nativehorse.bsky.social ‪@nativehorse.bsky.social‬ Big, Beautiful Bill = "well, we are all going to die, so let's push millions of you to the front of the line"

This was today… Sotally tober… NYT clearly way off base…

Defending Medicaid Cuts, Ernst Tells Iowans, ‘We All Are Going to Die’ ... then she should go without medical coverage too. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/u...

This is truly unbelievable!

#MindMelodies #MusicChallenge #MusicSky May 31): Awareness Sam Cooke - “A Change is Gonna Come” 🎶 It's been a long A long time coming, but I know A change gon' come Oh yes, it will 🎶 youtu.be/wEBlaMOmKV4?...

Joni Ernst is lying and she is a monster: youtu.be/dDnkAT27hkU?...

Let’s flood social media with images that Pam Bondi wants deleted from the internet. 😂

The Israeli cabinet approved 22 new settlements yesterday. www.reuters.com/world/middle...

A video released by Israeli soldiers shows them using a Palestinian man as a human shield, forcing him to wear military clothing and search homes in Jabalia, northern Gaza.

Blue Sky cleanse: got the herb garden & the sunken annuals garden planted (4 trips to the nursery). Repaired the massive hosta/fern bed that the dog has been relentlessly digging to pursue chipmunks (onion ends, garlic, and coffee grounds help deter both). Major perennial beds work starts tomorrow

www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o.... As usual, Greenberg is spot on

Can someone please tell me whether my posts are getting through? Sorry to be needy but periodically I seem to get silenced.

Wonder how Captain Ketamine got his black eye?

www.nytimes.com/2025/05/29/o.... It’s important to remember that Bowman (now named Vance) was comfortably cocooned in Baghdad’s Green Zone, with every pleasure and zero risk, working as a military JOURNALIST during the Iraq War. He never got near that war’s horrors.

www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/h.... But the federal government will refuse to continue to subsidize the shots.

Another of those days I question whether I am being shadow banned

www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/u.... Well why isn’t the NYT reporting on obvious the use by Don Jr and Trump himself. But, the Times also refuses to report on that of Ronny Jackson or Matt Gaetz

NPR neglected to include that Kerik used the apartment donated as a place for 9/11 emergency workers to rest and clean up as his nest for conducting adulterous trysts. He was filth.

Bernard Kerik, who led NYPD on 9/11 before prison and pardon, has died at 69 Gee…that’s a shame… www.npr.org/2025/05/30/n...

It will be interesting to see the (likely cautious) reaction of John Connolly, Ted Cruz, Chip Roy, and the rest of the Texas Congressional Delegation

Tired? Me too. Quitting? Never.

Accurate AF.

This Is Embarrassing And Disturbing… 🇨🇦🇩🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇩🇰🇳🇱🇫🇷 Canada, Germany, England, Denmark, Netherlands, and France all have travel advisory warnings for visiting America. Let that sink in.

www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-l... Attacking Leonard Leo (bff of Harlan Crow) and the Federalist Society is cutting his own throat. They are the owners of much of Congress as well as the judicial branch. This will be interesting.

For those not familiar, here's the opening paragraph in the Wikipedia entry for the term "remigration," a term which popped up in Europe over a decade ago and until very recently has not been part of the U.S. political discourse. It is NOT a neutral term. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remigra...

These men were building us homes. The violence is being committed by ICE — masked men, no ID, no warrants. Don’t believe the rhetoric being pushed by violent criminals about ‘violent criminals’ cause it’s all BS. Call your Reps and demand they hold hearings, sanctioned or not. This needs to stop.

Trump Is Building a Global Gulag for Immigrants Captured by ICE The U.S. has reportedly explored, sought, or struck deals w/ ~20 countries, including those @StateDept has cited for human rights abuses. My latest w/ @jonahmv.bsky.social for @theintercept.com theintercept.com/2025/05/15/t...

This was caused by Citizens United.
