@dwaynegmason.bsky.social Good to see you here, bud.

What does it mean to be an American now that Donald Trump, the country’s 1st president convicted of criminal felonies, is once again the leader of the free world? WE RISE TOGETHER 💙 #Resist #America #StopTheOligarchy www.salon.com/2025/01/21/i... with @filosia.bsky.social @metafrasis.bsky.social

My FB feed is so full of misinformation from"liberal" sources at the moment. I'm hoping we all settle down a bit, soon, so we can get down to the serious work of resistance. We (i.e. those who see our democracy in serious danger) need to focus on responding to the very real threats.

@paulabyrd.bsky.social hi there!! 👋👋🤗

Thank you @aaronrosspowell.com. Every darn word of this. Please share this post.👇

This kind of good government policy that actually matters in the lives of voters rarely if ever gets attention in the media and when it kicks in, the beneficiaries rarely know why it happened or who to thank, which is how you end up w/the election result in November 🙃

If I was a billionaire and rich enough to be able to pay off debts, mortgages, student loans and medical bills for thousands upon thousands of people - I’d be like the Santa and the Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny all rolled into one! Nice waitress? Here’s 10k. Kid smiled at me on the street? 5k.

Must say I’m genuinely confused by anyone whose main reason to be on any social media is to ‘get followers’ as opposed to ‘discover cool and interesting new people to talk to’.

This is spot on.

My favorite Christmas movie is Monty Python’s “Life of Brian.” I watch it with Jesus every year.

It appears that the person who ratted out this 20-year old Texas abortion patient to the cops was the man who impregnated her, which leads me to my sad but essential reminder: if you are having an abortion in a ban state, tell as few people as possible, and importantly, do not tell your boyfriend.

Donald Trump lost more jobs than any President in history. Joe Biden created more jobs in one term than any President in history. And Trump is going to "save us" from Biden's economy? Facts have no meaning anymore.

Uniforms of Syrian soldiers from the dictator Bashar al-Assad’s army, abandoned as they fled Damascus. A historic image marking the end of the dictator and his army.

If there’s one thing we’ve learned today, it’s that people REALLY hate health insurance companies.

Trump nominated #FBI Dir #KashPatel is thin-skinned. His lawyers just sent me a letter threatening to sue my client @oliviaoftroye.com regarding perceived criticism, which was far tamer than many others have publicly said. Why her?

UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was one of several executives under investigation by the DOJ for insider trading when he was killed. Thompson, plus the UnitedHealth chairman, Chief People Officer, and Chief Accounting Officer had sold a combined $101.5 million in shares.

United healthcare CEO Brian Thompson won’t see your jokes about his assasination (because he’s dead and in hell) but your insurance company CEO friends might…

In June 2024, Elevance Health, the CORPORATE name for Anthem, reported a 24.12% increase in its year-over-year net income to $2.3 billion and a 24.29% increase in its year-over-year net profit margin. ALL ABOUT THE MONEY!

I’m not sure how this got swept under the carpet, but President Biden’s efforts to combat junk fees will likely save Americans more than $20 billion annually. 👀

If you’ve never read this, I would read it today. It is tough, but well worth your time. I know firsthand how powerful mass media can be, and @piperformissouri.bsky.social ‘s dad fell prey to the talking points with tragic consequences, as have so many others. It’s the hardest thing about this era.

Mr. Homan, to be Anne Frank, GFY.

Let’s face it…..billionaires ARE above the law. We’ve known this since Epstein Island. That was the real Billionaire Boys Club. Between that and watching all the charges against Trump get dropped…..the system is to keep us in line…..not then.

Freddy Mercury died of AIDS 33 years ago today. With modern medical technology, he likely would have lived. Never forget how much progress against major infectious disease has been made in a short time. We are at risk now of rolling back much of that progress.

But Trump said he had nothing to do with Project 2025…gee it’s like he lied.

So am I going to need a special button for pasting this text into a quote post every hour for the next four years?

We know MAGA is here. We can't stop them. We can't block/mute every account. But there is something we can do that's incredibly simple and effective. Never ever engage with them. I did it on the old site. Train yourself to see them as spam. MAGA is the new Nigerian Prince. Only dumber. F 'em 4ever.
