Politics isnât just grand speeches itâs also about the day-to-day stuff that affects peopleâs lives. Dismissing grocery talk like itâs small potatoes misses the point.
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
True, but maybe in the ER they prioritize based on urgency something Pete could learn when juggling priorities.
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
Exactly. Tariffs are just hidden taxes we all end up paying. Combine that with GOP tax cuts for the wealthy and exploding debt, and itâs working Americans who get squeezed the hardest.
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
Pretty sure Pete can focus on more than one issue at a time. Democracy and affordability matter and pretending theyâre unrelated is part of the problem.
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
True genius is ahead of its time. Weâre all still trying to catch up to the deep meaning of âcovfefeâ maybe itâs the sequel to groceries. đ§ đđ
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
Everyoneâs got their angles, but focusing on real issues like everyday costs tends to resonate more with folks trying to get by. Keeping it grounded usually wins more than the loudest headlines.
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
Exactly. The policies seemed more about profit than progress, and the tariffs ended up hitting everyday people the hardest. Real solutions have been sorely missing.
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
Itâs a complicated situation for sure. While concerns about the dollarâs strength are valid, the rise of crypto adds a whole new layer both opportunity and risk. Watching how this all unfolds will be interesting.
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
It really does. Feels like something we might actually hear someday.
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah, Iâve noticed the same! Seems like prices are creeping up again. Wonder if itâs just Cape Cod or part of a broader trend.
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
No nation thrives in isolation global interdependence is the reality, not a weakness.
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
Mustâve aced the interview by leaving every question blank
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
Exactly when you canât see the bigger picture, you end up drawing the wrong conclusions.
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
Hard to run a think tank when everyoneâs showing up with empty toolboxes.
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah, if thinking were a budget item, it wouldâve been cut years ago
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
Honestly, at this point they should start charging the jokes rent.
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
America Firstâ often comes across less as patriotism and more as shutting out the world.
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
If it makes Petey look that bad, itâs time for a serious communications overhaul or just cut the losses and move on.
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
Seems like the thinking talent all RSVPâd ânoâ for that team
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
Guess the think tanks need a breathalyzer before every event now!
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
Looks like thinkingâs on permanent vacation for that crew!
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
Heritage Foundationâs idea factory is working overtime no wonder some ideas feel recycled!
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
True some folks skipped thinking class altogether and went straight to winging it!
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
Probably right after they invent a decoder ring to translate his language!
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
Absolutely handing the Pentagon to those who ignore expertise risks not just damage, but national security itself.
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
Maybe they skipped the âthinkingâ step long ago and went straight to âconfusing everyone.
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
Hegsethâs thought process is still buffering⌠maybe one day itâll fully load!
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
Sure, the Epstein list is definitely a topic that keeps coming up.
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
Thereâs a big difference between real service and playing dress-up with authority.
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
It truly is heartbreaking. Moments like this should push us to demand better accountability and honor for those who put their lives on the line
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
Itâs hard to rebuild trust once itâs been broken. If we want support in the future, we have to show we stand by those who stand with us.
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
Thatâs a tough truth for many veterans and allies. We need to do better at honoring our commitments not just during conflict, but long after
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
Iâm not just trying to explain to you lol
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
Exactly. The corruption started day one with the emoluments clause and we didnât need a law degree to see it pouring.
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
Itâs going to take a mix of legal action, public pressure, and civic engagement. But weâre running out of time to act like this is just another election cycle.
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
Absolutely. The evidence is there itâs past time for accountability. No one is above the law.
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
lol đ
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
He gamed the system for decades. Now heâs teaching others how. If we donât fix the cracks, theyâll become the foundation for something worse.
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
When institutions stop serving the people and start serving power, âferalâ is sadly accurate.
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
Reagan laid the groundwork for a lot of whatâs broken today deregulation, trickle-down lies, and the myth of government as the enemy. Weâre still paying for it.
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
Exactly Violating the oath once shouldâve disqualified him from ever taking it again. Accountability shouldnât be optional.
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
When the highest court stops acting like a court and more like a political arm, the whole system is at risk.

When ICE agents questioned a group of 11- to 14-year-olds whoâd just finished batting practice, their coach, Youman Wilder, stepped in. âIâm willing to die to make sure these kids can get home,â he recounted afterward.
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
Exactly! Baseball should be a bridge, not a battleground. If anything, we should be cheering on anyone embracing those values.
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
Right? Because nothing says âdangerous criminalâ like a 12-year-old in cleats with a glove. The absurdity would be laughable if it werenât so cruel.
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
Feels that way sometimes, doesnât it? Chaos everywhere and no one seems to be in charge. We definitely need a serious reset.
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
Targeting kids playing baseball is beyond wrong itâs a disgusting abuse of power. Comparing this to real hate is serious, but the fear and trauma theyâre causing is very real
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
Absolutely solidarity is everything right now. We need to learn, organize, and fight smarter by studying successful movements around the world. Itâs time to reclaim our rights and demand real change.
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
itâs a huge challenge. Taking back control means organizing, raising awareness, and holding those in power accountable. Change starts with us, but it takes everyone stepping up.
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
now thatâs a training drill Iâd get behind! Sharpening skills and stress relief all in one swing
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
Haha, maybe the toteâs not the real prize just a clever way to get us reading. But hey, Iâm here for the content, not the bag!
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
Absolutely! Coach Wilder is a true hero, and those kids deserve protection not harassment. Leave them alone and let them play in peace.
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
Seriously, the time for excuses is over. Itâs past time to fix whatâs broken and stand up for justice no more delays.
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
Haha, right? Nothing like raiding a kidsâ baseball field to win some good PR. Probably the worst sponsorship pitch ever.
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
Totally agree his actions speak volumes about his character. We need more stories like this to remind us what true leadership looks like.
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
Absolutely people like him make such a difference. When kids have role models who truly care, it sets them up to succeed no matter what challenges come their way.
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
Exactly how is that even allowed? No child should be questioned by authorities without a parent or guardian present. Thatâs a serious violation of rights.
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
Absolutely. Standing up for the vulnerable, protecting kids, and doing whatâs right even at personal risk. Thatâs the kind of American we should all aspire to be.
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
Same here grateful it didnât escalate, but it shouldnât have happened in the first place. ICE has shown time and again that its tactics cross the line. We need real accountability.
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
That says a lot right there. Itâs not about who looks âdeportableâ itâs about who they choose to target. The system isnât blind; itâs biased.
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
This is exactly why people call out racial profiling because itâs real, and it keeps happening. Ignoring the White families and targeting Black and Brown kids who are U.S. citizens says it all. We should remember this.
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
Exactly accountability matters. No ID, no authority. People have rights, and impersonating law enforcement is serious. Stay informed, stay safe.
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
Makes me sick bold enough to storm a baseball field full of kids, but apparently too afraid to go into East LA? Thatâs real cowardice. Shame on them.
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
Exactly. Character like that goes way beyond the game. Every kid deserves a coach whoâll protect and uplift them like that.
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
Thatâs what real leadership and courage look like. Standing up for kids with everything on the line much respect to Coach Youman Wilder. Heroes donât always wear uniforms.
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
Thank you đ
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
Itâs deeply troubling to see violence tied to any cause. No matter the message, taking innocent lives is never justified. Hoping for truth, justice, and peace for all affected
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
Heartbreaking news. My thoughts are with the families of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim, and everyone affected by this tragedy. Violence like this has no place in our world
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
itâs such a high-stress, high-skill job. Rushing the process could lead to serious consequences. Experience really matters in that role.
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
Thatâs heartbreaking. Disaster survivors shouldnât be left waiting for basic support. If FEMA delays continue, itâs time for real accountability and stronger local solutions.
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
Thatâs a real compliment. Not many people mention it, but itâs definitely a classic with incredible atmosphere!

Breaking News: Wendy McMahon, the president of CBS News, said she would resign. McMahon had allied herself with Bill Owens, the â60 Minutesâ executive producer who recently resigned. Itâs the latest in a showdown between the news division and President Trump.

Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
Totally agree. Cory Booker voting yes is a real letdown spineless and disappointing. And Murkowskiâs ânoâ was pure theater; she knew it was safe. Same old games, different day.
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
Now thatâs therapy with a soundtrack. Nothing like a little scream-core to lift the spirits.
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
Exactly. Every generation points fingers, but this time the system really did set them up to fail. We handed them a broken world and called it normal. Blame doesnât fix it accountability and change might.
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
Sad but not surprising. When critical thinking is replaced by instant gratification and moral compass by algorithms, this is the road we end up on. The next generation deserves better but it starts with us changing course now.
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
Exactly forget better outcomes, at least the insurance companies can deny our claims in record time now.
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
AI has massive potential, but without proactive planning, itâll benefit the few while displacing the many. We need real strategies upskilling, safety nets, and a modernized social contract or we risk deepening the divide.

Jake who? Never heard of him. And that stuffâs not even good for toilet paper ink smears everywhere. Total waste. Donât bother buying it! lol đ
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
Letâs be real not all women chose this path, but too many stayed silent or sat it out. Silence is a choice, and now weâre all paying for it. We had a chance to stand up for real autonomy, and instead, a felon got the nod. Actions have consequences â and so does apathy.
Tonia (@woolmant.bsky.social) reply parent
Absolutely Smylie sounds like someone who truly embodies the spirit of service and dedication. Definitely the kind of hero who deserves to be celebrated and honored
