Philly Snowflake
@phillysnowflake.bsky.social
Philly born and raised. Descendant of a Swedish “witch” successfully defended by William Penn. Lifelong liberal. Bowie fanatic. Hillary and Kamala voter, no regrets. 💛💜💙 🐝 ♍️ Someday we’ll look back on this and it will all seem funny.
No punishment is too severe for this revolting lie.
Mrs. Betty Bowers@mrsbettybowers.bsky.social · 19h agoThere have been so many impeachable offenses, but lying about how you were a hero on a day that 2,753 people died in NYC in the 9/11 disaster—when you were on the other side of town, safely calling local media to brag about how you now had the tallest downtown building—is such a despicable one
To my PA and Philadelphia friends: you may have seen how Trump commuted the prison term of John “Johnny Doc” Dougherty, the union boss who was serving 6 years on bribery and embezzling convictions. You may wonder what’s in it for Trump.
Expanding the Supreme Court is the first priority in 2029.
Allison Gill@muellershewrote.com · 7d agoAny sweeping systemic change you want to make in the United States has to begin with adding seats to the Supreme Court in 2029. No major reform bill will survive the current court. No civil rights law, no anti-corruption law, no wealth tax, nothing.
Thank you, Gloria Steinem. I straddle the generations of women whose lives were made better by your work. Rest in peace.
laura olin@lauraolin.bsky.social · 6d agoDamn.
The legacy media in the United States is corrupt and complicit.
Mark T. Sneed@marktsneed.bsky.social · last wk.On this I cannot disagree. Mainstream media and legacy media have been bought and paid for and are willing turning a blind eye to an obvious coverup. No one is willing to go to the hospital and find out the truth? Shameful.
He should know all the love and sadness surrounding the passing of Dolly Parton is the exact opposite of what the reaction will be for his.
Not me spending my Saturday traveling to local farms and farmer‘s markets searching for produce that doesn’t have a “reasonable probability of death” warning attached to it.
I stopped expecting the media to do their jobs (or at least be decent humans) when I realized they WANTED Trump to win, and did everything in their power to make it happen. They will subject themselves and the American public to anything he throws at them for the access.
Dr. Dave@drdave1999.bsky.social · 3w agoI wasn’t at all surprised by the behavior of the demented madman Americans insisted on making President, but I was horrified and sickened by the extraordinary and indescribable cowardice displayed by Kristen Holmes’ fellow WH correspondents. Every one of them should be jobless.
How I wish we had a candidate like this in Pennsylvania right about now. Traitor Fetterman and Bootlicker McCormick have no interest in asking how they can help us.
💙🏳️🌈 Kh’ymm (aka Goldie) 🏳️🌈💙@thegoldfishmind.bsky.social · last mo.Fascinating story about Obama, Clinton & how representation matters. Also as a doctor & as a politician, he asks the same two questions. “What’s wrong & how can I help?” Lets do this Michiganders in November! #Pinks #DoBetter
If this isn’t a main feature of the Democrats’ campaign ads, then we deserve to lose.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last mo.just incredible to watch the US president take Iran's side when my state's water systems are under cyberattack
I present this to anyone who asks me why I no longer consume any corporate media. They wanted this administration, did everything in their power to bring it back, and will continue doing so. There are no exceptions.
Keith Edwards@keithedwards.bsky.social · 2mo agoNBC's kristen welker was caught laughing it up with Stephen Miller. Stephen Miller who architected the family separation policy. Stephen Miller who pushed the Muslim travel ban. Stephen Miller who oversaw the killing of Americans by ICE agents. This is why independent media is crucial.
I haven’t been part of the corporate media audience since the night of the debate, where MSNBC journalists called for Joe Biden’s head not two minutes after the debate ended, their hair nearly aflame. Never have I seen them so explicitly and vociferously call for Trump’s removal.
Marc Elias@marcelias.bsky.social · 2mo agoI have a question for those who study the media: Does anyone in corporate owned media wonder if their declining audience and trust is the product of events like we saw last night? Because, as someone who started an independent media outlet, it is definitely part of our growth.

Governor Josh Shapiro@governor.pa.gov · 2mo agoLEBRON IS COMING TO PHILLY. By the power vested in me as the Governor of the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and a die-hard Sixers fan... I hereby proclaim today to be LEBRON JAMES DAY. Welcome to the City of Brotherly Love, LeBron.
They did it, and they’re going to try it again in November.
Moodyblues1973@moodybkues1973.bsky.social · 2mo agoNothing we can do????? Hope Dems have prepared????? Not hopeful.
Christopher Webb@cwebbonline.com · 2mo agoTime to play hardball. Republicans did. Kentucky Republicans changed the Senate succession law to stop a Democratic gov from appointing McConnell’s successor. Beshear says the state Constitution gives him the power to fill statewide vacancies. @govandybeshear.bsky.social #KYSpecialElection 1/2
Watched my first World Cup game, got really hype about Spain winning. Then that fat sac of pus showed up and ruined everything. He never fails to ruin everything.
