Those Yale graduates destroyed the public education system that pulled people out of ignorance and poverty. No one is blaming the poorly educated. The MAGA base is barely literate and exceptionally easy to control. We abandoned public schools, and this is the price we pay.
And what, pray tell makes us the right people?

Good morning, Bluesky Keep climbing - you will get there #nature #photography #caterpillars
The moment he cozied up to Trump, I knew Snoop was sliding. He can dance in the muck with Bill Maher.

I love Halifax! I was trapped there by a hurricane in 2019. If you're going to ride out a storm with a bunch of strangers, do it in Nova Scotia.
Good night, Bluesky Sweet dreams #nature #photography #birds
Thank you! I took this in Nova Scotia.

Please know this is not the Air Force. It's Trump all the way.

My husband was stationed at Mountain Home AFB, and McCall was our favorite place in Idaho. We loved the theater at the old church, and having drinks with the smoke jumpers. Thank you for taking me back there today.
When Hurricane Helene devastated Asheville, NC, WCK was here, offering hot meals and hope. I will donate money to this organization for the rest of my life.
Cleanse your timeline with the most wholesome Velvets cover ever. Worth watching all the way through.

My husband served in the National Guard. He would have resigned rather than pull this bullshit duty. These people have jobs, families, and communities. This is an insult to every person who has worn the uniform.

I left Facebook four years ago with almost 200,000 followers on my photography page. I have fewer than 800 here on Bluesky, but I enjoy interaction with the people here. I find that Bluesky allows me to curate my experience more than any other platform. And, there are far fewer assholes.
As a descendant of Irish immigrants who fled the famine and having grown up a neighbor to the Eastern Band of Cherokee, I could not stop the tears when I visited this beautiful monument. The Irish people have never forgotten the hunger and open their hearts to anyone experiencing it.
Turtle Tuesday Do you see it? #nature #photography #turtles
Congratulations! You are so deserving of this honor. You were my only link to our community for many days. Your impeccable journalism and reporting helped us make good choices, and I believe you saved lives. Asheville loves you ❤️
Gave up alcohol during the first Trump "administration" but still on the smokes. I can't give up all of my Old Age Prevention programs.
Sounds like the soft launch of an announcement of a dictatorship to me.

More conversational than some husbands.
Bill Maher is pulling a Dennis Miller... get famous, get rich, get old, get angry... and turn into a world-class asshole.
They escaped to the highlands, and federal armies quickly learned that they could not possibly find these Cherokee and would probably die in the wilderness themselves. Like the clans of the Scottish Highlands, the Eastern Band of Cherokee is still here in their homeland... and the midges.
When the land broke apart and drifted, Scotland carried the northern tip of the Appalachian Mountains away into the Atlantic. At the southern tip of those mountains, the Eastern Band of Cherokee evaded capture, and the forced march west to the reservations. 1/2

It's the purse that kills me!

I'm sorry it came across that way. I didn't mean to offend. For native Appalachian folks, this is our heritage. Bluegrass doesn't sound like country music to us.
This is Bluegrass, rather than country.
John Oliver is the only reason to have HBO.
Idiot tourists pull rocks out of stream beds here in the Blue Ridge mountains, destroying habitat and killing wildlife, to build their cairns for TikTok videos. If you really love nature, you don't have to alter it to leave your mark on it. This young man is setting a great example for others.
Cute little stoners.
Someone referred to it as "last century" and I spent the whole damned day doing the time warp.
My former in-laws worshipped this asshole. My wedding gift was Dobson's guide to marriage. The in-laws divorced after Dad ran off with a girl younger than his children. Family values...
Good morning, Bluesky Killarney, Ireland #nature #photography #landscapes #Ireland
What is with the Popefest on PBS?
With limited resources, struggling to survive, and our country coming apart, this is news? Why are you wasting time and effort reporting on just another pope saying the same thing they always say? Skip the pedophile patrol and give us news.
This old hippie would like to kick his ass.
Thank you!
Your perspective defines your reality.
The Bear stresses me out. Too much shouting.
You made it eight months into the Trump administration. I'm impressed.

Early sign I was never going to be a domestic goddess - I made a cake. I melted my brother's toy car. Then, I took it outside and slowly heated a string of firecrackers. It was fantastic.
We should all stop paying federal taxes.
You help me smile every day!
Nothing compares to the Blue Ridge! Thank you for sharing our beautiful home.
We need to cease paying federal taxes - all of us - now.

AI trash
Good morning, Bluesky Hang in there for another week #nature #photography #koalas
I never thought I would tell young people not to go to college. But, true liberal arts education no longer exists, tuition prices are absurd, and I'm going to be paying student loans with Social Security checks.
Loving my little garden this week.
Another fantastic show!
It got me through the Bush administration. Where is Aaron Sorkin? We need you!
Posting lies doesn't help anyone. Facts matter.
Facts matter. Thanks for calling out bullshit.
Good morning, Bluesky An adorable squid for Sunday #nature #photography #oceans #marinelife

I'll smoke it.

This was me as a kid! Thanks for the laugh.
Look around you. See all the brown people? That's what they are afraid of.
Call it "Going to Asheville to teach a workshop," please.
Jimmy Carter tried to see to it that I learned the metric system so I wouldn't grow up an ignorant hillbilly. Being able to communicate with everyone else on the planet... Reagan put an end to that liberal bullshit. The political machine hated Jimmy because he couldn't be bought... for any price.
Let's reserve the name "hero" for selfless service to others, shall we? A drunk throwing a sandwich may be entertaining in a collapsing society, but it is not heroic.

"Used" is the proper word.
Thank you for sharing your trail cam footage.
I'm from a long line of depressed people who self medicated with alcohol, drugs, violence, and suicide. You are still here. I am still here. We have broken the cycle. Yay for us!
I have lived with depression most of my life. I never had anxiety until I realized our 249 year old country isn't going to make 250. For me, meds work better for depression than for anxiety. Anxiety seems like a reasonable reaction to what is going on around me. Excuse me while I go smoke a joint.
There are litter boxes with wifi now. I never, ever want a text from my cats' box.
Good morning, Bluesky #nature #photography #birds
Unfortunately, there are others just like him to fill the void. It's not just Trump, it's the entire republican party.
We have a serious education problem.
It makes me want to eat the door off the fridge.
Suggesting yoga to a person who can seriously hurt themselves reaching for the toilet paper roll.
Good morning, Bluesky This beauty landed on the bow of my raft, laughing at my zoom lens. Great Bear Rainforest, British Columbia #nature #photography #birds #raptors
Asheville loves you, Bernie!
I like your style!
