Also ancestry DNA tests.

Half of the electorate voted for Trump. If nothing else, it’ll be interesting to see how they react when voting for Trump is openly ridiculed.

So so good!!!

I think for Resistance ideas my inspiration will be Amelie m.imdb.com/title/tt0211... #handsoff

Took my old cat to the vet last month for a "wellness visit." Realized later that his rabies shot was out of date. Called the vet. They won't give him the shot unless I pay for a "recheck" for $150 more. Somebody should tell the CVS Minute Clinic about all the money they're leaving on the table.

#handsoff Nashua, NH. I remember being demoralized in October by all of the Trump signs in NH. Trump lost NH, but his supporters are vocal. Today I remembered that we outnumber them! We can be loud, too! Protests matter!

This asshole raised prices and ruined your retirement savings, and now he's out golfing for the rest of the weekend.

Thank you to @dkthomp.bsky.social, who wrote, “The notion that taxing Lesotho gemstones is necessary for the U.S. to add steel jobs in Ohio is so absurd that I briefly lost consciousness in the middle of writing this sentence.” I feel seen.

Making a sign for tomorrow’s protest and trying very hard not to find joy in coloring with markers.

Seeing this map gives me hope. handsoff2025.com

I just tried to call my local bank (twice) with a routine question and nobody answered the phone. In different times I would’ve shrugged it off. Today, I wonder what’s happening there.

Meanwhile, this is happening www.nytimes.com/2025/04/02/u...

This is the most believable explanation for her I can imagine.

I think we should throw birdseed in Tesla parking lots. #TeslaTakedown

Exactly right

We needed a bigger space than him. See you Saturday, April 5th @ 2PM after the Hands Off rally! Family-friendly with activities for kids too. RSVP:

That’s a tall order but at this rate not impossible.

This is very smart www.thebulwark.com/p/how-to-thi...

The fascist view is that pregnant women are good but violence against them is not necessarily bad. www.liberalcurrents.com/guys-win-and...

The problem with educated people is that they don’t scream. Makes ‘em feel crazy. Now, the screaming people are the sane ones.

@bsky.app We need a new way to react to posts. “Like” is way too limiting. How about a JFC emoji? Or a poop emoji with a halo? Something invoking Jesus seems right for these times.

The Massachusetts governor, the city, and the university needs to drop everything to locate and free this girl and make sure this doesn't happen again. This is DEFCON-1. If they do this to someone who wrote an op-ed in a college newspaper, they will do this to anyone they don't like.

We're in deep shit and I have no idea what a person like me is supposed to do. I'm a normie with kids and a job and a dad. I follow rules. What now? Can the tide possibly be reversed?

A person drives drunk (on average) 80 times before getting a DUI. How many classified attack plans have been compromised w/adversaries, vs. US journalists?

According to a source I have at the CIA, Director Radcliffe lied today under oath. Signal is absolutely not loaded on agency computers. As a matter of fact it’s specifically prohibited as an outside app. Skype is allowed for conference calls but not Signal. He’s lying. @markwarner.bsky.social

It’s non-cultists vs. cultists these days

This is the kind of nonviolent protest Gandhi would have supported if there had been a sponsored Easter Egg hunt in his day

Boycott any company that sponsors. Let make sure it’s just Balance of nature, my pillow and relief factor and whatever else Foxnews one

If you request a special order prescription at Walgreens, it’s not linked to your account. The shipment is considered “in stock” and available to anyone who comes in. Don’t computers make it possible to track these things?
