One should never horse around with Ivermectin.

Ditto French forests. Never saw it but I heard it and then hubby told me to back up 'calmly'.

Whatever the percentage is of farmworkers working legally or not, the bottom line is the "real Americans" don't want to work in the fields.

The Attorney General of the United States brings copies of a Senator's tweet glued on to the inside of a file folder so she can 'answer' a question?

Pam Bondi is not a serious person or a serious Attorney General. She's a pathological liar, and one of Trump's many flunkies.

The entire Trump cabal is using this playbook.

The fact that all of them have apparently added "yell loudly and talk over people" to it makes it all the more absurd.

Some polling must show he's losing with Catholic voters so Hawley's come up with some nonsense about Biden, a devout Catholic.

Spin and distraction - the usual.

These clowns putting on a show for Trump and to deflect from the Epstein files. Josh Hawley. Pam Bondi. Lindsey Graham. All so you stop demanding to know who the child sex trafficking predators are running America! Not working! Keep demanding the release of the Epstein files. For your children!

Josh Hawley and Lindsey Graham love to say they “work for the people,” but when it’s time to protect healthcare for their constituents, they side with Trump and support deep cuts.

We can’t let their lies stand — speak up, organize, and hold them to account.

I have yet to see a study showing otherwise. Brilliant

Brent Toderian @brenttoderian.bsky.social · 1d

For every €1 provided through a Basic Income For Artists pilot program in Ireland, the government got €1.46 back. So it’s being made permanent.

Over and over we see it. It saves public money to provide public housing. And it makes public money to provide basic income.

We can’t afford to NOT do it.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Guessing Elon Musk is the big winner in this abominable decision by Trump.

Do not pay or repay Members of Congress or the White House or any cabinet members and their staff then, either.

Elise Flynn @eliseflynn.bsky.social · 21h

What an extraordinarily magnanimous gesture. I'm going to buy the entire Bob Ross Joy of Painting DVD series online just to express thanks and approval of his (estate's) humanity and support for public television.

Renewables overtake coal as world's biggest source of electricity

Developing countries lead the historic clean energy charge but the US and EU rely more on fossil fuels than before, a think tank study shows.

States and governors should start deputizing citizens groups to arrest ICE. 🤔 #EpsteinFiles

(My dad worked for TWA for 36 years as a district sales manager. They made him retire on his 65th birthday. He hated Carl Icahn and said the unions, pilots, & stewardesses hated Icahn, too, knowing he'd bankrupt the airline - which he did.)

Used to be "Baby". We, too, have to speak out - white or not, male or not - against these social monsters that are trampling our nation's consciousness and decency.

They think their red caps mean they own the flag, the roads, the discourse. They don't.

Thanks for putting that in words so clearly.

#ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles and all the travel and financial information connected to Epstein and Maxwell.

Amber Speaks Up @amberspeaks.bsky.social · 1d

NEW

The Epstein flight network just got a lot bigger.

A new analysis by Zalingo Data Refinery uncovered 2,348 additional connections to Epstein’s island across 5,253 flight records (1995–2007) — bringing the total to nearly 5,000 flights linked to that island.

I just want to say. As i think more and more about that video of the ICE agents running away in Illinois after trying to kidnap that guy. Running away because people stopped and would not let it happen.

THAT'S HOPE MAN. That is community and humanity and we all have to be willing to do the same.

Exactly! And someone please explain why, with NASA and financing Musk's SpaceX, we need the Space 'Force'? What are they doing, arresting space aliens?
Useless waste of money, time, and energy.
