Notice how George W. Bush, a man who went AWOL, and Donald Trump, a man who dodged the draft five times, are so eager to send *your* children to die in wholly unnecessary wars?

This advice is never wrong

Picking radishes is no easy task. Efrén spends 8-10 hrs/day on his knees, picking and sorting the radishes into small bunches to fill dozens of crates a day in CA's Ventura County. He's proud to have worked in America's fields for 49 years. #WeFeedYou

Talk is cheap. All of these promises are empty without a plan. Rent is too high, groceries are too expensive, and people can't afford homes. All the Trump administration cares about is eliminating federal programs and lining the pockets of billionaires.

The correct way to connect the authoritarian presence in LA and the Big Beautiful Bill is that the bill gives the government the resources to do this in dozens of cities at once. So if you don't like what's happening in LA, it's coming to your town if the bill passes.

Your bill is the single largest health care rollback in American history. If you’re going to do it, at least have the guts to own it. Federal Medicaid $ does not cover undocumented people, period. Surely you know this.

Great story about our Unite for Veterans rally this Friday with @dropkickmurphys.com on the National Mall! Join us! @unite4vets.bsky.social www.audacy.com/connectingve...

Romy is snuggling up with my just arrived book mail. Thank you @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social !

HOLY Mike Conley!!! #WolvesBack

Thank you, @smith.senate.gov, for fighting for Minnesota!

WTH??? ANOTHER revolting action by this administration.

Rep. Julie Johnson to Noem: "Are you aware that ICE agent jackets are available on Etsy for $20? Anybody can throw a mask on and run around and terrorize people of color without any regard for the law because your agency does not have proper protocols to make sure your agents are clearly identified"

Fuck it. I'm going to give away 100 books. If you'd like one of these, signed, email yr address to [email protected]. All I ask is that you give me the postage (£4 UK). If you can give me more, brilliant. If not, no probs. Stephen Fry called this "hilarious.". I think it's my best non-fiction book.

Perfectly stated! Thank you. 🙏

Still no payment from my ex-publisher, so I'm selling a few more of these (bought from their warehouse). ALL FOUR of these, signed, for the price of the 1983 hardback (£16.99) plus postage Please email me at [email protected] with your address if you want them. Any shares of this much-appreciated!

"They want obedient workers. People who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork and just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay the longer hours the reduced benefits the end of overtime and the vanishing pension" ~George Carlin
