ROFLMAO 🤣

Dogs just know …

Tuchel plans on holding talks with Ben White to try and lure the defender out of self-imposed international exile. “I will reach out to him,” Tuchel said, promising White a “clean slate”. www.thetimes.com/sport/footba...

Don't Blame Me, I Voted For Harris

Please share so it's not forgotten! 🔄💙

Happy Holidays! 🤣🤣🤣

Dear rebels, if you could email the Tulsi files to the Senate next week, that would be great. Aloha.

For those new to Bluesky I post mostly about Medicaid which is at dire risk of draconian cuts in 2025. There's consensus among GOP leaders in Congress & conservative groups to radically cut Medicaid & Trump himself tried (and failed) to do it in 2017. #healthpolicy ccf.georgetown.edu/2024/08/14/p...

BREAKING NEWS: Trump’s new AG pick, Pam Bondi, received $115,000 USD a MONTH lobbying for Qatar! How many of his cabinet members are foreign agents?

The Tariff Act of 1930 was designed for protectionist trade. It imposed high tariffs on over 20,000 imported goods which led to retaliatory tariffs from other countries. Why am I telling you this? In case you're ever asked "what were the key contributors to the Great Depression?" The mo' you know

“This is an enormous heist. They’re just backing the truck up to the government in front of all of us. A massive bailout to the crypto world,” says @chrislhayes.bsky.social on the GOP crypto bill.

United CEO Andrew Witty gave an address to the company today (leaked to me), telling employees "we guard against...unnecessary care" and that "There are very few people in the history of the U. S. healthcare industry who had a bigger positive effect on American healthcare than Brian [Thompson]."

How clean is the Biden admin? No political appointee of Biden's was indicted or convicted of a crime. And no cabinet officials resigned following accusations of impropriety. That's a remarkable ethical achievement for a presidential administration. washingtonmonthly.com/2024/12/03/n...

I made my first tik tok video, about the relationship between private prison corporations and Donald Trump’s mass deportation agenda. It’s full of primary sources. Video editing is way harder than I thought 😬 check out the full video at the link: www.tiktok.com/t/ZTY5uM61X/

Following up on some posts I was making: I truly believe that the way we teach the Civil War is the reason we were unequipped to handle January 6th and the fallout. Even among “liberal” takes on the war, we are too kind to Confederates. I do not have that problem.

JUST IN:—Rumors that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his Family have now fled the Country.

Before they became ass-kissing sycophants, Trump’s cabinet picks used to speak the truth about him.

WHAT HAPPENED IN SOUTH KOREA? Timeline of the #MartialLaw #SouthKorea 🇰🇷

Remember when, the Trump Administration caved to Big Pharma and broke their promise to enable Medicare drug negotiations? Do not forget it was President Biden and Democrats in Congress who actually got this done!

For me, the thing that knocked the wind out of me with this election is that I dared to believe America would get it right THIS time, that America was ready for a Woman President. It hurt having that blind faith in neighbors, friends, and strangers smacked out of me. Dammit, America. 😞

BINGO!!!💯🎯👍

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

Wait, so you’re telling me that Trump and Vance repeatedly LIED to all of America during the campaign? I’m gobsmacked.

The dangerous alliance between the criminal Kushner and Netanyahu families goes back decades. An excerpt from my book HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT:

Rape is prevalent in the military. Can you imagine how much more prevalent it would be if you put Hegseth in charge? Chilling.

Remember that libraries are proof that not every goddamned thing needs to be “for profit.”

REMINDER: trump does not have a mandate. His margin of victory is itsy-bitsy, teeny-weeny, super small. One of the smallest in HISTORY. Smaller than President Biden's. Smaller than President Obama's. Smaller than Bush's. TINY.

According to Texas AG Ken Paxton, choosing not to advertise on ExTwitter deserves being investigated, and Elon is all for it. Remember when these guys pretended to be for free markets and free speech?

Americans didn’t want another old president so they elected a 78-year-old. Americans wanted to end crime so they elected a criminal. Keep it going lol

Full police report on Hegseth’s sexual assault allegations.

Lee: When Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was up for confirmation or when VP Harris was added to the ticket, they called them DEI hires. They want you to believe that Harvard graduate with over 20 years of experience is not qualified but Fox personality is qualified to run the DOD
