Read this thread.

It’s the last day of 2025. Thank god! Although I don’t know how we get through three more years of this shitshow.

This is functionally equivalent to - & equally illegitimate - as Russia invading Ukraine. As @nicholasgrossman.bsky.social notes: "the US wasn’t attacked by Venezuela, someone based in Venezuela, or anyone else. There’s no self-defense argument, and the US didn’t even try for UNSC authorization."

Trump: I'm doing a magnificent, big, beautiful ballroom… we're under budget and ahead of schedule. Now. It's bigger than I told you…after realizing we're going to do the inauguration in that building

I don't think most Americans have any idea how dangerous it is for a president to declare an entire ethnic group to be "garbage." This is how the worst atrocities in human history have begun.

Who'd of guessed???

Bombing on Christmas. Yeah that tracks for the dude who gave himself a madeup Fifa Peace Prize.

The rich and powerful don’t get their wages garnished when they default on a loan. They declare bankruptcy and end up paying pennies on the dollar, if anything. Like Trump did many, many times.

It’s called the First Amendment. You used it as your defense to incite an insurrection. Given your advancing dementia, look it up or have someone explain it to you.

😕🇺🇸

The Trump regime is heinous monsters. The whole lot of them.

For #showmeyourknits I find I don’t knit often with white or very brights either. To share I have some winter/creamy white accessories and a bright pair of mitts that were promptly given away. 🤣 🧶

“What more is there to say about the character of this petty, hollow, squalid, overstuffed man? — sometimes the point bears stressing: We are led by the most loathsome human being ever to occupy the White House.” www.sltrib.com/opinion/comm...

I finished my Taiga sweater and I just love the wintery, Christmas vibes. I held Holst Supersoft doubled for the main color and a beautiful heather green, Kelbourne Woolens Camper, with a strand of silk/mohair for fluffy tree motifs. ❤️ A really nicely written pattern by Tania Barley. 🧶 #knitsky

My sentiments exactly.

He absolutely does not care that your healthcare, is about to run out. Zero fucks are given.

A hard read.💔 A record number of Americans are living outside. Cities have responded by removing encampments from public spaces, a practice commonly referred to as “sweeps.” In the process, workers often take people’s belongings. projects.propublica.org/impact-of-ho...

Hundreds of kids in S Carolina are being quarantined right now because of a measles outbreak. I don’t have patience for niceties when it comes to this crap, so if you’re an anti-vaxxer, keep your damn kids at home and don’t travel for the holidays. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

So the US just hijacked an oil tanker and the president casually says “I guess we keep the oil” Is this not just theft

Their closing message to Indiana: change your maps to artificially benefit the President's political party or 'roads will not be paved' as punishment. They are openly saying this. Who would want to live in a country that works like that?

Yesterday, Spc Sarah Becstrom was laid to rest in West Virginia at a VA National Cemetery. Surprisingly none of the major major news media mention it. No flags were lower to half staff. Well the Convicted FElon keeps the news focus on him. www.wvva.com/2025/12/10/s...

This cat 😹 #catsofbluesky

My Gnoel Gnome is ready for the holiday festivities. 😊 This was my first knit gnome. A great pattern by Sarah Schira and a fun knit. I was able to pull yarn from stash, some of it leftovers. Love that! 🧶 #knitsky

This will be remembered as the most pathetic moment in American history. What a needy fool.

They cannot be given authority to forcibly remove anyone from their vehicle this way. Think about how bad actors would abuse this power.

@mrsbettybowers.bsky.social exactly! I opened Google news today and these two stories being one right after the other is sickening.

A "FIFA Peace Prize" is tantamount to getting an "AutoZone Best Actor in a Dramatic Play" award. And "I want to really save lives" is rich coming from the homicidal slob who is murdering people on fishing boats in the Caribbean.

What’s in my knitting basket Wednesday? A fun little project. A Gnoel Gnome! I’ve been tempted by all the cute knitted gnomes and this one by Sarah Schira finally got me to cast on. I’m knitting it using yarn that was in my stash, some leftovers of fingering weight doubled for DK. #WIPWednesday 🧶

We are not at war with Venezuela, yet. The boats are civilian craft. The U.S. criminal code does not maintain a death penalty for drug smuggling. Due process is required before conviction or sentence. All of the 80 people killed thus far are wanton murders slain under illegal orders. All of them.

Remember—Billionaire philanthropy is PR $6.25B is a lot of money. It’s also only 4.1% of the $152B Michael Dell has hoarded. If Dell paid the 37% tax rate on the wealthy he'd pay $56.25B—and still have nearly $100B, more than he'd ever need Taxation of billionaires > philanthropy from billionaires

Don’t forget LBJ and the war on poverty. If the Dems could just divorce themselves from wall street and dirty money, grow a spine and a set of cajones, and walk the walk, that’d be super.

The deranged madman now threatens to blow up commercial airliners flying in and out of Venezuela.

🤔

Homeland Security doesn’t grasp the fact that the first Thanksgiving was about making “room at the table” for European “invaders.”

The president of the United States is insane. Full stop.

He’s always thinking about new ways to improve the lives of average Americans.

Knew Mamdani could handle things just fine. Very sure of himself

And we wonder why nothing gets done…

We know that’s not true!

I think the President of the US responding to a question about the murder of a journalist with "A lot of people didn't like that gentleman" is probably pretty bad.

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi. I hired and worked with Jamal for a year. www.washingtonpost.com/world/nation...

Quiet, piggy!

The truth will have its day. That day is now. Release all the Epstein files.

As my cat will tell you, I loves me some floof. A Love Note sweater by Tin Can Knits, Rabbitty mittens and mufatess by Mina Zillah and a Musselburgh Hat by Ysolda Teague are 3 of my favorites. #knitsky 🧶 #showmeyourknits

This was a really lovely treat to happen upon while sitting here at home knitting. Knitting and singing along to Neil Young! Have loved him and his music from the beginning. Happy Birthday Neil ❤️ youtu.be/USp4W2M1X-0?...
