I visited your site. Under "Records" I expected to find your voting record or a criminal background check, not your CBC numbers, but glad to see you're healthy. I do have a question: Is this you? www.kait8.com/2024/05/17/d... @garyhuskeyforgov.bsky.social

A Texas megachurch pastor and GOP leader has been arrested for crimes against children. Not Robert Morris, a different one. Not Josiah Anthony, a different one. Not Luke Cunningham, a different one. Not Tony Evans, a different one. Not Scott Crenshaw, a different one. Not Steve Lawson, a different o

They still haven’t found all the missing children from the floods. Why are they more worried about Illinois than about the children in Texas?

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

There now is no vaccine advisory panel.

Seeing the news… I’m okay with a search warrant being executed on John Bolton’s house… What I don’t like is that the FBI is hauling in scrap boxes for collecting evidence. Not evidence boxes, not marked up and, I’d be thinking, easily substitutable if someone wants to seriously mess him up.

Wow! Here are my top book recommendations so far for 2025. Three great books, guaranteed to raise your spirits, put a smile on your face, and make you laugh out loud. One is by @hwinkler4real.bsky.social‬ and two are by @robgotobed.bsky.social I can highly recommend all three books. #reading

@safety.bsky.app we NEED a way to unblock individual accounts that were blocked by block lists we otherwise WANT to continue to follow. Please - I think it's been over a year since I suggested this, but it has become more urgent.

Few things are tackier than social media "celebs" who play the follow/unfollow game to inflate their numbers. <yawn>

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

A tiny purple ninja on a purple paper dragon. He's my inspiration today.

How about a game of Capture the Flag? When you protest (and you will) be sure to carry it proudly - hold it firmly like a shield. Your armor against the blackbooted, jackbooted army that would brand you unpatriotic, for engaging in a First Amendment act of unfettered patriotism while you can? ⬇️

To the world: We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom. —With love, Your American allies.

April is a Foolish Month jahangiri.us/2020/april-i...

I'm watching @booker.senate.gov live right now and I'm happy to say that I see some powerful punches. It's about time! This is the leadership we need.

@t-mobileus.bsky.social you should verify your accounts using your domain.

A conversation lifted from a #FB user who lifted it from #X users going out to all my #library loving and #librarycard owning followers.

@democrats.org I don't see you "fighting." Time for brass knuckles (among other brass things). www.livingitwitholiviatroye.com/p/command-th...

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

The Monty Python crew wishes they could have come up with something this good.

I wrote this to Zelenskyy.

NO, THIS IS NOT REAL. If I were Zelenskyy, it would have been. I have SO much respect for President Zelenskyy's diplomatic restraint and leadership under immense pressure.

I had a hand in this. 🙂 April is National Poetry Month. No time like the present to support your favorite (I HOPE!) poets.
