There are quite a lot of people who might not make it to 50 without good healthcare, and the more the Republicans deregulate and defund everything that keeps our water clean and our food safe, the more that's true.

I feel like people are sort of sleeping on the US Attorney for EDVA clarifying—to a reporter!—that she did indeed intentionally violate the Federal Records Act by setting the Signal messages to auto-delete

Tanking Black Friday will send shockwaves through the oligarchy and remind them how much power the people have. Obviously we need a general strike too but I think we need to all commit to not consuming for Xmas if you can swing it. Besides we're going to need our $$ for food. Prices⏫ as supply⏬.

Oh it’s not appropriate for your program to air the president wearing a crown and shitting on American citizens?

You’ll talk about it in euphemisms? Maybe call it the “crown video” and ignore the shitting part? Because that’s appropriate?

Tell me, was it appropriate for the president to do it?

The places around me you must pull up and they load boxes into your car. I'd love one where I am ho in and pick and choose. I might have to look at the list again. Maybe some do have that option here.

A nationwide backlash to AI data centers is brewing.

And for good reason: while AI enriches Big Tech CEOs and props up the stock market, data centers are sucking up communities’ water and power.

When the AI bubble bursts, the rest of us will be stuck holding the bag. Be warned.

Suspect she's being intentionally obtuse. Hadn't heard from her in awhile and my life was better then. She's just so thirsty to be relevant.

Yep. We can't eat gluten or dairy so I've been too afraid to go to food banks because it's really likely that we couldn't eat most of what they offer and I didn't know how it'd work if they gave me stuff that could make me sick even touching.

Trump Killed 27 People With No Proof Of A Crime

George Conway 🇺🇸🚫👑🐸 @gtconway.bsky.social · 7d

That's twenty-seven flat-out murders. That's twenty-seven lives taken without even a semblance of a legal justification under domestic or international law.

Since trump posted a video of himself shitting on Americans, I think it's free game now to talk about his incontinence issues.

We're not talking enough about how hated law enforcement and our military are going to be before this is over.

Per CNN, the White House has just issued a two-word response to what may be the largest day of protest in US history—and those two words perfectly encapsulate why No Kings Day exists.

The response from would-be King Donald to outrage over his destruction of our traditions and norms is, "Who cares?"

He would probably even start firing people. Anyone who gets more attention than him is a threat to his narc ego.

Lorie the gardener @loriezinnia.bsky.social · 3d

Ok, hear me out. For future rallies, I say all signs and discussions should highlight Miller Vance noem bondi homan rfk Patel hegseth Duffy etc. the narcissist would lose his shit over being made irrelevant and boy would he show his true self. It cuts off his narc supply and he'd lose it.

Get Jeffries to swear her in stating Johnson has abdicated his position, authority, and coalition for govt and therefore to keep govt working for the people Grivalda is sworn in to work for and represent her people. Watch how fast the GOP preaches about rules laws and norms while adhering to none.
