I hope legacy media covers the connection between last night's memecoin dinner and this morning's social media tariff threats. He's manipulating the stock market.

When I go out to see my 3 chickens, I imitate their noises. I also imitate the crows, cardinals, mocking birds, etc. that are flying around. I meow at the cat. I bark back at the dogs in the neighbors' yards. And I wonder if my chicks think: "How many languages does she speak, anyway?!?!"

For those of us in America......that actually READ some of the books they want destroyed......

Corporate media: Mouse? or chicken?

What begins with F and ends with CK? They're eating the cars! They're eating the data! They're using stolen and leaked data as part of their software! And we ought to be a lot angrier about this than we seem to be. www.404media.co/license-plat...

Here is a specific thing you can do to fight Trump's politicization of public services open.substack.com/pub/donmoyni...

Donald Trump wants to be the Pope, but he’s the poop. 💩 Hand drawn by me, a human, in Procreate. Support human artists 🧑‍🎨

If it fits, I … hang over the pieces of me that don’t actually fit any more because my life is indolence and treats.

North Korea will move its troops into the occupied territories of Ukraine to conduct military operations against the Ukrainian armed forces, according to Russian media. Another escalation of the axis of evil. Total escalations: 9,786 Total EU escalations: 0

He couldn’t even run a charity without breaking the law—Now he believes he’s in charge of the Supreme Court, Congress, our rights, and the U.S. justice system. Who’s going to stop him?!

💥 Dems have finally figured out that they need to take advantage of the vacuum GOP Reps left because they’re too damn cowardly to hold Town Halls! If you have questions or know folks who are disallusioned w/ their GOP Rep, share these upcoming DEM Town Halls! More dates to be added. Link below…

Musk claims Social Security is a "gigantic magnet to attract illegal immigrants." In fact, immigrants here illegally do not collect Social Security. But they pay $25.7 billion a year into it, a recent study found, so these undocumented workers are actually subsidizing Americans.

It used to be that everybody got the Black Death. And once you got it, you never got it again. Right, Bobby?

Has anyone told drumpf how many of Amazon’s products are made in China? Do you think he’ll still have Jeff Bezos’ $upport after the tariffs kick in?

The perfect metaphor for what the Supreme Court did to this country with Citizens United v. FEC.

Labor unions: aggregate workers = 1 boss many aggregates = 1 oligarch all workers united > the 1% You have power. Organize.

youtu.be/QSa52TR9tCA?... A conservative voice who makes excellent sense.

I don’t exactly mind being “followed” by a bunch of guys with 2 first names and 4 photos, 1 military. But I don’t really want a DM relationship, so if I don’t respond it’s because I want you to fuck off.

H/t to @janisian.bsky.social on Facebook!

Yes please: will somebody ask? Or are they all ready for parents to show up on the doorstep asking for room and board?
