It really takes a lot for me to say this, but the Graham tweet is genuinely a pretty offensive thing to say.

Yeah they hate courage. That's why they love Trump. Because he's a pathetic coward.

The #MAGA crowd HATES courage, and the narcissist in chief hates being made fun of. I'm for both!

Grateful for your years of service, Finn – and that the ACA helped you and your daughter get health care.

The co-occupant of the Oval Office is a sexually abusing, business defrauding, draft dodging, convicted felon who bragged about grabbing women by the pussy.
He is a predator.
Not a president.

California would like to become the next province, so we can escape the hellscape as well.

Big ups to @signal.org @meredithmeredith.bsky.social for allowing usernames instead of phone numbers last year (signal.org/blog/phone-n...).

Washington basically runs on Signal right now and that one change has made reporting and whistleblowing way more private and secure.

Our United Airlines pilot made sure to emphasize *Mexico* when he said we'd be flying over the Gulf of *Mexico* today.

Musk offered Wikipedia $1 billion if they removed the information about his alleged Nazi salute. When they refused, he countered with an offer: $1 billion if they changed their name to "Dickipedia." The man is truly unpredictable. Wikipedia, though a non-profit, stood firm and rejected both offers.

Man pardoned by Donald Trump for Jan. 6 now wanted on state child solicitation charge Thanks to President Donald Trump, a Texas man who beat police officers during the Jan. 6 riot had his six-year plus prison ended. But now 36-year-old Andrew Taake may be headed back to jail

It seems like Karma is helping us out. This is the second one today. First, was an J6er getting shot & killed at a traffic stop for resisting arrest & had a firearm.

I suddenly found that I was “following” POTUS without my knowledge or input, so I blocked him. Fingers crossed he stays blocked.
