Baseball's over, election depressed, what to do? Get busy making my old bird fly to Bluesky. If you're checking "who is this?", I probably followed you before OR found you recently & thought you sounded fabulous & interesting.

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.

Remember when we all lost our minds that Vice President Dan Quayle corrected that student to misspell "potato" as "potatoe"? How that one mistake told us he must be unqualified, unintelligent, in serving as VP! What a story it was, how the media covered it?
Ah, those were the days... 😢

Our convicted felon president, who pardoned Enrique Tarrio, the leader of the Proud Boys convicted of seditious conspiracy, wants to charge Mark Kelly, a decorated war veteran and astronaut, with seditious conspiracy.
That’s some next-level banana republic shit right there.

Same here, unless Stephen Nelson is on the TV broadcast. We love how he & Rick Monday cover the games. They will cheer good play but be brutally honest for bad play. They really have a good team w/Joe & Orel, & Eric Karros & Jessica Mendoza as really good analysts but our favorite is Stephen & Rick.

Over 54,000 fans packed into Dodger Stadium to see a Randy Johnson - Greg Maddux duel but both pitchers were scratched before the game and their replacements were a couple of kids named Max Scherzer and Clayton Kershaw.

They acted like Gov Newsom was making a big deal over this. In 65 years I cannot remember a time they fired over the freeway w/active traffic! This shows why it was shut down.

I don't think it pays off to buy a stadium naming right, it doesn't make me buy their product, or think warmly of them. But if you're going to waste your money, be the first one. You can quit later, because we will remember the first name, not the rest! You've got the name locked in our brains.

He's using this shutdown as an excuse for what he was doing w/Russell Vought & Elon Musk's DOGE disaster. Going after depts he thinks support Democratic programs in blue states. Stupid, because it hurts everyone, especially his voters. But AP, at least call it out as illegal & unconstitutional.

Are they saying “Our tax dollars shouldn’t be paying for Medicaid or insurance for *immigrants”? (*sorry, refuse to use their racist language here)

Yes, until a Democrat is in office*, then the Supreme Court will mysteriously block all these powers they are giving Trump.
*if one assumes there will be elections - I for one, do not. Trump will find some way to "cancel" elections or votes in blue states.
