It is now December 1st, and I have to lock in my health care insurance plan by December 15th for coverage in January. Where is the compromise plan that we were promised as part of ending the shutdown?

This new Target policy is a nightmare for introverts. How can I opt out of this? www.usatoday.com/story/grocer...

Way to go Dems, we had a great night last night. I know you want to ride on this momentum, but can we please hold off on the texts and emails for a week, maybe ten days? I really need a break from being bombarded by everyone asking for money.

And there it is. My 2026 Allegheny County Pennsylvania health plan has gone up by 20% or $200/month. I would have to drop down to a $9200 deductible bronze plan to save enough to make changing plans worth it and even then, that plan is still $807/month. @deluzio.house.gov @fetterman.senate.gov

Ancestry DNA just updated my origins results and it now shows that I am 2% Ukranian so now my neighbors can shut up about me flying the Ukranian flag in support of Ukraine during the Russian invasion.

I like BlueSky and their generous link policy, but I am annoyed by links out to paywalled sites, especially when the site is actively generating ad revenue. Pick a lane: Ad revenue or Paywall P.S. I am unlikely to pay so....

You can amuse a cat by playing bird videos for them, lately I have found that you can amuse me by opening the Flightradar24 app and I will scroll around for hours looking at active flights and trying to guess the type of plane based on the plane icon size (I am not very accurate).

After listening to Trumps rambling about Autism, Tylenol, and vaccines, I have to ask, who exactly do I need to give my address to so that I can be raptured in the first wave tomorrow?

I support Ukraine so much that I have temporarily permitted CNN to play on my TV, the first time in 10 months. (But now Trump is becoming an embarrassment again and I am re-thinking this decision) #IStandWithUkraine

Trump is Putin’s bitch, Putin is going to play Trump for the imbecile he is, Trump is going to give Putin “2 weeks” to present a cease fire plan, TACO will reemerge in 2 weeks when Putin publicly laughs at Trumps futile threats. #IStandWithUkraine

On the eve of the United States 249th birthday, we are deep into the "FO" portion of "FAFO". What have we done to ourselves?

If Trump is so keen on increasing manufacturing in the U.S. and creating great, high paying jobs, why is he being so dodgy on allowing Ukraine to buy U.S. made weapons? (This is rhetorical of course, we all know why)

Crossing my fingers that my 2010 SAAB can hold on for four more years, there is no chance of a new car being purchased while Trump is President.

Any member of the House or Senate that votes in favor of a bailout to farmers or industries hurt by Trump’s new tariff plan needs to be primaried in their next election. Trump owns the fallout of this plan not the U.S. taxpayer who will end up paying the tariff AND the bailout.

Happy Liberation Day to all those that celebrate unnecessary trade wars because the orange idiot can’t comprehend that tariffs are ultimately paid by the consumer.

If you are mad as hell today, post it, but also find a reputable Ukranian charity and donate to the true heroes standing up for democracy.

It is truly impossible to express in words the level of disgust I have for Trump/MAGA/Musk. We are barely one month into his presidency. I am an atheist, but this is one time I wish there was a god that could step in and save us.

Okay, finally Trump has done something I can support since recently I had some tests done and the hospital (which is owned by my BC/BS carrier) told me that I had just a $35 co pay, then my BC/BS carrier completely denied the claims and now I am facing a $5k bill www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/...

I wish BlueSky had 👍👎instead of ❤️so that I can properly register my agreement/disagreement with content instead of using the ❤️just to acknowledge the post exists and that I read it.

School House Rock did not prepare me for a second Trump presidency.

@gochag.bsky.social is one of the most important young voices I have run across on the subject of Georgian, if not all European, politics. His current thread lays out a very detailed case on why every western country needs to be backing the fight to restore a democracy free from Russian influence.

Is Bluesky going to have community notes? We are not 24 hours into the Trump presidency, and I am already seeing posts, from accounts that I normally would trust, that have false or misleading information in the rush to post an "outrage" and garner views/likes.

This is not good at all. The war on transgendered citizens continues brought to you by the anti-science, does not care about facts party. LGBQ's: just because we were not targeted day 1 do not ever for a minute think that we will be immune from their hatred. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

One of Biden's executive orders (Executive Order 14004) Trump reversed allowed for all persons regardless of gender identity to serve in the US military, so Trump has now effectively banned transgendered individuals from the US military. www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/ex...

Here is the full list of Biden's executive orders that Trump has reversed. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Well, it is only 1,461 days until January 20, 2029, and the end of Trump's reign, hopefully for good this time. Let's hope we make it.

For god's sake, I hope someone is double checking all of the boxes being packed up from the outgoing Biden administration to be sure that there is nothing being carted out of the White House or Executive Offices that is subject to the Presidential Records Act.

The R's have officially started the process to repeal the inflation reduction act, doing so will eliminate all of the prescription drug price reforms of the Biden admin, driving up costs for most citizens. We are deep into the FAFO phase of the election outcome. www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

Dear Meta, I am a member of the LGBTQIA community and I am not mentally ill, that you think this is acceptable speech is insulting, thank you for giving me a reason to delete Instagram since I dumped Facebook and Threads long ago. Any ad revenue you received from my browsing will now be gone.

This article in The Atlantic is a real eye opener with respect to the state of the U.S. military’s ability to produce the weapons of war due to antiquated production facilities, limited contractors/competition, changing face of war, and supply chain issues. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

If you are a supporter of democracy in Ukraine don’t forget our friends fighting to keep their democracy in Georgia. Please consider following @gochag.bsky.social and @jezko.bsky.social as they fight on to prevent Russian corruption and champion a future in the EU 🇬🇪🇪🇺

The R's war on trans youth continues as once again they use military funding to strip away rights. They snuck in a provision to eliminate the support of gender affirming care for children of military families under 18 years of age. Why are they so obsessed? www.huffpost.com/entry/republ...

The Ukrainian children’s letters to St. Nicholas in this post are heartbreaking. These are innocent children that that just want to be children and not live under the evils of Putin’s war.

The LPGA - you must have been born female OR transitioned prior to puberty Tennessee - No puberty blockers for you Blocking gender affirming care for minors is cruel and shortsighted especially when you are going to turn around and complain about trans athletes

I wish every retailer would start showing the original purchase price of an item then show the tariff (if applicable), then show the final price. Maybe low information voters will finally understand how tariffs work and what they for in 2024.

Can we stop saying that elections have consequences and instead say that low information voters cause consequences for everyone because of their stupidity?

Pamela Brown on CNN just destroyed OK School Superintendent Ryan Walters on his plan to teach the Bible in classrooms. She came prepared with facts about the founding fathers and OK school performance ranking.

No matter who Trump picks for Transportation Secretary, they will pale in comparison to Sec Pete Buttigieg. Seriously, when in the past did you ever really care about the Transportation Department like you have for the past four years? @chastenbuttigieg.bsky.social when is he joining Bluesky?

Be aware before you follow me: I am mostly on here to yell into the wind and occasionally start/join a conversation pertaining to U.S. politics, Ukraine, Georgia, and LGBT issues.

Is there a betting pool of how many days after inauguration that Vance will invoke the 25th amendment and rid the world of Trump?
