Anyone else had a message re age verification? Or is it a scam?
Its gone bad to worse since he broke his hip-so hard to watch the decline x
Back for a little-OH very poorly and now in nursing care. Dementia is such a generous condition-complicates and exacerbates all the other issues he has. Hate to see him suffering π #dementia #alzheimers #infection
Off to visit OH at the hospital! Hip operation has gone well but with the dementia etc there are many issues outstanding! #dementia #falls #seniorcare #carecrisis
Three headlines from the New York Times and two from the Guardian. The headlines are; 1. Trump says he wants Alcatraz restored as a prison 2. Clown Donald Trump slammed for Ai-generated pope post 3. Trump 2028 hats and t shirts for sale on US Presidentβs online store
Trump for Pope, a third term, re-opening Alcatraz.
These stories all serve a critical purpose.
To distract from the story of our age: that the President of the United States is enriching his family with billions by running a corruption racket right out of the Oval Office.

CNN's Jim Acosta signing off:
"I will not give in to the lies. I will not give into the fear. Post it on your social media so people can hear from you too."
I will not give in to the lies. I will not give into the fear. Post it on your social media so people can hear from you too.
Pass it on.
80 years since liberation.
Many of us had family there. Many of us source our values from what happened there.
Itβs not just βhistoryβ for us. We can still see the trauma generations later.
Lessons are being forgotten. Minorities are increasing demonised. We must renew the vow - Never again.
Wow, look, they all seem to have a certain look, dont they?
Maybe it's cultural.
WE NEED A NATIONAL INQUIRY ANYTHING LESS IS A COVER-UP.
Its awful! I struggled to get rid of it

@johnfugelsang.bsky.social
Iβm worried sick about patient safety as highly trained clinicians are replaced by 2yr-trained associates. Does this make me a βsocial media rabbleβ? Or is the βbe kindβ movement being cynically weaponised? Those monitoring my posts, put this on the agenda for the meeting youβve asked me to attend.
