Trump pardon undoubtedly forthcoming www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

I think YouTube has my number in their year-end review.

TN-7 may turn out to be a long term win for Democrats if the loss helps them learn that they need to match candidates to districts. Red states/districts need moderate/conservative Dems who can appeal to broad spectrum of red state voters.

I read that everyone has high amounts of microplastics in our bodies and no one really knows how this will affect us. In an effort to cut back, I’ve been trying to use glasses rather than plastic cups. But then it dawned on me, I’m pouring into glass from plastic bottles. 🤷

"By telling the world that Venezuelan airspace is closed, Trump is already embroiling America in an utterly unnecessary war of aggression even if no shots have been fired at the Venezuelan military yet. But shots have been fired"- @captainkudzu.bsky.social ordinary-times.com/2025/12/02/w...

Community Coffee is now $12.49 per bag. That’s twice what it was under Biden at the same store. Thanks, Trump.

Killing survivors at sea elicits a visceral, bipartisan reaction among anyone who has served or sailed in the ocean. https://www.theracketnews.com/p/absence-of-valor-at-sea

Thou shalt not pretend that you're at war with drug traffickers while pardoning drug traffickers.

This is an unprovoked act of war.

Hegseth: Kill any survivors of boat strikes. DOD in a perfect world: Uh, no, sir. I discussed this with our lawyers. They consider it murder. ads.getyarn.io/yarn-clip/40...

Even if orders to kill survivors of boat strikes turn out not to be illegal, they are immoral. Especially for Christians.

Did someone ask for a war for Christmas? Not exactly going to be a surprise attack. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

Trump was looking for an excuse to “pause” all immigration. He’s been anti-immigrant from the start, not just ant-illegal immigration.

The man who murdered a National Guard soldier should absolutely face justice. Immigrants should be vetted carefully, especially if they come from a hostile country. Criminal acts by one (or a few) immigrants does not mean all immigrants are violent criminals.

Welcome to Thanksgiving 2025, where the president pardons the turkey but calls for execution of his political opponents.

Russia has released its latest peace plan by u/Chewie83

The murders of the National Guardsmen in DC are abhorrent. The violence was absolutely not justified, but let’s keep two things in mind: 1. We don’t currently know the motive 2. The NG should never have been deployed to DC in the first place, and the time limit was long past

Really good stuff on community notes and fact checking from our friend @captainkudzu.bsky.social ordinary-times.com/2025/11/26/n...

Unmasking foreign accounts is definitely the most (and one of the few) positive changes the Elon Musk regime has made.

American Mood right now.

Things like the Comey non-indictment are what you get when you pick loyalists for jobs instead of hiring the best people.

Just spitballing here, but I wonder if the person who seems deathly afraid of having the Epstein files released and who was president at the time might have had something to do with Epstein's death.

This is a statement I received from a Epstein survivor who is a Jane Doe. Share it widely.

Good talk from Andrew. We had our first experience with this when my MIL passed from Alzheimer’s last spring. US health system works okay until you get to point where you have catastrophic illness and can’t work.

Even if the Epstein files are never released, the sheer intensity of Trump’s freak out at the possibility of their release and the lengths he goes to in keeping them secret is a good indication of what he thinks they contain… and/or a guilty conscience.

Correlation isn’t necessarily causation, but this matches perfectly with the rise of Trump and MAGA’s corruption of the church. news.gallup.com/poll/697676/...

The aurora borealis is visible in Georgia again tonight! Very faint but visible to the naked eye.

The Democrats-in-disarray folks would do well to remember 2013 when Republicans were in disarray after a failed shutdown. Less than a year later, GOP won Senate and expanded House majority in landslide midterm win. And both sides should figure out shutdowns don’t work.

A wordle milestone today Wordle 1,606 4/6* ⬜🟨🟨⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟨🟨⬜ ⬜🟩🟨🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

The end of the shutdown looks different when you realize that Trump and the Republicans weren’t being punished. Federal employees, military personnel, SNAP recipients, and airline travelers were.

The shutdown needs to end. GOP may see this as a victory but it will be pyrrhic one. Voters are not going to be happy with rising insurance premiums (or with Dems) but elections have consequences and country saw fit to put the gvt into MAGA hands. Hopefully America will never repeat that mistake.

“As of November 5th, it estimated that U.S.A.I.D.’s dismantling has already caused the deaths of six hundred thousand people, two-thirds of them children.” Am I my brother's keeper? Genesis 1:49 www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

If you doubt that food prices are up, I just paid $50 for 10 pounds of ground beef at Sam’s. The same pack cost $5 less last March and $10 less in May 2024. (I looked back at old transactions in the app.) Aldi had similar prices, especially allowing for more fat in the meat.

Fall has fell, mainly in my driveway. 77 today, down to 28 Sunday night. Welcome to the South.

Christians (defined as *genuine* believers in Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord) *CANNOT* support this.

Fall was in the air today at Amicalola Falls in Georgia. Peak colors and beautiful weather (until the rain started)!

Whew! I made it to the end of the Appalachian Trail! Now I just need to do the middle and the other end. #hiking

If sandwich shops don’t start offering a sandwich named “the acquittal” then what are we even doing

My big emotion after seeing this week’s election results? Relief.

The corporate propaganda machine colluding with the Trump propaganda machine to lie to the American people about Thanksgiving.

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

GOP hopes that Trump will take the L and move on if SCOTUS rules age him. he won’t be able to leave well enough alone but Bessent has already said that they have “lots of other authorities that can be used” for tariffs. Sounds a lot like Biden on student loans.

The indications are that if tonight proves anything, it’s that Trump does not control the electoral system (yet).

What if Mamdani wins and instead of governing like a wild-eyed socialist, he’s a pretty standard mayor? I have a feeling the sky may not be falling.

You know what else might help Nigerian Christians? Allowing some of them to immigrate as refugees and asylum seekers.

This was always a delusional idea and voters deserve what they get for believing it.

I spent the last full day of long afternoons hiking Georgia’s Cloudland Canyon.

@atticus59914029.bsky.social I just wanted to reach out and make sure you’re okay.
