It’s such a stupid lie because it’s such a small town.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

So, which is it? If this info wasn’t classified, that in itself would be a scandalous screw-up that must be explained. And if it was classified, then the Trump administration lied to Congress and to the American people.

I am seeing a lot of talk on TikTok about requirements to go through your phones and laptops at the boarding coming back into the US, but nothing of that here on Bluesky. Is this true? How is this legal?

The plague of 2025 is emotionally broken men, they need therapy not promotions! Looking at you Donald and Elon.

Every 2-3 days my Instagram becomes a hellscape of MAGA bullshit out of nowhere. At this point is Zuck just trolling?

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

Breaking "the government" and replacing the "deep state" civil servants with AI bots programmed by 20-something right wing Elon fanboys may sound like a great idea until it's time to eat an egg or a chicken sandwich without fear of getting sick, or deal with a hurricane or get on an airplane.

I’m saddened and exhausted. So many people that taught me to love have determined they cannot any longer.

Goodbye Paris. You did me well. Being at UNESCO while the US threatens to leave the UN was embarrassing. Gratefully the Parisians were kind to us in our embarrassment.

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

Am I the only one that sees no downside to choice rank voting other than the cost associated with the tally process? It would trend us for moderate perspectives, am I right?

Grief that it happened is changing to grief of moving on. You realize that it will be hundreds of little moments that stab, not 1 massive breakdown. In my mind, she is still there, we lost someone else, when I come back next the perky smile will be there at the door, “Hi Honey!…”

They never changed to “Freedom Fries” so I’m not worried about holding onto “Gulf of America”.

My mother’s memorial was yesterday. She was a choir & drama teacher. She didn’t have money, she was not affluent, she did not travel the world. But she loved big & loved real. 200+ showed in person to laugh & cry with us. 1500+ attended the live stream. Love is what matters. Love you Mom.
