The censorship algorithm on Twitter reduced our audience by roughly 95%, and seriously, who does that to a wildlife biology & advocacy group ? So we moved šŸ˜‡ over here to BlueSky If you could, please help us regain our following Follow Retweet and Repeat ;-) Together we can change the world.

I’m normally against high taxes but I think we could balance the budget here via a 100-percent levy on morons

As I listen to reports of honoring President Jimmy Carter, I can only imagine the mental gymnastics going on with some who voted for President Trump. Honor vs. hate. Diplomat vs. dictator. Integrity vs. liar. Faith vs. anger. Peace vs. war.

Mike Johnson claimed yesterday that he was reading a prayer written by Thomas Jefferson. Except it wasn't. Historians who are familiar with it say it’s not accurate to attribute it to Jefferson or to suggest he recited it daily. Clown. Show.

OMG, it is fitting.

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public. He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit. Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

Until a member of Congress goes to jail for theft and/or fraud, these offenses are going to keep happening. It is time for us to publicly declare—if by no means accept—that both DOJ and the FBI have no problem whatsoever with politicians defrauding their donors or stealing money from voters. None.

Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry says the only way to defeat evil is with the guy who cheated on all his wives, who was found liable of sexual assault, convicted of 34 felonies, and incited insurrection against America. Sheer hypocritical stupidity.

WATCH: MEMPHIS’ own Theryn Bond tries to set Former Rep. Jack Kingston straight on NEWSMAX, as they continue to insist the New Orleans attack is a border/immigration issue despite the facts šŸ‘‡šŸ½

Jessica: You are telling me that in the last year where we have gotten out over 700,000 people which is the most that we have deported since the year 2010, record seizures of drugs that are supposed to be coming across the border, that this is a wide open border?

70% of the world’s population has universal healthcare, but not the US We are the only highly developed nation without it Our healthcare is twice as expensive as the average wealthy nation US ranks last among industrial nations for deaths that could be prevented with timely access to healthcare

Unranked Washington Huskies šŸ€ convincingly beats # 24 Maryland 75 - 69 tonight. What a game!

TARLOV: ā€œThe guy in New Orleans was an American… this is demonizationā€¦ā€ On Fox, Jessica Tarlov calls out Trump and Republicans for continuing to make New Orleans a border/Immigration issue even as the facts say otherwise.

Liz Cheney was duly honored with the Citizens Presidential Medal today. My hero, defender of the constitution & woman who leads by example- Thank you for standing with truth when the republicans surrounding you were mute, weak and frightened, despite profound personal cost. @lizcheney.bsky.social

You like Trump? Tell us why 24 of his own appointees turn against him? Even his second Secretary of defense says, ā€œI think he’s unfit for office. … He puts himself before country.ā€ www.cnn.com/2023/10/03/p...

Sounds fair to me!

Trumps, Fox, Marge, etc. all immediately rushed to pin New Orleans on immigrants, and Trump lied about the crime rate — but the suspect was a U.S.-born veteran who grew up in Texas, and the crime rate is down. In case facts still matter.

Trump insinuating the truck driver in New Orleans is an immigrant…

John Roberts is very upset that the public has lost confidence in John Roberts and the institution John Roberts leads following a series of confidence-cratering actions by John Roberts and his colleagues, and therefore would like everyone to know that this is not John Roberts' fault, it's yours.

HBO has declined to renew ā€œSesame Streetā€ for new episodes. The series that’s been teaching generations of little kids since 1969 now has no studio. Please consider donating to Sesame Workshop to ensure the residents of 123 Sesame Street are still around to teach kids of all needs and backgrounds.

ā€œWhen old words die out on the tongue, new melodies break forth from the heart; and where the old tracks are lost, new country is revealed with its wonders.ā€ - Rabindranath Tagore, Gitanjali

Never, ever, forget!

If the entire word cut off the phone, TV and their computer on Jan 20- pretty sure our point of protest would get across. Hit them in the area they care about most - RATINGS.

Crazy Kash Patel has been threatening US States against harboring immigrants using America First, Elon Musk is making decisions about our agencies via DOGE. I’d call these quasi governmental agencies/actors. Time for our resister lawyers to draw up some hard hitting FOIA requests!

🧵 AN OPPORTUNITY TO SOLVE A PROBLEM We lost ground—not just w/young Black men, but w/men of all backgrounds. Let’s figure out how to make gains. The party has a listening problem. Showing up 2 weeks before an election won’t cut it. Engagement needs to be year-round, local, focused on real issues.

ā€œThe enemy wants to steal our peace and keep us stirred up, anxious, fearful, upset, and always in a stance of waiting for something terrible to happen at any minute.ā€

On Inauguration Day, I will be looking at the flags flying at half-staff in honor of Jimmy Carter’s life. In passing, he took some glory from Trump! Rest in peace & power, sir. We will keep her, continue to resist, and bring America back to all its glory -soon. Kiss Rosalynn -if that’s a thing! šŸ™šŸ¼

Prime Minister of Poland Donald Tusk and French President Emmanuel Macron mock Donald Trump and then post it on social media

A GOP member of the House DOGE Caucus admitted yesterday that cuts to Social Security and Medicare are "on the table". Don't be fooled: the real mission of DOGE isn't to make government more "efficient". It's to slash the social safety net on behalf of the billionaires.

Let us please continue to pay tribute, to not allow history — and the stories of the victims be forgotten. This account should stand as that memorial. I hope you consider following and amplifying. šŸ•ÆļøšŸ’” #neveragain We must keep the memory of the Holocaust alive.

That’s a true leader. Actions speak so much louder than words.

The incoming Trump Administration is stacked with billionaires. His cabinet’s net worth is greater than the GDP of 169 different countries. Their top priority is a tax cut and they plan to pay for it by gutting Medicare, Medicaid, and privatizing Social Security. Let that sink in for a minute…

How many bananas does Apartheid Clyde need, and now he wants to sack our Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid to become the first trillionaire in the world. We have to fight back against this monster. DO NOT OBEY IN ADVANCE. #Resist

Nobody can ever accuse Jimmy Carter of not having a wicked sense of humoršŸ¤£šŸ˜­šŸ’€

Jimmy Carter leaves a post-White House legacy unlike any other in my lifetime. Statesman. Peacemaker. Author. Servant Leader. Humble. Charitable. Faithful. Devout. Principled. Hard Working. Committed. Prophet for Democracy. Lover of America. #RIPJimmyCarter bittersoutherner.com/feature/2024...

Either that or we need to rebrand MAGA's specific type 'christianity'. Because it has absolutely nothing to do with following Christ.

Made in China.

By nearly every metric, Bidenomics was a roaring success. It would be a mistake to forget the lessons that can be gleaned from the administration’s economic policy.

Jimmy Carter was a national treasure. RIP. #RIPPresidentCarter
