I am originally British. I know what daft implies. And right back at you

Toby, you can join the rest of the people who pissed me off with your replies to my reasonable, polite request. Am I expected to look up every goddamn person's bio to figure out where they're from? Would it be so hard to put some context in a post? Why don't you just go off and have a nice day?

🇨🇦🇬🇧🐶 Canada. Strong and free. @brit2can.bsky.social · 1d

I have had a large number of replies to my post, I am assuming Irish. I always thought kindly of the Irish but wow, you are a nasty lot. You have yourself a wonderful day.

🇨🇦🇬🇧🐶 Canada. Strong and free. @brit2can.bsky.social · 1d

No. But the Canadian flag might give you a clue.

Oh, foad. Non- apologetic enough for you?

🇨🇦🇬🇧🐶 Canada. Strong and free. @brit2can.bsky.social · 1d

Wow, so much hate from a reasonable request to remember it's an international site and not being so up your own arse that you could think someone who isn't following your politics might read it.

Sarcasm. Thanks so much. Wonderful response. You have a marvelous day (also sarcasm).

Mary, could I please ask you to qualify your comments re Jim Gavin as Irish when posting about him? He is being confused with Gavin Newsom, and it is such a sh*t show in the states, you almost gave me a heart attack with your recent post, lol. Thanks from a Canadian.

Former FCC Chair Wheeler: An autocrat's favorite tool is a monopoly on telling the story. And if you can control the people who tell that story, then you've got an autocrat's greatest dream.

Bunny noses are the cutest!!

They are lovely! And your ALT descriptions are poetic!! Aurora certainly is photogenic. It dawned on me one day that I had almost no photos of her puppy hood, until I remembered that if she was awake she was in constant motion. Here she is tonight, resting on my knee.

It's why I've picked up on Kat Abughazaleh, candidate for Congress in IL-09. Her credentials include getting thrown to the ground by ICE.

She's very sharp, articulate, action-oriented, and 26 years old.

I know, for one, Texas has more democrat registered voters than republican. Texas dems have to get their lazy butts out and vote. Crush the repubs.

We are in the endgame now. A final battle for the soul of our Republic.

Whether democracy survives or we succumb to the long winter of authoritarianism, is up to us.

Choose your fighters wisely.

The Democratic Party needs to get younger, feistier, smarter at messaging and more in touch with the electorate, both at the state and federal levels.

Democratic voters need to get more discerning about who they choose to fight against the rising tide of oligarchic fascism.

Daily reminder:

The Leader of the Official Opposition still does not have a security clearance to be able to view any information on foreign or domestic influence or terror.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

The furbaby on the cushion (the worst photo, lol) is my furbaby. The moment you get a camera to take a better photo, she moves 😫

I wish I didn’t know enough about US politics to know who Stephen Miller is. The most comically deranged and evil public official since Judge Death.
