The United States is on fire. Where are the former presidents speaking out? Where are the democrats, who aren't on book tours, why does it feel like nobody is DOING ANYTHING??!! If anything can be done, I don't know.

He deslares himself "King" and what??? Crickets. Mind boggling.

MAYDAY, MAYDAY . . .

Elon Musk spends every day on his platform lying to the American people. He’s unelected, nobody knows what he’s doing, he has HUGE conflicts of interest, and he doesn’t have the authority to cut ANY spending. In a healthy democracy, Musk would be in front Congress answering questions under oath.

Making sure everyone understands: Afrikaners—Elon Musk’s people—built, enforced, and thrived under the apartheid system they created. Not just “white-ruled segregation”—it was systemic racial oppression to keep the white minority in power. They don’t deserve refugee status—they were the oppressors!

Is it just me or is Meta actually kicking people off their platforms for anti-Trump sentiments? It's happened to me all week. First FB, now Threads, which I literally just joined and made one comment on!! What happened to Free Speech??!!

Dear Senator Bill Cassidy, You’re a doctor. A doctor. I mean…come on man, you’re a physician! How could you? Sincerely, Your Former Congressional Colleague

If you are still using FB anyone getting kicked out for no reason?

As of this moment, Canadians are united as one in defiance of tyranny. Americans? Most Americans have no idea that the idiot monster they elected because they forgot to vote has started a massive trade war that will upend their lives.

Happy Black History Month, and yeah, we're still doing that.

The rest of the world is also asking that question!!

Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on “DEI” with zero evidence. He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials. It’s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.

Brig. General Steve Anderson (ret.) urges other retired military to speak out. He asks, are we going to wait until the jack boots are marching in the street and our kids are being enrolled in Trump Youth camps? It’ll be way too late then.

“I coached football long enough to know that, when somebody draws up a playbook, they plan on using it.” @governorwalz.mn.gov We told you. We told you. We told you.

This is becoming absurd—federal employees are now being told to remove pronouns from their email signatures. We will always stand by our commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, no matter how many things we’re asked to delete or change. Inclusivity is at the core of who we are.

So I'm already seeing posts from Trump voters complaining about pricing and cuts etc etc. Can I say too bad, so sad, or do I have to be nice? Thoughts and eye rolls, perhaps?

No foreign power has ever posed as massive and immediate a threat to the United States as the current administration.

First they came for the immigrants, and I spoke out, because I’ve read the damn poem before and I know how it ends.

I don't travel to fascist countries. I never thought I'd have to put the United States of America on that list. Welp. Here we are.

Gotta love the British press.

So far today, we have: - withdrawn from Paris Climate agreement - announced 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada starting February 1 - withdrawn from World Health Organization This is the “stability” you voted for, MAGA?

Maisie is ready for her 1st birthday party!! #cavachons #dogsofbluesky

I hope that one day justice is finally served on Donald Trump. I hope he gets everything he should have. But, sadly, I doubt that will ever happen. And he is now going to bring down the United States and cause unsurmountable damage. It truly is so sad and disheartening to watch.

Well said, Mr. President.

Glad to see Bermuda left out of this, lol!!

Do you think Americans knew they were voting for Elon?

Some currently blooming orchids. #orchids

All of this. Every word of this.

I decided to start watching Schitt’s Creek again, on repeat. For the next four years.

If you don’t think this is exactly what we’re up against, then you haven’t been paying attention.

Grief. It's a funny one. Even after years, loss taps at the soul, reminding you it is still there. Instinct says ignore, avoid, don't deal and it'll go away. It won't. So what if we let it in? Sit with it and hear what it has to say. What it wants us to learn. My current read is bringing up a lot.

Looks like the Cavachon feed could use a little diversity. Here's Maisie. 😂 #cavachons #dogsofbluesky
