Michelle Obama: The lies about your birthright, your faith, your patriotism, the outrage when you stated the biological fact that if you'd had a son that he too would be black, yet you were unflappable at every turn, always focused.
The ballroom is a money laundering operation? Is he giving himself the general contractor position?
Angry@angrystaffer.bsky.social · 5mo agoStaggering levels of corruption. They’re using every possible lever of power to enrich themselves and their friends and families. And the “party of fiscal responsibility” simply doesn’t care.
That bottle of Prosecco is staring me in the face this morning like “Did it happen yet?!!” I mean, come ON already.
Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"
Hey Bluesky, it’s been awhile. Just updated my follow-backs & came her to say that my money is on Bubba the horse, not Bubba the former POTUS. 😁😉
Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement? The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy. At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.
Remember the one & only time Article 5 was used & all of NATO went to war to help the USA? Remember how some of our countrymen gave their lives for a country who’d then elect a man who threatens our sovereignty & says the USA may not return the favour should we be attacked? Yeah.
I wanna get this to Newsom’s PR team: in response to the auto pen photo in place of Biden’s pic, Newsom needs to say that when HE becomes POTUS, he will replace Trump’s portrait with one of a big old TACO.
Speaker Mike Johnson is REFUSING to swear in Rep. Grijalva in Arizona to prevent the release of the Epstein files. This is LAWLESSNESS. Even if the Dems do win back the House do you all really think this lot will honor such a free and fair election?
Make America China? MAC.
Angry Donkey News@angrydonkeynews.bsky.social · last yr.Michigan Republicans propose new bill that would ban all adult content online, ranging from ASMR to any depiction of trans people, even in non-adult videos. It also calls for ISPs to begin draconian monitoring of all internet activity and would ban VPNs www.cnet.com/tech/service...
Tom Homan took a bribe. Knowing how Trump operates I would assume every single one of Trump’s appointees has a skeleton or 3 in their closet that he can hold over them if & when needed. Hope to live long enough to hear about them all.
Fuck no to the F-35s. Wed be better off with nothing at all.
RichardJR@electricbluesfan.bsky.social · last yr.1/11 🇨🇦 BUYING THE F-35 COULD BE CANADA'S BIGGEST STRATEGIC MISTAKE 🇨🇦 In a stunning analysis for The Walrus, #PeterJones argues that purchasing a full fleet of #F-35 fighter jets would make Canada's defence "utterly dependent" on the #UnitedStates at a dangerously uncertain time. #CdnPoli #Defence
A disabled double amputee named Rodney Taylor has been held in ICE custody since January. He’s been denied his new prosthetic legs and is now in solitary confinement. His “crime”? A burglary when he was a teen for which he received a full pardon. 🧵
All of America forgets they are the only country to invoke Article 5 and have all of NATO's support after 9/11. NATO countries spent billions and lost thousands of their soldiers fighting in Afganistan only for Trump to negotiate giving Afganistan back to the Taliban. America is the problem.
If the USA doesn’t back NATO in Europe, it will be the most egregious, traitorous event in modern history. We sacrificed our men & women for the USA, believing we had a deal, that we could count on them to defend us too. It will mean WW3, death, destruction & an entirely new world order. 😡
The only thing that gives me hope is seeing how very, very stupid he & everyone in his administration appear to be. It’s so obvious. They’re not evil masterminds.
Why was Tucker all “Russia is the best! Look at these cool grocery carts, we should be like Russia!” And the moment Trump starts the process of making America into Russia, he’s all pissed off? What gives?
Man, it would depend on the dog. A well-washed hypoallergenic dog, absolutely cool. But if I had to smell *dog* for hours beside me I might lose my mind. No hate toward dogs - I’m no Kristi Noem - just a cat 🐈⬛ lover with a sensitive nose.

I feel like there are a lot of MAGA or MAGA adjacent ppl celebrating the downfall of nighttime comedy who don’t realize their favourite viewing could be next. Remember Trump complaining about football? Maybe he’ll start ordering players be fired “Or else”….
Absolutely. Canadian rights should be guaranteed. You can’t lose them by moving from one province to another.
MondoAB@mondoab.bsky.social · last yr.Our rights should be inalienable. "It argued repeated use of the clause amounts to "indirectly amending the Constitution," and that the court should be able to rule on whether it can result in the "irreparable impairment" of Canadians' rights." www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
Yo resisters! As my #altCitizen granny said, they can take everything from you but your education & your integrity. Most of us don’t testify to congress, but we all have ways to speak truth to the world. Silence is complicity. Speak your mind even if your voice is shaking. Your integrity matters.
The Bulwark@thebulwark.com · last yr.Dr. Susan Monarez: “I could have stayed silent, agreed to the demands, and no one would have known. What the public would have seen were scientists dismissed without cause and vaccine protections quietly eroded…I would have lost the one thing that cannot be replaced: My integrity.”
Late night talk show hosts serve at the king’s pleasure.
Ah, yes, it’s quite acceptable to joke about people being killed so long as they’re brown. Got it.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last yr.Vance on Trump's strikes on boats: "I wouldn't go fishing right now in that area of the world."
In the days since someone said we should kill the homeless and mentally ill, the unhoused have been shot and lynched from trees in multiple states, yet @foxnews.com.web.brid.gy Brian Kilmeade, that someone who said it, still has a job.
