News just broke that the Venezuelan boat that Trump struck was not, in fact, headed to the U.S. with drugs. But this story is disturbing for other reasons, and you need to know why. It's another sign of Trump's growing lawlessness. And it's bad counter-narcotics strategy.
Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Those who prevent history from being taught intend to repeat it.
Thinking about how Arizona tea is keeping prices at $1.
That is complete BS. Glad I don’t have an android!
Anyone else curbing discretionary spending? This does not bode well for Americans. Car and homeowners insurance are both way up.
Republicans chose to release the text of their Big Ugly bill late last night. They’re trying to pass the largest cuts to health care in history late on a Saturday. So Democrats are forcing the entirety of the bill to be read on the Senate floor. We won’t let them hide.
Duh 🙄 sorry. Missed the first line!
Is this from this morning? I have seen some video but cannot watch that man speak. Just awful.
Yes. They support him still which hurts my heart. 🥺 Who knows how many more haven’t been reported!
Absolutely horrifying.

NEW: Hegseth is deploying Marines against U.S. citizens. Mayor Bass says to know your rights :
24k gold in the Oval? No expense spared there! I suspect it may be plated.
😑 this is hell.
Misremembered but curious nonetheless. youtu.be/yOUp_LTRzRU?...
I have a vague memory of TACO man on SNL dressed as a chicken…
TANK vs TESLA "We've crushed fascism before and we'll crush it again" - WW2 veteran Ken, 98, in the tank
Podcasts, newsletters, video - high value content during a critical time for our nation. Worth every penny. Highly recommend. ☮️
RFK Jr. is very loud and very WRONG about Autism. 1. It’s not a disease 2. There are thousands of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder who pay taxes, have jobs, can use the bathroom on their own, and are thriving in life.
I think that daily.
I think about those that signed up for CISA’s services to scan their networks. I think I would have found a replacement for that service sometime last year. Gift Link www.nytimes.com/2025/04/05/u...
Since my retirement accounts are going to be worthless soon, I guess I will be working into my 70s. I can’t bear to look at the market right now.
Not sure I believe this from the man who told his supporters he would bring prices down and then “tarrifs the world”. He lies you know.
R.E.M. Is For Planned Parenthood. What they’re fighting for is pretty simple: the freedom for everyone to control their own bodies, health, & lives. Everyone deserves access to safe, high quality, affordable care. Go to ImForPP.org to get involved m.youtube.com/watch?v=7y9U...
When someone tells you they couldn’t care less, believe them.
Equal work for equal pay. It’s that simple. This Equal Pay Day is a reminder that women all across this country are still underpaid, despite the same work and skills as their counterparts. It’s unacceptable. Will always stand up for equality and fair pay.
I’ve been jamming to this song for years. Here’s a live version from the late, great Jeff Healey. youtu.be/crsG0Y8IQy4?...
Yeah this looks very bad for all.
I think we’re collectively shrugging our shoulders and thinking we’ve never seen such a cluster*. Intentionally done? To distract? My money is on incompetence but it is a coin toss.
This seems pretty serious. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/03...
I burst out laughing at your post. Cheers! 😎
Guidelines about accommodating people with disabilities are being scrubbed from the Justice departments website in an effort to … reduce the cost of groceries. Once again disabled people are targeted because the government assumes no one will speak up for us. Speak up. We need you.
Just so we’re all clear, the Supreme Court *expressly ruled* that the president cannot fire FTC commissioners without cause in 1935’s Humphrey’s Executor. Trump’s action here is brazenly illegal under any interpretation of the law as it stands. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...
100% preventable. Sick of this nonsense.

This sounds like corruption and needless spending.
Don’t let Trump’s & Musk’s constant efforts to distract us keep you from focusing on the real issues, like the SAVE act, which will take the right to vote away from millions of American citizens. The voting rights of women are especially at risk if this bill passes. open.substack.com/pub/mindysch...
Here’s a cheat sheet with all the phone numbers for the US Senate. I have a feeling we’ll be calling them a lot in the near future.
Well this is horrifying.
The human cost
✌️
I know we can’t run around on fire every time Trump says something but he appears to have just announced the new US policy on Gaza which is to take ownership of it, ethnically cleanse it of the 1.8 million Palestinians there and maintain a long term ownership stake as it’s “developed.”
Grateful today for a Georgia peanut farmer who lived the teachings of his faith.
He said something hateful and expected no consequences? And why I wonder was he “banned from banking”. He must have done another thing for that to happen. Or he’s lying. 🤥
I love this town.
When the lies were told about about President Biden and his son Hunter, they were bullhorn-blasted loud and long for everyone to hear. When the liar was exposed? Quiet as church mice. This should be a MUCH bigger story.
We might have a fire if we do. We have had an artificial tree since 2014. 😊
If ya know Ya know 😂😂
🤮
I encountered complete denial today when he was brought up and I warned against his plans. “He’s not going to do that.” BS. When they deport the naturalized citizen we spoke about, when the prices are out of control, when he lines his pockets and does nothing for the US, maybe they’ll see.
Facts:
Did you send your letters to your Senators yet telling them to oppose Hegseth? Now is a great time to do so!
I have a large box of photos from college and more from my son’s childhood.
That’s true. My public school knowledge is NY based. I don’t know either.
Pretty sure most of the general public is not fully aware of this either.
Thank you for all your efforts. Bluesky users appreciate you. 💙
Understood. Things were still much worse in early 2021.
This guy is out of his mind. I don’t believe for a minute that this is legal.
Yes he did. Not to mention he guided us out of the pandemic in 2021. COVID was not magically gone once he took office.
I reactivated my account last night to frantically delete all my posts etc so I could deactivate again last night. My posts were never meant to train anyone’s AI. F that.
The “Popular with Friends” feed works for me most of the time.
100,000 children go blind every year as a result of Measles. Vaccinate your children. People tend to think of it as just a rash. It can cause serious complications. Measles in a pregnant woman is scary.
My understanding is that it was not a “high-bid” situation. Likely for that very reason.
Yes, I agree with that but I haven’t yet figured out how we can do anything to stop it. One thing I saw is to encourage congress to keep the pressure on to vet bills for continued activity so the GOP can’t focus on the destruction of our country because they will be too busy.
I’m trying to focus on happy parts where I have control. I can’t fix the election results and am perpetually horrified at what I see in the news so I try to limit my stressors. Hang in there. Many of us are suffering alongside you. Hugs.
Tried and true for most electronics but for countries? Not so much.

I’m sorry. I had two great grandfathers (5th and 4th gg) and countless other family members fight for America in the American Revolutionary War. My father and mother along with far too many other family members voted for the nazis too. I’m not giving up.
Love it and am happy to see you here!!
Make it make sense.
What is choice, and what isn’t.
Of course she did.
Understatement Molly. Huge understatement.
Learned a new word: Kakistocracy
Really happy to find you here finally.
Our “bionic” community. Welcome everyone!! We hope you love it here as much as we do!!
I started watching Christmas movies on Hallmark to distract me. Watching Yellowstone now to prepare for the new episode tonight. Trying to keep my news consumption lower these days too. Hang in there. We’re all right there with you.
Me too!!
I’m not really sure they paid attention to what the administration accomplished during that time.
Just dumped my original Pebs account and deleted the app from my phone. I created the profile in 2010. Sad to see what that site has become.
