Happy Thanksgiving

Regular people to their kids: "This is America. If you work hard you can be anything you want. Even the President." Billionaires to their kids: "This is America. If you stay rich you can buy anything you want. Even the President."

These were in Alaska a couple summers ago.

One of the things that I am most proud of as a parent is how much of the world we were able to show our children. It truly makes a difference in how you see things when you've actually seen things.

Just had a slog thru Twitter and every other post is an ad for something I'm either disgusted by or would never in a million years want. At least the anti elon memes are still going strong

Apparently the KKK are sending out recruitment fliers. This is in addition to their encouraging people to spy on their neighbours or friends. I know MAGA doesn’t like being compared to fascists in history but this is exactly what the Nazis did in Germany.

They changed the name of Matt Gaetz’ government account. Love to see it. 🍿

I need this!

Fun fact: there was a trans woman in the bathroom I was using today. You’ll never believe what I did next: I pissed. I washed my hands. I nodded to them on the way out, and I went on about my day because I’m not a fucking psychopath who cares what bathroom people use.

What happened here with Don Jr at the SpaceX launch today

Rolling out the red carpet for you. Welcome!

Truth be told, it does seem kind of silly to have the FBI do background checks on presidential appointees when the president is a convicted criminal and an adjudicated digital rapist.

It was years on Twitter for me and I had only just broken 1k. Definitely starting small here

Absolutely love this!

My husband just asked me what all the exasperated sighs were for. It was because I spent 3 minutes doomscrolling twitter. This place is much better for my mental health!

😎 Work smarter not harder! I apologize for what your cat does to you if you ignore their reminder or run out of treats! 😅

I don't want to sound alarmist or anything, but I'm not sure it's a good idea to skip FBI background checks and bury congressional ethics reports about nominees to the most important posts in the federal government.

Be vigilant about keeping abusive right-wing trolls off your accounts by reading replies and blocking. We all have a responsibility to keep this platform from becoming the toxic sewer that the other one is. Don’t look to others, do your part.

There are 90,000 DACA recipients - people who have never known any home but the United States! - in Texas. Thanks to President Biden, they can now purchase healthcare insurance on the ACA Marketplace. If this applies to you, don't wait. Get covered now. www.texastribune.org/2024/11/12/t...

“Yesterday I visited my son's school and I saw a bright colored bench in the yard. I asked if it was new. He said to me, ′′no, that's the ‘friend’s bench.’ When someone is down, they'll sit there so others find them." To me, that’s how finding Bluesky feels. Follow us if you’d like a friend! 💙

🧵So in the flurry of horrifying Trump cabinet picks, some of which drew gasps even from Republicans, you may have missed that Trump has chosen fossil-fuel-loving billionaire North Dakota governor Doug Burgum for Interior Secretary.

Wonderful when Russian State TV praises Trump’s DNI nominee as “our girlfriend Tulsi.”

This is an excellent starter pack!

Sadly the lesson was don't let this happen again yet here we are. When I teach about the Holocaust one of the hardest topics is the bystanders. Did they do what they needed to do to protect their families or were they complicit.

A huge problem is that legit news is behind pay walls and the free stuff is skewed

This was just shared with me. It’s like he’s giving people a head start. I would nuke that shit asap.

I'm new and could use the followers. I loved the snark and community of Twitter until it all went to shit. We really need each other now.
