Well, I’ve had a nice time on BlueSky, and it’s apparently over. The right wing jerks didn’t follow me here from Twitter, but the left leaning ass wipes have found me. Same problem, ignorance and intolerance of other views, and you’re allowed to disagree. Same old crap, different platform.

As it turns out, the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun *isn’t* a good guy with a gun—it can be a good guy *without* a gun. Just another NRA lie.

Probably says only good things about me, that my son’s best friends and girlfriend from High School, have followed me on socials for decades. My daughter’s dear friends are very dear to me as well! I want them to be happy, and knowing their friends helps me to know they are!

Make Congress take action and unmask ICE!

Don't try to tell me that the United States is not a White supremisis nation

The Soulless Train

My ‘Ms. Santie Claws’ has kicked in! This week I’m making soap, chocolates, and liqueurs as gifts for friends and family. Christmas shopping is almost done! I love giving presents! This year I get to add a family of Bedouin children to my gifting list. This is SO fun!!

Want to see who came over from Twitter, and brought their intolerance here? Comment on a story about Muslims and Jews, without praising one side (guess which). You’ll see very quickly.

Bluesky has entered the “crap we should seem making Twitter gross” territory. Take this test: disagree with someone about politics, then watch how many people pile on with intolerant, hateful, sexist responses. If it’s more than 1, it’s a downward slope. Happily, not a steep slope here.

Mark Kelly, I will support your every effort to protect our democracy.

Huh, my evangelical family HATES “foreigners.” It’s like they’ve never read that book they keep waiving around.

I’m 65. My daughter just told me she didn’t want to spend Xmas with me, because I was drinking too much last year. She was right. I was wrong. I’ve spent the last year getting straight. I thought I taught my children to be kind and forgiving. Sadly, they won’t give their own mother any grace.

What he said: 💯 🎯

Stagflations; I was hoping it would only be a concept I had to teach in High School Economics class, not that I’d have to live through it! The Reagan recession left us all even worse off. I could barely afford to raise 2 kids in Michigan, with 2 incomes! Reagan HURT this country so badly.

As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

Was just hugging my neighbor & telling her where I’ve hidden my key, in case ICE is in the neighborhood. I hugged her as she cried for her husband & children. She’s afraid to leave her house. You could NOT ask for better neighbors! Her husband takes care of my lawn cuz I’m mildly disabled. FU TRUMP!

Place National Guard in harm’s way for no good reason. Two members are tragically and unnecessarily shot. The reckless regime’s response: We’re sending 500 more National Guard troops! What a disgrace.

I have made lifelong friends on a tour of Egypt and Jordan. Some from the tour itself, but some from the people I met along the way. I feel as if I needed more time to bond with people where I traveled. I met two very dear friends in Jordan, in Petra and Wadi Rum. A real joy!!

How we beat back the corporate takeover of America: 1. Break up corporate monopolies 2. Continue building union power 3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

Just posted on Instagram, but wanted to share here:

And a bigger heartfelt FU to those who said I was overreacting in 2015. I warned people he was corrupt and would be an authoritarian, there was no way he could be anything else. He’s essentially a Nazi.

They aren’t “ICE,” they’re GESTAPO, tRump’s secret police. Even Hitler didn’t mask his Nazis! #ICEareNazis

The jurors did not swallow the government's case They had no appetite to convict The government tried to get them to bite, but couldn't So the jurors spit out an acquittal

If I were a low life scum, I’d be taking advantage of all these moronic Trump worshippers. But, I’m a high minded liberal and I have a moral compass.

Well, until a MAGA judge gets ahold it that order!

I got suspended from a teaching job for saying Trump was a fascist, in 2016. It was on my PRIVATE Twitter account, so yeah, this is fascism.

So, gave myself LOADS of time before my flight to Istanbul, and of COURSE the flight is delayed. Also, bad idea to have drinks last night. Ended up forgetting my hat and spare shoes. I’m off on a trip I’ve dreamt of since I was very little and would flip through the pages of our Encyclopedia set!

The GOP can’t even govern when they control all 3 branches of government!

There already was an “I Hate America” rally. It was on January 6th, 2021. The President spoke at it.

Someone bought a ton of inflatable costumes in Portland and is handing them out to protesters. youtube.com/shorts/trdvE...

Gosh, let Americans starve and feed Argentina.

Winter Street is transformed! We’re bringing public art, live performances, small businesses, and more to Downtown Crossing with #ColorFlows, including a beautiful new mural by Massiel Grullón.

Mike Johnson has now had the House adjourned for 72 of the last 84 days. Epstein Shutdown.

One of the most inspirational quotes I’ve ever seen!

I’ve had a good life. I worked for decades, earned a retirement account, hopefully taught thousands of teens history and government. Don’t even think teachers aren’t doing their best!

This is what happens when your country is run by incompetent knuckleheads.

Don’t bow!
