I was served this YouTube video. Excellent work by @eumadesimple.wsocial.eu. Let's not permit Republiwhigs/MAGAts to ignore Ukraine; it needs all the support the U.S. can give. I've added this account to those I follow: bsky.app/profile/euma... www.youtube.com/watch?v=8blS...

1/2 Outstanding action by the Premier of B.C. Canada: www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkYN... Any US citizen who visits Canada should be sure to stay at least 48 hours and purchase Canadian goods worth just under $800 US. Those will still be exempt from duty upon return to the US, and not subject to any

A heartfelt discussion with Tim and JVL. I disagree on one point. Since January 6 *was* an insurrection, were FFOTUS Kraznov the DIC not in control at that point, the appropriate response would have been "regular forces" of the US mowing them down on the steps. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLyW...

Excellent! Spread this far and wide. Doing so might motivate him to backpedal even more in future rulings.

I don't know how 2028 will shake out, but as a Californian who's been extremely satisfied with Governor Newsom's performance (both with respect to this state and his resistance to FFOTUS Kraznov the DIC), I found this interview excellent: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPKn...

Constitution? SCOTUS has made clear no one needs no stinkin' constitution. Or laws. The only requisite to doing anything one wants is being part of the Republiwhig cult.

@mcuban.bsky.social, while familiar with your "AI" enthusiasm, my experience as a septuagenarian well-retired engineer makes clear that any upsides to it will be only temporary. This is but the latest in a long line of technologies that displace/replace human labor. There's often been something that

The price of speaking truth: matthewdowd.substack.com/p/a-time-to-... It's unfortunate he must use a Nazi-platforming venue to relate what happened.

It goes without saying that those who voted for Trump deserve all the shit they are getting--no sympathy whatsoever. Close behind are Harris voters who couldn't be bothered to vote. To hell with them. Third are journalists who sanewashed and bothsidesed him. They disgust me.

I follow 54 people here, almost all public figures. Since Wednesday, traffic, including posting by all but a handful of them, replies to them and likes of their posts, as well as likes/replies to my comments/replies, have fallen off dramatically. All I can surmise is that many gave up it up for Lent

My country, the US, is worthless to the free world. Europe must eject the US from NATO and immediately admit Ukraine to the EU and NATO. Then send troops to defeat Russia and its ally, the US.

@joycewhitevance.bsky.social I see you follow and have reposted something from Joey Scars (Joe Scarborough). He's such a wimp his Bluesky settings don't even permit replies. Whenever encountering MAGAts or MAGAts-in-effect like him, I block them, replying to a post "Sayonara." That's this post.

As a US follower of things UK, up till now I've not been too impressed by Starmer's handling of the mess Tories left him. That changed today: www.bbc.com/news/article... If only the people of Europe step up to support him and other EU/NATO leaders take my advice: bsky.app/profile/sals...

As a Californian for the last 47 years of my seven plus decades, I'm occasionally tempted to leave for less populated places. Now, with FFOTUS the DIC's American carnage under way, I'd only consider an alternative like Massachusetts. Both states will pick up the slack in residents' public health.

Why would they scrutinize it? They have no objections to its contents. Just as they have no objections to Hegseth's deplorable history and misogyny. That's why they'll vote to confirm. They've been thoroughly dominated by FFOTUS the DIC (First Felon of the United States the Deplorable-in-Chief).

FFOTUS the DIC has cancelled national treasure Dr. Fauci's security detail. Death threats incited by the DIC do require substantial, expensive security. Hoping for a crowdfunding campaign to pay for it so he's not burdened even more for saving tens of millions of lives. apnews.com/article/fauc...

Climate-denying right wingers are railing about the Moss Landing fire www.npr.org/2025/01/17/g... while ignoring the reality of human-caused global warming (AGW). The appropriate reaction would be to demand utility storage use LFP, not Lithium Ion, batteries, thereby mitigating fire risk.

Fire at one of the world's largest battery plants forces evacuations in California

A major fire erupted south of San Francisco at the Moss Landing Power Plant, forcing hundreds to evacuate. So far, the fire has stayed in the facility, which stores thousands of lithium batteries.
