NYC. Bluesky gives me the Social Media fix I’ve weaned myself off of. Hope I don’t get addicted to this…

Trump loves promising stuff that will never happen. (Infrastructure Week.) My favorite sad story is that big book with filled with empty blank pages that was supposed to his big health care plan to replace the ACA. Such an f**g fraud, like everything else.

I assume Trump's plan is to tell Putin: "It's all yours!"

If you're so concerned about the stakes of this election you could just... spend the next four months writing about the stakes of this election. A constant drip of articles calling the Democratic nominee unfit is also not a great strategy for winning!

It’s good to vent. But we have to focus and channel our energy towards November. All this infighting and squabbling is a gift to the Trump campaign. I still believe in the America that rejected Trump in Nov. 2020. They will reject Trump again in November. Strike first. Strike Hard. No Mercy!

"Voters have expressed concern about his age as well, but not to the same degree as Mr. Biden's." I wonder why that could be! Could what news outlets talk about have anything to do with it? I guess there's no way to know!🙃

Trump's telling his MAGA supporters he will be their retribution-- So maybe Joe needs to do onto others before they do onto you.

Trump gets pissed off at a country because they won’t help him with his election for a third term. In a fit of rage, he nukes them. “Hey, I have immunity! I’m acting in an official capacity!”

With the stated intent to engage in a massive deportation roundup, the option to use the Insurrection Act, and SCOTUS-bestowed immunity, I think it's worth noting how fast the total Trump takeover will occur. Weeks. That's it.

There is no choice left but except publicly criticizing the Supreme Court at this point. Playing nice gets nowhere. Trump constantly attacks the judicial system —- “Obama Judges blah blah” let’s call out the “Trump Judges.”

Biggest campaign story ever: using a private email server that could hold top secrets but doesn’t and could be breached but wasn’t. Tiny story: stealing top secrets. Hiding them in a bathroom. Taking them to NJ. Showing them to foreigners. Meeting with foreign governments.

I hope the Supreme Court Justices had a chance to watch Alex Garland’s “Civil War”. Although Alito and Thomas probably supported the fictional President in the film.

I really hate the design of strip malls where cars are parked and pointed directly in front of store fronts. It is so common to hear to about folks accelerating - reversing inadvertently. In this case, the drunk driver crossed a road from another lot. Put bollards!

Giving Cheeto another 4 years means re-emboldening his rabid followers to be openly racist. How many videos have we seen of folks harassing workers at deli’s? Or Attacking Asians because of the “Chyna Virus”? Law and Order rings hollow when the Orange Man puts a target on all our backs.
