I need an intervention. I should not go on twitter but my urge to argue with their idiocy is high. Please tell me it is fruitless and I should sit here peacefully on Bluesky.

America's history makes it, I believe, struggle with the coup by Trump and Musk. The War of Independence and the Civil War took devastating tolls on the American psyche. I don't want a repeat of either of these events but there has to be some level of resistance to tyranny.

Excellent description of today’s MAGA-Republican Party. They’re not capable of empathy or compassion. It’s all about the cruelty with them. They give themselves tax breaks while simultaneously cutting key benefits for the American people. It’s shameful and it needs to end.

One year ago today, this man died fighting against corruption and fighting for democracy in Russia. In a world of Trumps, be a Navalny.

I feed sulphur crested cockatoos every afternoon in my backyard and they help keep me sane. Watching them land for their afternoon feed helps me understand how planes work.

Why do Republicans hate their own country so much that they are willing to allow Trump and Musk to burn it to the ground?
