NEVER FORGET: Trump's corruption was empowered by a Republican Party of mostly old, greedy, white people, who've divided us & cheated to win since Nixon at least. Voter suppression, race-baiting, fear tactics, ballot tampering & smear campaigns began ages ago.

3 black and white photos ganged up vertically. Joseph McCarthy to the left, Newt Gingrich center and Donald Trump on the right.

Honestly, I have always been Mac (I’m old so nigh on 40 years) and I have always hated Windows. Not intuitive enough for me. It would be just the thing to keep my grandkids off the screens.

Los Angeles just declared a state of emergency BECAUSE of these fucking immigration raids.

Absolutely need license, reg, and in CA, proof of insurance.

Barbara McCarren @bmcc724.bsky.social · 1d

Eh check on that. I’ve always been told I had to have (adults have to have) an ID from the DMV, drivers license or just ID. Maybe it’s just CA?

Well the assassination of Minnesota Melissa Hortman and her spouse. Plus the attempt on the lives of a state Senator and his wife, has been accepted the news narrative has moved on. In Trump dictatorship if it is against Dems it is accepted.

There were at least two ceasefires under Biden! In which more than five times as many living Israeli hostages were released in exchange for 240 Palestinians! Has everyone forgotten this?

Coffee Indiana @coffeeindiana.bsky.social · 2d

Also, ceasefires have happened under prior Presidents! The day he gets Palestine their own country he can be told he's the most special boy deserving of a shiny prize.
