larryhochman.bsky.social"When your identity is your ideology, congratulations...you've officially screwed yourself. Because now it's not just an idea. Now it's you. And when the idea gets challenged, you don't hear disagreement. You hear an attack. So what do you do? You build a bubble..." George Carlin (Pre-MAGA)
Deb
debfly.bsky.socialThe released 911 call notes unconscious, CPR in progress. He’s high risk. Advanced age/repeated falls needs wheelchair/televised ‘events’ ?seizure or TIA. when CPR is successful in an aged medically fragile patient, there’s often complications-fx ribs, then pneumonia, CNS damage… Somethings up….
Larry Hochman
larryhochman.bsky.socialIf Graham Platner has a shred of integrity, he will fall off the radar and never be interviewed again. It's the only thing he can do that is constructive. Democrats can hold him to the same standard they hold MAGA felons and recidivists. The first MAGA who says anything gets what they deserve.
Kelly Sutton (aka IglooChik)🐧
igloochik.bsky.socialLook up Alrernet's article for reference, any other rumors out there that McConnell is brain dead and they're going to try to hide it for months until we're over the midterms? I think NOT. 🙄 We seriously need to back candidates who think term limits are necessary, and perhaps a maximum age limit.

debfly.bsky.socialOnce a creep always a creep! What’s with Trump & little girls? In small towns across the US, parents teach their children which house to never trick-or-treat at… I imagine him being the guy with a van with only 2 side door… He has no respect & no dignity for anyone especially little girls & women

igloochik.bsky.socialSo the military has been politicized under Trump and Hegseth, & that's pushing us even closer to having him use the military to stop people from voting or to keep him ultimately from leaving at the end of this term. This probably isn't going to end well unless senators on both sides stop it now.
Trumps new SAVE Act Push Falters The latest effort to tie the SAVE Act to the next funding bill is already losing momentum. Senate Republicans say they won’t take it up, and House leaders are resisting a shutdown fight. With no viable path forward, this attempt is stalling again.

eviebauer727.bsky.socialShit is officially hitting the fan now. I knew Trump would find a way to screw this all up. JHC #USMNT #WorldCup2026 “BELGIUM are ready to ask sport’s ultimate court to BOOT the USA out of the World Cup if they lose to a team including Folarin Balogun on Tuesday.” www.the-sun.com/sport/166455...
Jennifer Shin - WTAF
jennifershin.bsky.socialI think Robert Reich is spot on with his analysis. Worth reading! "Trump himself has no ideology, of course. He doesn’t give a fig about capitalism, and he’s not worried about communism or socialism. He’s a fanatical practitioner of narcissism, of the especially malignant variety."
Human Rights Index 💙
humanrightsindex.bsky.socialThe NATO summit starts tomorrow. For months, the U.S. has been pushing European countries to spend more on defence. One day before the summit, leaks from American intelligence claim Russia is about to invade Poland. If you don't find that timing scammy, well, that's your choice.

eviebauer727.bsky.socialTrump threatened ref too. 'HORRIBLE CALL' Trump admits asking Fifa boss for Balogun ban review despite not knowing what red card meant as Belgium threatens to sue ‘Trump slammed the referee Raphael Claus, of Brazil, and warned to check his “suspect” past.’ www.the-sun.com/sport/166438...
Human Rights Index 💙
humanrightsindex.bsky.socialIn two weeks: U.S. and Japan held major military exercises Australia and Vanuatu signed a deal blocking foreign military bases. Australia and Fiji signed a mutual defence treaty. Then today China launched a ballistic missile from a submarine. And suddenly that is the unacceptable provocation.

eviebauer727.bsky.social#WorldCup2026 FIFA dismisses Belgium's appeal, clears Folarin Balogun to play for USMNT vs. Belgium “FIFA’s appeals committee ruled Belgium’s request inadmissible because the Royal Belgian Football Association was not considered a party to the disciplinary proceedings.” www.on3.com/pro/news/fif...

igloochik.bsky.socialThese people seem hell-bent on wanting to indoctrinate our youth. They are getting thrown out of high schools with the rejection of the propaganda through Turning Point USA, and now certain colleges want to require students to take these propaganda courses. They’re desperate.
Larry Hochman
larryhochman.bsky.socialI talked with a teenager when I was in Florida. Told her I live in Michigan. She heard of it but couldn't even begin to place it on a map. This is someone who does well in school. Loving, safe supportive homelife. If we don't take our education seriously, we're just cogs in someone's machine.
Larry Hochman
larryhochman.bsky.socialI consider myself a good person. And I do not believe in any deity. And I'm tired of those who say belief is required to be a good person. Especially when the behaviors of the deities put in front of us are things we'd reprimand our kids for, and those who do believe are behaving terribly.
Doug Pickard
trackerdoug.bsky.socialThe next two years are essentially irrelevant. Congress will be slamming the brakes on everything his fragile mind can dreams while he snoozes through the changes coming. Change has already begun. Most of Americans want a functioning, efficient, and fair administrative government.
Human Rights Index 💙
humanrightsindex.bsky.socialIf your hatred of Russia and Putin turns you into a warmongering troll, the media has achieved its goal. These are not the founding principles of Europe. We're not Americans. Putin is a war criminal fact, but mirroring him is exactly what he wants you to do.
