In a country with a president who is such a destructive sore loser, politicians who are both helpful and gracious in defeat is a greatly appreciated novelty.

Can anyone point me to academic papers on the English and Irish traditions of artifact concealment and apotropaic practices, and their adoption in New England? Especially interested in artifact placement under dwelling thresholds. #Archaeology #Folklore #Ireland

I’m glad the President has his priorities straight.

Dana Bash showed in this interview exactly how to handle a gaslighting sociopath. This is precisely how journalists should deal with all of them, including Trump.

RFK Jr yelling at Dana Bash sounds like a rabid dog barking

According To Massachusetts Dept. Of Revenue, It's Generated $ 3.38 Billion During The Most Recent Fiscal Year Alone ! So Go Ahead, TAX THE RICH..... (WBUR)

Watching "American Rust" Season 2, Episode 6. A big, bald guy just introduced himself as Dale Evans. Wasn't Dale Evans Roy Rogers' wife?

We actually had the 16th highest mortality rate in the world and it largely resulted from the ignorant asshats who were *resisting* the common sense protection measures Fauci was promoting like masking and distancing. What a colossal asshole.

RFK Jr: "Because of Dr Fauci's leadership and other reasons, we had the highest mortality rate from covid of any country in the world" #OtherReasons 🙃

Hey @troyjackson207.bsky.social! Congrats on the nomination. I'd love to contribute, but not through ActBlue (they give your contact info to every Democrat on the planet). Put a postal address on your website, and I'll donate.

Mainers, I hope you realize you have a real political talent on your hands. Her name is Devon Murphy Anderson. “Maine deserves … someone who will protect our reproductive freedom, not Susan Collins, who strips it away with her words. No regrets."

Definitely be Like Bob😊🇨🇦

This is one of a few PSAs made for a group called WeRideTogether on IG. Please go there to follow them as I don’t see them here on BlueSky. It’s a great flip on the dystopian reality of gaslighting that SA survivors face daily. Oh and Release the #EpsteinFiles. I believe the women!

It's a war crime.

Any chance Spain could edit him out of all of these scenes, too? #Glory-Hog-In-Chief

James Talarico had one message about Jasmine Crockett. “Keep her name out your mouth… She’s a leader in this state, a leader in this country, and she deserves the utmost respect.” 🔥 That’s what leadership looks like. #SheShed

I’m wondering what the so-called Christians who support Trump make of Psalm 52. Kind of awkward for them, no?

The Bluesky winner of the day.

I wasn’t ready for this. ☠️ 😭 Low T Pete will never live this down.

Make it make sense.

People are fearful the November elections will be rigged. But one way to ensure the will of the people is assured is to show up to vote in numbers Too Big To Rig! We need to get out the vote for this mid-term election more than ever before. Play a role in your community! Help drive participation!

What’s that amendment again? Oh, yeah 25!!!...🤔🤔🤔

It's intention is. EXACTLY THAT!!!

BARTIROMO: Slotkin says the SAVE America Act would make it harder for Democrats to win REP. GREG STEUBE: She's right

To be clear: This is funding for what the State Department calls "civilizational allies" - MAGA-aligned people and parties in Europe, who share their disdain for human rights and their preference for ethnically pure societies and a totally unregulated internet

Anne Applebaum@anneapplebaum.wsocial.eu · 3w ago

The State Department has just put out a tender, offering funding of up to $3 million to European organizations who want to fight against "Supra-national institutions" - presumably the EU - and governments who seek to regulate the internet and end Western Civilization. www.state.gov/drl-nofo-dev...

This clip should be played by network news outlets every damn time Traitor Trump belches out another fictional “election fraud” claim.

Great to support the Dems, but be warned that if you donate via ActBlue, every Democratic candidate across the country, for any race from dog-catcher to president, will have your contact info, and you will hear from them many, many times, and it will never end.

Exactly right. In our short time on Earth we have no way of knowing whether we will ever get another chance to do the right thing.

Adam Kinzinger@adamkinzinger.substack.com · 3w ago

What’s sad to me… is that Lindsay Graham probably thought he could outlast Trump and then reconcile his morality after that. There is no after that now. It’s a good reminder… always do what you know to be right, right NOW. And when you recognize you crossed a line, that’s ok, but come back.

This is important.

Trump is incapable of understanding this.

GET A GRIP Ireland is building a battery that contains no lithium. No cobalt. No rare-earth metals. Instead, it stores energy using carbon dioxide. The project is designed to hold 200 megawatt-hours of electricity, making it one of Europe’s largest long-duration energy storage systems.

Here it is in nutshell folks. Say things to get noticed but never walk the talk. It's embarrassing and you can help people see that. The midterms are coming.
