Straighten your spine
Speak & live your truth

Anyone else ever become like too aware of the effects of gravity and everything either gets really fascinating for a second or terrifying, there is no in between? No, just me? Cool.

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

Well today is day one.
1,459 days to go.
I will be counting down each day.
Hope democracy survives.
One day at a time.

Murphy: "This is a constitutional crisis that we are in today. Let's call it what it is."

As a father of five kids, I totally agree with this evergreen post.

Does the new deal w Colombia address this at all ?

I’ll never get over that all of this was avoidable and our kids could’ve had a better future had voters just made the obviously rational choice in November. It’s water under the bridge now. But what the fuck, people.

Somebody yelled at me for posting about Ganymede instead of /the state of things/ last night.

I know we’re (almost) all on the same page here, but a Bluesky without cute cats, science facts, and dumb jokes would be bad for everyone.

We keep hearing about masculinity from the Zuckerbergs of the world-- this woman has shown more courage in this 60-second clip than any of the tech billionaires have shown in recent memory as they grovel at Trump's feet.

Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde

Hero.

As this is "Day Two," I'm going to check to see if there are no longer taxes on tips, the border has been sealed, and the war in Ukraine is over. 👀

Bishop Tells Trump to ‘Have Mercy’ on Immigrants and Gay Children The direct appeal to President Trump at the start of the first full day of his presidency was a remarkable moment at a National Cathedral event that has not historically been political.

The bishop at President Trump’s inaugural prayer service implored him to “have mercy” on gay, lesbian and transgender children, as well as undocumented immigrants.

“I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now,” asked Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde.

LMAO the Village People's "YMCA" performance at Trump's inaugural ball went so far off the rails the band basically had to stop playing

EO: "the immutable biological reality of sex"

Biological reality:

Trump Grants Broad Clemency to Jan. 6 Rioters The extraordinary pardons and commutations extended to those who committed both violent and nonviolent crimes on Jan. 6, including assaulting police officers and seditious conspiracy.

President Trump's move to pardon nearly all of the 1,600 rioters charged with storming the Capitol on Jan. 6 would effectively undo years of efforts by federal investigators to seek accountability for the mob assault on the peaceful transfer of power after Trump's loss in the 2020 election.

There is a reason TikTok is so good at figuring out what you want to see, and why it’s better than everything else: it’s a weapon, and the best weapon is one you don’t know exists, or worse, one you think you can’t live without

Shoutout to people doing “Dry January,” this year because, nope…

Feeling like this today…

REPORTER: How confident are you that you can keep the ceasefire in Gaza?

TRUMP: I'm not confident. That's not our war. It's their war ... Gaza is interesting. It's a phenomenal location.

Democracy died today.

The leaders of our country handed it over to Donald Trump and watched it crumble with smiles on their faces.

I’m beyond sickened.

I was wrong to trust that they would take action. I take full responsibility for believing otherwise.

"Over the past eight years, I have been tested and challenged MORE THAN ANY PRESIDENT in our 250-year history..."

What in the fuck is this persecution complex?

To call liberals soft and then have this sort of audacious victim mentality is WILD to me.

ANY?💀

Giving major Joe Smith vibes iykyk lol

Trump promising that he'll
"forge a society that is color-blind and merit-based"
while also saying he is an example of the impossible being possible, in the US, is a sad and blatant display of his ignorance regarding the concept of privilege(+equity vs equality).
Not surprised but still disturbing.

Fuck. This is so fucking stupid.

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

um

I never really used Twitter or other platforms like it.
There is something about this type of social media that feels so much more awkward or perhaps vulnerable imo.
I think part of it is on other apps, the main focus is photos/videos and the caption isn't as important so it's easier to hide...?

Haaaawwwt
