Because the Resistance is upon the road. Seriously, drive below the speed limit and slow it down. Atheist biologist dotard. My favorite tree is sassafras. I don't know why Bluesky won't let me use emoticons or photographs. Nothing lurid here, I promise.

Thousand of protesters took to the streets in Turkey last night to protest the arrest of Ekrem İmamoğlu, the mayor of Istanbul and Turkish president Erdogan's main rival. Love to see it!

Remember that the Deep State conspiracy myth is rooted in truth. The truth that there is indeed a vast network of kind, progressive people conspiring to improve the world. Let us conspire further in government, in churches, in Kiwanis, in Lions Club, in PTA, in Scouting, in Little League...

It's time to step up our #guerillagardening efforts! www.npr.org/2025/03/21/g...

I can't drive 55 either, Sammy Hagar, and I appreciate your forceful words about the importance of slowing it down. #drivegently

Trump Has Gone From Unconstitutional to Anti-Constitutional. “[Anti-Constitutionalism] rejects the premise that sovereignty lies with the people, that ours is a government of limited and enumerated powers and that the officers of that government are bound by law.”

When did cars get so angry? It's not simply the tailgating because I think the driver has a hand (and a foot) in that, but the furrowed brow headlights and snarling grills on these vehicles are so fierce like they're about play football or something. Please, drive gently, with happier headlights.

We were caught flat-footed at the onset of the pandemic 5 years ago, and again we clumsily but steadily find our way through this crisis. Our wounds will mount, but we will overcome this virulent and deadly administration. We will persist.

Slow it down, and others will follow your lead, especially if there is a double yellow line and there's a school bus right behind you because most cars don't pass them, and a whole line of cars going 45 in a 55 mph zone saves lives and saves energy. Slow it down, like Bob Ross on a tractor.

Mister Blue Sky Please tell us why I can't get my banner or badge or even any images at all to load and all I get instead are muted pastels that look like sad Easter eggs that I left in the drink too long. Is it because I followed 50 people one morning and I'm still on probation? #bskyhelp

Slow it down, because I want all of you beautiful people to get home safely. Slow it down, because driving is almost as dangerous as electing an orange-headed ass clown. Slow it down, because the #Resistance is upon the road. Drive gently.

Slow it down, because they kidnapped Mahmoud Khalil. Slow it down, because we are the lawful ones. Slow it down, because the #Resistance is upon the road. Drive gently, because we are kinder.

🧵Folks told us #Covid just wasn't the time to talk #ClimateChange & to be sure a lot of climate organizations & the most progress we'd ever seen just died on the vine during that time. Last year it was #Housing & #Inequality. This year it's an openly covetous, belligerent & reckless America #cdnpoli

Slow it down, because driving gently is safer for people and animals crossing the street and safer for the air we breathe. Slow it down, because the current administration is reckless with our lives. Slow it down, below the speed limit, because the #Resistance is on the road. #climatechange #EPA

Slow it down, because driving 45 in a 55 mph zone burns a lot less fuel. Slow it down, because petrochemical companies are already swimming in cash. Slow it down, because we are bathing in an atmosphere of carbon. #slowitdown #Resistance

Slow it down, because climate change is real. Driving 45 in a 55 mph zone puts a lot less carbon into the atmosphere. Join the movement and drive slowly. #slowitdown #Resistance

When everyone considers the speed limit the minimum, is driving 5 mph slower an act of civil disobedience? #Resistance #slowitdown
