I just took this pic of Dolly, she’s a rescue. Her (adopted) brother, MeeMee adopted me. He used to supervise my gardening, but now he’s indoors only after getting injured.

Imagine you're the top performing employee in your department. You have a flawless career. But then a new dictator is installed, and fires everyone who did not vote for him, or will not submit to his poisonous way of governing. You don't have to imagine, it's the dystopian hellscape we're in.

Good question

Yankee Voter @yankeevoter.bsky.social · Feb 1

Agreed

I think trump has a VERY personal investment in keeping that report classified.

Yankee Voter @yankeevoter.bsky.social · Jan 31

Yup

Yankee Voter @yankeevoter.bsky.social · Jan 31

The President is asking rhetorical questions about what federal government aircraft was doing, as if there's someone else who is supposed to have the answer. This is his responsibility. If he doesn't even know the answers, it's because he and his unqualified appointees are incompetent.

“Commander in Chief” jumps to throw military crew under the bus before any details are known. Coward.

We no longer have a leader in the White House but a conman who’s #1 goal is always to dodge responsibility.

Next time a R or D says “respect the office” remind them the President himself doesn’t.

“History does not repeat, but it does instruct." — I have been reading On Tyranny by Timothy Snyder. It is incredibly informative, enlightening, & inspiring, as well as bone chilling. It was first published in 2017, but it is more pertinent than ever! I give it 10/10. Read it!

Can you explain more about these protests? What are they about? How to participate?

JFC.

Elizabeth Warren points out all of RFK Jr's lies about his trip to American Samoa and asks if he feels any remorse that more than 70 people died after he pushed lies.

His response?

"No. Absolutely not."

Vile man.

Trump’s “Buyout” Offer for Federal Workers Is Already Backfiring:

“I’ll continue to do my job and fight for the position I’ve earned. It took me 10 years of applying and 20 years experience in my field to get here. I will not be pushed out by two billionaire trust funds babies. I’M NOT LEAVING!”
