Rex Tillerson said it best. USA: anti-fascist since 1941.

I want to get active on BlueSky. BlueSky Algorithm: please connect me with people who are keen on discussing (in no particular order): politics, democracy, history, skiing, immigration, dance, dogs, public health, astronomy and astrophysics, technology, feminism and women, nature and humor.

No surprise. He's destroying the entire east wing for a f*ing BALLROOM that regular people will never access. He's Mar-a-Lagoing the White House to death.

PSA: Covid cases can be infectious for over a week. A friend with Covid is still testing highly positive on rapid tests after 8 days.

If your rapid test is positive you are still infectious. Stay home, mask up, ventilate indoor spaces so you don’t spread it to others.

Yet another reason to avoid Home Depot like the plague.

For folks asking if they've made it *inside* a Home Depot yet as the business has clearly just continued letting agents do whatever they want in their lots, the answer is yes. This is from yesterday in Evanston.

At my local Home Depot today in Evanston, IL. They abducted 5 people in my immediate area.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 79th day out of the last 91.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

Who thought people like me would ever agree with Rand Paul?

Someone more brilliant than I came up with this, but I wanted to share it with BlueSky. Let's start referring to Trump's in-progress ballroom as the EPSTEIN BALLROOM. What d'ya think?

Elventhing @elventhing.bsky.social · 21h

I am sick of hearing Trump talk down to female journalists who ask questions he doesn't like. His favorite response is "I don't think you understand this at all," practically ending with "little girl." The one thing I agree with Kim Jong-un on is that he is a dotard. And what Rex Tillerson said.

Elventhing @elventhing.bsky.social · 22h

I don't disagree.

Physicist and astronaut Ronald McNair was born #OTD in 1950.

McNair spent about 8 days in space aboard Challenger during STS-41-B in 1984. He was one of the seven crew members who lost their lives in the 1986 Challenger disaster. 🧪 🔭

A photo of Ronald McNair in a blue jumpsuit with NASA and space shuttle mission patches. He is smiling and looking at the camera, with his hands folded and resting on a table in front of him. The suit has quilted shoulders and a black collar. McNair is standing in front of a blue background and a large American flag. There is a model of the space shuttle next to him

In the 1960s and '70s people used to openly refer to police as pigs. I disagree with this terminology for anyone in law enforcement, but it perfectly suits ICE. And although there are probably some exceptions, these people behave like racist scum.

Using only 15 beans sounds scant. I guess the other ingredients must be more plentiful?

"They’re capable of ... almost intelligent behaviors." I'd say there's nothing "almost" about breaking out of physical confinement in search of food.

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

Flying over the Rio Grande and Jemez watersheds demostrated how deeply water connects us. As Governor, I’ll invest in river and watershed restoration to protect our water and sustain our state well into the future. @troutunlimited.bsky.social

Why would anyone believe the promise of a proven liar?

Two years ago Argentina went for the weird guy as president. People said he was like Trump, but smarter. That's arguable, but it's a very low bar.

Exceptional summer weather will continue in the Iberian Peninsula AND increase.
Scorching air from North Africa will push temperatures >35C in Spain.
Dozens of records,including some monthly ones,will be broken and history will be rewritten.
