A boycott for one day ain’t going to cut it. Not after watching Putin’s stooge on the WH berate Zelensky. We are losing this country to evil by the minute.

On her show just now, Rachel Maddow said of Joy Reid's show being cancelled: "I think it is a bad mistake to let her walk out the door." She adds it is "unnerving" to see the network's decision to cancel shows hosted by nonwhite anchors: "That feels indefensible."

Unlike Twitter , @bsky.app has a public firehose that anyone can analyze. The numbers I posted aren’t from bluesky. They are from their party software. If you look at the post, it shows posts, follows, likes. All are real. That’s real transparency

This is government for themselves and no one else. If they don’t like what you’re doing it’s arrest them, charge them, threaten them… these mini dictators/authoritarians are going to damage our country. I pray they all get a big taste of what they’re dishing out after these four years are up.

“Mark my words. … They are going to basically tell the U.S. Marshals Service, do not enforce any of these orders, we will not obey them, … and, once that happens—I hope it doesn't … but I know in my heart that it will—our 236-year experiment … in American constitutionalism, is over.”

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period. I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt. But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

The horrors of this past week reminded me how batshit insane some of the anti-Dem rhetoric online during the election was, and upon reflection I think this was really a stand out performance from Bree.

The right’s response to Bishop Mariann Budde helpfully illustrates the logic of the Last Man. If the right had the strength of their convictions, they would simply reject Christianity and recognize that their nihilistic, power-worshipping movement is anti-Christian. 1/

Exactly why @bsky.app is so important. Engaging on this platform is important. As is growing this platform. Which one of these men joins Tom Anderson and MySoace in the annals of history first ? Their greed is our opportunity.

A genuinely kind & honest man. Condolences to his family. What an amazing life. A leader to be admired for his ability to stay true to his values. A man of peace and love. Historically, he will always be significant not just as POTUS but his devotion to making the world better.#RIPJimmyCarter

Dear USPS how can you deliver something & within 10 min of me attempting to retrieve; it’s not there? Cause it wasn’t delivered! I bet you dropped it at the wrong address. Been trying to call/email or deal w the auto phone system. It’s a circular mess of bureaucracy! Glad it’s insured. What a mess!

Recently took a peek at Twitter and the disinformation is getting substantially more dangerous. Someone could get killed. The tactics of constantly repeating outright lies, targeting specific people, repurposing years-old footage and presenting them as new is getting to another level. It’s scary.

WE ARE STILL IN THIS. Wipe your tears. This is the difficult business of hope and defying expectation. We do not give up. We run through the tape. Y’all aren’t allowed to throw in the towel until I do. 😉 Big breath. Locked in. Let’s do this.

I watched #Conclave last night. It was such an amazing movie. And the twist. So well written and acted. At one point having me inspired and then elated…. Did not see the ending coming. What an amazing movie about something I have known and yet never have known. #movies

Like we subsidize Louisiana, Mississippi, Kentucky, Alabama, and many other red states that get more in federal support than they pay in federal taxes. And the GOP politicians in these states rail against the federal government and the bicoastal elites. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

When they talk about privatizing Veterans’ care and Medicare, they mean allowing companies to provide healthcare for a profit. But how do companies make those profits? By denying care to many who need it. Don’t get fooled by the “privatization” label. It means “for profit” and YOU are the cost.

I truly hope the people are ok. I so pray the rebels are better than their previous government and returns Syria to their former glory. Sadly I’m not sure this is the case.

Some photos I took in the morning at Notre Dame in 2017. The light was dim to protect the historic relics items. You can see how dark it was and to see it now so new… is stunning and makes you think what it must have been like at its beginning. Kudos to all the artisans that made this happen.
