We live in a funny world: just making the most of it, 1 day at a time. Tweeter. Liberaler. A frog slowly cooking in Musks cauldron: it’s cooler on BlueSky now.

What an absolute disgrace! To mock people who are sacrificing their lives to defend their country, their children, their freedom.

Elon Musk ridicules Zelensky for saying the US can't force Ukraine to the negotiating table. You notice Musk doesn't claim to be able to make Putin do anything. Standing up to Zelensky, how brave.

When Kemi Badenoch had the power to actually help British farmers as Trade Secretary, she instead chose to throw them under the bus when backing the Australia and New Zealand trade deals. Farmers need and deserve genuine allies.

Soooo….the GOP is planning to throw thousands of vets off of VA health care (while also repealing the ACA), and slashing VA benefits and pensions. To my fellow vets, what’s your plan when that happens?

Russia is currently attacking the Ukrainian held Kursk region with a size Army equivalent to roughly the size of the UK’s total active service personnel. With North Koreans in that mix! Thoughts?

Remember when MAGA was so worried about national security that they even obsessed about how emails were handled?
