10 years ago, the Supreme Court ruled that marriage between any two consenting adults was legal, as it should be. And ever since, rwhite wingers have been whining that it makes their third marriage to their significantly younger former mistress less valuable.

I'm excited to see a young, left of center immigrant winning the primary for mayor of New York. Zohran Mamdani should give hope to everyone tired of the status quo in US politics.

As the world continues to burn, I'm planning a trip to the Bay Area in CA so my daughter can check out Berkeley near the end of August, and I'm flying solo to Minneapolis for a long Labor Day weekend. Feel free to offer trip advice for either, or reach out about actually meeting the famed Phil.

The orange taco claims that there is a ceasefire between Iran and Israel, which is news to both parties, since Iran is still firing missiles at Israel at this moment.

While everyone is waiting for Iran's real response, the Unsupreme Court quietly ruled that this administration can continue sending people to foreign gulags without any actual due process!

While the orange taco gets the US involved in another messy Middle Eastern war, after destroying the economy, after destroying the US government, and after alienating all of our allies, China must be absolutely dancing with happiness right now.

Hey everyone who couldn't vote for Ms. Harris because of "Genocide Joe," or because you were afraid that she would get us involved in a Middle Eastern war, how is that working out for you? Gaza was saved, and peace reigns throughout the world, right?

No jokes or snark today. The US unilaterally and illegally bombed another nation without even notifying Congress, let alone getting approval, and now billions will be spent and lives will be lost, all because a small group of assholes is insecure that a black man negotiated a deal

Great, the US just carried out an entirely unprompted military attack on a foreign nation that we are not at war with, nor had a direct conflict with, all because the president wants to help a fellow fascist cover his genocide in Palestine.

One of the biggest problems in the US and other democracies for the past several decades is the willingness to cater to the far rwhite under the guise of political freedom, when in reality catering to fascists and white supremacists erodes both freedom and democracy for all.

Oh, nothing big, just the president considering dropping nuclear weapons on Iran, a country we're not even involved with in any sort of conflict at the moment.

It's hilarious and sad that an orange racist who has never worked a day in his life decided to whine about other people having too many days off on the day designated to celebrate the end of chattel slavery in the US.

Iran hit an Israeli hospital, which is abhorrent and should be punished during war crimes trials. Israel has vowed massive retaliation, which is almost understandable, except they literally bombed a foreign run hospital in Gaza this month, and blamed all the innocent victims for being in a hospital.

Today is the day we're supposed to celebrate the permanent and final end of slavery in the US, which is why MAGAts hate today. It's also not entirely true, because slavery of anyone incarcerated is still legal, and federal courts have ruled that women are breeding slaves.

Just thinking back to yesterday, and I really want to know if the person who decided to fill the urinal with used Slurpee cups at the park I had my baseball game is doing okay right now.

I'm so excited that Israel is ordering the US into another messy Middle Eastern war which will only serve to destabilize the world and increase China's power.

In another fun development, we're now having unmarked "agents" arrest political opponents with no warrant or justification, and they're doing it right in front of cameras and news crews.

While the IDF and US divert everyone's attention to the unnecessary war in Iran, don't forget that Gaza, the West Bank, and Ukraine are still under assault from colonial invaders determined to wipe out the current population.

The orange taco decided to bail on the G7 early after everyone else made it very clear they didn't want him there. This should give him more time to sell shitty phones full of spyware to gullible morons.

In case you missed it, the current administration approved the purchase of US Steel by the Japanese company Nippon Steel, on the contingency that the US government will have partial control of the company. That's funny, I thought MAGAts believed government involvement in business was "communism."

I'm just trying to keep track of what armed conflict has broken out today under the watch of the "president" who assured us that he would end all wars and bring peace to the entire world on his first day in office.

I guess the US being at war with ourselves was a great opportunity and cover for Israel to begin their war on Iran.

Cool, cool, we've reached the point where the Homeland Insecurity Secretary has a sitting member of Congress tackled, bound, and forcibly removed from a press conference.

People need to stop pretending like civil rights were won exclusively through nonviolent protests, or that the value of a protest is diminished just because a few people throw rocks or break some windows.

Pay attention to the politicians and businesses bowing or ceding anything to the orange taco, and don't let them forget in the future. Anyone who refuses to oppose fascism now can't be trusted to protect you later.

The "riots" in LA are great cover for the fucked up tariffs, the US being outmaneuvered by every foreign nation, illegally imprisoning thousands of people, trying to start wars everywhere, the continued genocide in Palestine, and the whole thing about orange taco being on the Epstein client list.

I'm sure sending 700 Marines to LA is just going to smooth everything out, and make everyone around the country relax, and in no way will this dramatically escalate anything...

Calling the National Guard out to "assist" with halting the protests in LA has worked sooooo well.

Well, apparently things are going super well with ICE's attempt to kidnap people in LA, and everyone is so happy, that the orange taco has ordered the national guard to escalate the celebration. Martial law is the first step towards the fascist military takeover.

In case you missed it, the Unsupreme Court ruled that DOUCHE can have access to all of your data held by the SSA, and the MAGAts and Muskrats are celebrating this government overreach, because they're too stupid to realize how dangerous this is.
