Donald Trump is building a ballroom twice the size of the White House. He says it’s “his money,” but it’s really from companies chasing favors. Meanwhile, farmers can’t sell soybeans and the government’s shut down. This isn’t what Americans voted for.

#YesOnProp50 Pass it on!

Today I am thinking about farmers who voted against themselves 3 times for the top 1% and now are on the brink of losing everything and wondering this third time, if they learned any lessons or if they would still vote for racism against their own well-being.

Hey yam tits, These were bigger than both your inaugural days, combined.

An autism "registry" culled from private medical records could potentially violate federal privacy laws and runs the risk of abuse. It also harkens back to a time when disabled people were labeled, segregated, and excluded. We won't go back.

Bluesky is collegial and interesting, the way Twitter used to be. Bonus: most people can spell.

Jake Tapper: "One 60 Minutes source tells me, 'The lawsuit was baseless. Bill Owens wouldn't apologize. He wouldn't bend. He fought for the broadcast and for independent journalism and that cost him his job. It's shameful.'"

In Pope Francis’s last public address, he preached care of the marginalized, the vulnerable, and migrants, saying: “I would like all of us to hope anew and to revive our trust in others, including those who are different than ourselves.” May we heed his wish.

Maybe next time let’s not elect someone who runs because they’re trying to not go to jail?

Sheehy says the Constitution is "pretty clear" that Trump can't serve a third term

The news in rural PA this week: Trump wants to close the busiest mine safety office in the country, and the National Fire Academy. Are we supposed to believe that student visa holders threaten our community more than fires, collapsing mines, and black lung disease?

Hi, BlueSky. It's Hillary. I've joined up here to help get the word out about an important election in Wisconsin tomorrow, and other ways to defend our democracy against those who think votes can be bought.

In our local government, people are complaining about the city’s spending to plant more trees in their urban areas. Apparently, they don’t need trees… Seems about right since their brain has no use for them.

Dems should propose a law that immediately requires every fed agency to post on @bsky.app account, every outlay with a detailed description, $, and a link to existing gov sites with in depth details Rather than trying to keep Elon out, pre-empt him so he cant miss characterize spending.

Q: “You said $50 million in condoms were sent to Hamas. That wasn’t true.” Musk: “Some of the things I say will be incorrect. Nobody is gonna bat 1000.” 🤷🏻

Crockett: "If feels as if y'all have just decided that y'all are gonna castrate your constitutional duty & hand it over to someone who was unelected. It doesn't matter how many cheerleaders he had on the field campaigning for him. That doesn't mean he gets to go in and sit atop any of our agencies"

Judge rules that Black church in DC, which won a $2.8 million default judgment against the Proud Boys, now gains control over the trademark “Proud Boys.” The far-right group is barred from selling any related merchandise or symbols without the consent of the church. Gift link:

NEW: DoJ employees asked for guarantees in writing for the deferred resignation Fork in the Road plan. They were sent this. It strips the signer of the right to sue, and also says if you commit a felony, you’re not eligible for federal employment. Oh, the irony.

Is it just me or does anyone else feel like hope is lost?

I have many regrets about Earth, but making humans in a wide range of colors, shapes, and temperaments is not one of them. Celebrate thy diversity. Love each other.
