Canadian here. I had rather hoped they’d double your time not end it. You and Rachel and Nicolle especially made me so proud. Strong, intelligent, and fiercely pro democracy, pro woman, pro racial justice: you are an incredible person. MSNBC has erred in the side of dark forces, methinks.

The evil of the antivaxxers and their ill will towards our children needs a full throated and continual reaction. Down with medical idiocy!

At his age he can’t keep his lies and promises and threats straight. Maybe one day we’ll know the real β€˜oranges’ of his mental illness.

The real owner of our house. She’s very very old now, but the kitten you see here is still in there somewhere. Happy holidays to all!

Every day m, every gd day I loathe him more. And I have zero respect for all those who fear him!

So musk is a Naziβ€”who knew? His vocal support for Germany’s AfD is disgusting.

It’s amazing to me that folk aren’t in the streets over musk’s purchase of the country.

Depressing. How did America not see musk coming?

I’m a Canadian liberal. I know, a dying breed. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your strength and love of country.

Thanks. That makes sense. I have neither the connections nor the money, but I think having a hidey hole platform in waiting is a fine idea.

I was literally just wondering that when I saw your post. I have visions of musk buying BlueSky and all of us packing up and running. I think we need a backup plan.

Trump is mad at the Chinese for assigning 2025 as the year of the snake. Forthwith all Chinese animal symbols are not allowed to stand as metaphors for the great leader.

Loving critters is, for me, a sign that that person is good. Perhaps an over generalization but so farβ€¦β€οΈπŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

Such wealth is obscene. So much could be done for so many, but these men have blinkers on and all they see is a path before them built on the backs of underpaid workers, a path lined with gold. Why do these billionaires find it impossible to stop acquiring more and more?

USA today: almost 3 million families headed by single moms live in poverty while a small portion of Elon Musk's wealth would solve their poverty problems many time over. The injustice of inequality.
