Pinned tweet from old Twitter acct: Trump infected people long before he got COVID. He infected them with viciousness, with hatred, gave them the disease of callousness and cruelty, thinking you can laugh when someone mocks a disabled person, jeer along when someone insults his political opponent.

I could not love this more!!! I will miss this kind of wit when Colbert is forced out, too scathing for poor widdle Trumpie to withstand. Shouldn't he have more pressing things to worry about running the country than comedians? Like insulting terminally ill Joe Biden on the regular?

50501: The People’s Movement ❌👑 @50501movement.bsky.social · 17h

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

Frog and Toad waited a long time.

Four days later the snail got to Toad's house and gave him the letter from Frog. Toad was very pleased to have it.

@feclad.bsky.social I thought the Brunch Democrat would like to see these brunch plans.

Things to do in the future:

1. Putting them all on trial for crimes against humanity at the Hague

2. Totally reforming entire government to root out corruption and abuse of power so this bullshit never happens again

3. At some point you’d imagine, brunch

2/2 he was out in the back yard. It gets better--the Tom (in his early 20s) was never caught, conveniently, because it turned out he was the son of the local sheriff!!! You could not make this stuff up.

Oh, my! Your situation is different, I'm sure that convict will be caught. We had a poodle back then, not a large one, a miniature poodle. He never once growled when the guy was around--the Tom heard us calling for him so he knew our dog's name, brought him treats and made a friend of him when 1/

2/ Tom when I was in 6th grade, looked out our unlocked screen door at 11 yrs old to see a man standing there looking at me. I've not been able to have open curtains at night for 60 yrs now. Lock the doors indeed--good luck!🙏💙

Have you ever seen nextdoor posts? Social media site linking people in neighborhoods. I read a two year old thread two nights ago about a prowler in my neighborhood and I'm freaked like it's happening now. I live on a cul-de-sac, semi-rural outside a small town. I have a history with a peeping 1/

Wow- nice that the military is being paid.
Did you know a substantial percentage of federal workers are Veterans?
So it's ok to make THEM work for free?🤔

Have you been watching The Gilded Age on HBO? It is spectacular, and horrible. Recent story line-servant for an old-money family invents an alarm clock that brings in enough money for him to leave his post and buy a mansion of his own, wealthy woman he worked for is appalled. Many parallels to now.

Speaker Johnson predicted this will be the longest shutdown ever. @washingtonpost.com
The latest: Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) said today this could be the longest government shutdown on record and that he “won’t negotiate” with Democrats.

Shutdown is the GOP's fault.

Agree to it all, everything you've written. I didn't think you were holding Wayne in higher esteem than Dan, you're good! They are similar in that they were/are not stingy when it comes to showing love for their players. But Dan had love with grit. Blessed to have him as a coach, Super Bowl bound!🦁

It’s a start. Keep making phone calls to keep partisan politics out of airport safety PSAs.
