Zelenskyy has more humanity, courage, and grace in his little finger than the orange clown and the war criminal have in their entire bodies combined.

Jeff Daniels: We’ve lost decency, we’ve lost civility, we’ve lost respect for the rule of law. We have normalized verbal abuse on the internet. We’ve normalized bullying. But ideally, we’re supposed to elect the best of us. Not the worst of us. He’s everything that’s wrong with being a human being.

"The lesson of Hungary is this: We cannot claim to care about democracy only when it costs nothing. President Trump, like Mr. Orban, no doubt believes that everyone can be bought. America’s elites are proving him right. There is a Hungarian phrase I heard often: 'There’s always a price.'”

Sen. Lisa Murkowski said she feels ‘cheated’ after she won a concession in the recently passed tax and spending law to protect wind and solar projects, only to see the president and his administration issue recent orders that she said seem designed to quickly quash such projects.

They're in Paso Robles staking out the Midstate Fair right now. No doubt Fiesta in Santa Barbara is next up on their hit list. It's not just unacceptable. It's criminal. Make it stop.

They're currently staying at the Courtyard Marriott in Paso Robles and staking out the Midstate Fair. I'm guessing Fiesta is going to be affected by this BS too.

His cognitive decline doesn't matter in this play. In fact, it's central to the plot. He's the Project 2025 puppet. Russell Vought wrote the script. The GOP holds him up by the strings. As long as they keep feeding his ego and lining his pockets, he won't care, or even know, he's being manipulated.

The photos and videos of him with Epstein have made the rounds on social media umpteen times. How did they miss them? Or did they convince themselves everything was a deep fake? It's mind blowing how willfully ignorant they are.

Agreed. After I posted, I realized I should've said "I had no pain," but Bluesky doesn’t let you edit.
Roni (@roniwrites.bsky.social) reply parent
Having had 2 C-sections, I can personally attest to the fact that there is no pain "during" the procedure. There are strange sensations when they're putting everything back in place, though. 🤢 The post-op pain comes after the epidural wears off, plus little lightning bolts under the incision line.

It's hard to meet quotas when there just aren't that many criminal immigrants here.

It's hard to meet quotas when you're only looking for criminal immigrants and there just aren't that many here. Gotta make the numbers somehow, right? 🤬

A quick history lesson. Today's subject: Liberia. 1. It was founded by African Americans who relocated to Africa in the early 1800s. 2. Its capital, Monrovia, was named after President James Monroe. 3. Its official language is English. Clearly someone wasn't paying attention in class.

My dad had polio when he was very young and had to live in an iron lung for months and months. The vaccine came out a couple of years later. I can't believe anyone wouldn't protect their kids from that torture.

My first instinct was to sit today out. Thankful that my second instinct told the first to shut up. Today I will celebrate the country I love, because I still believe in the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave, in Liberty and Justice for All, in the American tenets of Independence and Freedom. 1
