Bluesky labeled me SPAM claiming excessively frequent & irrelevant things like posting & following. I follow users with compatible interests to share, learn & have civil, intelligent conversations on very relevant topics & 25,000 follow me. I don't understand. It seems like character assassination.

Trump and his MAGA followers have been calling for journalists to be killed for an entire decade. It is unfathomable to me why every journalistic organization in the country doesn't treat them as the enemies that they are, let alone ignores that it's their rhetoric that incites people to violence.

Calling the press “fake news” is harmful. Calling them “seditious, perhaps even treasonous” for publishing reporting is something else entirely. Treason is a capital crime. Suggesting journalists should face it for exercising their First Amendment rights and doing their jobs is dangerous.

This painting was originally created for someone who wanted to honor their inner child and picture themselves carrying them to safety.

Your younger self did their best. Now you can be the one who keeps them safe.

Immigrants ‘plucked out of line’ at citizenship ceremony at Faneuil Hall “the cradle of liberty”.

If you ever claimed you want immigrants to do it the right way, this should outrage you. On the other hand, If you think this was okay, you need to come to terms with your white nationalist views.

Leaders of a Catholic church in Massachusetts kept a Nativity display with an anti-ICE message in place on Monday, defying an order from the Catholic Archdiocese of Boston to remove it. The display shows Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus missing, replaced by a sign reading “ICE WAS HERE.” trib.al/adPW46y

Ernst Putz’ Schicksal mahnt uns, antidemokratischen Tendenzen entschieden entgegenzutreten und unsere Grundrechte entschlossen zu verteidigen. Diese Warnung ist umso wichtiger, da der demokratische Grundkonsens in unserer Gesellschaft zunehmend brüchig wird. www.bodo-ramelow.de/2025/11/parl...
Das Foto zeigt den Stolperstein für Ernst Putz Die Verlegung des Stolperstein durch Gunter Demnig. Ich stehe neben der neuen Gedenktafel in Bad Brückenau, auf der die ganze Gedenkaktion „DenkOrt Deportationeb“ erläutert wird. Mit den symbolischen Koffern wird in viele Orten in Franken, dieses Verbrechen sichtbar gemacht. Der symbolische Koffer. Auch in Unsleben sah ich solch eine Installation, als ich die Kinder von Gabriel Bach (der stlv Ankläger im Eichmann Prozess) dort traf . Die Spur der Koffer verweist immer auf den Ort der Deportationen, am Bahnhof in Würzburg.

Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.
There has never been a President that has worked as hard as me! My hours are the longest, and my results are among the best. I’ve stopped Eight Wars, saving many millions of lives in the process, created the Greatest Economy in the History of our Country, brought Business back into the United States at levels never seen before, rebuilt our Military, created the Largest Tax Cuts and Regulation Cuts, EVER, closed our open and very dangerous Southern Border, when previous Administrations were unable to do so, and created an “aura” around the United States of America that has led every Country in the World to respect us more than ever before. In addition to all of that, I go out of my way to do long, thorough, and very boring Medical Examinations at the Great Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, seen and supervised by top doctors, all of whom have given me PERFECT Marks — Some have even said they have never seen such Strong Results. I do these Tests because I owe it to our Country. In addition to the Medical, I have done something that no other President has done, on three separate occasions, the last one being recently, by taking what is known as a Cognitive Examination, something which few people would be able to do very well, including those working at The New York Times, and I ACED all three of them in front of large numbers of doctors and experts, most of whom I do not know. I have been told that few people have been able to “ace” this Examination and, in fact, most do very poorly, which is why many other Presidents have decided not to take it at all. Despite all of this, the time and work involved, The New York Times, and some others, like to pretend that I am “slowing up,” am maybe not as sharp as I once was, or am in poor physical health, knowing that it is not true, and knowing that I work very hard, probably harder than I have ever worked before. I will know when I am “slowing up,” but it’s not now! After all of the work I have done with Medical Exams, Cognitive Exams, and everything else, I actually believe it’s seditious, perhaps even treasonous, for The New York Times, and others, to consistently do FAKE reports in order to libel and demean “THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.” They are true Enemies of the People, and we should do something about it. They have inaccurately reported on all of my Election Results and, in fact, were forced to apologize on much of what they wrote. The best thing that could happen to this Country would be if The New York Times would cease publication because they are a horrible, biased, and untruthful “source” of information. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Having $800M in your investment account vs $400M doesn't change your life at all, but having a labor market where your underlings are desperate to cling to jobs vs one where they can walk across the street and get a better offer makes a huge difference in the day to day reality of the very wealthy

This is exactly what the bosses who put Trump into office were trying to achieve. Crushing the tight labor market from the early Biden years that gave workers - for the first time in my adult lifetime - leverage over their bosses.

How do we trust this person to have the empathy needed to be in charge of safety on this website? what the fuck?

Respectfully, Congresswoman, you voted with Republicans to strip due process from immigrants and to praise Trump's ICE. This year.

Now you're upset?

ICE agents followed a Burnsville family home from the store, failed to present a warrant and entered their home with guns drawn. They detained 4 legal citizens who presented documentation, leaving a 7 year-old without parents.

A seven-year-old. Let that sink in. Trump’s ICE is out of control.
