A lot of current events for me to blog about, and I will later today. But for now, there's the comfort of playing Wordle with all my Bluesky friends. And thanks to some logic & some process of elimination, I was able to solve it in 4. And how did you do? Wordle #1,457 4/6 🟨🟨⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟨🟨⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

In 2024, a center-right friend of mine from a red state said he couldn't vote for a Democrat, & he thought Trump wouldn't be so bad. But now, he took part in a No Kings event today & he says his views on many issues have changed. OK, that's just one person. But I wonder how many others there are. 🤔

No Kings, anti-Trump protests took place nationwide, in cities large and small, in red states and in blue. Some protests were large, some were small; some were serious, some were joyful (and some a combination). But all were peaceful. 👏👏

To the surprise of absolutely nobody, conservative media sources and pundits are all claiming the Minnesota shooter was from the far left, or a Democrat. NO evidence suggests this, but that's the message millions in the right-wing bubble are hearing. 🤦‍♀️

Nothing I like better than a lucky guess that works out! Actually, this was part logic and part lucky guess, but either way, I solved the Wordle in 4. And how did you do? Wordle #1,456 4/6 🟨🟨⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟨🟨⬜ ⬜⬜⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Could someone tell me if this is a joke, or is this an orchestrated effort by Dear Leader to make sure he has big crowds tomorrow? washingtondc.craigslist.org/doc/tlg/d/wa...

I almost solved the Wordle in 3 (which would have been the result of a very lucky guess); but I ended up using process of elimination to solve it in 4. Can't complain about that. And how did you do? Wordle #1,455 4/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟩 ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟩 🟩🟩⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Christopher Purdy, Army vet, quoted in Time Mag. "I guarantee you this wouldn't have happened in Boise... or a red state, or a predominantly white city, and it just says what this Administration is willing to do against communities that disagree with [Trump] politically.” time.com/7293271/vete...

Not a word I was expecting, and it took some logic to figure it out, but I'm glad I was able to solve the Wordle in 4. And how did you do? Wordle #1,454 4/6 ⬜🟩⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟩🟨🟩⬜ 🟩🟩⬜🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

I was never a huge Beach Boys fan, but I did like some of their songs, especially In My Room, God Only Knows, and Fun, Fun, Fun. Brings back memories of a more innocent time. Sorry to hear that the group's leader, Brian Wilson, has passed at age 82. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/11/a...

All the stars aligned, the Wordle gods were pleased, use whatever metaphor you'd like; bottom line: this one seemed much easier than others recently, and I solved it in 3. And how did you do? Wordle #1,453 3/6 🟨🟨⬜🟩⬜ ⬜🟨🟨🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Am I the only one who is horrified that Dear Leader is giving a rally-style speech and encouraging active-duty military to boo Gavin Newsom? Is the military now just another arm of the Trump campaign? How is any of this okay with senior leaders?

Well, this was an improvement. It took some logic, along with one lucky guess, but I ended up solving the Wordle in 4. And how did you do? Wordle #1,452 4/6 ⬜🟩⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟩⬜🟨⬜ 🟨🟩⬜⬜🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Why are these harsh immigration operations only happening in Blue states? You mean there are NO undocumented immigrants working anywhere in South Dakota or Florida or Texas? 🤔
