Millions are going without SNAP benefits while Elon Musk dances like an idiot in a room full of cheering people after being awarded a one-trillion dollar pay package. A court ordered the administration to resume SNAP benefits and the US president APPEALED it. This is America. #uspolitics #usnews

I must accept that they are not the same people they were.
Sadder yet, there’s nothing I can do to convince them that they need to reconsider their positions. It is beyond me how they think it was right for Trump and JD to behave the way they did. I’m not sure that they watched it. How could they and still come away with those views?
I’m watching friends on Facebook, once reasonable people who could engage in discussion on matters of the country and come to reasonable conclusions, become so red-pilled that they honestly think Zelenskyy tried to bully Trump, all the while spreading Kremlin talking points. It’s honestly sad.

Nothing says “patriotic” like behaving in a manner which our forefathers and centuries of democratic leaders would take likely arms against, for that matter.
Let’s fire up to 1000 NOAA employees while weather and climate patterns are getting markedly more extreme in the US and while groups who study those trends are already understaffed. 🤡
Nothing says “patriotic” like the mass firing of US workers and weakening our scientific administrations.

Good music made by talented, human, artists will prevail. The tape doesn’t lie.

Th oligarchy arrived sooner and more brazenly than I expected. I thought DT would at least need to be elected first, maybe change some laws, but through spineless congresspeople anything is possible.
The world's richest man managed to take $190 million away from a *child cancer research center* with his posts yesterday. Funding now stripped in the new bill.

So I’m watching Raiders of the Lost Ark on @plutotv.bsky.social and just realized that the intro to Indiana Jones: The Great Circle is basically the same as the intro to the movie. 🤯

After T1MAGEDDON, Gumshoe Gooper seriously considered who he’s represented and what he’ll stand for going forward. The new Gumshoe Gooper, or Newshoes Nooper if you’d like, strongly supports trans rights and no longer associates with Goodtime Valley. #TotallyCanon #StandWithNooper #HypnospaceOutlaw

Asked my 12yo, "What weighs more, a pound of feathers or a pound of bricks?"
Answer: "A pound of feathers, because you have to carry the weight of what you did to those poor birds."
