The national average gas price is now over $4/gallon — the highest level in four years. Big Oil, which spent almost $100 million backing Trump in 2024, could see a nearly $60B windfall from these price shocks. Trump's buddies will make a killing while you pay the price at the pump.

This is so good!

In the 1430s, some guy wrote an anti-foreigner poem that was very angry that merchants were having themselves a good ole time in the Cotswolds. Libelle of Englyshe Polycye (c. 1436)

53 years ago today, the last U.S. combat troops left South Vietnam, ending America’s direct role in the Vietnam War. I remember seeing this anti-war PSA back then. Its message is sadly still very relevant today as Trump drags us into another unpopular war.

NEVER Stop:

In case you're wondering about the size of the Persian Gulf.

So true.

I call it Operation Epstein FUBAR.

Just going to leave this here... Just in case someone tries to tell us something different.

Surely not! Corruption in Trumpland?!

Hey everyone! It’s Josh, the developer of antifreeze.app. For those who don’t know, AntiFreeze is an ICE sighting reporting and alert app that is censorship-resistant due to its infrastructure. Because of popular demand, I’m going to be using BlueSky more often. #technology #immigration #ice

Democrats have tried to fund TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard 7 times. Republicans have blocked these attempts at every turn. President Trump is holding critical safety agencies hostage to push through a voter suppression bill and shield a lawless ICE operation from accountability.

There’s a tweet about everything…..

Senate Democrats voted multiple times to fund TSA separately from ICE. Republicans voted it down every time. Republicans are to blame for today’s airport chaos — all because they’re happy to keep letting Trump’s thugs terrorize our communities with no consequences. Remember this.

#womenshistory You've likely heard of the Mercury 7, American's first 7 astronauts. Men like Alan Shepard, first US astronaut in space. But did you know 13 women also went through the same rigorous training? The Mercury 13 did everything the men did, but were ultimately disbanded by NASA.

It's so funny. "The USPS losses money" So does the federal highway commission. But we all understand that if we didn't invest money in this you couldn't drive anywhere. But for some reason we've let shithead delivery companies convince you otherwise.

If we’re buying oil from Iran while we’re at war with Iran, doesn’t that make us the dumbest sponsor of terrorism in the world?

#womenshistory Engineer Frances "Poppy" Northcutt was the only woman in Mission Control during the Apollo 8 flight to the moon. Northcutt and her team designed the return-to-Earth trajectory. She identified calculation mistakes, and lowered the amount of fuel needed to swing around the moon.

Georgia voting calendar for 2026. Posting this for Georgia voters because finding this calendar is a pain in the butt.

#women'shistory Hypatia of Alexandra (c. 355-415 AD) was a leading mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher who lived during the turbulent late Roman era. Her Neoplatonist philosophy labeled her a pagan. Her murder in 415 AD by a mob presaged the beginning of the Dark Ages.

Neil Armstrong walked on the moon in 1969, but Margaret Hamilton helped the astronauts get there. She led the Software Engineering Division of the MIT Instrumentation Laboratory, which developed the Apollo spacecraft’s guidance and navigation system. Her work was vital to the mission’s success.

"The Trump administration is reviewing proposals to break up one of the world’s leading climate and weather laboratories, transfer its work to universities and private companies, take away its aircraft, and sell its property in Boulder, Colo." 😡😡😡😡 www.nytimes.com/2026/03/13/c...

If you search "AO3" here on Blue Sky, you'd think AO3 is all about male/male shipping, and it's true that's the single largest segment. AO3 isn't a single niche--it has over 77,000 fandoms, from "G" to explicit. For Caturday, here are my Caturday short stories. archiveofourown.org/series/4960621

Ada, Countess of Lovelace is often called the world's first programmer. Estranged daughter of Lord Byron and mathematician, Ada worked with Charles Babbage to develop programs for his Analytical Engine in the 1840s. In today's terms, it had a CPU, memory, and I/O. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rtK...

JFC Trump is nuts. The things coming out of the White House while we are at war is not just crazy it's off a cliff. Now his death cult is saying high gas prices are good for the U.S. The secretary of defense is saying he can't wait till CNN is censored by a billionaire. Democracy is dead.

Wi-Fi exists because of a Hollywood movie star. Hedy Lamarr. Often called the mother of Wi-Fi, she co-invented frequency-hopping technology in 1942 that became the foundation of modern wireless communication. Inventor. Actress. A mind far ahead of its time. #SheShed #V4V #WomensHistoryMonth

Julia Child (1912-2004) is best known for French cooking. During WWII, she was a top-secret researcher working directly for the head of OSS. Tasked to create a shark repellent, she "cooked up" a repellent still in use today, leading to her later interest in cooking. www.cia.gov/stories/stor...

Jeff must take along the Fox News hosts who want merchant marine captains to "man up" and sail through the strait. Do a live broadcast from Bezos' yacht. That'll show the world!

The level where you flip the board and declare victory

If Democrats rigged elections - we would have had Hillary, Kamala, a Democratic Congress and a legitimate Supreme Court. We would have our freedom, universal health care, better infrastructure and our lives would be so much better.

This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians 2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor 3) Donors make huge profit 4) Repeat We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective. He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"

Lucifer has a point

A new Senate report alleges that over 1,000 FEMA contracts, grants, or disaster assistance awards were delayed under Kristi Noem's watch. Why? Because she demanded to sign off on expenses over $100,000 — which delayed aid to victims of floods and hurricanes. "Efficiency."

FBI fired agents probing Iranian threats over ties to Mar-a-Lago investigation. “The ouster of at least a dozen staffers from a counterintelligence unit, known as CI-12, which operates out of the Washington Field Office, was ordered by FBI Director Kash Patel. www.alternet.org/mar-a-lago-f...

Our taxes are paying for this instead of healthcare.
