Was it America First or Argentina First? Somehow there’s $40 billion for Argentina.

Reminder that any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.

#WARNING: The CPSC is warning consumers to immediately stop using TreeCute Infant Walkers. The walkers: fit through a standard doorway, fail to stop at the edge of a step, and have leg openings that allow a child to slip down until the child's head can become entrapped. www.cpsc.gov/Warnings/202...

Yes it will. I have recently been sharing this quote as it seems very pertinent to our times.
"We have it in our power to begin the world over again."
Thomas Paine
This is what is going to be required.

Mal @grannyonthego.bsky.social · 8h

This is absolutely correct. Even for my entire life and I am ~25 yrs older than Pete.
"We have it in our power to begin the world over again."
Thomas Paine
It is time to do so.

Emerging from the darkness of this era will require us to acknowledge that the previous status quo, including many institutions that may have served us well in another era, have been failing for my entire lifetime.

You know, the felon comparing his regime to Hamas is not really the positive, intimidating, power play he thinks it is. SMH

Now we know any information coming from the Pentagon is absolutely propaganda only.
No question about it.

Another $20 billion. That is the face you make when you heist the US taxpayers for $40 billion two weeks before your midterm elections from the most corrupt America Last regime in history.

“The Defense Department has confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America,” the Pentagon Press Association said

Oct. 15, 2025
PENTAGON PRESS ASSOCIATION
STATEMENT
Today, the Defense Department confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America. It did this because reporters would not sign onto a new media policy over its implicit threat of criminalizing national security reporting and exposing those who sign it to potential prosecution.
The Pentagon Press Association's members are still committed to reporting on the U.S. military. But make no mistake, today, Oct. 15, 2025 is a dark day for press freedom that raises concerns about a weakening U.S. commitment to transparency in governance, to public accountability at the Pentagon and to free speech for all.

This administration keeps torching the Hatch Act—propaganda videos in airports, partisan emails on federal servers, even mass firings. It’s corruption with a flag pin. See something? Say something. Expose it through the whistleblower tip line.

If it comes to a point where we cannot dig ourselves out of this hole, please do send help if at all possible. Peacekeepers or whatever is necessary.

Mal @grannyonthego.bsky.social · 1d

Try living here.😮‍💨There is this weird disconnect,where we are forced to go about our lives as our country is falling down around us.While some of us spend our weekends/evenings protesting,some of us are spending so much energy trying to survive,they have no idea what is going on & some don't care. 😢

Mal @grannyonthego.bsky.social · 1d

So, they are failing at making people believe that antifa is a real organization so they have made up a new villan to use as a reason for lethal force against protesters. All protester will now be trying to get the bounties or will be working for the cartels. Right...

Yes your taxes should support disabled people.

They should support homeless people.

They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly.

This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.
