Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 22/04/2026Seriously??…. Nobody with any kind of qualifications is going to sign up to work with the federal government. They’ll have to lower the standards down to the current ICE standards. It’s like a toddler is running the government. 030
Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 08/03/2026I’m sorry, but it’s a little difficult to differentiate between so-called unhinged rants. You can’t believe anything that any of them says. 000
Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 08/03/2026Biden was never great at speaking. He could be halting and compensating for a long ago stutter, but what happened to him by fellow democrats is disgusting. His administration tried to help people in need. If he was in pain or dealing with side effects still 5000% better than Trump. 120
Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 07/03/2026He is a decent man and I’m sad that his legacy has questions of his competency. Not that there weren’t issues but even unconscious he would be a far superior president to Trump. 150
Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 07/03/2026They killed school children. Little school children. 😣😣 010
Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 07/03/2026I miss him. I miss a truly incredible, intelligent, kind, and compassionate person. I was so excited and proud when he was elected, and then I saw reaction from the other side. And the only scandal in his presidency was that day he wore a brown suit. 000
Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 28/01/2026Also a little kid in the 1960s and a teenager in the 70s. I just keep thinking of Kent State. And the phrase “ 4 dead in Ohio just keeps repeating in my head 000
Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 27/01/2026Are we going to hear about them shooting someone every single day? But we can’t forget that people are being abused every single day. 😱😱😱😱 010
Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 27/01/2026I told them as I’m the only one who has Bluesky how SSA had been posting and that all of the federal employees were trying so hard 010
Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 27/01/2026It’s beyond past time to get an edit button. Two people I know got their Social Security resolved, and are getting paid which I was really surprised by given what circumstances you all are working under. 110
Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 24/01/2026Unfortunately, very true words. I’m glad that my mother-in-law who escaped the Nazis in Germany is not alive. She would be beside herself that it’s happening again. And I don’t use the word Nazi lightly 010
Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 24/01/2026A frozen water storm. We’re used to snow storms but an ice storm is a whole different matter or frozen water storm. I hope people are taking it seriously. 010
Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 08/01/2026You can’t look at it with any kind of sane intention because he is demented and ill. He’s using whatever opportunity he can to bully everybody, including other countries because as he says he can. But no rationality ever enters the equation. He is a demented, ill, old bully. 020
Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 08/01/2026Yes, the Dems should and I so wish that I thought that more than a couple of them would. The difference is so clear and very easy to explain. I can’t even be somewhat optimistic because I took my rose colored glasses and put them down the garbage disposal sometime ago. 000
Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 08/01/2026Awe…. I have a similar fuzzy critter on my lap, and I never doubt that cats are intelligent and very, very tuned in to what’s going on around them. I think that’s why he crawled up on my lap. 010
Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 08/01/2026I guess it’s time to finally get a shingles shot. I have all of the others. And this year‘s flu variant looks like it’s going to take a tragic toll. I don’t plan on being out in public, but if I have to go anywhere, it’s going to be masked. 040
Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 09/12/2025Couldn’t we just have Seal Team 6 dump him on one of those boats and act accordingly…. Just asking… 010
Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 10/11/2025Has it ever been this bad? I’m glad that my mother-in-law isn’t alive so I could ask her if it reminded her of her parents being murdered by the Nazis. Same? Different? Or headed that way? 000
Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 10/11/2025Happy Birthday… same age as my daughter. I’ve been watching what’s been going on since the civil rights marches in the 1960s and the Vietnam War. You do what you can to resist in protest and get involved in the process, locally and federally. 100
Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 10/11/2025I meant to say Democrats not dumps, but maybe that’s what my brain was saying 140
Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 10/11/2025I live in New York, so you know who my reps are and it was great here locally for the Dems. I felt cheery for the first time in months. I have been waiting for the dumps to come out and say clearly and repeatedly and loud loudly why it was they weren’t going to cave in. Crickets. Crickets. 120
Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 10/11/2025There was a brief bit of happiness with the election, and this feels like a kick in the head frankly. 170
Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 10/11/2025And actually, I’m really fucking pissed off about it. So does my being fucking pissed off change anything nope. But I can change the fact that I keep reading things that fucking piss me off. 110
Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 10/11/2025I’m not personally arguing anything. I shared it because it is being debated and argued about. However…. Damn time to leave Bluesky. Sharing something doesn’t mean I endorse it. 110
Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 10/11/2025SSA… this is making the rounds. Too tired to read into it or to check out the legitimacy right now but possibility it’s correct and that would reframe things somewhat 101
Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 07/11/2025Really? You are quiet and shy? Surprised to hear that. You probably wouldn’t be surprised to hear that I am not quiet or shy. 000
Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 07/11/2025If Bernie could actually get his ideas past for universal healthcare and taxing the rich and the rest of it, I would be all for that. But I’m a realist and that’s not going to fly for great swaths of the country. But I don’t see the Dems out there saying no this isn’t due to us. They need to explain 010
Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 07/11/2025Nice job fish and wildlife. I’ve kind of smiled a few times in the last couple of days. I agree. 020
Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 07/11/2025I am a third generation teacher, and this made me smile. We need to support our schools and our teachers so that they’re not having to fund their own classrooms like I did for decades. 000
Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 07/11/2025My point was that old people always vote. I was raised in the generation where you were taught to give something back to the community. Be it volunteering for like my husband who’s been a volunteer fireman EMT for decades. You live in a community and have a certain responsibility therefore. 010
Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 07/11/2025My husband and I were just talking about this. The Democratic Party has to look for younger leaders. That’s not to say that the older leaders have done a bad job and I know that’s up to debate but it’s time for younger people to take the policy direction to the next generation. 110
Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 06/11/2025Three of my grandparents lost siblings to childhood illnesses that we now have vaccines for. Children suffered greatly and then they died. And that was a frequent occurrence. My maternal grandmother had polio as a child and had post polio issues for the rest of her life. 010
Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 06/11/2025I am definitely in the OLD demographic, but have always been progressive. So you need us old folks too because we actually go out and vote in every single election. And if you look at the people at the polling places they are all my age. We participate and we vote. Your turn young people. 120
Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 06/11/2025This made me happy tonight and it’s so hard to make me happy on any night anymore. Reading some of the testimony is an exercise in how low and ridiculous lawyers working for Trump will debase themselves. This is my happy face 😆 130
Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 06/11/2025NASA. Both of my grandchildren are immersed in fun nature and science activities when they stay with us. Personally, I think the moon is magical and I was just out looking at the beautiful moon we had. But then I’m a little weird. I prefer being out in nature to being with most people. 000
Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 06/11/2025My father used to spend a lot of time on science with us kids and one of the things we enjoyed most was using the telescope which led to a lifelong love of space. I just gave my grandson a telescope, and we worked with it this summer. I watched the first steps on the moon. I am crushed by this news 130
Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 31/10/2025It made me nervous to look into my ancestry. For the one line, I did not know what I would find. I found an indentured servant who then had to buy land that was stolen from native Americans. But he was white, so I’m guessing that’s why he was allowed to buy the land and then remain living there. 000
Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 31/10/2025I just bought your book after reading some of your posts. I was in elementary school in the 1960s. And a lot was going on in the rest of the country in the 1960s. But my mostly white class was being taught that the early colonial settlers were so helpful to the Native Americans. 100
Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 31/10/2025Just followed. Thank you I will dig into all of the information even though it’s gonna make me more depressed than I already am. 000
Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 24/10/2025But Obama did wear that tan suit. I was looking at your books because the fact that you were a seabee caught my eye because my late father-in-law was also in the second world war. And you like animals. 😃 000
Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 24/10/2025I think everybody should be paid who’s working for the federal government. But maybe we’d also like to see that children don’t go without. This administration it’s just so callous and cruel. 110
Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 24/10/2025I know it won’t be the same, and there is so much history, but taking it down and all of the crap that he put up in the White House at least lets me think that maybe something can be put right again. Being so angry and in despair all the time does not help my MS symptoms. It makes them worse. 010
Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 24/10/2025Yeah, I just read this article. How is it illegal to list the names of the drugs that they found were contaminated? How many millions of people in this country, including children could be taking contaminated drugs? While we’re spending money harming the public and so many other levels. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 000
Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 23/10/2025Already our local food pantries are reporting in increasing numbers of families, needing food support. Multiply this across the country. So families don’t get to eat, but Trump can create that abomination that used to be our White House. Please donate to food pantries 010
Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 23/10/2025I agree with Jim Acosta. The next Democrat in office should tear that down and try to restore it back to what it was. 110
Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 23/10/2025Part of me says that’s what you voted for. But that’s not what children voted for and they are the ones who were going to suffer the most. 010
Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 23/10/2025Trump is just closing market access to US cattle farmers. And they’re not going to get it back. Countries are already showing they’re buying from other than the US. He is such a fuck wit. 020
Willow @wheepingwillowtree.bsky.social · 23/10/2025And that doesn’t even show the extremely wealthy people or Russian oligarchs…. 110
