@bsky.app Renaming for Trump: DC's Blue Plains Advanced Waste Water Treatment Plant is the largest in the world. If he's looking for biggest, no one has ever seen anything like it, to rename for himself, go for it. Leave Kennedy alone.

@bsky.app Cookie Monster showed up at the No Kings Day event in Williston Vermont yesterday. After a bit of time a familly of children started the chant
