This is the fundamental conflict of our time.

Resist any who don’t respect the right to exist.

Mystified how his statement is a reason to not swear her in.

All those boomers out marching were communists antisemites?

She needs to read the room and stop with the ridiculous talking points. It makes her seem dumb.

Restitution to his victims is canceled by the pardon.
It stinks.

They won’t like those stats very much. Alcohol kills. Pot - not so much.

Also, most pot users are used to ignoring unjust laws and flying under the radar. How will they ever enforce such a rule?

I guess we didn’t serve your expectations properly.

Little self absorbed aren’t you Sean?

Go back to twitter with that nonsense.

Good lord.

You admit ignorance. If you spent 30 seconds on this timeline it reveals cats kill over 3 billion birds a year. Outside cats are stunningly destructive.

Rather than making yourself less ignorant you jump straight to some nonsense about being self absorbed. Dick move bud.

Get a life.

I think I understand the many reasons why people believe it's not worth it to phase out fossil fuels, but I also feel exhausted and vaguely insane living my life knowing that while the world seems normal on the surface, the fossil-fuel economy is, right now, breaking the world forever.

The people who he defrauded and who now get zero restitution might object to the notion that justice was served.

6 starters batting less than .200 in the ALCS. They are lucky to still be playing with hitting like that.

Telling everyone what the plan is.

Martial Law and the suspension of Habeas Corpus so anyone can be locked up indefinitely.

Total power.

Trump: "Don't forget I can use the Insurrection Act. 50% of the presidents almost have used that. And that's unquestioned power."

NOAA did not post a CO2 average for September, 2025. Based on all of the available data, CO2 averaged 424.41 ppm for Sept., 2025, a gain of 2.38 ppm from Sept., 2024.

The mean rate of CO2 growth (ppm growth per 3 years) is near an all-time high.

Millions of people (1/50 Americans) including these thick headed folk’s grandparents marched for America and their best response is that the marchers are old and wise? Do they know who votes in America?

How do we open their eyes?

Tim 🇬🇱 @timrote.bsky.social · 1d

This is their mistake in a nutshell - the notion that being anti-Trump necessarily makes you anti-American when the exact opposite is true.

7 million people marched on a Saturday to save America from fascism and Donald Trump because they love America. Not because they don’t.

So over 7 million antifa terrorists fanned out across America today and not one person was arrested.

No Kings!

That’s anarchy for you.

Seattle is further north than Toronto, has a Moose 🫎 for a mascot and is the only team with a Canadian on the roster.

The Mariners are the most Canadian team in baseball.

Fun fact:
Fully half of the oxygen in our atmosphere is produced by phytoplankton. They are fundamental to human (and all) existence that uses oxygen.

Our technology will not replace that O2 so perhaps we shouldn’t wipe out the plankton too.

How much oxygen comes from the ocean?

At least half of the oxygen produced on Earth comes from the ocean, mostly from tiny photosynthesizing plankton. But marine life also uses roughly the same amount of oxygen to breathe, for cellular re...

Fun facts: the Seattle Mariners have more Canadians, live further north than Toronto and feature a moose for their mascot.

Seattle is way more Canadian than Toronto.

He does all that charging and still finds time to create these beautiful exhibits for defense motions.
