🔥 COUNTRY SINGER @bryanandrewsmusic.bsky.social : "You don't get to call yourself a Christian and laugh when families are torn apart — and think it's okay that the highest court in the land just gave a green light to ICE agents to target people because they’re brown or speaking Spanish.”

If you can’t sell your soybeans because of Trump’s tariffs after Argentina stepped in and took your customers, you can take solace that the guy you voted for also just gave $20 billion of your tax dollars to the country that is bankrupting you.

I’m pretty sure they don’t even let you *run* for Congress as a Republican unless you’ve got at least one (1) restraining order from a former girlfriend half your age.

Republican Rep. Cory Mills allegedly threatened to release nude images of a 26-year-old woman and to harm her future boyfriends after she ended their relationship.

Now, a judge just ordered Mills, 45, not to come within 500 feet of the defendant & ruled that she is “a victim of dating violence.”

1. In a major capitulation to Trump, Fenway Health, a center ostensibly dedicated to LGBTQ+ healthcare, has ended its trans care program under 19.

It could have fought for its patients. It chose instead to roll over.

Community members are devastated.

Cool photo, but given millions of TB owners the world over can trace their horses' pedigrees directly back to the Big 3, must we use "believed to be"? I mean DNA, bloodstock registries and whatnot pretty much prove that he IS.

when fox news joins forces with outlets like ABC, CBS, NBC and CNN to tell secretary breakfast gin that no they will *not* get his approval on their reporting, you know we’re through the looking glass www.cnn.com/2025/10/14/p...

Fox signed a joint statement along with
ABC News, CBS News, CNN, and NBC
News that said Hegseth's rules would
"restrict journalists' ability to keep the nation and the world informed of important national security issues."
"The policy is without precedent and threatens core journalistic protections,"
the outlets said.
To underscore: This is Hegseth's own former employer saying he's undermining freedom of the press.

A victory! To leave your loneliness panting behind you on some street corner
while you float free into a cloud of sudden azaleas,
pink petals that have never felt loneliness,
no matter how slowly they fell. - Naomi Shihab Nye
#Poetry #LiteratureSky 💙📚👀

The Rider- Naomi Shihab Nye

A boy told me if he roller-skated fast enough his loneliness couldn't catch up to him,

the best reason I ever heard for trying to be a champion.

What I wonder tonight pedaling hard down King William Street is if it translates to bicycles.

A victory! To leave your loneliness panting behind you on some street corner while you float free into a cloud of sudden azaleas, pink petals that have never felt loneliness, no matter how slowly they fell.
