What does it mean that shooter wasn't an immigrant, Muslim, Jew, Dem, LGBTQ or radical socialist/Marxist, in fact was a GOP who donated to their 2020 campaign? It means they'll define him as an immigrant, Muslim, Jew, Dem, LGBTQ, radical socialist/Marxist. Violence is unacceptable. Facts matter.
One bit of terrific news: Lennon's assassin denied parole for the 14th time. May he rot eternally. #johnlennon #lennon #imagine

Really honored to be included in this great SP. Thank you @maplemama20.bsky.social I will be following all...
Honored to be included! Thanks so much.
Something American families can do together!
I'm embarrassed to say I hadn't even heard of this one. My condolences.
The Colorado tragedy marks the 47th shooting that took place at a school in the United States so far in 2025. This is the 37th week of 2025. 47 mass shootings in 37 weeks.
At least 3 students are in critical condition after a shooting at Evergreen HS in Colorado. This is the 47th shooting that took place at a school in the US so far this year: 24 on college campuses, 23 on K-12 school grounds. This happened less than an hour after Charlie Kirk shooting in Utah.
Yeah, I don't remember that one. Or that everybody was fine with that.
If you get a text that claims to be from the "Franchise Tax Board" of your state in the USA, and the country code is outside the USA ...surprise! It's fake. Block. Delete. Don't answer. Thousands falling for it because they don't check the originating number. Simple but impt to remember

Governor Newsom Press Office @GovPressOffice After ripping health care from 17 million Americans and slashing food stamps for kids, we’re glad Mike “Marie Antoinette” Johnson and his boy friends had time to toast the grand opening of the Predator Patio.
The Sharpie-in-Chief
Georgia on my mind...
No words. Except the words they use to deflect from child sex trafficking & child rape.
Now.
RFK Jr: We had lots of guns when we were kids. Kids brought guns 2 school & were encouraged to do so. & nobody was walking into schools & shooting people. There are many things that could explain this. One is the dependence on psychiatric drugs @andylevy.net his father was unavailable for comment
Funny line, but it points up the misconception that he listens to or follows the anti-vax, anti-medicine garbage they force on us. Remember when he had Covid? When bodies were being held in refrigerator trucks & hospital corridors, and people were begging for vaccines?
Terrifying how the laziest possible A.I. spreads misinformation by people not realizing or caring how phony it is. When a story takes place in a "TV studio" that pits the current press sec'y against a soul diva w/out mentioning the show, the host, date it happened, if it aired - it didn't happen!
Governor Newsom Press Office @GovPressOffice 4,016: the number of laws signed by Gavin Newsom to expand health care, guarantee free pre-K, create jobs, and build a stronger California. 0: the number of birthday cards Gavin Newsom has sent to Jeffrey Epstein.
Oh, Minnesota...Hasn't Chicago suffered enough? "Da Bears"

No comment. Just disgust.
It's a race to the bottom. Shameful

Monday Sept 8, 2025 I've seen 4 Christmas ads. 108 days til Dec 25.
Yes to No! I had to stop before mentioning many great names because of Bluesky's character limit.
Of course!!! Thank you for all you do.
A Republican president -- who fought to bring the USA together without allowing Americans to be treated as property.
Almost exactly 57 years ago, in the city of my heart. 1968 - citizens trying to stop an unjust war in Asia 2025 - the government trying to start an unjust war in America www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaBw...
So many great people to follow in this SP - want to make sure they aren't missed.
Thanks, Captain
OMG, he used to play a song of mine on his show! Love him.
And let's not forget Dr Strangelove Dr Hugo Z Hackinbush Dr Howard Dr Fine Dr Howard Dr Ruth & Dr Vinny Boombatz
Excellent additions, all. Sadly, Bluesky has a character limit.
Dr Hawkeye Pierce Dr Pangloss Dr Zhivago Dr Doolittle Dr Frank-n-Furter Dr Granny Clampett Dr McCoy Dr Jekyll Dr Faustus Dr Van Helsing Dr Frankenstein Dr Caligari Dr Gonzo Dr Fu Manchu Dr Melfi Dr Wu Dr Honeydew Dr Phibes Dr Dougie Howser Dr. Johnny Fever Dr Frasier Crane Dr Robert Dr Indiana Jones
I'm now following you!
You risked your life to help bring about needed change. Bless you. Joseph McNeil was one of four students who staged a sit-in at a segregated Woolworth’s lunch counter in Greensboro, North Carolina, in 1960.
Thank you for making our days brighter.
Imagine if for once he paid for something beyond his ego, something that actually helped people, veterans, children, the elderly, the unemployed, underpaid workers...
The simplest comparison of the original US Civil War to the new US Civil War he's trying to ignite is the difference between bullets shot at Fort Sumpter & bull shot from Fort Dumpster Fire.
A great man. A great American. He'd have been a brilliant VP
Always glad to let the world know how great you are! Wonderful people in this SP.
And to you! Thanks for all you do here.
Thanks so much, Maple Mama! I recommend following 'em all!

Love your SPs. Would be honored to be included. Thank you for building community with such care.
Oh good grief! www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news...
I love Gov. Walz
That's a gas gas gas...light.
I love him. American hero.
Thank you, Gov. Pritzker.
"Physician-denier, heal thyself..." (In truth, I think that ship has sailed)
What's in a name? I ruse by any other name would smell as tweets... Thank you, Sen. Duckworth.
It's not what they say they want to do, it's what they actually do that tells you who they are.
The single biggest thing he's done since 1-20-25 is something that never seemed possible: He's made the United States of America...small. Insignificant. Benched Our allies are banding together happily, without us. Our enemies are banding together happily, laughing at us. Sicker. Weaker. Alone. Sad
I've always loved the 60s group, The Turtles. RIP Mark Volman. This is them, showing off the "new" Downtown LA Bunker Hill, 60 years ago...This record & their performance can't help but bring a smile. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jYB...
Quick grocery stop. Shelves were emptier than usual... Small bottle aspirin One onion Hand soap Jar of unsalted peanuts to feed local squirrels Cost in his America: $34.79 Of one thing I'm certain: next week it will cost more.
Words of wisdom from one of my heroes: "...In writing, I wipe away all the unpleasantness of the day, of the people, of the city, whatever. We have it in our power to overcome assh*les, and I think we have them thrown into our path to see if we have the chops to handle them." - Ruth Gordon
Governor Newsom Press Office @GovPressOffice "Over the last 3 months: Manufacturing: -31,000 jobs Mining: -13,000 jobs Construction: -10,000 jobs Unemployment: UP June jobs report revised: NEGATIVE This may be Trump’s “GOLDEN ERA” but it’s not America’s."
South Koreans Swept Up in Immigration Raid at Hyundai E.V. Plant Nearly 500 workers were apprehended in what the Department of Homeland Security called the largest ever enforcement operation at a single location. The episode prompted diplomatic concern in Seoul.
How many careers did he decimate via DOGE? Elon Musk, already the world’s richest person, could become the first trillionaire after the Tesla board unveiled a massive new pay package. It could grant Musk 423.7 million additional shares of Tesla stock, worth $143.5 billion at today’s stock value.

Trump Is Renaming the Defense Department the Department of War
"Do you accept the fact that a million Americans died from COVID?" Sen. Mark Warner asked. "I don't know how many died," Kennedy replied. "You're the Secretary of Health and Human Services,” Warner said. "You don't have any idea how many Americans died from COVID?"

In each case, one side has a choice, the other does not.
As a writer who is one of tens of thousands who's had all my work stolen without credit or compensation in order to "teach AI how to write" I wish you'd not dismiss A.I. as mere entertainment or novelty. A.I. exists to eliminate jobs, truth & humanity. We'll be seeing a lot more of this...
Because it isn't fun if only one side feels the sadistic cruelty. Everyone must suffer, especially the serfs.
Thank you for making the darkest of skies blue again. Woke up to an astonishing 28,000 followers. Grateful & inspired by this caring, committed, compassionate, funny, thought-provoking community. I'd love to get to 30K. If you'd add me to your Starter Pack I'd be grateful & follow back. 💙🦋🥳🥸

Trump Advisers Have Discussed a Job for Adams if He Quits Mayor’s Race The goal would be to provide Andrew Cuomo a better chance of defeating the Democratic front-runner, Zohran Mamdani, in Nov, people with knowledge of the discussions said [People w/no knowledge of the discussion figured that out]
Argh! I pay you a compliment about editing and there's a typo in it. Sorry. "Sheer" not "Seer" delight.
Her performance as Emma - gorgeous!
Don't let them ruin the runes.
I can't recommend this highly enough. Benjamin is not only the best in the world at this, he's also seer delight to spend time with.
