Like many here, I've come across from X. I quite like Bluesky. I see the posts of the folks I follow and not a lot of junk in which I have absolutely no interest. But Bluesky is like a sleepy country town. I'd post stuff over on X and there'd be lots of comments, some good, some bad. Here nothing!!
It's just too fᴜcking late America!!! The time to boo this bozo was last November when you had a quality candidate in Kamala Harris and instead you chose this fool as your president. Suck it up America!!

How could the BOM website revamp cost $86m? Seriously. They generally do a great job. There was a time when today's weather was a better predictor of tomorrow's weather than anything the BOM had to say. Nowadays they'll tell you what the weather will be Tues week.

"Many of them were murderers. Many of them were thrown out of their country because they were criminals," says Donald Trump.
Yeah Donald, like the young woman thrown to the floor by these ICE goons. This is Trump's America. They are welcome to it.

O'DONNELL: Americans have been watching videos of ICE tackling a young mother, tear gas being used in a Chicago residential neighborhood, and the smashing of car windows. Have some of these raids gone too far?
TRUMP: No. I think they haven't gone far enough.

President Trump:
I think Putin wants to come in and he wants to trade with us and he wants to make a lot of money for Russia, and I think that's great. That's what I like.
I think we're going to get it done, yeah. I think he really wants to do business with the U.S.

Australia is literally keeping Israel’s F35 fighter jets flying and bombing by sending dozens and dozens of parts directly to Israel since the genocide began.
This is actively supporting a genocide. It is criminal.

Atwood’s “The Handmaid’s Tale" is a portend of Trump's America. Sure, there are differences but you only have to see Kirk's memorial service to see the amalgamation of right-wing Christian populism and the MAGA movement. It's an America that's authoritarian, puritanical, militarized and oppressive.
