When you have a President who doesn’t respect the rule of law, and who encourages his supporters toward violence, it’s sadly not surprising to see tragic outcomes like in Minnesota today. He and his sycophants will of course do nothing to help the situation

Even our little town of 20,000 people is having a #NoKings protest today. Hoping to swing by later and meet some great likeminded people 🥰

Fingers crossed for heavy rain in DC today 🤞

War is bad.

@kylierobison.com thanks for the reminder to follow you here!

I’m old enough to remember when we used to prioritize going after criminals, not rounding up undocumented folks while wearing military gear. It’s just shameful and wrong. There is no defense of the actions being taken. And these wannabe commandos are going to end up hurting someone at this rate 😞

Why do these agents need masks and flak jackets to raid a nail salon? Are they afraid someone will threaten them with a pedicure?

National Guard troops would do well to remember they are American citizens who swore an oath to the U.S. Constitution, not to an orange ogre. If things get out of hand today, history (and the law) will judge you individually for not doing the right thing

Really shocked that an admin filled with podcasters, social media influencers, reality TV participants, indicted felons, crypto bros, drunks, Fox hosts, drug addicts, weirdos, and unqualified ass kissing toadies can’t keep their shit together for 24 consecutive hours.

Love you @aoc.bsky.social and your reaction to the Big Beautiful Feud was awesome 🥰

Merry Christmas everyone 🥰

You have the right your religion, just like i have the right to not have it. See how that works?

Things seem to be happening roughly on the schedule we all said they would

It was a lightbulb moment when I realized a person being knowledgeable about a particular topic does not mean they’re intelligent Knowing details about esoteric C++ libraries doesn’t prevent someone from having the dumbest opinions on the planet.

“Yesterday, as everybody knows, [was the] first day of hurricane season,” Richardson said. “I didn’t realize it was a season.” When you’re not serious about government, this is the result.

The point of college is learning how to think, also living independently and building life long experiences and friendships. Not just transactional skills for employment. Too many on that other site don’t seem to realize this distinction and are too quick to call it dead

Many folks are willing to take less evidence to believe in a mystical man living on a throne in the sky than for various proven scientific fact

Never say never, not any more 🇬🇧

Twitter is working just fine. Ever since they fired everyone there have been no outages and everything is working great!

They’re not “upgrading” that bribe from Qatar. They’re going to say it’s “too expensive” and that T**** can’t do that to taxpayers, so he will forgo upgrades. Then he’ll take the free jet when he leaves office. Wake up people. The grift is as transparent as it appears.

Back in Beantown after a quick hop across the pond. It was bittersweet coming back via DC tonight. For 4 years (2017-2021) I avoided that town completely, having paid a visit to the National Archives at the end of 2016 to pay my respects to the Constitution in person before the Orange Monster came

America is in its “bread & circuses” phase except there isn’t any free bread, just tax cuts for the rich and the circus is gleefully watching undocumented people get deported.

Repugnant, disgusting, and cheap apple.news/AjHdWHyq8Ram...

No one gives someone a $400 million dollar jet for free without expecting anything in return. Be serious.

Ten years ago I participated in an industry event for which I was sent a “thank you” gift afterwards. A branded gym bag. With a brand new iPad inside. I contacted the vendor and told them they made a mistake and must have “accidentally” included this obvious bribe. I then returned it to them.

So we all remembered not to get too distracted with the Qatar “gift” right? It was timed to distract us from the tariffs and economic news for a few days and get us liberals all wound up about something else. Let’s pay attention.

I’m sure this won’t be abused. We can definitely trust this Administration with all of our personal data with no fear they will do something heinous with it

Drunken idiot Fox Propagandist Jeanine Pirro was just appointed as interim US attorney for Washington DC. It gets trashier by the day, there’s no bottom.

Happy Dear Leader Friday to everyone! Today we are fortunate that his holiness chooses to bless us with his bountiful tariffs! We shall sing and praise his likeness on our walls!

You’re missing one thing: most of his nutjobs think they’re “Christian” or “good people” and yet would call for the immediate imprisonment and removal of Jesus for being a socialist

Time to travel with one of these again. In case any official needs a free copy in order to understand the concept of the United States Constitution they swore an oath to defend

The Orange Ogre dismissed the acting head of FEMA. Here’s my sad prediction: they’ll disband this agency, then some avoidable tragedy will befall a red state and be totally FUBAR. Only then will his sycophants start to think that maybe they made a mistake. Nah, they’ll blame Biden somehow.

That means empty shelves, an economic slowdown, and layoffs, actually.
