Funny how their argument changed from "it's Healthcare for 'illegals'" to it's fraud. I feel kind of mean saying this, but I don't really care if MAGA voters premiums go up. So far, most of them have been insulted from all the terrible consequences of their vote.

The new "Naked Gun" is on Paramount Plus, it's so funny. It had so many elements from the original. I haven't seen slapstick like this in ages.

Memo to Future Historians: This Is Fascism, and Millions of Us See It

From Chicago to Portland, James Comey to Letitia James, and so much else—this is no longer America.

I like how they gave the Nobel Prize to someone fighting for democracy in Venezuela, instead of someone sinking fishing boats off their coast.

He can blame Democrats for the shutdown if he wants, but he is making the choice to do something that has never happened during previous shutdowns.

From US not DPRK

"President Trump will continue making peace deals, ending wars, and saving lives. He has the heart of a humanitarian, and there will never be anyone like him who can move mountains with the sheer force of his will. The Nobel Committee proved they place politics over peace".

Just bone chilling. And when the imprisonment of critics is combined with his offer to enrich and immunize his loyalists, this is how democracies die fast.

But it's still our choice. Don't let him silence you.

I feel the same way. Thanks to the current president, pretty much everything is "political" now.

Sailing Effie @sailingeffie.bsky.social · 6d

(1 of 4) Last night, someone told me they enjoy following me—but not my political posts. I thought about that a lot today and realized something: what they call “political” isn’t politics to me. It’s about humanity. It’s about who I am.
