What a huge red flag that Hegseth refused to meet with Democratic Senators prior to his confirmation hearing.

Sen. Slotkin asking Hegseth if there is ever an illegal order that could come from the Commander-in-Chief & if he’d refuse to comply, and Hegseth refuses to answer the question.

Sen. Kelly asks Hegseth such a great question: If all of these allegations are just anonymous smears & not true, then how can Hegseth claim that he’s overcome such big obstacles to become the man he claims to now be? It can’t be both.

Hegseth’s plan for the military recruitment issues: “Trump is the president”. What a detailed proposal.

The combined net worth of America's twelve wealthiest people passed $2 trillion last year. 12 people. $2 trillion. Meanwhile, U.S. homelessness increased 18% in 2024. Our problem isn’t an issue of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding wealth inequality.

Saw a Reddit thread of people talking about how “drag queens and LGBT abuse children” and their only evidence was “they’re more likely to be abused as children so that makes them more likely to abuse as adults”. Braindead reasoning.

I can always tell when the dinosaurs are fake in movies

Pretty wild that Elon’s debut as president elect was to strip funding for pediatric cancer research from the spending bill, only to watch the Senate have to pass it as a standalone bill. His first move was to fuck over kids with cancer.

Every time I see criticism of social programs, I’m reminded of this article. www.thenation.com/article/arch...

....and another thing.

“It's amazing how pollution has dropped in #Paris in 15 years. @annehidalgo.bsky.social has filled the city with bike-lanes & not only has she reduced pollution by 40% but she’s also been re-elected.” Trading car space for green space, bike space, kid space…trading pollution for people. Good trade.

Luigi Magione has terrorist charges against him. Terrorism - Intending to intimidate or coerce a civilian population. Intimidate a unite of government or government policies by violence and murder. I feel that definition applies much more to CEOs of healthcare companies.

Rewatching the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy, and it is every bit as good as you remember.

I hate trying to grocery shop for snacks. As soon as I step into the store, all concepts of snacks are foreign to me.

I’m so tired already of the talks about Biden pardoning Hunter. Firstly, he shouldn’t have been jailed anyway. Secondly, any father would have done the same. Anyone who says Trump wouldn’t do it for Jr. is insane. He’s done worse for less. Let Hunter be free.

Just finished Words of Radiance by Brandon Sanderson. Starting Oathbringer now. #stormlightarchive #sadeasdeservedit

A reminder #itwasntalandslide

There it is

Korea must’ve known I was missing Alaska and brought a bit to me.

This is a real team effort, fellow patriots. 🇺🇸

Democrats had a great message on Project 2025. It was so deeply unpopular that Trump had to deny any connection. Now that Trump has said he plans to hire key figures from Project 2025 for his administration, Democrats need to sound the alarm. It will still be unpopular.

Other corvids are nice too. 🪶

Finished the first four books in the Murderbot series. Gonna buy the rest and in the mean time move onto reading the rest of The Stormlight Archive.

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election. Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control

Lee: When Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was up for confirmation or when VP Harris was added to the ticket, they called them DEI hires. They want you to believe that Harvard graduate with over 20 years of experience is not qualified but Fox personality is qualified to run the DOD
