@bluedotin.bsky.social The Jason Momoa account your are following is a bot account. Just thought I’d share that as it used you to try to get me to follow. Jason does NOT have a BlueSky account.

Mullins has been acting pretty cagey lately and I wondered what he was up to. This has been in the works awhile. But he has to pull him out of the senate…that seems insane.

Hmmm so MarkyMurk Mullin is his top pick…that explains Mullin’s behavior lately but very interesting that Trump would take a MAGA senator from the Senate tells me he’s not too concerned about that legislative co-equal branch of government.

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.

That's roughly $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

People do not want this.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

CNN put together a video illustrating that while Trump regime officials keep describing the Iran strikes as a "war," Republican members of Congress are using all sorts of euphemisms

🙏 I can highly recommend the well-done documentary Virunga showing what it’s like when armed conflict threatens a national park. youtu.be/wxXf2Vxj_EU

Tragic news from #Upemba National Park in the Democratic Republic of the Congo & I can’t find coverage!

On 3 March 2026, armed assailants attacked the park headquarters in #Lusinga. 5 staff members were murdered, more staff were kidnapped including the Park Director, Tina Lain.

The 14 worst-paying college majors, 5 years after graduation — CNBC Education majors start out earning less right after college and often remain among the lowest-paid fields throughout their careers.

Lame take @cnbc.com Software engineers and medical pros are also going to watch their jobs get sucked up by AI. At least liberal arts ppl can find comfort in creativity. And if we’re to believe the Musk rat (note sarcasm) money doesn’t buy happiness (unless you’re a billionaire).

Considering there are about 45.1–49 million registered voters, with democrats representing roughly 36–38% of registrants and independents around 27–31%, I’d say that “domestic terrorist” list is going to be YUGE.

2. Last night, primary elections in North Carolina told a different story: if you abandon trans people, your Dem voters will abandon you. The state's most prominent anti-trans Dem, Nasif Majeed, fell to progressive challenger Veleria Levy, who ran on a pro-LGBTQ+ platform, by more than 40 points.

U.S. & Israel are ratcheting up tension in this Middle East war. They’ve hit a ton of non-military sites now in Iran, and Iran has struck back hard at Israel, Dubai and Qatar especially. This is just going to get worse and will lead to a much wider conflict.

I don’t know what bothers me worse…Jeffries predicted sublimated resignation to this or the awful MAGA beach-blow hairdo on this CNN “host.”
