Dear Bluesky: I've been trying to post a photo - a snapshot, saved on my laptop deskstop - to Bluesky, but it keeps not appearing. What am I doing wrong? Anybody know? Thanks! John Weir

We have to keep telling MAGA they’re lying. Whenever they are. Which is often! That’s my Thanksgiving prayer. May we keep pointing out their lies. Let there be a record of our refutations. It will matter later! It matters now.

X is so poisonous. I try to see what it is about us that makes Trumpies feel attacked; but my god, are they contemptuous of difference. They find difference sinister, they want it erased. Yet I thrive on difference, it’s what I cherish. “The different ways in which we are all alike”: Gertrude Stein.

X is filled - my feed, anyway, is filled - with Trump fans sharing lies with each other, and heaping hatred and abuse on trans women. (Trans men don't appear to worry them.) It's overwhelming. I choose to stay there and clap back at their lies. Is that wrong of me? I can't believe what they believe.

Explain this: Trumpies have been posting anti-gay memes about Transportation Secy Pete Buttigieg for the past 4 years. So Trump nominates, as Treasury Secy, Scott Bessent, gay guy with a husband & 2 kids, like Pete. Will the Trumpies post anti-gay memes about him? Does God only hate Democratic f**s?

"Nancy Mace explains on a weekly basis that she was the victim of sexual assault... but she also breathlessly supports someone like Donald Trump, who is an adjudicated rapist and was credibly accused of sexual assault by 26 different women. So the cognitive dissonance at play here is incredible."

1/ Call the House Ethics Committee, demand that the Gaetz report be released, whether he's in Congress or not: 202-225-7103 And call members of the House Ethics Committee and demand the report be released to the taxpayers who paid for it:

John Weir @jweirdo.bsky.social · 22/11/2024

PS: *BUT*: re. Matt Gaetz: There is still a report that we, the taxpayers, paid for, because Representatives work for us, they are our proxies in Congress, that's what "representative democracy" means; and: we have the right to see the contents of the Gaetz report. Whether he's gonna be AG or not.

John Weir @jweirdo.bsky.social · 21/11/2024

The headline is misleading. The Committee made no decision. They will meet again on December 5th to decide. That's what news reports said yesterday, anyway.

John Weir @jweirdo.bsky.social · 21/11/2024

Praise to all who called the House Ethics Committee to demand release of the report on Matt Gaetz. He has withdrawn from consideration to be DT's AG. We still need to see the report, though, as the Committee is doing the taxpayers' work in our stead, which is what "representative government" means.

Raw unvarnished truth here.

Post from Adam If Matt Gaetz DIDNT rape a minor, the GOP would have released the report.

Just fyi

Word is this House bill goes for a vote on Thursday 21 Nov: H.R. 9495 would grant Donald Trump sole power to investigate and shut down any tax-exempt organization that criticizes him. Call your Representatives, tell them to vote no! #s here: www.house.gov/representati...

Don't Give Trump This Much Power

This is potentially a massive, dangerous power grab by the Trump Administration

The Ethics Committee did *not* come to agreement about releasing the Gaetz report, despite what their GOP Chair said. They are meeting again December 5th. In the meantime, call the Committee, demand the report's release: 202-225-7103

John Weir @jweirdo.bsky.social · 20/11/2024

Call the Committee! 202-225-7103. The report is not for them, it's for us, the American people. We need the facts. How dare they try to suppress the truth.

John Weir @jweirdo.bsky.social · 20/11/2024

What're you doing to intervene against Trump's corrupt interregnum? I'm gonna call the House Ethics Committee again, demand the release of the Gaetz report. They met 20 Nov, reached no agreement; they meet again 5 Dec. GOP members of course want the report suppressed. Call again! 202-225-7103

House Ethics Committee will keep Matt Gaetz report under wraps

Rep. Susan Wild said there was "no consensus" on the issue and the committee agreed to reconvene on Dec. 5.

RFK Jr. is a massive public health threat

What are you doing today to fight Trump’s corrupt interregnum? I’m reading about RFK, Jr., so as to have talking points at hand, in case I run into a Trumpy at the Mobil Mart!

Dems like Jared Polis shouldn't pretend pretend otherwise.

The 3 AM guy refuses to be affected by his snarling nasty self-satisfying tweets and petty jabs. He wants us fed up and on edge and off-center and unable to act. He's nothing. Pfft. Debtor bankrupt sex offender. Mourn, sure, but be strategic about it. Grieve with a purpose. Fight Back.

Farmworkers Are Organizing to Resist Trump’s Attacks on Immigrant Workers

What are you doing to resist Trump's corruption? I'm reading about farmworkers who are organizing to protect immigrant laborers. A clip: "We need to recognize that we’re in a position of power, not weakness, because we hold the levers of the food system." Don't surrender in advance! Fight back!

Casey vs McCormick: Recount starts today

What're you doing tonight to intervene against the GOP's complicity in Trump's corruption? I'm keeping tabs on the recount for US Senator in PA. Started on the 18th, must be done by the 26th. The GOP is of course suing to stop it. Dem Casey v Repo McCormick, who's ahead by 17K votes. Breath held!

202-225-7103 What have you done today to fight back against Trump's crimes and corruptions? I called the House Ethics Committee and told the person who answered that I demand the release of the Committee's report on Matt Gaetz, Trump's nominee (!) for Attorney General. You can too! 202-225-7103

The 3 AM guy woke me at dawn to say, "Be sure to call the House of Reps Ethics Committee to demand they release their report on Matt Gaetz," which I did, sometimes I follow instructions, I called just now, 11:44 AM, got a receptionist, and left the briefest message with her. Your turn: 202-225-7103.

Surely, though, he knew there was damning stuff in the report? Unless he was in a drunken blackout when he abused underage women, and has no recollection.
