That none of these people understand what #communist / #Communist / #communism / #Communism means would be funny if they didn't keep electing lunatics to high office-- lunatics who are destroying life for tens of millions of us, reversing crucial action on the climate crisis, leading us to WW III...

Yest. I had to listen to some 70-ish woman on her phone complnng abt protesters (they don't care that immigrants are murderng Murkans). I got up & said "You fucking ignoramus" quietly 3x as I walked to the opp. side of the room--a waiting room for cancer pts. There's no fkg respite from these loons.

The President of the United States is signaling to his followers that Governor Tim Walz is not a man who can be reasoned with, or a man who should be respected as a duly elected official.

This is exactly the kind of shit that is getting people killed.

"I think the governor of Minnesota is so whacked out, I’m not calling him," Trump told reporters Tuesday aboard Air Force One. "Why would I call him?" he said, adding, "The guy doesn’t have a clue. He’s a, he’s a mess. So, you know, I could be nice and call him, but why waste time?”

Good insight. Thanks.

"trump" and "decent human" in the same sentence? Hahahahahahahahaha.

This is my 1st day back on bsky, and watching MSNBC, after a news break of about 6 weeks. It took only minutes to remember why I stopped. The vileness of scumP and his allies is soul-crushing. Take care.

President Donald Trump said he won't be calling Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz about the shootings of two state lawmakers, saying it would "waste time."

One irony: The *only* thing that might persuade #stephenmiller et al. to change their mind is being summarily #kidnapped and sent to #CECOT -- but a #Dem admin wd never do that, so the #GOP will never understand the consequences of their #fascistic urges / actions.

Not the first time your work (in @theguardian.com, not just Bsky) has made me say "Brilliant!"

Wishing you well.

They're not wearing N95 masks (to protect from disease--which I wear bc of #pancreaticcancer). They're wearing bandanas or balaclavas to obscure thr identity.

If you're doing smthg that makes u want to hide yr identity bc u know others will disapprove, then u're doing smthg shitty--& u know it.

I actually looked online for a copy so I could CE it! (I'm a longtime copy ed, and I was disgusted by the myriad errors and by the inflammatory/unprofessional language.)

@connolly.house.gov, step aside NOW. You're as bad as @schumer.senate.gov.

Neither of you is built for the challenges of this dangerous #GOP & #trump regime; nether of you knows how to respond to it. You're HARMING the nation--& destroying yr reputation.

STEP ASIDE FOR THE GOOD OF #DEMOCRACY.

Dave Weigel @daveweigel.bsky.social · May 7

House Dem Oversight story mostly a farce now. Connolly hasn't said when he'll go so Ds defer on any Qs about replacing him. Non-AOC young Dems keep campaigning (Garcia, Crockett) but the math says Lynch wins.

In meantime, the face of Dem Oversight is an old, ailing man who can't do media hits.

As is every MAGAt. The wounded hv always been ard worldwide, but they didn't hold power here til 40+ yrs of ruinous neoliberal policies created massv suffering & made many Murkans vulnrble to the rage+lies of tea party & then #scump / #maga.

#Slotkin etc. need to stop bashing #progressive policies.

I'm respectfully disagreeing. I think they've weighed the pros and cons of speaking up.

There's something to be said for standing back + letting #scump hang himself. He's losing support among uninformed voters, who helped him win in 2024. That's a good thing.

Thanks for yr piece in @theguardian.com . My challenge is different, but seeing the courage of others is v helpful.

And, seeing your superb clothes + hair + makeup = joy.

Wishing you well. Thanks again.

- I *am* a loved one ( #pancreaticcancer). This sucks.

- Did you see piece abt soft eugenics in @theguardian.com this past weekend? If not, pls check it out. The logical extension of rfkj's thinkng is that even Stephen Hawking didn't deserve to live--only ppl w/ healthy bodies.

I hv #pancreaticcancer. Some w/ this disease are living longer bc of #Folfirinox, a chemo blend that came into being c. 2010--bc of govt-supported med research.

In the coming yrs, ppl w/ this shitty disease won't hv hope, bc new trtmt won't exist. Call #GOP pols & tell them to #SaveMedicalResearch.

@maddow.msnbc.com @stevebenen.com

Hi. Repeatd error: "I appreciate you being here."

In that sntnce, "being" is gerund (noun), so it must be preceded by an article or obj-case pronoun: I appreciate YOUR being here.

Note obj-case pr + noun in "I appreciate YOUR time / YOUR expertise."

Bst wshs.

Trixie Beldame 🇺🇦 🇨🇦 @trixiebeldame.bsky.social · May 5

Completely untrue. You betray a shocking and unfortunate ignorance about punctuation (and therefore about syntax and language). Punc. marks function as do traffic signs; they are tremendously useful.

Do you also think that periods, commas, semis, and colons are interchangeable?
