End electoral college! Social liberal, fiscal conservative, newly-affiliated Democrat. Privileged white woman who embraces "other." Villager! #Rootsistance #Saladarity #GardenParty #Turnip4President

This is what happens when you piss off a few thousand old people who appreciate their rights and RESPECT, rather than abuse, their privileges in this country.

UPDATE! Villages Democrats Club, the Dem Women's Club of the Villages, other members of the Democrat Party, and non-Democrat Villages residents e-mailed and called the authorities - Rec director and sheriff's office, attended a district govt meeting, organized protests. MAGA cancelled the event!

Extremism in Central Florida: The Villages MAGA club hosting a sold-out event 2/28 with some pardoned J6 convicted criminals speaking to 350 people - open to the public. Many Villagers are against this but the Rec Dept refuses to cancel it. villagesmagaclub.org/event/pardon...

Electricity's gone up too already. Down here in Florida, it's almost time to turn the AC back on again, so it's gonna hurt no matter what.

Cool. It'll just demotivate people who might have considered buying Teslas.

Hm, so I could accuse Elon Musk, an immigrant, of being a gang member. They'd have to deport him with no court hearings. He IS a gang member. He's a gang leader. The name of his gang is DOGE and he's already breached the Treasury Department.

probably a great read. Got message that I'm out of free articles. Is that like - one per decade or something? Last time I read a Wired article was over a year ago. It's WHY I don't pay for a subscription.

Hell no. Iowa voted for this. Let them experience what it feels like to find out after fucking around. Meanwhile, tariffs imposed on the USA BY Canada should not apply to California exports to their country, because California voted better.

If only we could hold him accountable for his claim. If he DOES seek retribution, maybe we could seize all his assets, invalidate his passport, deport him, and then place him on a no-fly list.

He probably realizes that most of them won't take the buyout. Here's why: when was the last time you saw trump honor ANY debt?

Since when do people sign their names with pronouns? I've never gotten an e-mail signed by Him Smith. Or Pat (Her) Jones. Or They Rob MacGillicudy.

We tried to help them. They didn't want our help. And THEN they F'ed Around, and F'd Out. Alcoholics, drug addicts, have to sink to their lowest low before they'll realize they have to get THEMSELVES back up again. This is no different. I'm too busy surviving THEIR bad choices to help them.

Yeah, deport them back to North Dakota! That'll learn'em.

I hope he falls into the bottom of it, and they conveniently lose the ropes and ladders to get him back out. He deserves to fail spectacularly.

It's potentially good news, if they a) keep the target narrow, b) don't miss, and c) include the new administration/cabinet in the scope. But right now it's just one country's opinion.

So, now that Schedule F is reinstated, and trump can fire any civil servant he wants to fire, who and whose army are going to tell him that his DOGE has to stand down? Who and whose army will tell Elon Musk that he can't have security clearance?

the president doesn't have the authority to "rename" the Gulf of Mexico. He can order his Administration to refer to it that way, but he *cannot* order its name to be officially changed.

Why not report the ACTUAL news - the facts. Here it is. trump doesn't give a flying fart about the law. He will do what he does, and good riddance to anyone who defies him.

I look forward to your posts every day. You and @jojofromjerz.bsky.social both have such a way with words and can expound so poetically the voice of Democracy 😍

It looks like a funeral procession. As it should. We mourn the loss of a healthy democracy today.

They can look up into the sky at 11:55AM, and notice how the military flyover isn't happening because they're expecting snow, so they cancelled it. MAGA - YOU are being cancelled. Mostly by trump himself. And partly by the weather. thoughts and prayers

So you promote grooming children to value education. You horrible horrible person! The nerve of you! Do you see that spot on the floor? That's me, fainting from shock and horror. The shame of it all.

Why are you telling him what to do? You know any time someone tells him to do something, he does the opposite, right? He has the emotional maturity of a 7-year-old. Tell him that he MUST make sure that all FUTURE presidents have sole authority over nukes - and he'll dismantle that rule promptly.

This is such a disingenuous article. It completely dismisses and obscures the last ACTUAL Women's March, which took place just a few months ago.

This is my monster Lola (El Oh El Ay Lola).

I do not have fur-babies. I have a monster that some people like to call a cat. She sits on my chest and drools on my face when she decides she's hungry at 4 in the morning. She's 13 pounds of drooling, toothless, wet-food-only-eating sloppy nastiness with claws.

Is this where we're supposed to say "thoughts and prayers?" I didn't get any memo yet.

Still not "official" yet, until the Archivist publishes the amendment. He hasn't been ordered to do so yet.

But I'm the Portabello Baby. My old twitter handle avatar was a mushroom that I paintshopped eyes and a smile on. For Christmas I swapped it out with a mushroom wearing a Santa hat. 😀

Around 150 posts and responses I've posted, with around 1500 followers, and following around the same number of people, you'd THINK I wouldn't have had to whine about having no engagement, in order to get engagement! But it's nice to know I'm not shouting into the void anymore, so thanks! :) :)

Bluesky is so far, disappointing. I have over 1500 followers, and 0 engagement with most of my posts. Even my pinned post has only +/- 20 views. I post, I respond to others' posts, and I get nothing. Just lots of anonymous followers who don't really care about anything besides - having followers.

I think trump should march right in to the middle of those fires and show everyone how it's done! Who else thinks that'd be a swell idea?
