I'm here to follow friends and family. If you've been blocked, it's not personal, I just don't care about you or anything you may have to say. I'm not terribly friendly, nor am I going to negotiate through shenanigans. You kids get off my yard!

Seems to me that one of the best arguments about how violent our cities are is to ask about more gun control. Just a thought....

Dear NFL, stand strong. The people are counting on you and we provide the ad revenue.

States Rights. States Rights. States Rights. Oh, you have a Democratic Governor? Fuck your rights.

You are not alone. I routinely end up deleting my blueprint for a simple Workshop build. The struggle is real. <sigh>

This by @katmabu.bsky.social is the best speech I've heard yet by any politician about what ICE/Trump/Noem is doing and it's not close.

Can't wait to tell the first merchant that tries to hand me one of these to fuck off and give me anything with Washington, a real President on it, instead.

Not for nothing, but the law says you gotta be two years dead to be on a coin. And also, the law expired in 2016. But whatevs, I guess.

This is apparently being fast-tracked. A die of the $1 Trump coin has reportedly been circulating within the US Mint's Bureau of Engraving and Printing this week. defector.com/treasury-departm...

Hunh. Coincidence that Hegseth brings together the military leadership to spout nonsense on the same day the republicans decide that shutting the government down is good business?

And so the occupation begins. Martial law for all, it's on the way.

The What-About-Ism is strong in this one. It's all he had throughout the whole interview.

I truly wished it mattered. His replacement is no better, and may even be worse. Trump is a lackey mouthpiece and convenient because of his cult. The authors and supporters of Project 2025 are the real cancer we're going to have to deal with when he's gone.

Congratulations ABC, you are complying with the autocracy. Let us know how that goes for you in the long run!

And FTR, I am a supporter of the First Amendment but just because you CAN say something doesn't mean you SHOULD. That's a lesson I've passed down to my son from my parents. Also, gun laws; why does it matter that it wasn't a semi-auto this time? It was still a fucking gun.

@morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social , you don't get to say that ALL speech is covered, even hate speech, after a racist misogynist is killed, months after saying that any anti-Israel speech should be self-censored. That's not how this works. You're either for hate speech or against it. No sidesies.

We've monetized our children's safety and lives. No wonder we can't pass meaningful gun laws.

The effort to keep schools safe from mass shooters has ballooned into a multibillion-dollar industry. Companies are selling school districts assurance with high-tech products.

The school shooting industry is worth billions — and it keeps growing

Two people in my life are dealing with attempted suicide in family members. One is the mother of a trans person, so you can guess what's going on there. if you or a loved harm is considering self-harm, please call 988. Or check your employer's insurance, many offer EAP for mental health services.

Does that mean the Intel plant my taxpayer dollars are funding is going to actually be built in my lifetime? And will I get my taxes back for my contribution to their infrastructure? I mean, Les Wexner sure hasn't volunteered to pay me back.

It doesn't really matter how they change their logo, if they don't get their food to more than tepid I'm still not going back. #Ilikehotfood.

I am not a John Bolton fan but what you are seeing is a despot who didn't like someone saying not nice things about him exacting revenge. It's not retribution, it's revenge. Retribution is based on laws and crimes, revenge is based on petty dicktasters whinging about their detractors.

Donny Deutsch and Joe Scarborough need to stop relating safety to police presence. Focus instead on food, environmental, mental, sexual, and monetary safety. Those will make the need for police less, so then they can focus on true criminals.

President Zelenskyy, don't wear the suit. Don't comply. Hold your ground. Fight for your country, its people, its land. Not all Americans are autocratic shit gibbons (no offense to actual gibbons).

If only Dear Leader would take the money pissed away on the NG and use it to provide homes and appropriate services for the homeless, rather than displacing them.

My prediction, no people that aren't cis, white, males.
