On 9/11, the people of Gander stepped up. They showed the very best of Canada.
Did James David Vance translate this from the original German?
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3d agoJD Vance: "We were tired of being called racists for noticing that our country was becoming dirtier and poorer"
Mom of 21 years here and have no recollection of same. I did buy a high efficiency washing machine once bc it was cherry red and on sale, is that socialism?
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4d agoBrooke Rollins: "Do you remember, especially the moms out there, when they told us what light bulbs that we could screw into our light fixtures, which washing machines we could use, and which toilets we could flush?"
SNAP kids are just as deserving of a birthday cake, a soda, & a little childhood joy as any other kid. Kids shouldn’t have to understand their family’s financial situation before being allowed to be excited about cake. Somehow we’ve reached where that apparently requires a congressional hearing.
Just insane Islamophobia. Unchecked and unsubtle. No pushback. Casually dropped in articles and headlines and by elected officials. Wild.
Or is Ted Cruz so snaky that he sees the writing on the wall and thinks the written record will make him look like less of a Trump sycophant than he is 🤔 Say a lot of things about Ted Cruz, he’s not the slightest bit principled, but he’s not dumb.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 5d agoTed Cruz with a Freudian slip on CNN while trying to defend Trump's 9/11 lies: "I have every doubt that what he's conveying there is what he experienced"
This is shameful discriminatory and misogynistic reporting. People aren’t choosing disability to be “cool”. Young women don’t have to “prove” to you that they’re sick. Disability rates are skyrocketing because we’ve left a disabling virus rip through the population for over 6 years.
The actual funniest person on Bluesky, folks.

The USPS whistleblower is a hero among heroes. Your initiative and courage are appreciated beyond words.
It’s a sprint, not a sprint sprint. And definitely not a marathon.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last wk.Newsom: "Donald Trump is on the ropes, and he recognizes his presidency is over as we know it this November as long as we run the 100 yard dash. Don't run the 90 yard dash. We're this close!"

Republicans ratchet up a midterm message that raises alarm about Muslims

Now we’re just tossing out accusations of treason, daily, like it’s nothing.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last wk.Trump: "The people and Media Outlets that keep harping on the fact that we have no ammunition (And they are 100% wrong!), are actually treasonous. They do it because they would rather see the United States LOSE a War that we’re easily WINNING, than see me WIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP"
oh fuck you too Apple. It will always be Lake Ontario.
Yes, Republicans. Please lean into the wildly popular data center messaging before the midterms.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2w agoTrump: "The only reason that communities should not want Data Centers is if they want to end up being backwards and poor. ... The good news is that there are plenty of other places that want them. If we kill the Golden Goose, you will only have yourselves to blame."
Child: It’s the mayor. Mamdani: *laughs* Child: What? You are the mayor. You could become the king. Mamdani: I’m happy as the mayor. Jalen Brunson is the king.
I'm sorry, Pete Hegseth, Secretary of Losing, we have already reached our quota for ridiculous, lowbrow narcissists becoming president. Try back in 100 years, if the USA is still here.

I keep seeing more of Dolly’s letters and it makes me love her even more (how is that possible?) She extended so much kindness and magic when nobody was looking. An American treasure 💗
Yashar Ali 🐘@yasharali.bsky.social · 2w agoThis fax that Dolly Parton sent to Michael Bublé to ask him if he wanted to collaborate on a song is a perfect example of how humble and gracious she was. (Dolly communicated primarily by fax)
“If you’re gay, you’re gay. If you’re straight, you’re straight. We are who we are. I don’t believe that we should criticize and judge other people. I think we should be accepting and loving. We are all God’s children.” - Dolly

This morning, the Coldstream Guards at Buckingham Palace performed a tribute to Dolly Parton. The last time I remember the guards at the palace honoring the memory of an American entertainer was when they paid tribute to Aretha Franklin after she passed away.
