Waiting for a tipping point out of the mess we're in. There's the judiciary and midterms, but we can't wait.

Republicans seeing how toxic DT is to their reelection may be it. Love of country and the rule of law certainly hasn't been.

Anyone want to venture a guess when martial law will be declared in the US?

Obviously, if it happened before, it can happen again. Trump, Musk, and Project 2025 are all using Hitler's playbook.

Please be informed, diligent, and vocal. Our Democracy demands it.

One line had 2 sisters from Slovakia die in a death camp in '42 just over the border in Poland. Another line had 2 sisters, a brother, and a number of their children die in '44 in Auschwitz. Relieved when I saw 2 made it to Israel.

I was researching my family on myheritage.com a few years ago. I just started up again, trying to see what distant family members died during the holocaust. Sadly, I found a number of them. Families were very large back then.

The new America. We treat our allies (Columbia) worse than our enemies.

If you want to rename the Gulf of Mexico after us, how about Gulf of Shithole. Denali to Mt. Hitler. Greenland to Orangeland.

Any Mt. Rushmore suggestions?

So when all was said and done, the only country that opened it's prisons and sent crazy murderous criminals to prey upon innocent American citizens, was us.

I actually wrote this as sarcasm - the Christian right doesn't want to hear a sermon about being compassionate, but are gung ho on putting their version of religion in school. And yes, religion (a mythology to me) being taught in school for its historical significance is where it belongs.

One more thought: Christianity should be taught in school, not in Church.

Thoughts on MAGA reaction to the Episcopal Bishop of DC's sermon yesterday. But of course, not espousing hypocrisy is antithetical to white Christian nationalism. I suppose we need the 10 commandments posted everywhere to be reminded what not to do.

We binge watched all of There She Goes on Britbox. Extremely remarkable series.

@eleanorjbader1.bsky.social saw this on one of your first bluesky shared posts and also had to share it.

Personally, I'd rather know before going to bed. Would make for a more restful sleep.

Trump on Smith: β€œa lamebrain prosecutor who was unable to get his case tried before the Election. THE VOTERS HAVE SPOKEN!!!”

Yes, delay, delay, delay worked (including the Supreme Court). And yes, some voters did speak, but NOT THE ONES FROM A JURY!!! (exception being a grand jury).

Figured it out. The only way DT, as a convicted felon, can set foot in Canada is if Canada becomes the 51st state. Just like the only way to not have an unconditional discharge or further criminal prosecution is to become President.

Tesla board that gave itself nearly $1 billion in excess compensation must now return money Tesla directors settled a nearly five-year long legal dispute that represents the latest critique of the board's lax governance under Robyn Denholm.

Who is the bigger grifter? Trump or Musk? May be a statistical tie.

Sen. Tupperware of AL is in favor of taking over the Panama Canal so our war ships don't have to travel 8-10,000 miles to the Pacific. Wouldn't respecting treaties & sovereignty be better? Instead, divert the Mississippi River to west of Idaho, Nevada, or Arizona to reach the Pacific coastline.

Maybe we can redirect the Mississippi River to west of Arizona, Nevada, or Idaho to have access to the Pacific Ocean?

Two thoughts.

Greenland would be a great thank you gift for DT's boy Elon.

Instead of Canada becoming the 51st-60th states (each Province, right?), how about statehood for places that are already part of America - DC and Puerto Rico? Isn't taxation without representation an anti-American thing?
