Aiming to be older & wiser than I was yesterday, everyday. Just a 50-ish, artsy-ish, opinionated-ish, midwestern gal who is afraid that America may no longer be, if it ever was, the America we thought we had and were all promised.

Does he think we're all as dumb as he is? ALL borders are artificial lines, you putz. The US/CA border is straight because it is the 49th parallel (also an artificial line, 49° above the equator) I honestly think he believes the planet looks like a globe. Like, each country is a different color.

He constantly abuses 'nature abhors a vacuum'. The proper response would be a heartfelt statement acknowledging the loss and that more will be known after a full investigation. Not this guy, he has to instantly fill the space with BS and make it official policy. He will fail to meet every moment.

Trump just ripped away Medicaid from millions of Americans. This could get people killed.

so wait...he admits that their (and by extension, his) grandparents and great grandparents did actually commit sins. Yet he's in lock step with the same ideology? Were not buying your BS, Elon. It's not guilt they feel, it's distain. Just like we feel about you.

Guys when Chris Rufo and Trump say "We're destroying DEI, we're salting the earth underneath it" and they're talking about regulations that reach back to 1965, they're not talking about corporate diversity trainings. They are talking about civil rights

I went through Trump's birthright citizenship EO, line-by-flagrantly-unconstitutional-line, to highlight the illegal, the racist, and the just plain incorrect understanding of the constitutional *right* to citizenship. My latest in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/poli...

First, anybody else getting nauseated at seeing him sit at the resolute desk again? Also, a prediction: Tariffs will make prices increase, foreign AND domestic. They may cause US goods to cost less than imports, but goods won't be as cheap as they were before the tariffs were in place. /1

Absolutely disgusting. We're only into the first few hours of what will be a very long 4 years. This administration, with no need to impress voters any more, have unapologetically ripped off the masks. This is only a glimpse of how ugly they are, have always been, and will continue to be.

So Elon's knowledge of how the PA vote counting computers work was effective for Donald's win in PA Is that right? Sounds a bit CRIMINAL. Keep talkin' Donny, tell us what else was 'effective'. And 50.4% of PA voters isn't a landslide. It isn't even "like" a landslide. It isn't even "pretty good".

It's a desert, Mike. A dry, arid, windy desert, which *literally* creates a tinder box and has for millennia. Only 2 things have changed. People live there (LOTS of them) & climate change. In America, we help our people. And the only foolishness is the LACK of policies to combat climate change.

In the last hour, the Bluesky user ticker is currently increasing around 5 users per second. It's been around 1.5, at best, for weeks. People just want to talk to each other. About experiences, dreams, hopes, opinions, news, tips, recipes, gripes, humor, history, pets, family... just talk. 1/3

This is why businessmen make bad presidents. He used his first term to commercialize the office of the presidency (turned it into a product), and will use his second to monetize it (make money from said product). The presidency is now a brand.

Gen X were originally named 'the forgotten generation', and so I ADORE how the post below just skipped us. Gen X doesn't complain, it never got us anywhere. We're scrappy & we adapt, but ONLY when justified, so we don't suffer fools either. And we just want to be left the hell alone. Bravo, Erika.

I wish I'd known about this auction sooner. If only it talked. This plant KNOWS stuff, the secrets it could tell. Brief history: - A Swedish Ivy was gifted to JFK in '61; - it, or rather, it's offspring *still* frequently adorns the Oval Office mantle; - occasionally clippings are given out.

My mother once said: "people who only know how to bark orders don't understand work takes time, they think if 1 woman can make a baby in 9 months, 9 women can do it in a month" His inhumanity is just who he is. But, from putting out fires to counting votes, he refuses to understand work takes time.

So I guess their new talking point is 'someone is only a convicted felon if they serve time behind bars'. *sigh* No. They should just put their goalposts on wheels since they move them so often.

If anything is a distraction, it's this jackass. EVERYONE needs to be informed in emergency situations. CC in real time is horrible. Also, there are a lot of deaf people that cannot read (whole different ableism convo). Get bent.

The language of this headline is infuriating. Stop framing countries (& waterways) as businesses. Not happening: a CEO sending his head of M&A to deliver a 'pitch' to 'acquire' another country for its assets. Is happening: A soon to be dictator threatening WAR to conquer land for its resources.

We have muddied the waters between "facts" and "free expression" so much that the stating of facts is now seen as an opinion.
