Didn’t the people on that boat have a heartbeat?
My kids were really good swimmers until their peers hit puberty and had growth spurts. I think no athletes over 5’10” for boys and 5’5” for girls. That would be more fair I think.
Lovely!
I have a dream…
And what does declaring an emergency do? The Trump administration doesn’t care because it is mostly Black babies. MS’s GOP government has created huge medical deserts because they refused to accept expanded Medicaid. It’s a problem of their own making.
This wins the internet.
Perhaps someone can give Trump a “Noble” prize so he can leave the Nobel Prize people alone.
Congratulations to Travis Kelce on his latest championship ring.
My longest streak is 34 days. I’m currently at 7.
My state senator actually visits every county in her district on each recess. She’s a Republican through and through but she listened to her voters and voted against the state voucher plan.
The rate is 8.2/million, but correlation does not always equal causation. I found numbers ranging from 55-8,000 but these were people who died within 100 days of getting the vaccine. How many of those would have had a heart attack anyway? I’ll take my chances with the vaccine.
IOWA!
It’s crazy. Currently 60° with highs in the 70s all week. It will get hot again, but this is a nice break.
Guys, it’s August, in Tennessee, and we’ve had the windows opened all day (AC off). This is not normal.
They think this is funny and clever.
Wait. Just in Alberta? Isn’t that the anti-vax part of Canada? At first I thought this was a play to make money off Americans crossing the border to get vaccines (fair play) but now I see it’s your own crazies.
This is the episode that explained racism to me asa child.
Reminds me that I need some chicken and dumplings soon.
Same in the US.
Greg is MAGA. Just block him.
Doctors take an oath to do no harm. The are t going to change a time tested vaccine schedule because some mentally deranged politician tells them to.
It takes a lot of energy to have a conversation. I would rather have those conversations with friends and family.
I never said it was never unsealed just that it was rare. In this case there were a lot of jurors, as well as victims to protect.
I have zero sympathy for that asshat. He deserves everything he gets.
I’m so sorry. What have we become.
How do we retrain people to think for themselves?
I made perfect risotto for dinner tonight. I’m taking my wins where I can get them. It had fresh tomatoes, Italian sausage, good Parmesan cheese, and basil from the garden.
You are confused. The grand jury records are NOT the Epstein files. Grand Jury records are almost always kept sealed. The files contain all the information the DOJ garnered from searching Epstein’s properties and interviewing witnesses.
The judges have blocked the Grand Jury testimony. This is something that is never released. Trump knew when he offered that up that it wouldn’t get released.
You know which city could probably use some extra police help? Memphis. But Tennessee is a red state so we won’t see it here. Leave Chicago alone.
Love, love St. Paul and the Broken Bones. I’m from Birmingham so I’ve been following them for years. I’ve seen them in concert about 6 times.
Six months ago I would have thought Newsome was a long shot for President. But he has given Dems someone to rally behind. And we need to rally. No president is perfect and we may not get everything we want. Progress is slow and steady but we have to coalesce.
Talking about troops in SC is describing what is happening. Saying Trump won’t give up power is rage baiting.
The women who were raped when they were children care, a lot.
Bolton has discovered that the leopard will indeed eat his face.
Bill Maher trying to remain relevant by rage baiting.
You are correct.
Sadly I pass 3 Confederate flags on my way to the grocery store. Such is life in rural Tennessee.
I understand that some people don’t make enough money to pay for a car outright and may need to rely on a credit card to get by, but high earners need to save up and pay for a car, and pay off their credit card every month.
They tried this during Trump 1.0. Even Alabama refused to turn them over.
A train with the ability to transport cars from Michigan to Florida would be popular. You can survive in Florida without a car, but most people would prefer not to make that drive.
The book is intriguing, but the cover is 🔥! Putting it on my list.
I’m not sure he can even name the countries. He said Sudan, then he mentioned another war that has lasted 35 years between “two great countries.” What 2 countries?
European leaders need a Peace Prize just for how much they are required to suck up to Trump. His ego is enormous. #Ukraine #Russia #NATO
But you could buy the album then listen to the entire thing at one time with the foldout of the lyrics. I feel we miss a lot not listening to albums as a whole.
Petty Trump has fired the family who have been hand making the Kennedy Honors awards. You can bet the new ones will not have rainbow ribbons.
Bless your heart. It’s probably going to be your last press conference.
Alaska showed up!
Pretty sure the kids at the music festival weren’t armed.
No but as violence goes they are no better than Islamic militants. Or did you skip the Crusades in High School.
This is going to hurt southern red states.
Sadly, the US is built on an economy of cars. It would require decades consistent policy (impossible) and states working together to change to a good public transportation system.
Still wondering how the people who think sex should never be mentioned in school is going to explain adultry to 3rd graders.
Same thing is happening in Sumner County Tennessee libraries.
Both things can be true. Hamas did attack civilians, an Israel knew ahead of time and did nothing.
I feel like this should be shared—a lot.
The thing to remember is that they CAN be fixed. Documenting is important, but save your rage for things that are directly hurting people, like ICE raids and attacks on LGBTQAI communities. It’s a marathon, not a sprint.
Spending the week in Montreal and Quebec City. Other than the heat wave we’ve been having an amazing time. Canadians are indeed the world’s nicest people and they understand we don’t all support Trump. Thank you, Canadians, for giving my soul a little break from the chaos.
I live in Tennessee and we feed these beauties all summer. We have two small feeders that attach to our big window and have been refilling them twice a day lately because they are bulking up to head to Mexico.
Tells me he’s had sex with his sister.
I simple refer to it as the concentration camp in Florida.
Every accusation is a confession.
Isn’t it a shame that THIS is the Kennedy that karma allowed to grow old.
Truth
Any Democrat running against her needs to play this over and over.
Is he really that stupid? Does he really think Canada is just going to give the US provinces? And that they would automatically vote Republican?
I’m sure this is just a technical issue she thought she could win.
Actually, I don’t. I’ve checked the accounts of every person I’ve followed. I have a lot of interests and I like to see experts from outside the US.
It’s unclear to me so I’m letting them know. I’m sorry if I’m not as tech savvy as you.
I was put on the hosts by something called Automated-lists. I can’t comment to them. So who should I complain to?
Do you think he’s confusing them with leaches?
You added me to a list because I follow 5,000 people implying I’m not a real person. I thought the whole purpose of Blue Sky was to allow you to follow accounts that interest you. Instead I have been punished.
Yes, a few. www.brookings.edu/articles/tru...
I don’t think the Trump administration cares about optics.
As a former Birminghamian I approve this message.
I think most politicians are power hungry sociopaths. Maybe they don’t start out that way but most love the power once they get it. Newsom is no worse than the others. And I like his energy.
So the alternative facts chick got the gig. That makes sense.
Trump will probably pardon him.
There are cities that filled in their swimming pools when they were ordered to integrate.
In second push, Blackburn moves to limit lobbying of nation's largest teachers' union. Blackburn seems to have no issue with lobbying by the NRA. Perhaps it’s because she is one of the largest recipients of NRA donations.
"If you say I didn't like Barack Obama because of his tax policies or something similar, okay then I feel you. But whenever these guys bring out the "he divided us" card it's a huge red flag. A Black parent is insane letting their kids play for Bruce Pearl," one fan said.
I saw where Trump said he had brokered peace between the DRC and Rwanda. I admit I had to look it up, and then I found this and it all made sense.
Hmmm. Wonder how her poll numbers are looking.
They don’t care. If they stave themselves the government doesn’t have to pay to house them.
It would have been less of a thing if they had made it a series and released several ads with models of different ethnicities who also happened to be hot. Then there would be no discussion other than the misogyny.
Tuberville is just stupid. He wasn’t even a good coach.
There was a recent article about how the PGA is winning the golf wars.
Because women are the NES showing up to film them.
I’m not sure if it’s comforting or terrifying to realize other countries have crazy politicians, too.
I’m so sorry. Our elderly diabetic cat died last year. After months of trying to regulate her blood sugar we realized the diabetic food was doing a good job on its own. But her kidneys finally gave out.
They tried this in Trump’s first term. Even Alabama wouldn’t hand them over.
Rumors swirled here in TN that Green didn't think he could hold the gerrymandered 7th. Let's get 'em!! Dem candidates below, alpha order. We don't endorse in primaries but they're all good people who'd be a vast improvement over Green. @aftynbehn.bsky.social @dixie4tn.bsky.social @votebo.com
Hey Blue Sky! Want to flip Congress? You don’t have to wait until 2026! Tennessee has a special election on Dec. 2, 2025! @aftynbehn.bsky.social is a state representative running in TN7 for Green’s vacated seat. You don’t have to live in TN to share this or send her a few $$ if you are able.
So he admits to hiring underaged girls to work in his spare time?!
I’m hedging my bets that tomatoes are going to be very expensive.
