Just a message from Big Bird and friends! #twinninghusbands

AI has infiltrated education, and according to Lewis Black, we’re all f**ked

I'm not sure who turned my words into a meme, and included U.S. citizens (most of whom do not want a new war!), but I appreciate how many people are connecting with it. May all of us, in all of our different situations, somehow help bring the justice this world so desperately needs. 💔

#AI Worth looking at this abstract if nothing else. www.media.mit.edu/publications...

Impeach Trump and stop the illegal violation of the Constitution! 86 47+

Oh, no. Please, please, please let him go. Maybe he can wander around for 40 years or so, like the Moses he's replacing.

It's getting easier to match up the current Nazis with those of the Third Reich. Trump => Hitler Miller => Goering Noem => Himmler RFK Jr. => Eichmann What others? 86 47+

They have learned well from their Nazi forerunners. These are not detention centers, let's call them what they are: concentration camps. 86 47+

Unfortunately, it's not just Fox. There are so few "news" media that actually broadcast the news. News is NOT entertainment.

Any difference? This is what happens if we let the liars and criminals in the administration win. 86 47+

Nothin but the facts

Good for Terry Moran. ABC News caves in to the Orange Plague. 86 47+

US is like two people having a kfight. One brings a gun and the other says that's against the rules. The first shoots and wins. The administration doesn't play by the rule of law and doesn't care. The Supreme Court is in their pocket. It's time to break the rules. Innocent lives depend on it. 86 47+

From Pope Francis’s autobiography: “Promises based on fear, mainly the fear of other people, are the usual theme of populist movements, and they mark the beginning of dictatorships and wars.”

Republicans know there's no such thing as bad publicity. News media plays along. The number of times "Trump" appears on news homepages today: Aljazeera: 2 Reuters: 5 OAN: 5 NBC: 6 NPR: 8 Guardian: 9 APNews: 10 NYTimes: 11 CNN: 13 CBS: 13 ABC: 19 NewsMax: 19 MSNBC: 30 FoxNews: 32

Holy Mike Johnson thinks he's the new Moses and prays for the passing of a bill hurting the poor and giving power to oligarchs. In actuality, he is the new Jezebel who worships the new orange-haired Baal. 86 47+

DJT posted another rant about tne home countries of some of Harvard's international students are "not at all friendly to the United States." Well, Donny, neither are you or your cronies. You're a convicted felon and rapist. Time to deport you, insanity is not an excuse. 86 47+

The house passed the BS bill with a a clause: “the authority of federal courts to hold government officials in contempt when they violate court orders.” If the senate passes it, the US is dead. 86 47+

I haven't seen anything from Trump or his administration about the deaths and damage of the recent tornados. Just shows you how much they really care about the people. 86 47

Trump just doesn't get that the free world is sick of him and his administration. But, then again, Trump just doesn't get most things. He's a dottering old fool who seems to just know how to say "I don't know anything about that." He thinks it makes him blameless. 86 47

It seems like the time for a massive flood of "8647" memes, posts, posters, ... Need to be flooding the social networks to the point that the media cannot just hide them or post the BS that the far right feeds them in order to keep themselves in front of everyone and push out the real new.

Hey, Laura Loomer. If you can't say anything nice, shut your pie hole! The silence will be music to everyone's ears. You are insignificant; even your orange turd of a god is distancing himself from you. cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thu...

This is awesome.

During Biden's term, the media focused on Trump, MAGA, and misinformation. The government went about it's business, but was generally out of the headlines. Now, the headlines are all about Trump etc. The opposition needs to learn quickly how to take control of the media. There's no bad publicity.

You don't use the Marquess of Queensberry rules against a street thug. You tear into them with everything you've got. The same with DJT and his cronies. Fight back: demonstrate, call or visit your representatives, peaceful civil disobedience, boycott, vote. Get involved. You have the power.

www.politico.com/news/2025/04... Pay attention to who gets into this club and, if you buy anything or use a service of their companies, boycott them. You have to hit them where it hurts.

What he said!

I danced for joy when Pope Francis was elected. I mourn his passing, but with hope, his favorite word. I hope for a new pope wiho will continue the inclusion, humility, compassion, and joy that Francis lived.

They understood this 800+ years ago.

As an expat who votes in NJ, I am proud of all the people standing up to authoritarianism. Keep up the good work. I send to my Congressman weekly. He probably never sees it, but I won't be silenced.

Thank you Senator Booker. I may live in Ecuador as an expat now, but I’m a Jersey boy. Your honesty, compassion, and humility do us proud, which is more than I can say about my congressman, Chris Smith. God bless you.

Go Cory go! And when you can go no more, let another brave one take the baton and continue until the Senate agrees to stand for justice for all.
