Say hello to my good friend and all around great feline…. #TheOneAndOnlyChipTheCat He found me when he was homeless and I took him in. That was almost seven years ago. I talk to him like I do anyone else. He follows me around the house and sleeps by my side or on my pillow almost every night. 💜

Hey @adamkinzinger.bsky.social any idea why the R Congress is willing to have our democracy implode as our country is at it weakest and there are top secret documents from Maralogo missing and unaccounted for? Why is there no urgency on their part, given all these dangers? What has to happen???

It is going to take a Congressional act to remove our DICKtator. We have a complacent and enabling body of “law makers” in control of the U.S. Congress. Unless we can find help from those democracies that ARE still standing, we are on the cusp of darkness.

Big, growing crowd just west of the U.S. Capitol protesting Trump, Musk and DOGE on President’s Day. “Hey Congress, grow a spine,” they shout, gathering for a rally around the reflecting pool.

Because this platform is moderated. This is not Twitter. There is no Elon Musk dominating an algorithm that drags down the platform

Bluesky is unique. We need it to grow.
The problem with calls for “discourse,” is that MAGA isn’t interested in an exchange of ideas. It wants to leverage the rules of polite to destroy discourse. It wants to walk in, shout us all down, spit lies, and thumb their noses at us.
Shout “if you’re so tolerant why don’t you tolerate my hate?”
Some don't want posts like this on @bsky.app. I want more. Why ?

This is a moderated platform. Which means unbridled hate is removed. And blocked.

Making this is a platform where we can engage and have real discussions on real issues.

@bsky.app w 100m users changes political discourse.

Mindset reset:

Right now, brave Ukrainians are defending their land & loved ones, at the cost of their sanity, limbs & lives. It’s an existential fight for their democracy & way of life.

If the Russians lose, they go home. If the Ukrainians lose, they will be overrun & destroyed.

Watching powerless from Europe how democracy is crumbling in the US, reminds me of those movies where someone is mind-controlled by an alien or ghost. I want to yell: "America, we know you are still in there. If you can hear us, you must fight. YOU CAN DO IT. FIGHT THIS!"

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.

You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?

Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.

You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

Trump is too weak to get Congress to pass his agenda. Instead, relying on legally dubious executive orders that resemble press releases more than policy documents. He’s made countless errors, backed down from fights, and been rebuked by the courts.
