He nails it.

“Zelensky survived a dozen Russian assassination attempts including a special forces assault on his presidential complex.He stood up to Trump. I’m sure he’ll be deeply impressed to learn our Congressional Republicans live as terrified hostages of their own party leader.” ~ @michaeldweiss.bsky.social

I repeat…

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

Listen to me Martha Radditz. You cannot just poll Americans and ask them if they want foreign aid stopped. Number 1, they don't understand what foreign aid is for; and number 2 they don't understand what a small part of the budget it is. They're idiots. Don't ask them until you inform them first.

True.

The Black Hawk helicopter pilot killed in yesterday’s mid-air collision has been identified as Andrew Eaves. Carrie Eaves, his wife, posted on Facebook to announce the news. ‘We ask that you pray for our family and friends and for all the other families that are suffering today,’🙏 RIP

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone here at Bluesky for the follows and the conversations and the constructive, substantive interaction. It's a great forum, a great resource for circulating and talking about the news, and -- most of all -- a pleasure. I'm grateful!

If you constantly attack America’s allies while defending America’s enemies, chances are good you’re the enemy, too.

This is it in a nut shell 🦋

I've said this a few times today as a part of some sarcastic commentary, but I want to state unequivocally: Matt Gaetz is NOT accused of having sex with a minor He is accused of paying a sex trafficker, who is IN PRISON RIGHT NOW for trafficking her, AND raping that underage victim

We are asking Ukrainians to defeat the armies of Putin and Kim Jong Un. In their efforts to do so, Ukrainians helped bring down Assad. Ukrainian resistance is one of the most stunning military achievements in modern history.

Homeboy stopped the wrong lady (H/T @agirlhasnopres.bsky.social )

ugh

I realize you are still you, and I am still me. We are going to be ok. That doesn't mean I am not pissed and disgusted at the unnecessary fights we are about to have just to save our country. We COULD have been spending this time and energy making this a better place. I will never forgive this.

pete hegseth doesn't want women to serve in combat roles yet he has his mother out here fighting his battles....

Why is it called gerrymandering instead of cheating?

If you’re afraid that books might change someone’s thinking, you’re not afraid of books, you’re afraid of thinking.

CARTOON OF THE DAY

Just watch me.

No mother “accidentally” tells her son he’s a piece of shit when it comes to women.

Good advice to everyone on BlueSky

Good morning and Happy Saturday to everyone who agrees that everyone nominated to trump's cabinet should be subjected to an extensive FBI probe, as a matter of national security. The more shady details in their background, the more prone to blackmail they are, the less safe we'll be.

GoodbyeTwitter. I’ve officially deactivated my account after 9+ yrs. I met & engaged w/so many intelligent & interesting ppl - many of whom I’ve met irl. I’m happy so many of us have found BS to continue that dialogue & camaraderie. It was hard to give up Twitter if it meant losing all of you.

America- you got it wrong. Happy Thanksgiving to 48% of you that aren’t morons

Just sitting here thinking about all those paycheck to paycheck folks who elected a billionaire who put other billionaires in charge of taking shit away from paycheck to paycheck folks, so they can make more billions.

“But the eggs were just so expensive.”

We will never forget.

Republican Jesus. From the Book of MAGA.

Regular people to their kids: "This is America. If you work hard you can be anything you want. Even the President." Billionaires to their kids: "This is America. If you stay rich you can buy anything you want. Even the President."

All I want for Christmas is for Twitter to keep bleeding away millions of users every day to Bluesky until Twitter is nothing more than a bigger, emptier, Truth Social shithole. Manifest THAT. 🙏🎁

Every single member of congress has their own private bathroom. Regardless of your position, this is nothing but performance art.

Maybe it’s me, maybe I’m old fashioned, but I’m pretty sure our president shouldn’t be a rapist, our DNI shouldn’t be on a TSA watchlist list and our head of counterintelligence should probably be able to pass a background check. Right?

I watched every season of Law & Order SVU and I took the LSAT. I am prepared to lead the Department of Justice 🫡

Threads is an echo chamber on the left, Twitter on the Right, I hope this stays a sane normal place where some disagreement can be politely explored. Too much to ask??

Sorry MSNBC, but don’t be surprised by the mass exodus (38% decline) of your viewers since the election. I used to watch your network when you provided a progressive counterpoint to Fox. But when you minimized negative news coverage of Trump and amplified it for Harris, you lost me.

As long as everyone washes their hands, I’m good.

Alright folks, for the first time on BlueSky, here we go! Ask me anything, 30ish mins, gogo!

I’m trying to strike a healthy balance between being informed and being oblivious.

"Yes she is corrupt but she isn't Matt Gaetz" is the strongest endorsement I've heard so far for Pam Bondi's AG nomination.

Many things are disgusting about Nancy Mace. But the one I keep coming back to is her pretending to speak for survivors when she punches down on our most vulnerable. That is just abhorrent.

So true. 💯

The United States will be Trump’s 7th bankruptcy.

Trump told his team that he wanted to fill all of his cabinet positions with like-minded individuals, so they went out and found all the sexual assaulters, pedophiles, and human traffickers that they could.

Anyone else remember when Dr. Oz said that it was fine for 2–3% of schoolchildren to die? Yeah, he’s in charge of Medicaid and Medicare now.
