- The first day of winter in Florida.
- Thanks to my daughter @legogrl.bsky.social for this.
- Today is my grandson's 21st birthday. Hold them tight...they grow up so fast. I love you, Tyler.
- I watch as real Americans resolve to fight tyranny and fascism every day, and I'm reminded of the difference between us and MAGAets. We are truly fighting for America...they are butthurt children, gloating over a victory that will spell defeat for them as well as us. Onward and upward.
- Just in case you forgot.
- Anyone who's been on social media for a while gets follows from 'famous' people, and they're, of course, fake. I just got followed by Barry Manilow on BlueSky. Except the @ is barrymanillow.bsky.social. His name is Lola, he was a show girl.
- Good morning, Blue Sky. Is he gone yet? He's not? Fuck.
- This .... became this .... virtually overnight. Hug your grandchildren. They grow up so fast.
- If it weren't for the fact that he's going to completely fuck over women, retirees, people of color, working families, college students, the military, our allies, public education, fuel prices, immigrants, and our food supply... ...it would be fun to watch Trump completely fuck himself for 4 years.
- One of the best things about President Biden issuing a pardon to his son is the incessant pearl clutching from the right. Hypocrisy, thy name is Republican Party.
- The beauty of a sunrise in Florida.
- The beauty of a sunrise in West Virginia.
- In 2022, undocumented immigrants paid $46.8 billion in federal taxes, $29.3 billion in state and local taxes, $22.6 billion to Social Security and $5.7 billion to Medicare. None of which they receive back. Republicans want to spend $315 billion to deport them. Fucking idiots.
- "Gays are not interested in making other people gay...but homophobes are interested in making others homophobic." -- Stephen Fry
- But her emails! Oh, and the price of eggs.
- Alpha Male - (noun) 1. extremely small penis, unable to maintain meaningful relationships 2. drives obnoxiously tall pickup trucks, normally associated with definition #1 3. 8th grade education 4. holds gun racks, Confederate flags, wallets with chains, and hunting dogs in high regard
- A picture of my mother standing beside her 7th birthday cake, which is sitting on a table my grandfather made. And the picture is sitting on that very same table.
- So educated black women achieve success because they slept their way to the top, but unqualified white men achieve success because they're white...and racist. Welcome back to the 50s.
- Matt Gaetz withdrew from consideration as Trump's AG. If only his father had done the same with his mother, dozens of teenaged girls and millions of Americans would be better off.
- So Republicans raised ten kinds of hell about where Obama was born but remain silent on Matt Gaetz' sexual improprieties? Hypocrisy, thy name is the Republican Party.
- Good morning, BlueSky. Are we done with this dystopian cluster of a Republican administration yet? We're not? Fuck....
- Karma's a bitch, Elon.
- As a liberal Democrat, I'm biased...but why is every person on the list of damned dumbest politicians of all time a Republican? It certainly explains why the uneducated, unwashed masses always vote for them.
- When my daughter came out late in life as gay, I saw how happy she was, finally living in her own skin. This made me both proud and happy. I'll never understand how parents can give up on their own children for finally being themselves. I love you, Punkin. #loveislove
- All you need is love.
- What I wouldn't give to sleep this soundly.
- In 2012, Wyoming passed a Republican sponsored bill allowing people to make their own health care decisions, in an attempt to overturn Obamacare. A federal judge just overturned Wyoming's strict anti-abortion laws, using the Republican 2012 bill against Republicans. Hell, yes!
- For three consecutive Presidential elections Trump has lost the popular vote, and yet he's going to be a two term President. Our election process is extremely fucked up. Abolish the Electoral College and let Americans actually elect the representatives they want.
- Trump has named Lorena Bobbitt as men's health czar in charge of male reproductive rights.
- The douchebag of the day award goes to Randy Quaid.
- For a man who disavowed being a Nazi sympathizer, he sure has brought all of the Nazis out of their basements.
- Apparently, making America great again involves screwing over the underprivileged, immigrants, women, LGBTQ brothers and sisters, military leaders and retirees. What it apparently also involves is allowing world tyrants to take over America and giving tax breaks to the wealthiest 1%.
- As a certified basketball official, I can make two undeniable statements: 1) The younger the child participating is, the more childish the parents become during the contest. and 2) The more money an athlete makes, the more childish the athlete becomes during the contest.
- Stage life. There's nothing like it.
- I'm very lucky. I only care about one NFL team. I'm a huge fan. Which team, you ask? Whichever team is playing the Kansas City Chiefs.
- We can't elect a female President...women are too emotional.
- Are you going to let a difference of opinion over politics end a friendship? I'd never lose a friend over a difference of opinion, politics or otherwise...but I'll cut ties with anyone over a difference in morality.
- I rolled a joint yesterday. First time in quite a while. Of course, it was in my ankle. I'm old.
- Trump supporters don't care if he runs them into the poor house, as long as liberals, people of color, the gay and lesbian community, and women in general all get fucked along with them. They hate half of Americans more than they actually love America.
- Words can't describe how much I love my daughter Nichole. (She wears glasses, just like her father.) She and her wonderful wife Nikki are two of the happiest people I know.
- I'm for anything that chaps a fascist's ass. Three cheers for BlueSky.
