I am so tired of paywalls! I've long defended the rights of news organizations to charge for their services but it is becoming absurd. Why should I sign up to some piddling little rag to read one story and then never go there again? Most stories on Bluesky are now behind a paywall and inaccessible

Happy 65th Birthday, August 4th, to the best President in US History. The black man "they" feared, led with humor, dignity & grace for 8 yrs scandal-free, has a beautiful & accomplished family, and is beloved by millions around the world. @barackobama.bsky.social #BarackObama #ThePeoplesPresident

Trump & MAGA lost their minds when Doug Ford put this commercial last spring using Ronald Reagan's own words in 1987 about tariffs. Well, I’m bringing that back for those who want to cry & whine some more over it, so Americans know who is really paying the tariffs. You’re welcome 😏😂

So the brain-dead syphilitic man-child in the White House has imposed new tariffs on Canada because, er, it’s a bit smoky! When are you Americans going to do something about your moronic president before he decides to nuke Ottawa?

What's so depressing are the relentless attacks of Donald Trump and his hate-filled Supreme Court but that it's all just bluster! Nothing gets done and every day Democrats and decent Americans allow the US to slip deeper into the mire. For Christ's sake, get your fingers out of your arses

Why in God's name did Kaitlin Collins simply stand there while Trump slandered her. If calling a reporter "corrupt" on public TV isn't grounds to sue then nothing is! When will this White House corp of simpering enablers finally find their backbones?

When will the media stop treating and reporting Trump as though he is not a lying, cheating moron who has no place in the White House? The Times today: "Trump brokers Lebanon-Israel truce” No, he didn't! Netanyahu wanted one and told Trump! It's lazy journalism that prolongs America's misery.

So Trump says he ended the Lebanese war by talking to the leaders of both sides! Really? Netanyahu and, er , who precisely?

When will CNN stop treating Trump as a legitimate president and not a dangerous lunatic? I’ve read two “learned” essays so far this morning from their so-called experts in which they sanitize his options as if he weren’t a totally out-of-control nutjob. It’s nauseating!

Did you know that when bees grow old…they spend their last night resting gently on a flower beneath the stars. If they see another sunrise, they’ll gather one last bit of pollen…So when you see a little bee resting on a flower at dusk…pause & thank her. She’s more precious than gold. ~ GardeningSoul

A photo of an orange flower, in which two bees are facing and nestling together. “Did you know that when bees grow old, they don’t always make it back to the hive. Instead, they spend their last night resting gently on a flower beneath the stars. If they see another sunrise, they’ll gather one last bit of pollen as a final gift to their colony before quietly slipping away. So when you see a little bee resting on a flower at duck… pause and thank her. She’s more precious than gold.”

Marco Rubio declared that under the Constitution being born in the USA does not make you a citizen unless your parents are citizens. Marco Rubio's parents were Cuban immigrants who were NOT citizens at the time of his birth. Do you think Marco will now self-deport?

So the Japanese PM abases herself in front of Trump (“ Only you can save the world, Donald.”) after which your president makes a “joke” about Pearl Harbour. I suppose we should be grateful it wasn’t about Hiroshima.

Thank God Trump is a Russian asset. The last time the US and Russia faced off over Cuba the world came within minutes of a nuclear war. And that was with a sane president in the Oval Office…

Dear Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt: You may not be aware of this, but it actually matters to the American public whether Donald Trump (1) has the intellect and temperament of a five-year old, (b) is a racist cretin, or (c) as seems most likely, both. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Just read an essay by Andrew Day in something called The American Conservative and now I feel I need fumigation. It’s a fascist polemic on why the ICE murders don’t matter because morality is an obstacle to overcome. I’m no moralist, so I could quite cheerfully take a baseball bat to his head.
