I was infuriated that Google bowed to Trump, until I panned in to see that next to “Lake America” it says “Smallest of the 5 Great Lakes”.

Just watched the new documentary on Netflix about Boeing, and for some reason, it upset me so badly. Our corrupt justice and political systems have failed these families & the whistleblowers. It’s failed all of us. Really surprised there aren’t more CEOs out there getting Luigi’d. #Boeing #Netflix

Been watching fascinating ROCA News interviews with people from Appalachia on YouTube. Those interviewed are all MAGA, and the blatant lies they repeat about Trump’s economy are straight from alt right media and Fox News: Proof that a new Fairness Doctrine is essential for our country’s survival.

Judge sounded familiar, so I Googled him. Turns out, I knew his family. (Embarrassing, right?) Definitely “God & Country” type folks. Disturbing that a big fish in a crappy coal-dust choked tiny pond in the literal middle of nowhere can have enough power to wreak havoc on an entire political system.

The feds aren’t confiscating ballots in swing states in order to find evidence of tampering by the Democrats. They’re confiscating ballots so they can destroy evidence of their own manipulation. They don’t want us to find that not only did Kamala win, but Hillary probably did as well.

Suggest kids only be allowed the phones with 3 numbers + police (which, incidentally, are still traceable, some having a geofence which alerts parents when the kid leaves a specific area) and watch people come out of the woodwork criticizing you. Makes you wonder who is so set on kids having phones?

You’ll never convince me that Trump won Pennsylvania without Musk’s help in 2024. Did they do a test run in 2022? Fetterman seems to be awfully indebted to Trump for some reason.

Sometimes Bluesky seems a bit anemic, so I did something I swore I’d never do, & created a new Twitter account. I deactivated it after 5 minutes. What a cesspool it’s become. My recommended follows were all far right, and the RW trolls were even worse than before. Learn from my mistake. Don’t do it!

RFK, Jr isn’t open-minded enough to entertain theories on causes of Autism other than vaccines. He is actively impeding research into other possibilities, such as Folic Acid being a contributor. Women hoping to become pregnant have for years been encouraged to take Folic Acid supplements.

Now that there’s a collective outrage about the #EpsteinClass, isn’t time to reevaluate how they are able to influence and corrupt policy? Citizens United allows the rich, and foreign actors, to buy our politicians. It’s time for people to demand something be done about it.

This never fails to amaze me. I assume because I come to Bluesky for the politics, as I previously did Twitter, that these are primarily political sites; yet, during a time when the country is burning to the ground, this is what’s trending. We kinda get what we deserve. (And what’s #Queerwolf?)

Don’t congratulate Hilton too heartily. In a statement last night, they walked this decision back. Not clear if the original refusal to house ICE was a clerical error or if a rogue employee was trying to be a hero. Regardless, Hilton proved to be just another soulless corporation in the end.

In Charlotte, the local news interviewed a woman (with 80s hair & a Midwest accent) who drove two hours, supposedly from Boone, NC, to show support for ICE. She brought them donuts & claimed this cruelty is what she voted for, 3 times. Her name is Renee White, and she doxxed herself.
