We should declare 2025 the year of pockets. All outfit choices should include pockets. Pockets are for snacks.

Agreed, solid dad joke.

How do you find Will Smith in the snow?

Dear #Ukraine,

Most Americans are appalled by 45's behavior, which does not reflect our nation's true sentiments.

We stand with you in solidarity.

We recognize the injustice you face.

45's actions are a stain on our diplomacy, but they do not define our collective heart.

45's meeting with the Ukrainian president where America became allies with Russia and against democracy throughout the world.

Marjorie Taylor Greene says federal workers "don’t deserve their jobs or paychecks"

She still collects the taxpayer-funded $174K salary to spew nonsense.

If federal jobs aren’t “real,” does that include hers?

Or is hypocrisy just another government benefit?

#MTG #Cuts #DOGE #PresidentElon

Marjorie Taylor Greene is doing her best to become legendary as the dumbest representative to ever be elected to the House. Fair use image.

I've eaten lots of this, and lots of versions of this. It is highly adaptable to what you can get a hold of.

I say they are already late to the game, but I'm glad they are starting to get word and show up.

Hopefully, they will do the required reading of Project 2025, and show up to class with notes.

45 claimed Volodymyr Zelenskyy was a dictator.

IMMEDIATELY GOT OUTPLAYED

Zelenskyy offered to step down as president for peace, NATO membership and to stop Putin’s invasion.

One fights for democracy, the other licks Putin’s boots.

Excellent response!

45’s alleged 1987 KGB codename “Krasnov” from his meeting with the #KGB during a "scouting trip for a "hotel".

The Daily Beast published, then yanked, the story; No word yet.

The GOP’s top guy has been bowing to #Russia for decades.

At what point do we just call it what it is?

45’s #WhiteHouse declaring “Long live the king” isn’t just a meme.

It’s a warning.

This wannabe #dictator SCREAMING his intentions; his cult cheers as democracy burns.

America fought a revolution to escape a #king.

The #GOP crowns one.

If this doesn’t terrify you, you’re not paying attention.

The image depicts a golden crown placed on a table with a courtyard and a castle in the background.

We're proud of you, Senator. Keep fighting loud and clear; rally the others and convince them to stand with you!

National News Breakdown @mrbouverette.bsky.social · Feb 21

Fuck that! Why don't they reinstate government employees because the House controls the budget and the purse, and the firings were unlawful?

Congress needs to find their spines and grow a pair.

Accountability? Deleted.

45 just killed the National Law Enforcement Accountability Database, erasing records of police misconduct.

What we can't see can't hurt us, right?

Wrong.

Blind trust isn’t trust, it’s surrender.

And that’s exactly the point.

Please stay safe and, if possible, STAY OUT OF THE AIR!

With aviation safety standards deteriorating and multiple crashes in just weeks, it's clear that flying is dangerous.

The consequences of staff cuts and deregulation are showing.

Take care, stay grounded if you can, and be safe. ✈️⚠️

I agree, as per usual.

One advantage we have is that 45's incompetence will bring with it fast and dramatic negative results.

45's supporters will feel the consequences of 45's actions.

This change will NOT happen gradually, but within weeks.

This will split his following.

Glad to see some pushback. About time they start catching up.

Can we make a congressional law that all Dems come to class here on BlueSky?

They are taking us back 100 years!

Not only for LGBTQ+ community but for marriage rights, civil rights, immigration, and women's rights.

First, #Elon fired the people that maintain our #NUCLEAR ARSENAL, then scrambled to hire them back;

But didn't have any way of contacting them when they cut off their government email.

Now, they have done the same with people who were fighting the #H1N1 #Birdflu.

How many times must we do this?
