Today was perfect...autumn, chilly, sunny with periods of clouds and drizzle. The wind is currently dancing through the leaves. I love this time of year. It would be better in a thriving democracy.

Setting the record straight. My favorite part was near the end, where Eric Trump said Jack Smith had planted evidence at Mar-a-Lago. Of course, at the time Jack Smith was not yet a Special Council and was working at The Hague convicting war criminals.

“The Fate of Ophelia” by Taylor Swift debuts at #1 on the Hot 100.

Kimberley Johnson @kimberleyjohnson.bsky.social · 17h

But, [email protected] (man) said Taylor's latest album is a drag. 😐

Some men (NOT ALL) sure hate it when women are successful.

Today is Indigenous Peoples Day – a time to honor the 11 sovereign Tribal Nations and robust urban Native communities that continue to enrich our state’s cultural landscape, economy, and heritage.

It was a beautiful morning to celebrate on the shore of Bde Maka Ska.

Old, sick narcissist keeps talking about Heaven. There's only one reason.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

Trump: "I don't think there's anything that's gonna get me in heaven. I think I'm not maybe heaven bound. I may be in heaven right now as we fly on Air Force One. I'm not sure I'm gonna be able to make heaven."

@lmilhon.bsky.social, I was being sarcastic...coming from the point of view of the MAGA nazis.

You simply missed my sarcasm. If you scrolled my feed, you might have realized that.

It’s the Feds making Portland look like a war zone— not the protesters.

And honestly, these protesters are brilliant. They’re flipping the whole authoritarian cosplay on its ass!
