Guess who just got both the updated COVID vaccine and flu shots today? Your dear Leader Trump. Maybe you should get them too.

The goal of this account must be to get blocked, right? This isn’t Twitter where these ridiculous views get artificially boosted by the billionwire owner.

Not sure what this account is trying to accomplish by following us and commenting.

I repost lots of things on Bluesky to help raise the visibility of things I agree with or think are important. More so than I post original material. But today I have the urge to repost every other thing I see. Is that too much? Perhaps it means I need a social media break.

MANKATO, Minnesota (AP) - Charlie Kirk stood 80 miles from where George Floyd was murdered, faced an overwhelmingly white audience, and declared he was going to say things "no one dares say out loud."
What followed was an avalanche of aspersions and debunked claims about Floyd, the Black man whose death at the hands of a
Minneapolis police officer set off a global reckoning over racial injustice and broad calls for change. But the white conservative agitator had a counter view: Floyd was a "scumbag," he said, unworthy of the attention.

... ... ... ... yes, Marc. I can imagine people on the right like Kirk doing it. Because they absolutely did.

Justin Baragona @justinbaragona.bsky.social · Sep 15

Fox News' Marc Thiessen, without a hint of irony: "Imagine if – we didn’t see this on the right, but imagine if after the George Floyd killing, people had gone on in saying he was a POS and that I’m glad he's dead... do you think anybody would have employed them ever again?!"

My optimism here is limited, but I really hope centrist institutions like universities and major news organizations understand that the plan is for the govt to dismantle them. They do not care if you fire your columnists or discipline staff for accurately quoting Kirk. They just want us all gone.

In a Hitleresque speech, JD Vance says there can be no unity with the left and vows to use the government to dismantle non-profit NGOs and liberal civil society who he says promote violence and terrorism.

I was surprised to see a small flock of pigeons, perhaps 7-10, wheeling repeatedly in formation around the Old North Bridge in Concord this past weekend. Not what I'm used to seeing pigeons do.I guess rural pigeons act differently from urban pigeons.

You can spend time arguing over the difference between shutting down FEMA & rebranding it but the reality is that the Trump admin has already dismantled FEMA to the point that it could not efficiently respond to a relatively small disaster in a state with a relatively large capacity EM system.

This. The Guadalupe River flooding is tragic—but relatively localized. The GOP’s response at every level failed. What happens when a hurricane causes a wider disaster? If this was a warning shot, we’re not ready.

Dr. Samantha Montano @samlmontano.bsky.social · Jul 12

The National media cycle is done with Texas so it doesn’t seem there will be any consequences for the administration.

Noem stays. No one minds Richardson is missing. $100k rule stays in place. The sham review council continues. Weak response from congressional dems.

See yall at the next disaster 🫡

Dr. Samantha Montano @samlmontano.bsky.social · Jul 11

If we do not want to see another death toll like Texas, or worse, this needs to be the moment of intervention by the media and Congress.

We have a long history of holding president’s accountable for their failure in disasters. We need to do that again now.

Training in Maine this past weekend for the Tour de Cure, to support funding research to end diabetes. I'm keeping up with my training, but falling behind on my fundraising. To contribute to this deserving cause please see tour.diabetes.org/participant/.... And here is a seal for your enjoyment.

Two cyclists smile at the camera during a scenic ride through a grassy, green landscape with distant hills and water in the background. Both are wearing helmets, sunglasses, and colorful cycling jerseys—one in red and black, the other in teal and red. The setting appears calm and natural, with a partly cloudy sky and wildflowers along the trail.

Harbor seal with a grey head facing the camera, while baking on a large rock. The rock is surrounded by water, and there are hills faintly visible in the distance beyond the water.

“Nobody could have seen this coming.”

In fact, it was entirely foreseeable. When governments undermine or defund the systems & experts responsible for monitoring environmental and weather conditions, it eliminates warnings and leaves people unnecessarily vulnerable to disaster.
