Why don’t you wear a suit?

Especially after today…

TRUTH (ht @brguest20.bsky.social ty) Ultimate WASTE FRAUD ABUSE

This absolutely broke me. #SlavaUkraine🇺🇦 🧵(1/3)

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

Yes!

Yes

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

How awesome is this?

Amazing bravery!

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.

Today is January 6, the anniversary of the felon/GOP’s violent insurrection trying to stop the peaceful transfer of power in the 2020 election! We remember 140 officers who were injured & those who lost their lives due to the attack on the Capitol! Hold all involved in the insurrection accountable!

Four years ago today, our country faced the largest threat to our democracy and peaceful transfer of power since the Civil War. This attack was premeditated and planned months in advance by violent militia members with close associations with then-President Donald Trump. (1/11)

The attack on our Capitol was an act of domestic terrorism—an unforgivable assault on America. Trump and his MAGA extremists betrayed us all, spitting on the sacred oath our Troops swore to defend and dishonoring the Constitution and the sacrifices of countless Americans.

America commends U.S. Capitol Police Officer Eugene Goodman for his acts of leadership, courage, and self-sacrifice during the insurrection at the U.S Capitol on January 6, 2021. Alone and faced with Trump’s violent mob, Officer Goodman diverted a mass of violent insurrectionists away from the…

Jan 6th is a reminder to me: cowardice spreads like wildfire… this country needs leaders who are willing to tell the people the truth, not pander to lies

I see people musing that the vibe here has changed, and I would urge people to remember that there's a lot of anxiety about the change of administration in two weeks and that's going to leak into a lot of other places in one's life. Be as gracious as you can with yourself and others.

This is a BFD

This terrorist attack in New Orleans took place 5 minutes from my home. Luckily, I was in bed by 11 and no where near Bourbon Street. I hope this will force Nola to take safety more seriously. Crime is taken for granted. I grieve for those lost & their families #nola #terrorism #neworleans #2025

I’m sure others agree

Well would you look at that.

In case you missed it corporations are blatantly bribing the incoming President in broad daylight with donations to his inauguration. It's even being reported on in the corporate media and nobody seems to care. www.cnbc.com/2024/12/24/t...

Merry Christmas from our lovely Scottish Fold, Leo, who santa brought some ears!

It's not possible to always hone in on the crisis. Take time this Holiday to remember what you love, so you will remember why you fight. Self care is an important component of resistance.

The FDIC is funded by the banks themselves, to protect the integrity of the system and public trust they rely upon. This sort of dumbfuckery accomplishes nothing for the sake of no one.

Joe Biden should 100% do this. Women deserve codified equal rights, esp on eve of whatever Trump will do to us. And it would ease the sting of how he glass cliffed Kamala Harris. If Supreme Court tosses, that will only serve to energize this long-overdue effort. www.nytimes.com/live/2024/12...

Why not?

They fixed it

The dark ages are upon us.

We need to stop this. Get government out of the emergency room
