Can you imagine being a 79 yr old bully who would rather prosecute political enemies like Letitia James than release the Epstein files? He’s a walking menstrual cramp who is pettier than a pre-pubescent girl waiting for her boobs to pop. Color me not surprised.

Mildly optimistic that there is still some sanity left in the world.

In today’s fast-moving world, it’s harder than ever to sort 𝙛𝙖𝙘𝙩 from 𝙣𝙤𝙞𝙨𝙚.

As someone who wants to be up to date, I know how important it is to pause, check, and think before posting or sharing news content.

A person holds a smartphone while text overlays the image. The heading reads: “PAUSE, VERIFY, AND SHARE responsibly.” Below are four tips in white boxes with red checkmark icons:
Pause before reacting – Headlines and posts are designed to grab attention—read the full article or thread before forming an opinion.
Check the source – Is it reputable? Does it cite evidence? Be wary of sensationalism and anonymous accounts.
Diversify your feed – Follow a range of outlets and voices to get a fuller picture.
Fact-check before sharing – Misinformation spreads fast—be part of the solution.
At the bottom, the name “Mark Gerretsen” appears with a maple leaf icon.

I know things aren't always what they seem but damn from the outside it really does look like this.....

Ken GRIFFITHS @kengriffiths.bsky.social · 2d

Where are the people? Chicago should be out en masse. Other blue states should be out and show support. From outside the country it seems as if folks are supporting or at least tolerant of this. Amazing decline!

Josie Maranda🇨🇦☮️🥸🦫🍁 @josiemaranda.bsky.social · 2d

I'm not si sure they will. Not in their minds anyway.

I don’t think they realize that they will suffer along with the rest of us.
