If only we could have seen any of this coming! (SARCASM ALERT).
These insulting and deeply unserious nominations overshadow the intent to destroy the government.
And the media is absolutely failing once again to sound the alarm.
They’re too busy gaslighting us over why Kamala lost.

Finished the second season of A Man On the Inside. I loved it and highly recommend if you need a charming palate cleanser during *waves hands wildly.* The Thanksgiving episode is particularly wonderful. Congrats @kentremendous.bsky.social

Just over here thinking about how the Dodgers’ Game 7 win probability went from 9% before Miggy’s home run to 44% after he tied it.
Talk about a *removes sunglasses* big swing.

Promising to prosecute these ghouls for war crimes is the bare minimum for any Democrat.

I’m convinced that the people who still approve of him and support him do so *because* he is cruel and makes so many of us angry every day. It’s simply about grievance and “owning the libs.” It’s not about policy or anything else. That’s where we are.

There’s no nice way to say this: promoting anti-vax bullshit while kids are dying of vaccine preventable illnesses is tantamount to murder, and should be treated as such in the media and the courts.

I invite any MLB owner to open their books and show the public how much money their teams lost in 2025. They won’t, because it’s a lie.
No team has EVER sold for less than it was purchased for. Do not fall for crocodile tears from billionaires who are already getting a Trump tax cut!

The misogynistic fucks in the admin are trying to make it so that grad school certifications in female-dominated professions (nursing, therapy, education) no longer count as “professional degrees” & you can’t get loans to go to grad school.
The DoE has reclassified numerous health professional and other degrees, limiting access to federal student loan programs eligible for the higher OBBBA loan caps from thousands to a few hundred.
As ALWAYS, this is about $$.

Engagement on our updates re: ICE kidnappings/fed siege of Los Angeles is significantly lower on Bluesky compared to Twitter. Do ppl on here not care about LA anymore? Are feeds being taken over by liberal commentators? What's going on?

The feds are escalating in Los Angeles. We've seen record high kidnappings and our communities are under attack. The media focus on LA has died down so electeds don't feel the need to even feign opposition.
People are out here fighting. We need all of us. Join the struggle. Defend your neighbors.
