how is this real life

I loved having @roycoopernc.bsky.social as my governor and having @wileynickel.com as my US representative and was proud to support him in his campaign to defeat Tillis, but seeing this makes me have faith that people care more about this state and country than their own ambitions.

Germany’s Chancellor Merz presented Trump the birth certificate of his German grandfather, Friedrich Trump.

I still remember all the hysteria about “death panels” and here we are.

Let’s break this down—because the gaslighting is wild:

📌Oct 2022 – Biden signs EO to cut drug prices

📌Jan 2025 – Trump takes office and kills Biden’s EO to cut drug prices

Not good

What happened to Executive Order 14120 signed by Biden in March 2024 to expand women's health research? It isn't listed as formally rescinded by Trump but 404s on Whitehouse.gov - women's health is now DEI, too? 🙄🖕🏼

If you're going to keep playing the Kennedy Center while claiming yourself as an ally, then this is the kind of active resistance you damn well better be prepared to engage in.

Way to go Guster. Gonna go listen to "Airport Song" and "Barrel of a Gun" in appreciation
