I felt that. But in this instance, the toddler has nuclear weapons.
Moriah@moriah1121.bsky.social · 2d agoLook closely at Trump’s behavior; the horrifying expression as he berates a reporter for an innocuous question. This is devastating deterioration right before our eyes. ENOUGH!
Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez has delivered an emotional message to the people of Gaza after receiving a video from a young Palestinian girl, Layan, and local artists who painted a mural of him in appreciation of Spain's support for Palestinians. #Spain #PedroSanchez #Gaza #Palestine #MiddleEast

How did Ukraine manage to attack an Iranian vessel carrying drones from Iran to Russia if nothing gets through without Trump's permission? Does Trump *want* Russia to have more drones?
Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 2d agoWhat a surprise. The “peace deal negotiations” Trump talked about yesterday and Republicans saying on Fox that something is “very close” was just more blather and drivel.
IMPEACH • CONVICT • REMOVE The Constitution gave Congress the power—it’s time to use it. Holding leaders accountable isn't politics; it's a sworn duty to the rule of law. Before the midterms is not too soon. Leadership isn’t optional—it’s an obligation. #RuleIX
Get 'em, girl

This is why you can't trust a thing from these organizations. The second shit gets tough, all their "beliefs," "values," and "ideals" go straight out the fucking window. BoA, Columbia, ABC... God forbid we expect them to put people over money, and stand for something. apnews.com/article/scou...

Trump threatens to pull Todd Blanche’s nomination and renominate him after the midterms. This makes the Epstein Files, Trump’s slush fund for insurrectionists, and tax fraud immunity major topics heading into the midterms.
PatriotTakes 🇺🇸@patriottakes.bsky.social · 6d agoTrump just made the midterms about his Epstein files coverup
Let's not forget: Meta glasses (and Flock cameras) take away a person's consent. Epstein and the Epstein Class did the same with children. Elon Musk's AI is suing Minnesota for a new law banning the "nudification" technology. Are we 'great' yet?
Rand Paul--who doesn't believe in evolution--holding a hearing of Dr. Fauci--a retired, life-long public servant-- while we are *actively* in the midst of SEVERAL disease outbreaks due to unnecessary public health cuts and corporate lobbying shows exactly how unserious Republicans are.
Is anyone else tired of being here? Not "I want to die." More "I wish my GATE aliens were real & that they were on their way to pick me up and take me to a mirror Earth that's not populated and run by conservative pedophiles and a bunch of other hateful dickbags." Mom, can you pick me up early? 🙏🏽
If you've built a data center, why would you power it with coal or natural gas? 1. They've already been talking about modular nuclear power plants for these things. 2. You have a LOT of unused roof space, and solar panels are incredibly cheap for projects at that scale.

There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble apprehension, is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution. John Adams
Say it with me, Benjamin Netanyahu is a murderous dictator and war criminal thug who belongs in prison. Beings like him, Putin, Kim Jong Un and the orange felon make the world much more dangerous and chaotic.
