It’s such a stupid lie because it’s such a small town.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

So, which is it?

If this info wasn’t classified, that in itself would be a scandalous screw-up that must be explained.

And if it was classified, then the Trump administration lied to Congress and to the American people.

I am seeing a lot of talk on TikTok about requirements to go through your phones and laptops at the boarding coming back into the US, but nothing of that here on Bluesky. Is this true? How is this legal?

The plague of 2025 is emotionally broken men, they need therapy not promotions! Looking at you Donald and Elon.

I miss not waking up every day to a new way the president has destroyed or embarrassed our country.

They are playing in your faces, throwing out performative gestures while unraveling the land you love. Wake up!

Every 2-3 days my Instagram becomes a hellscape of MAGA bullshit out of nowhere. At this point is Zuck just trolling?

I’m gonna repost every legal win because we need some hope in the system.

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

So comforting knowing we have a vice president who made it through law school with no apparent understanding of our governmental system… or logic.

Breaking "the government" and replacing the "deep state" civil servants with AI bots programmed by 20-something right wing Elon fanboys may sound like a great idea until it's time to eat an egg or a chicken sandwich without fear of getting sick, or deal with a hurricane or get on an airplane.
