I love Bluesky, but somehow my account got scuttled, and I have lost over 5K followers and 5K people I follow. SS Chicago born, Blue all day, every day. I’ll never understand what they see in Trump! No DM's-I block! No Crypto, porn, or other nonsense.
Thank you Monica, all are followed. 😊💙🌊

TWILIGHT OF AN EMPIRE - THANK TRUMP From Mike Allen, Axios: A think tank at Renmin University of China, in Beijing, published a report called "Thank Trump," which argues that his tariffs, attacks on allies and immigration policies have hastened the "twilight of an empire."

Never forget your own eyes. Never forget Jan 6th. Remember how everyone knew and actually stated the truth? Including Mitch McConnell? Y'all saw it. Y'all know exactly what it was. An insurrection incited by Trump. #Voices4Victory #DV1 #Pinks #SheShed
Ummmm…Communism?

You can't make this up: the Trump administration is arguing in court that even a cancer diagnosis isn't enough to claim an exemption from his draconian new Medicaid work requirements. Sickening — and all to fund even more tax cuts for the ultra-rich.
The 6 largest oil companies will collectively rake in $45B in profits in the second quarter of 2026 — nearly double what they made in the first quarter. Meanwhile, Canada, France, and Spain are battling record-breaking wildfires spurred by the climate crisis. Big Oil profits while the world burns.
OMG this is a travesty! Does this include illuminated manuscripts and handwritten documents? What if Trump decided to offer up The Constitution?
