Joanna in Vermont

Huge @le-tourdefrance.bsky.social fan. It’s my 29th year following it, making it one of the longest relationships of my lifetime.

Okay, @cbsnews.com / @cbsnewsdesk the @kcalnews team needs to be asking what is happening to those protesters who are being arrested as they take them under the overpass and we can no longer see what is happening. Hold CHP accountable.

Trump gives the commencement address at Alabama. That tracks.

Brandon showed up! bsky.app/profile/joan...

To the world:
We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom.

—With love,
Your American allies.

I can’t believe I actually care about the outcome of a Supreme Court election in a state I don’t live in. I miss being somewhat oblivious to this stuff.

LOL, this didn’t age well. Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to FL1’s new member of the House - Jimmy Patronis. “Outstanding public servant”? Mike Waltz? I think not.

Let’s get into some good trouble #vermont.

@msnbc calling it for Jimmy Patronis. We know the Patronis family from our 12 years in Panama City Beach. Once upon a time he was a decent human being, but if he’s anything like Neal Dunn, I don’t hold out a lot of hope.

Rachel, we love you, but let the man rest.

Trump and Vance are shamefully doing Putin’s bidding right from the Oval Office. It’s an absolute disgrace. I’m filled with rage as I watch this. I stand with all of you who believe deeply in the ideals of freedom and democracy. I’m disgusted by our president bending a knee to Putin.

Trump berates Zelensky, the leader of a democratic country courageously fighting Russian imperialism, while he allies himself with Putin, a dictator who started the bloodiest European war in 80 years.

Sorry, President Trump. We believe in democracy, not authoritarianism.

Just heard from a friend who is a true hero veteran. His company was destroyed in 30 days by the VA when they canceled 5 contracts without notice. 23 Americans mostly veterans out of work and a veteran owned small business destroyed. For nothing. They're dismantling the VA not "reforming" it.

Donald Trump wants to pick and choose which journalists are allowed in his press pool.

This is what dictators do.

My great uncle Gene Patterson was managing editor of the #WashingtonPost when the Nixon administration blocked The New York Times from the continued publication of the Pentagon Papers. He was responsible for the @washingtonpost.com's publication of the documents. I wish his voice was with us now.

Dear Canada,

Just wondering if you would consider adopting us?

Love, Vermont

The next Mercury retrograde begins on Saturday, March 15 and ends on Monday, April 7, 2025. I have a degree in communications and I worry about these things 🤣

Because I’m always doing things ass backwards.

The "peace candidate" Trump wants to force 2 million Palestinians from their homes, give another $1 billion in weapons to Netanyahu, and enact a "plan" to turn the decimated Gaza strip into a billionaires' Riviera.

If this is his "peace" policy, I'd hate to see his war policy.

Watching the news - properly, like actually watching a whole broadcast - JFC. They said there would be hand baskets…
