Arizonan. Thurmond, but no relation to Strom the racist. EXrepublican, Mom, Granny. EXSBaptist, EXMormon and now an Atheist. Gen X. I like nice people who like feeding children, and people who believe in science, and truth. #Pinks #Resist

Everything about Trump is like a rerun of a cancelled show.

Iran and Qatar funded Hamas.

Didn’t Trump do some shady dealings with Iran last time he was in office?

Do you think there is a timing coincidence that Qatar gets an airbase in Idaho and Trump gets a standing ovation and live hostages.

Maybe it’s all just happening so fast I can’t keep track?

WTF is happening?

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

Lawsuits need to dog pile on Trump from every corner of the earth.

Ms Thurmond @shiveringlizard.bsky.social · 17h

Meh. 🫤 he’s a sell out. It couldn’t happen to a better person. I hope he sold a lot of books.

John Bolton, c’mon down…

I don’t really care because he saved all his information for his book instead of trying to save democracy.

Uncertainty over the economy and tariffs is forcing retailers to pull back or delay plans to hire seasonal workers who pack orders at distribution centers, serve shoppers at stores and build holiday displays during the most important selling season of the year.

Uncertainty over the economy and tariffs forces many retailers to be cautious on holiday hiring

A job placement firm forecasts that hiring for the last three months of the year will likely fall to its lowest level since the 2009 recession, or fewer than 500,000 positions.

When you start digging back through history, there have always been extremes in politics. The unique combo that Trump brings to the “build your own shit sandwich buffet” is psycho + ignorant AF = totally unhinged, unpredictable, with zero boundaries. Child rapists obviously struggle with boundaries.

Blame republicans. They could stop this today.

Robert Reich @rbreich.bsky.social · 18h

Billionaire tax cuts are a policy choice.

Cutting healthcare for millions is a policy choice.

Cutting food assistance for children is a policy choice.

Taking from the poor and giving to the rich is a policy choice.

Make no mistake: Trump and the GOP just chose to do this.

Columbus wasn't on a mission to expand scientific understanding. Nor did he "find" a new world. And far from progress, Columbus brought enslavement, genocide, and mass rape. Finally, “Columbus Day” is only 88 years old, it isn't some ancient American tradition.

Indigenous Peoples' Day Must Replace Columbus Day

Columbus was a historical figure who should be studied, not an icon to be honored
