Pamela Hemphill, convicted US Capitol insurrectionist, declines 45's pardon:

"Accepting a pardon would only insult the Capitol police officers, rule of law and, of course, our nation," she said.

"Accepting a pardon also would serve to contribute to their gaslighting and false narrative."

Today I witnessed a store clerk (in her 60s) on her knees, sobbing and breaking down because she'd just found out over the phone her daughter had died. Then found out a customer had complained about it. I went from empathy and sympathy for a fellow human to wanting to smack another one.

I've always known trump was a fucking moron, but signing an executive order to make prescription drugs MORE EXPENSIVE for Americans deserves an entry in the Ignoramus Hall of Fame.

OK, so I'm here, but I don't like the character limit, and the whole thing feels like Twitter but nicer, but I never really liked Twitter anyway. I don't want to read long posts in multiple parts. I want to read long posts with multiple photos. Like FB. Where's the alternative to FB?

Thank goodness for people like former WAPO cartoonist @anntelnaes.bsky.social, American hero. This may only be the rough of the cartoon she planned to run before she was told she couldn't, but it speaks volumes, perhaps, especially in this form.

We were seeing a 98% drop in exposure over on Twitter. The censorship was so extreme we thought it best to start over somewhere else. We chose Bluesky.

PLEASE REMEMBER:

trump's win percentage is shaping up to be the third SMALLEST in history.

He does NOT have a mandate, no matter what he says.

That means we push back against every single batshit crazy policy he tries to pass.

EVERYTHING.
Mandate my ass.

You’ll never guess who says he is considering taking away Medicaid and food stamps from up to 70 million Americans…

Goodreads is owned by Jeff Bezos. A better alternative is StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform. And before y’all start, you can transfer all your Goodreads data to Storygraph so you literally have no excuse.

Anyone else find it weird that the guy who says he has his kid track his porn use, is refusing to let anyone see the ethics report on a guy who was investigated for sex trafficking kids?

A frustrating thing for me right now is the media narrative that RFK Jr is just an “anti-vaxxer” when he has said so many crazy things about other stuff over the years. We compiled 10 nutty clips on various topics, which still barely scratches the surface. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

Rode my first Glow Roll last night. It was chilly and I froze my face off but yet worth it. I'm out of shape but did better than I thought. I'm so ready to get back into cycling again.
