Elon Musk IS a dick.

Good advice ⬇️

What, Elon Musk telling a lie? I am shocked, shocked, I tell you!

I don't know who needs to hear this, but President Biden is NOT in the White House any more... the three-ring shit show America is witnessing now is 100 percent the result of putting a fucking convicted felon CLOWN and his cowardly cohorts in the White House. trumpflation is UP!

The perfect Calvin & Hobbes panel for this moment

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did.

I’m a little surprised Drumpf didn’t say “And we’ll call it the Trump Gaza Strip” in his proposal to enrich himself & displace 2 million Palestinians.

For all the unfair characterizations of women as being subpar “DEI” hires, most of the BEST managers I've ever reported to were women. I can think of TWO highly-qualified Women in particular who aren't convicted felons who would be a TRILLION times better than the buzzard in the Oval Office.

Anyone who says that money can’t buy happiness has never paid an adoption fee. Have a great Wednesday

Word of the Day is ‘bayard’ (16th century): one who has the supreme self-confidence of ignorance.

squirming rage sacks is the definitive name for containment vessels for cats.

When husband and I first started talking about a US exit plan, I said Canada Husband said if the US gets to the point where we want to leave the country, Canada wouldn’t be safe either bc the US may try to invade it And dammit I think he’s right 😭😭

President Biden, offering unequivocal support for battling the California wildfires without threatening to withhold aid, and no lecture on raking the forest. I will miss President Biden's common sense and decency. 😔

Now THIS is Presidential. Thank you, President Biden! Praying for everyone's safety in the Los Angeles area.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget

Good morning and Happy Wednesday to everyone who agrees that trump's bizarre fixation on taking Greenland, the Panama Canal, and Canada by force is all a distraction because he can't deliver his promise to lower prices. Donald is a deluded, demented, dumbass dipshit.

This Man should be celebrated every January 6th for eternity. Eugene Goodman. Hero.

x X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m. Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app? If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

Well deserved!

No, the reason he is in the US is because he is alying liar who lies,, and doesn't think rules apply to him. He came in illegally on a student visa, without actually being a student.

Love that happy tail wagging

The censorship algorithm on Twitter reduced our audience by roughly 95%, and seriously, who does that to a wildlife biology & advocacy group ? So we moved 😇 over here to BlueSky If you could, please help us regain our following Follow Retweet and Repeat ;-) Together we can change the world.

While devastating for Ann and for the future of a free press and democracy, the irony is delicious here, that Bezos' influence to quash this cartoon spread it like wildfire.

Because it needs to be said, despite propaganda being spread about the terrorist in New Orleans being an immigrant, he was in fact born and raised in Texas and was a US Veteran. Their hopes in using this brutal terror attack to demean immigrants has ended in total failure.

Starting the new year off right - pizza delivered for (a late) breakfast 🍕

I would love some respair in 2025.

Good morning and Happy Tuesday to everyone who agrees that President Carter was the kind of man who lived an exemplary life as a Christian, doing good for others, while others just hurt people and sell expensive Bibles. In a world of Felon 47s, be a Jimmy Carter.🙏

foreseeable result - low income folks will wind up relying on payday loans, or title loans on their cars, and if they cannot pay those, they can no longer get to work.

In 1971, the Jim Crow era was over, but oppression carried on. Jimmy Carter was sworn in as Governor of Georgia. In his Inaugural address, he declared “the time for racial discrimination is over”. President Carter always had the spine to speak up, no matter the cost of the cause. Be like Carter.

All Americans owe DC US Attorney Matthew Graves and his staff a debt of gratitude for their work to prosecute the 1,600 defendants who attacked our Capitol on Jan 6, 2021. Political violence cannot be tolerated. https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/united-states-attorney-matthew-m-graves-step-down-j…

His re-election campaign was also derailed by Reagan secretly dealing with Iran to keep the hostages captive as long as JC was President.

I’m sure he wants the history of it all told his way.

To honor one of the most compassionate Americans we've ever known, consider an act of kindness today, for a loved one or even a stranger, however small. Be the reason someone feels seen today. Sometimes all it takes is a kind word or a sincere gesture. It will make Jimmy smile.

"when his church refused to integrate, he left to help found a new one that welcomed everyone" www.nytimes.com/2024/12/29/o... many lovely factoids I didn't know about Carter, in this eulogy from @nickkristof.bsky.social

Woody Guthrie wrote a song after FDR's death with a refrain that works for Jimmy Carter as well: "This world was lucky to see him born" www.woodyguthrie.org/Lyrics/Dear_...

The alleviation of women's abuse "is made less likely by the mandated subservience of women by Christian fundamentalists. What is especially disappointing...is the docile acceptance by so many strong Christian women of their subjugation & restricted role." - Jimmy Carter (RIP)

RIP Jimmy Carter.

Pretty please.

We are positive you're an asshole.

It feels so strange, being able to sit down and not immediately having a cat settling in my lap. No cat walking on my keyboard when I am trying to work. /end

Finally finished unpacking, feeling settled in. Ready to start looking for a cat. But had to face the reality that I may be uneployed in 1o weeks, and it would be irresponsible to get a cat when I do not know I will have a job, and fear I may wind up moving in with my mother. /3

Moved this May, and have slowly been getting settled. Found out in October that I am being laid off from my job in March - it is being outsourced, 277 jobs disappearing overseas. /2

Been without a cat for 18 months now - 18 year old Scoutie died the day after my husband in June 23. Knew I would have to move, so put off getting a new cat until we were moved and settled wherever we wound up. s/1

and don't think of it as a higher status trade school.
