This is something everyone should do immediately.

Hey, @msnbc.com. Why do you allow your readers to share articles on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and most other major platforms — but NOT Bluesky? Asking for nearly 32 million users.

In “I’m on vacation” news, I woke up to the sound of seals barking. Yesterday we say a ton of whales off the beach. Reminders that the world is an amazing place.

I am NOT filing my taxes any time soon.

I don’t understand people that type “n” instead of “and” why not just use “&”? I’m sure my age is showing.

This encapsulates MAGA completely. Not a care for anyone else in the world, only care it it affects them personally. I can’t imagine being that selfish.

Jesus. What is the goal here? To just kill us all?? www.seattletimes.com/nation-world...

It’s wild to be in Mexico and hear people talking around us about how much they love Trump. The disconnect is astounding.

There has to be a better word than inept. I just can’t think of it at the moment.

We need to do better for our kids, Washington State. WA’s young people are struggling — and our leaders are failing them. "How can it be acceptable that 76% of low-income students are unable to do math at grade level? " www.seattletimes.com/opinion/edit...

My late grandparents used to send us a check every year for Valentine's day. In the card, they would say it was so we could buy a "heart-shaped pizza". So that's what we did. We still get one every year, in their honor. It's my favorite pizza of he year.

They want family farms to go bankrupt. So their corporate friends can buy the farms for pennies on the dollar. How did anyone not know this was their plan?? Anyone that thinks this administration would do anything to benefit the "little guy" needs to have their head examined.

Congress is completely shirking their constitutional duty by not getting this absolute menace out of our government. It is beyond unacceptable. sg.news.yahoo.com/elon-musk-do...

Going to get a pre-vacation pedicure today. My husband decided he wants to join me. I of course smiled and acted excited. Inside I was whining "but this is MY time!!" #talesfromanolychild

Advice of the day: Make sure you and your partner are aligned on the importance (or lack thereof) of Valentine's Day. If you care a lot about it, make sure you are with someone that agrees on it's importance. Resentment about this kind of stuff can fester!

Vacation Reading List: 💙📚👀 #booksky

Some elected official should introduce a bill making it a law that any elected, appointed or confirmed official must pass an FBI background check before running for office or taking office. Why isn't this a thing?

The ReThugs are the problem!

Quick question: Is Trump still "under audit"? Is that the excuse for still not releasing his tax returns? Or has he completely given up any pretense and just telling the American people to kick rocks?

So, informing people of the law is worthy of being arrested? We are living in the twilight zone.

These people are in our private data. Cool, cool... nothing can go wrong here. www.theverge.com/news/612865/...

Why am I completely unable to not overpack? 7 nights does not require 14 outfits and 20 pairs of underwear, but here we are, shoving all of that into my suitcase. Along with 5 pairs of shoes and a jacket even though it’s going to be 75 degrees. I’m a mess.

Dude needs to be in a freaking nursing home. www.rawstory.com/donald-trump...

He has completely lost the plot. “I’m still wishing him the best. I’m effectively rooting for him and all the nominees because they’re working for America,” apple.news/AzcUca0CkTrO...

Of course the Democrats will be going to Houston to find and interview voters who were laid off , to ask them what their expectations of the new administration were and how they feel they are doing at the moment. And posting here and everywhere. Right ?

The top health care companies in America spent 95% of their profits to make their CEOs & stockholders obscenely rich. How many Americans would be alive today if those companies spent $2.6 trillion on disease prevention and primary care, instead of stock buybacks and dividends?

So all of these member of congress are perfectly happy screwing their own constituents. Why? Because they don’t think they will need to run for reelection again. They believe as long as they make Trump happy, they will be installed by him in his regime. I’m convinced of this.

"..nine employees were locked out of their Seattle offices and electronic access to EPA systems on Thursday. EPA’s Seattle office is the agency’s headquarters for the region encompassing Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington...the nine are still being paid for now." www.kuow.org/stories/the-...
