The following are accounts I will not follow:

1. Accounts with zero posts
2. Accounts that are nothing but selfies. Vanity isn't my thing.
3. I block accounts that have no info except a link to an outside page they want you to visit. I take these as porn bots.

Christian here. Every word he said I have felt. I hate getting lumped into the same boat as MAGA Christians. I am not that kind of Christian. I am the king that tries to treat all God's children with love and respect.

This Detroit-Seattle game is insane. Now onto the 14th inning. The way this is going, it could end up the longest game in playoff history.

Whoever came up with this, it is great.

Abbott couldn't even help his people when there was a natural disaster when they needed it. Yet he can help the President in another state when they haven't requested it or don't need it.

This is great. Thank you for making me smile. I needed it today.

The snippet left me wondering what the rest of it says. I need the rest of this song.

She said they arrested child pedophiles. If they are so concerned with pedophiles, why haven't they released the Epstein files?

You aren't kidding. Sadly I know some of them and they won't change no matter how bad it gets.

In a country with so much hate and anger these days, Mamdani's words give me hope. America can be better. Hopefully he and others like him are a light to a better America.

These people are delusional. Even when every indicator shows the economy getting worse, they still say everything is fine.

Right! Ignore it like you ignore the Epstein files, healthcare for Americans, due process, the rule of law, swearing in an elected representative, troops being deployed in American cities.

To add to the pain, Vought is saying RIFs of Federal employees will start in 1-2 days. How is that legal?

With Trump sending troops to patrol more cities, I fear there will be bloodshed before it is over.

openandaccepting.bsky.social @openandaccepting.bsky.social · 18d

I know it is easy to despair. It is going to be bad and probably get worse before it gets better.

Just know you are not powerless. You have a voice and need to use it. We all do. Sitting on the sidelines isn't an option if we want to save the country we love

openandaccepting.bsky.social @openandaccepting.bsky.social · 18d

The only ones who can stop him are us. Republicans support whatever he does and Democrats are too feckless to stop him.

My fear is there will be bloodshed before it ends.

Groups like Indivisible, 50501, No Kings, MoveOn, etc. will now be declared terrorist groups because they oppose the administration.

How long before the Supreme Court approves Trump jailing people on bogus charges?

openandaccepting.bsky.social @openandaccepting.bsky.social · 23d

Sadly true. I still have no clue what it will take for some to stop supporting him.

If you don't think boycott or protests work, I give you Jimmy Kimmel. After people cancelled Disney subscriptions & boycotted their parks, they brought him back. It shows if we boycott companies that support Trump and protest in large numbers we can affect change. So, what are you doing?

openandaccepting.bsky.social @openandaccepting.bsky.social · 23d

What is the point of lower courts when the Supreme Court lets Trump do whatever he wants? There will be no guardrails left. We need everyone fighting back.

I don't want to see ICE recruiting commercials during an NFL game.
