If the SAVE Act becomes law and it disenfranchises millions of American women, can we somehow file a class action lawsuit? I am now going through the process of trying to put together a trail showing my name changes and it has been hell trying to get old documents. Some are in county basements.

I thought there were laws against monetizing the office of POTUS.

In responding to a post on Twitter, I keep getting those pop ups claiming it is an automated message. What terms am I trying to use? Racial justice or racial injustice.

They've never cared about workers. That's why they try so hard to bust the unions. I have no idea why blue collar Americans voted for this.

I actually saw a few MAGA accounts today saying that Europe has been the problem all along. All I could think was... WHAT??? My God, what is happening in this country? Can you imagine what the greatest generation would be saying right now? Their sacrifices are being made meaningless.

They've got to make it hurt.

Every day, I wake up and check to see what fresh hell Trump/Musk have unleashed upon our country. My father was a Republican and the most ethical guy I've ever known. He would be crushed to see what his party has become. As a veteran, he would be fighting back.

Congratulations! I will be a grandma for the second time in a few months. It is also a little girl. There is no finer position in the world than that of a grandparent. You've lamented the loss of those cute little kids you used to have running around and now you get to do it all over again ❤️

1. Start a program to provide battered women with a year's rent, a usable vehicle, food/clothing, and childcare for a year so they could start to rebuild their lives.
2. Build mobile shower units to service homeless areas.
3. Build a really cool drive-in theater. There are none in my area anymore.

Here we sit in central Minnesota, without a flake of snow on the ground. It's been cold (just below zero) but not unbearably so. Our youngest son is still wearing his shorts, but we've had to drive our oldest son to and from work. He rides a bike as long as it's above 10 degrees.

Absolutely incorrect. Tariffs are paid by the company importing the product/material. In this case, the tariffs would be paid by the US companies. They will then pass the cost on to the US consumers. If there is a $40k car that is hit by a 25% tariff, it will now cost you $50k. Congratulations.

You are failing to understand that many "American" products are made from imported components. When those raw materials are hit with tariffs, the cost will still be passed on to you, even if the final product was built in the US.

How will tariffs decimate China when we, the American consumers, will be the ones to pay them?

Do you know how tariffs work? Doesn’t seem like you do.

He is not picking people to run government agencies. He is picking people to destroy them. The Russians are rejoicing.

"He's forcing his genitals into women's restrooms."? Why do they have to phrase everything in such a creepy way? Why are they so obsessed with genitals? Just gives me the ick.

He is such a creepy mf. And his relationship with Nestor has always made the hair on the back of my neck tingle.

I wish transphobic people would take a day out of their lives and spend it actually talking with those in the trans community because ignorance breeds fear and hatred. It's harder to hate people once you're faced with the reality that they just want the same basic things in life that you do.

I just don't get it. How could anyone, with even a sliver of moral fiber, protect and want to promote a guy who has sex with underage girls? And what kind of a guy does this and then uses his "son's" Venmo account to pay for it? There just aren't enough degrees of ick.

This is a great list! Thanks!

I would do it but my representative is a bonafide wanker. Voicing my opinion would be equivalent to screaming into the void.

What relevant experience does she have? One year on a state board of education? It’s that white billionaire thing. Oh, you once thought about being a teacher? Ok, you’re the secretary of education. You like Greek food? You’re the ambassador to Greece. What a clown show.

Not playing games with trolls on Bluesky. That's why I left Twitter. Bye

It's looking more and more like Trump is purposefully trying to bring the entire nation to its knees. He is picking people who will completely destroy the integrity of the agencies/offices they lead. With the privilege he has had, why does he hate this country so much?

Those two would be my choices. Booker would be my #1. He is hella smart.

Yep, the only consolation for us here in MN is that we get to keep him.

Same old shit, huh? Walz submitted his separation papers and filed to run for office before his unit had any inkling that they were being deployed. He separated before they got the official notification and had been separated for a year before they actually deployed. Do some research and kick rocks.

If I can find one positive in this election, it's that MN can keep our governor. I had a MAGA tell me that the President/VP don't have to be good people because we don't have to be friends. I disagree because good people surround themselves with other good people. We lost a gem in Walz.

I know that she was 17, but even if she was 18, it's creepy af for a guy in his 30s to go to sex/drug parties with teenage girls. And I still want to know the real story behind his "adopted" son. Does no-one find it weird for his ex to give him custody of her brother? Gaetz is poison.

No, it's really not. Many of us here enjoy a good, respectful debate. The trouble is that y'all aren't interested in actual debates. You just want to troll, preach hate and call people names. You want to send disgusting or threatening dms. If I wanted that, I'd go back to Twitter.
