I had to put this amaryllis outside as ants suddenly appeared on it. It has stayed this beautiful despite temps in the 20’s for a week. I’m going to be like this amaryllis—hold strong and thrive despite the harsh conditions I find myself in. I—we will survive and thrive.
So, you do see, don't you, the so called "peace plan" Trump admin put together is really actually an occupation plan. Right?
It will come out in drips until suddenly the world realizes Gaza's annexed by Israel & Jared is developing resorts with MBS and the Saudi's

Hi @kenmartin.bsky.social this here is why I stopped donating to Dems. Jefferies is so off base here-Especially this after Trumps attack on the Somali community in MN
The border always was secure-Biden followed asylum laws & THAT was the surge-Jeffries is aping “Dems want open borders” trope here

Jeffries: "The border is secure. That's a good thing. It happened on his watch. He wants to claim credit for it, of course he'll get credit for that. In terms of making sure that we actually deal with the issues that matter, including on immigration, there's a lot that's left to be desired."

@chrislhayes.bsky.social even jokes like this distract from the truth: Trump has early stage dementia. If Biden had done this even once, you all wouldn’t have joked around. You’d have seriously discussed it as a concern. Why aren’t you doing that now????
Hayes: I'll level with you here. I too am a great believer in naps. I do try to avoid them while I'm on air with you. It goes without saying that the 79 year old president is no Thomas Edison

Hey Aaron! You have tons of followers. Say the words. Trump is falling asleep because he is showing signs of dementia. This is common when people have dementia, their circadian rhythms get messed up.
The media is ignoring this. Don't you too.

ugh. Here we go again. Trump has early stage dementia and if you have an account w lots of influence, it's your duty to start pointing out that falling asleep in the middle of a meeting is not a sign of a healthy person who is cognitively sound.
It’s just wild to watch Trump fall asleep constantly in meetings, then he wakes up and calls Joe Biden “sleepy.”

The worst part about the boat strikes - regardless of who ordered what and besides the ultimate tragedy of lives lost - is they’re forever a stain on the dignity of the United States military.
That's why the military has the right to refuse illegal orders. Illegal orders could ruin the military.

Hilarious. But also serious. Trump has early stage dementia and it's rapidly getting worse and the rest of the influencers on this site and the entire media are still playing it like a prank. It's not. Pay attention. He has seriously dangerous people in position in the government.

So tired of seeing these posts like this. Lots of followers. Lots of impact. Still sloughing off the fact that Trump is dozing off in meetings mid day because he's in early stage dementia. He pops alert when he hears his name cause his limited cognition still knows his name, but not a lot else.
Watching that Cabinet meeting Trump dozed off constantly when other people were talking, but every time his name got mentioned he would wake up. Nothing else they said interested him in the slightest, but every time he heard his name he regained consciousness for a second.

Hegseth is very transparently blaming a Navy admiral for his own decision. Let this be a lesson for every other military officer: The Trump administration will issue unlawful orders, then blame you for following them.

The media has failed to pursue this story—why weren’t the two survivors detained? Why weren’t they trotted out for cameras to advertise how powerful Trump & Hegseth think they are? Why haven’t we heard of the two survivors since they were rescued?
Why doesn’t the media follow thru anymore????

If blowing up survivors in the water was the right thing to do because they are “narco-terrorists” (trust us, bro) and deserve no quarter, why did we rescue two other survivors in a different strike, fly them home, and let them go free?

Remember in May when Trump gave asylum to 17 family members of the Sinaloa cartel after making a deal with El Chapo’s son? And did you know in 2013, El Chapo bribed Juan Hernandez- who trump just pardoned - in exchange for protection in Honduras? I’m sure it’s all just a coincidence.
