Thank you! I just checked...the same thing for me.

Is it an issue they have with me or is it really facebook wide? You never know these days.

Do not go silent.

Alligator Alcatraz has not worked out. Some of Trump's cabinet members were eaten while filming PSAs there.

If he was over any other country, he'd be in jail by now.

It feels like we are in one of those dreams where you are trying to outrun the enemy, but you can only move in slow motion. We are crawling towards the only thing that can save us: the midterms. But the enemy, the Trump administration, has all that time to pick away at us. [animation: Sora].

To friends in other countries: even if we (the U.S.) fix this mess, DON'T forgive us until we make sure it doesn't happen again.

I don't know why some Americans are fooled by this. Trump isn't trying to rescue Venezuela from a drug dealing tyrant; he's using that narrative, though, to conceal his greedy goal of conquest of an oil-rich country. (image: ChatGPT)

My uncle died in World War II in an accident when the plane he was on took off and a bomb rolled out of the net it was stored in. The flights they were scheduled for didn't make it to Jimmy Doolittle's raids. My uncle is buried with his crew members in a mass grave in Keokuk, Iowa. Enlisted 1941.

Don't fool yourself into thinking that Trump is not this.

Our country should have bought this insurance! (ChatGPT came up with this per my directions...I specified it didn't have to be "Flo," but it used her anyway!)

Our best bet with this crazy president is to just keep on verbally attacking him. It's the best way to distract him.

May right-wingers always find the shoe on the other foot FROM NOW ON. They have given the rest of us enough misery for them to have grief for the remainder of their selfish lives.

The fact is that over the decades we got careless and too many people get away with not being educated in the basics of preserving a democracy.

The inscribed-in-stone words on the McKim Building in Boston are strangely shifting into nonsense as our country gives up on democracy and its promise of freedom (animation done with Sora).

Even if they are going to get voted down, the good Congresspeople need to start votes to stop these horrible MAGA types. Sure, it's a lot of work, but it says, "WE HAVE NOT GIVEN UP." If you are good, Congressman, you need to stop being afraid of confronting this tyrant.

My latest...

If you think that staying silent because it might eventually be to your advantage to be a "friend" of Trump...think of how badly that worked out for the "friends" of Hitler.

I used to read all your comments on twitter (now "X"), Stephen. But I cancelled X and now I don't think I'm seeing all your commentary on BlueSky. Please keep us up to date on here...

My naughty cat grazes on trees! How do I know this? I had an avocado tree growing in my kitchen window, and he ate the leaves right off the top of it!
