When MSM reports on a Tr*mp speech, they try to describe it as though it was about policy instead of being a scrambled pile of rehashed nonsense. Same for lies from his administration: RFK Jr is called a vaccine “skeptic” instead of “denier” or “conspiracy theorist.” We’re not getting the truth.

"A newly created account appeared to invest $30,000 Friday in Maduro's exit. After Maduro went into custody Saturday morning, that same investor netted $436,759." www.axios.com/2026/01/03/m...

It’s a shame that Tr*mp decided to start a criminal war over fossil fuel, when he could have supported the windmills and the solar panels and geothermal and even nuclear power. It would have been easier and also legal. I guess he didn’t want to be caught doing something smart.

Dogs are luckier than we are. We have to wonder and speculate about whether there’s a god and what god looks like, but dogs can live with their god, see god every day, and feel god’s touch often. I don’t believe in a god, but I envy dogs.

No worries. The cheeseburgers are working.

#NoKings event in Fairhope, Al. A woman was arrested for "lewd conduct" because she was dressed in penis suit with a sign that said "No dick-tator" 3 cops on a 53 yo woman.

Before I follow or follow back, I vet closely. If all someone has on their page is reposts, including under “replies,” I assume they’re a bot and won’t follow — even if I like the reposts. I want to see a person’s independent thoughts, even when I don’t totally agree.

The Republicans (I’ll never call them the Grand Old Party) released the video of Jack Smith’s 8-hour deposition, in which they scored NO points, in the middle of the night. They never learn that they can’t win by giving honest people a platform.

We no longer have a free press if it has sold itself for money.

This is how much I hate T***p. Thanks to Cherry Pie @cherrywishniak.bsky.social!

Holiday gift suggestion a bit late: I ask would-be givers to contribute to one of my favorite charities (e.g. Bat Conservation Int’l, Feeding America, Reproductive Freedom for All, Pro Publica, UNICEF), and I’ll contribute to theirs in their honor. I have enough things. (Kids get books or cash.)

Sums it up well.

Tr*mp keeps renaming American icons after himself. He’s just writing graffiti. He must know they’ll all be renamed and his name erased the moment he’s gone, just like painting over the scrawls on the sides of subway cars.

If the morons in the audience could actually see the test he took, might they think their dear leader’s an idiot too?

ICE and the FBI conscripts are not looking for criminals. Catching criminals is too hard! They’re looking for gardeners, preschool teachers, taco sellers, restaurant cooks, and day laborers looking for work to feed their families.

Now we’ve “seized” an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela. Our government has gone from serial murder to piracy on the high seas.

The Supreme Court keeps giving Tr*mp more and more power. Has it occurred to them that he won’t be president forever? And that in two years we may elect a Democrat? I wonder if they’re ready for a real activist president, who will have the power to, oh, add more justices and impose term limits. /

Relay from BLUESKY.....

Tr*mp started his career in the public eye by pretending to fire people from fake jobs. Now he’s worked his way up to being in charge of an administration that has murdered* at least 86 people. What do you think is next? *It’s not a war crime, since we’re not at war. It’s just murder.

Bye bye

I go to a rally for democracy every Saturday. It’s exhilarating and energizing, but so many of us are old ladies (and old men). Come on, kids! This may be more important in the long run than whatever else you’re doing. Join us! And no, I can’t be specific about why it’s important, but I feel it.

I’m watching Bondi praising the Dump administration for identifying the alleged pipe bomb guy from 9-11. Patel is standing next to her, and the expression on his face looks like he thinks he’s about to be arrested for placing the bombs.

I hate it when my DR orders a random MRI for me 🤔🙄

WATCH: “It's hard to believe that this is the person who's actually running the country minute to minute, leaving us to wonder who's filling the power vacuum of the napping president,” says Chris Hayes.

Future Pope Leo in 1982. This photo deserves to be under #fashionsky tag Love the whole look

It’s almost a year till the midterms. Dems (including the candidates!) have plenty of time to draft and vet healthcare and immigration solutions, among others. Get started now! We need specific platforms if you want our votes. Republicans can do the same, including rejecting Tr*mp.

The Network Formerly Known as MSNBC says Dump is considering firing Kashyap Patel. Patel was confirmed by a vote of only 51-49 (two R senators voted with the Ds not to confirm). I haven’t heard that anyone has grown to like him better now.

Just to be clear, the UCMJ Art. 90 (10 U.S.C. 890) provides: [Lawfulness of the order.] (i) Inference of lawfulness. An order requiring the performance of nance of a military duty or act may be inferred to be lawful, and it is disobeyed at the peril of the subordinate. This inference does not /

By making the outrageous statement that members of Congress should be killed for reminding soldiers that they shouldn’t obey illegal orders, Tr*mp got us all talking about him again. He considers this “owning the libs.” He does it again and again.

📌NOTE: A sick and demented president calling for the death of political opponents is exactly why these politicians felt it necessary to remind our military not to follow illegal orders from a sick and demented president.

House and Senate Republicans had a little taste of freedom from the orange felon when they voted to make him release the E files. I wonder whether they’re starting to sense that they can cut themselves loose from him and get some of their power back as a coequal branch of government.

A lot of people think Tr*mp will now say the E files can’t be released, because they’re the subject of an ongoing investigation [*of Democrats*] [* which he just ordered DoJ to do*]. So why not just release the parts of the files that aren’t about Democrats??

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that I think the wheels are starting to come off the Dump Train. Kind of apprehensive about what might replace it, but in general I tend to be an optimist. People don’t like to admit that they were conned and stolen from, but they’re noticing.
