Gonna pick myself up, dust myself off, and start all over again. He/him. A Nashville blue-dot in red Tennessee. Celebrating 2 years of sobriety, and counting! #sober #EndCitizensUnited #EndQualifiedImmunity #TeamPete Gun reform now! DC & PR statehood!
HEY EVERYONE REMEMBER WHEN TRUMP WAS IMPEACHED FOR DENYING AID TO UKRAINE BECAUSE HE WANTED ZELENSKY TO LIE AND SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT BIDEN AND ZELENKSY WOULDN’T DO IT?
Maybe literally one fucking American newspapers could mention this in their, “think pieces,” about what happened yesterday.
I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.
📌Your (our) social security information is being compromised as I type this.
📌It is one of the biggest stories in United States history, and for the life of me I don’t understand why it isn’t being treated this way.
📌Fucking sirens should be blaring. It is a full-on emergency.
This is a 4 page post from Heather Cox Richardson and must be read.
I am begging every Democratic committee, PAC, and candidate to get control of your damn email program right now and stop sending tone deaf fundraising emails that have nothing to do with what's happening. Stop listening to focus groups from a month ago. Stop the 2 approved talking points.
On 21 March 1933 Adolf Hitler was officially sworn in as chancellor of Germany. The same day he pardoned 8,000 Nazis, who had committed violent acts, starting with the failed Hitler coup on 8 November 1923.

New bumper sticker! Celebrating one year alcohol-free! #sober
Just heard The Village People are set to perform at Trump’s inauguration.
At this point, perhaps they should rename themselves “The Villages People.”
Hey journalists - can you do us all a favor when you're writing about school shootings?
1. Quit calling the shooter's writings a manifesto. This is incredibly politically loaded language and makes the families targets.
2. Name the gun and the manufacturer. Make them own their part in the shooting.
If you are a federal employee or you know one, I STRONGLY urge you to make sure you are a member of your union and that your dues are current before January 20th.
If you want to understand why healthcare pricing is horrific, the first thing to know is that our system puts 100% of the credit risk for deductibles, copays and co-insurance on hospitals and doctors. That's insane.
We have turned them into Sub Prime Lenders 🧵
Is it just me, or has the MSM spent relative to the scope of the crime, far more time on the United Healthcare exec shooting versus say….Uvalde TX?
I’m not condoning, I’m just saying thoughts and prayers and move on quickly if you’re being fair.
Nobody read too much into this. Especially if you're a world leader. Move along. Nothing to see here.
The image shows people chanting outside House chambers in the Tennessee state capitol. Some are holding rainbow flags. One person holds a sign that says, "You can't erase the queer community."
Dec 3 is a nationwide push for #LGBTQNotGoingBack , answering @juliaserano.bsky.social 's call to action. Use the easy campaign at the link to email your U.S. rep & your 2 U.S. senators. You can change the message, add to it, or record a short video at the end. #Tennessee ujoin.co/campaigns/33...
I’m assuming by the MAGA reaction to the pardon of Hunter Biden that Trump pardoning himself is completely off the table.
A restaurant board sign that reads: “we are not all in the same boat. We are in the same storm. Some have yachts. Some have canoes. And some are drowning. Just be kind and help when you can.
I love this.
Mediaite obtained the police report of the Pete Hegseth alleged sexual assault incident. The details are horrific and should be disqualifying.
Remember, by elevating incompetent fascists like Hegseth, Gabbard, and Gaetz, the aim is to demoralize us.
It's ok to be horrified by the injustice and insanity of it all, but instead of feeling helpless and withdrawing, let’s get angry and fight.
Trans people and immigrants/refugees will be the first thrown under the bus, are the first being thrown under the bus.
Now I know a lot is said about 'then they came for me' but if you don't want time to be a flat fuckin' circle wise the fuck up.
The other reason folks that we must fight so hard
The plan is here...Let's go! And thank you, Dr. Bernice King for the direction.
Imma need some of you to think about thriving out of spite. I had big plans for 2025 and I’m definitely not gonna pre-derail them for likes of Elin and Tromp. I’m getting more involved. Loving harder. Writing hornier. Having more fun. I’m gonna be so kind to my neighbors, bitch.
I don’t believe that Trump is going to mass deport immigrants, I believe he fully intends to Uyghur them. The money isn’t in mass deportation, but mass incarceration. One day your neighbor will be here, the next day — gone. But not where you think…
You know what to do when someone is trying to break into your house..You stop them before they have the chance. #nomagazone #nofascistsallowed

Just sayin’
You can't own anyone who completely ignores you, on any platform. I strongly recommend blocking or muting, and refusing to engage. Yelling and being mean in a vacuum gets boring really fast.
Joe Scarborough and Mika from Morning Joe, their ratings plummeting, made a pilgrimage to Mar-a-Lago because they decided if you can't beat him, grovel for access and help normalize him AGAIN.
STOP 👏
WATCHING👏

How long before people start falling out of windows here?
And now he has immunity, compliments of his Supreme Court.
“This one is a purge for the sheer pleasure of punishing people Donald Trump doesn't like and a message to all who might think of opposing him in the future,” @digby56.bsky.social writes. www.salon.com/2024/11/18/p...
