#ProudBlue #Voices4Victory Every. Single. Word. I’m saddened to say this is the truth we’re facing now.

I have been a lawyer since 1989. I don’t understand how the “best and brightest” lawyers did not see this coming. Who would hire a law firm that was so ignorant of the law that they refused to fight to protect the themselves, when it was clear they would win. They look like weak losers.

The single biggest factor influencing academic success of children is if their parents read to them. I cannot even comprehend the ignorance of feeling that reading to your young children is boring. It doesn’t even require effort it was the high point of my day as a young dad.

👀 "When faced with 46% tariffs from Trump, Vietnam fast-tracked a $1.5 billion Trump golf resort. Ignoring its own laws, Vietnam rubber stamped the project. Just 3 mths after paperwork was filed — and a few days after Trump’s trade negotiator met w/ Vietnam’s trade minister — groundbreaking began."

Why aren’t these people suing the government for damages?

You guys have to check out USAFacts. The Turd Reich’s attack on the truth is relentless so pushing back with VERIFIABLE FACTS is more important than ever. It’s a non-partisan, non-profit resource for ACTUAL f’ng data. I’ve been using to research for much of my content. 👇 usafacts.org/signup/

Trump says 'nothing' will happen during Ukraine peace talks as Putin skips out - NBC News. I thought this war would be over on day one. I also thought China would pay the tariffs and Mexico would pay for the wall and inflation would drop…and… So many lies and so many gullible idiots.

Last night the internet stopped working so I spent a few hours with my family, they seem like good people.

So I am a recovering Catholic and not a Bible thumper, but, “whatsoever you have done to the least of my brothers, that you’ve done unto me”, shows the deep level of hypocrisy of the “Christian” right.

The nature cure: how time outdoors transforms our memory, imagination and logic. Without engaging with natural environments, our brains cease to work well. Exposure to nature isn’t a luxury – it’s a necessity. Includes a quote by @jamesgilbertmr.bsky.social

Good job, buddy! You finally caught up to the rest us from 3yrs ago. Putin doesn’t want peace. You’re his puppet, not friend, & you’re not smart enough (or at all) to think you can “deal” with him even if you’re both despicable criminals. #SlavaUkraini #MomSky apnews.com/article/russ...

We confess to having waged a woke war in the cause of a kinder, more diverse, more compassionate nation where access to education, care, opportunity, and dignity is the right of every human being—and the Right has been largely victorious against us. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/congratula...

Since some in govt and the GOP seem to have forgotten how a war works, here’s a reminder. For a defending nation to win, they just have to….. wait for it…. Keep on defending. Ukraine is winner and Russia is destroying its youth Basic math

Since the beginning I’ve said that Elon and his DOGE tech bros know the real value in pillaging these federal agencies is in the data, but not to raid your bank accounts. It’s to influence the outcome of our elections.

Hey, do you know what you call a guy who never admits a mistake, who becomes President of the United States by never admitting a mistake, who then convinces his entire presidential administration to never admit—let alone correct—any mistake, leading to innocents getting life sentences? A sociopath.

To this day I do not understand why the conservative Federalist Society calls itself the Federalist Society. The Federalist were the liberals/Progressives of the day. Even right wing lawyers are stupid.

Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

What a putz.

Yesterday Mark Carney was told, “Mr Carney, there’s a genocide in Palestine”. “I’m aware,” Carney told the protester, “That’s why we have an arms embargo.” This has really, really upset Benjamin Netanyahu, so don't RT unless you hate him.

I just got back from a couple days in Montreal and the city is wonderful but it's a little weird being around unarmed citizens with healthcare who understand three syllable words.

“Special kind of stupid.”

I’m not sure how much more of this “stable genius” I can take. Helplessly watching him destroy America is soul crushing.

As bad as the economic meltdown is, this is worse. This is treason.

Brutal WSJ cover

Futures are down 5% tonight. This is now a bear market. It takes a special kind of moron to destroy the US economy for no apparent reason.
