentivize people to purchase American coffee, grown in the New Jersey coffee forests
January 26, 2025 at 8:29 PM
Colombia is the second largest exporter of coffee to the United States, supplying more than a quarter of our country’s favorite caffeinated beverage bean.

Expect to pay more for that daily cup now that Trump has imposed tariffs.

Those egg prices go down yet? Are we making America great again?

Getting rid of inspectors general is a bad move. Because it shows the new administration has lots to hide and doesn’t want independent investigators (which is what inspectors general are) finding any of the mess.

This what y’all voted for?

Two of my loves: Jose and Rocky.

Tucker was at daycare when this picture was taken.

Some of you are spending too much time defending Elon Musk and what were clearly two Nazi salutes.

How do we know this? He addressed Germany’s far-right AfG party today (a party steeped in white nationalism and antisemitism), telling them Germany focuses “too much on past guilt.”

Remember when Republicans went ape shit crazy when Biden wouldn’t grant RFK Jr. Secret Service protections during the primary campaign last year?

RFK was not polling incredible numbers and he wasn’t a sitting federal official or employee.

But the GOP lost its mind.

Tucker went to doggy day care so I could work peacefully from home today. And because he likes seeing his friends there from time to time.

Rocky is a homebody. He’s not a big fan of doggy day care. So here he is chilling while I work on the computer.

He’s such good, good boy.

A decade ago, Red Clay teachers negotiated “grading days” in their contract…days where we can do report cards and other professional responsibilities. They have proven wildly popular and we now get four per year.

If you’re a Red Clay teacher, I hope you’re enjoying your day getting all caught up!
