Today marks the 100th post I'm making on BlueSky. I dedicate this post to President Jimmy Carter. He proved to be the embodiment of Human Dignity. Sharing my favorite poem, The Desiderata in memory of the rarest humans of our time. 🙏 💙 🦋

Looks like Justice Amy Coney Barrett visited the La Prairie counter at Neiman Marcus and asked for a "Mar-a-Lago" makeover.

"For too long, our leaders have forgotten New Yorkers with disabilities. We have been failed by those with their own agendas, those who care only about holding on to power to remain relevant and serve their own egos." - Quemuel Arroyo

We’re in the second Gilded Age just like the first — when America’s wealth was in the hands of a few, money corrupted politics, and working people were abused and exploited.

It can be easy to feel discouraged, but the first Gilded Age teaches us lessons on how we can fight back.

I still have not gotten an answer as to why Donald would even consider pardoning Ghislane Maxwell. And Biden is not an answer.

A ceasefire takes effect, and Trump immediately uses the moment to trash American leaders in a campaign-style speech—while his regime cracks down on protesters at home and keeps the government shuttered. Watch the MeidasTouch Podcast at 8p ET/5p PT:

News organizations including The New York Times, The Associated Press and the conservative Newsmax television network said Monday they will not sign a Defense Department document about its new press rules, making it likely the Trump administration will evict their reporters from the Pentagon.

If you would have described the traits of hard core MAGAs and Trump ten years ago…. Those very same people would have called those people SNOWFLAKES.

Constantly whining, always the victim, always angry at everyone else.

Trump: "I don't think there's anything that's gonna get me in heaven. I think I'm not maybe heaven bound. I may be in heaven right now as we fly on Air Force One. I'm not sure I'm gonna be able to make heaven."

I was in Chicago.
There is no violence except by ICE & Border patrol.
People are just going about their business of living.
Trumps’ bullshit about Chicago is pure fiction.
Stay strong Chicago. You have a lovely city & we plan on returning!

If Covid was a hoax, why the fuck did Trump get the vaccine today?

And why go to Walter Reed to get it when he has a full medical staff at The White House?

Something smells fishy…

Pam Bondi gets uglier with every clip of her I see. People lying...when everyone knows they are lying...yet they do it anyway...they're the most repulsive thing you can ever see. That feeling of being repulsed...and what you are looking at...when you feel that way...fuse... permanently.

They’re still offering new ICE recruits a $50,000 signing bonus, yet active duty military were seen today lining up at food banks.

Defend your country and you can’t afford to eat.

Terrorize your country and you become rich.
