Fires burning too close by make for an eerie and awesome sight.
Thoughts spoken out loud often cause me grief. I believe a moving body & time outdoors heals the soul. Love gardening, books (all genres) & mutts—own two pit mixes and a cat. 🐾 Not into DMs.

I know I'm shouting into the wind but let us hope this day is uneventful @aunthaha.bsky.social @unapologeticallyb.bsky.social @giantmetropolitan.bsky.social @akerbak13.bsky.social @chiitan-prt.bsky.social @robertshend.bsky.social @lormanda4.bsky.social @judi1218.bsky.social @rocketgurl.bsky.social
If the GOP is cool with going to the “war department” then you know they just have no independent thought left. Just betas
#Seaweed farms are a dual solution for climate change & sustainable energy. - don't require freshwater, fertilizer, or arable land to grow, making it one of the most eco-friendly resources - naturally absorbs massive amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis helping 1/...
It's getting hot in DC folks👇😁

Yeah, this isn’t a chant. It’s a request that makes Dems look as clueless as people are beginning to realize they are. All for what? A camera shot and clicks? No wonder maga morons are winning.
"She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it. She was not protecting lives at a gate in Iraq; she was forcing her way through windows in the Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power." New from @markhertling.bsky.social:
@nealkatyal.bsky.social: “You’ve got the president who's imposed the largest tax increase on American consumers since 1993 … and he did it without Congress saying one word. That is not our constitutional structure.”
Yeah, this should happen, but how un-strategic to say this when there’s not a snowballs chance in hell. This complete lack of awareness makes Dems look weak and bolsters red narratives. Cluelessness isn’t a luxury the opposition can afford right now.
The majority military vote went to a draft dodger. That was the first time they dishonored themselves. Clearly, wasn’t the last.
Ashley Babbit dishonored her service by committing insurrection against her country. While her death is absolutely tragic and I wish it hadn’t happened, the Air Force giving her honors is in itself a dishonor.
Their cluelessness is hilarious!
Religion might bring “peace to your heart” but it steals intelligence from your mind.
Yesterday in the Oval Office Donald Trump said that some people in the US want him to be a dictator. I’m running for Congress to stop that from happening. Please chip in our average donation of $32 to help me get there: Katforillinois.com/donate
note how Trump on a daily basis is trying to normalize the idea that he's a dictator
Concert outside the White House! #cdnpoli
This is not who we are. We must join together to call this out, to make more people understand what is happening and work to stop it.
Putting the military on the street will lower crime. It does in North Korea, did in Nazi Germany, and in the book 1984. The question isn’t will it lower crime. The question is do we want to be a nation governed like this. Until 6 minutes ago the GOP believed in LOCAL control.
Pritzker gets it.
TX -v- CA REDISTRICTING— TX: Gerrymander demanded by President Trump CA: Voters decide! TX: Permanent CA: Temporary TX: Preemptive—GOP must rig system as unpopular policies risk majority. CA: Instigated by TX gerrymander to preserve balance! TX: Redistricting ends democracy! CA: Preserves it!
Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."
Yes. Please.
Anyone thinking further division will help save democracy is not paying attention and is part of the problem.
Tough week for those of us who believe in democracy & the rule of law. But don’t lose faith. Keep up the resistance. It’ll get worse, but we’ll prevail. My weekend Substack. All those heroes out there. Check it out.👇 open.substack.com/pub/socialco...
Been following Walsh since he 1st went onto Twitter. I can honestly say his jump to blue didn’t just happen. It’s been years in the making and he paid a price. And I was also very slow to forgive but in my book, he’s atoned.
Kid Rock: I will no longer sell my music in California. Scott Baio: I will no longer act in California. Governor Newsom: My policies are working.
The second amendment guarantees the right to a militia to guard against federal tyranny. But if a president can use that force against its own state, against the wishes of that state, then it is no militia at all and a clear violation of the second amendment.
Happy cows
Your dose of cuteness 🦒🥰🥰🥰 Good morning friends
Way to go, San Francisco!! 👏👏
I honestly don't know what I did to deserve this incredible tribute. I can only say I'm honored, flattered, and humbled—and, of course, deeply grateful to everyone who made this accolade possible. I pledge to do my utmost to live up to it. 🙏🏼🤗
Forget the Senate—this is the kind of dark horse presidential candidate Dems need to win! www.politico.com/news/2025/08...
Can’t wait till this portrait of one of our nations greatest and most consequential Presidents is back in its duly earned place in early 2029.
Felon Trump & Co-President Stephen "Sociopath" Miller are causing illegally disappeared immigrants to be kept in foreign torture prisons. They want unchecked abuses, dodging the courts & laws. These actions are deliberately intended to terrorize people.
Trump: “Ukraine! Give Russia large swaths of your country so I can get a Nobel Peace Prize!”
Local police need to remember state citizens, NOT the fed govt., pay their salaries and their very generous pensions! Maybe Californians need to put pension changes on the this November’s special ballot to remind them who butters their bread!
Simply read any thread on Bluesky to find people refusing to vote for anyone involved in AIPAC, or a person with past homeless policies, or too centrist, the list goes on and on, while willfully ignoring an authoritarian autocracy will eliminate all progress in areas of concern. Nonsensical.
www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
I can’t believe I found it. This time I bought it.
Ukrainians didn't surrender in 2014, when the world refused even to recognize russian aggression. Ukrainians didn't surrender in 2022, when the world expected us to fall in 72h. Ukrainians won't surrender in 2025, either. For us, freedom and sovereignty are not empty words.

Policy? American politics are so beyond policies. It’s now about ideology—you believe in a constitutional democracy or an authoritarian autocracy. Debate policies if we ever regain democracy.
The left is too busy worrying about purity tests to realize without democracy all progressive policies die.
@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "This guy is trying to get a Nobel Peace Prize? When he's bringing war to the American people? He sent the United States Marines into the United States of America."
Friend sent me this. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
If you’re under any illusions about what an authoritarian personality cult the GOP has become, they’re not hiding it:
Crowd at Audi Field chanting “Free D.C.” at the Spirit match. #freedc
New episode just dropped
Putin must’ve complimented the pedo felon’s tie because he’s once again aligned with Russia against Ukraine. apple.news/Aw_D-6cxdT9K...
Imagine if they’d had sandwiches. 🥪
Do not normalize the military on our streets. Do not accept it. It should not happen in this country. It is not America. Do not fucking normalize it. Do not fucking accept it. Stand against it.
“Give Gavin the Nobel” is a t-shirt I want!
Yup. Get them the fuck outta here.
Oh, you again?
Such pettiness 🤭
GCN is Newsom’s ‘trumpian alter ego’ and I’m loving him! 😁
Trump wants a police state. Plain & simple. Today’s show, 11am ET/8am PST, right here.👇 m.youtube.com/@socialcontr...
South Park’s ratings have been setting records. The season 27 premiere delivered 6 million cross-platform viewers and had the show's biggest share in 25 years.

Rather my tax dollars go toward Puerto Ricans who’ll appreciate the help, than a red state who dumps on CA, all while taking fed handouts we fund.
I just approved the deployment of California resources to Puerto Rico ahead of Tropical Storm Erin. We’re glad to help coordinate life-saving response to Americans in harm’s way.

Hoagie assault guy, if convicted, will be punished more strongly than J6 folks who beat police officers with poles and other objects and are now walking free (and probably joining CBP)
More from Newsom’s press office.
“I’m tired of hearing the truth!”
‘Help me, please!’ Plainclothes “ICE” agents snatch a man outside Los Angeles’ largest courthouse on Wednesday. A tactic that has been repeatedly condemned by the legal community. Painful to watch. Even more painful knowing there are people who not only accept this, are happy about it.

As long as Americans have Netflix, pro-sports, Doritos and beer they won’t do much. Take those and people will start to give a crap.
Nothing will change... this was in 2021. Before Jan 6
Very cool how Thomas & Alito were found to have taken exorbitant bribes over the years and not a goddamn thing was done about it
There were 34 church leaders & christian school employees who were arrested, pled guilty and/or were sentenced to prison for child sex crimes in the month of July.
These billionaires whine while people can’t make rent and are bankrupt by medical bills.
Zelenskyy: "I told President Trump and all our European allies that Putin is bluffing. He's trying to push before the Alaska meeting on all directions of the front. Russia wants to occupy the whole of Ukraine. This is his wish ... he does not want peace."
The DC sandwich guy has been charged with assault for shouting at a CBP officer, throwing a sub into his chest, and then running off. "I did it. I threw the sandwich," he said while he was being processed.
It’s gonna get a lot worse before it ever might get better. Ok. So we can quit, or we can fight. I choose to fight. You?
With everything going on, I must say, I still have not a clue what their message is. They are lost and out of their league I’m afraid. And democratic voters know it
@yohann3.bsky.social If I’m wrong, my apologies. My second grade students loved this poem: Weather Whether the weather be fine Or whether the weather be not Whether the weather be cold Or whether the weather be not. We’ll whether the weather Whether we like it or not.
Wes Moore on Fox & Friends: "Our National Guards are not trained for this ... we know the missions that they are trained for. Municipal policing is not one of them. If we want to be serious about making people safe, let's actually do the things that make people safe."
Indeed she has.
It’s not a distraction. It’s fascism.
Just a reminder.......💙💛
Decorating the Oval like a person with zero plans to leave!
STFU, RFK Jr, you ridiculous idiot. You don't care about the wellbeing of patients. You care about politics. You are actively undermining doctors' ability to protect their patients from measles and COVID. Your party forces women who have miscarried to bleed out in parking lots over your politics.
When the gardeners or handymen come to fix shit, in our HOA, I give them cold waters, you call ICE on them. We are not the same. I don’t even question if they are here legally or not, they are working hard AF in the hot CA summer. They are human beings, just like me, just trying to live. LTTFA!
No! I see left bots but it “feels” like my FYP is overwhelmed by Elon/red bots—all numbered, implying thousands flood feeds. Sadly, ‘blocking’ forces engagement—accessing profiles require watching videos, which I assume further manipulate FYPs? I’m a user, not an expert & moot point after Sept.
This is exactly why Dems get their ass handed to them by Trump's world. They have no clue how to leverage social media algos to their advantage. open.substack.com/pub/weaponiz...
TikTok with Elon’s implementation of tend of thousands of right wing bots is a prime example. Almost every session I block at least 2 or 3—hard to do when forced to endure profile videos before reaching the block icon. But it’s working because my FYP has more right wing engagement than before.
The winners of the midterms are already working on how to integrate ChatGPT , Gemini , etc into their campaigns. Millions of voters will simply ask " who should I vote for this election"
