There is one thing the US constitution needs now more than ever, a fail-safe mechanism (aka dead-man’s switch) to protect the world from some cataclysm caused by our current government. It is obvious we don’t have one or it would have been triggered already. You know the one about prefering […]

They used to be American. Now they're American't.

This has been the saddest excuse for a Black History Month I have experienced. I’m reminded of a quote: “The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history” George Orwell

@michellepayne Hey Michelle. Welcome to the fediverse. I recommend making an introductory post with a little bit about yourself so people can get to know you. Then feel free to follow people and some of the people that they follow. It is much friendlier here that those social networks. Also […]

Elon, I know that the email you wrote to Federal Employees was not aimed at me directly. Although, in a way it does apply to me in that I am a retired Civil Engineer on Social Security, after a career spanning 45 years. I figure it is only a matter of time before you ask me, and others in my […]

Putin’s criminality must be held front and center in every discussion of peace in Ukraine. He should not be given a pass to Saudi Arabia; he should be held and transported to The Hague. Same with a visit to the U.S. https://sfba.social/@skykiss/114065113691267745

A couple months ago there was a story going around about Justice John Roberts accepting some sort of royal title from somewhere in the British Empire. I cannot find any trace of that story now. Perhaps it was just one of my many SCOTUS dreams/hallucinations.

If you were wondering about cats… Now you know.

A dick move like this is just begging for a general strike. https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/02/ensuring-accountability-for-all-agencies/

Happy Caturday

Control the USPS and you control US elections. That is the end of democracy.

He is obviously self-medicating and high as a kite. If he doesn’t get into rehab soon he is not going to last much longer. No matter what else anyone says, he should not have access to our personal, medical, or financial information. He must be stopped as the whole thing is insane.

The district I live in voted something like 95% for the democratic ticket last November so it is a safe bet that there are a lot of people in my neighborhood who are quite alarmed with what is happening in the world right now. I would like to organize a resistance group here to see if we can […]

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQ07xe_W4Pc If SCOTUS will react as Norman states then maybe there is a chance to survive this stripping back of the veneer. I don’t see it because I’m a jaded old fuck who thinks they have been bought and paid for. I suppose we will have to wait and see, however […]

Does it really matter why Trump is selling out Ukraine to Putin? #whyaskwhy #treason

Now they have gone too far. It’s one thing to gut the FAA and fire FBI agents and nuclear safety workers, but the National Park Service? This will not stand. Yosemite halts camping reservations, with no timetable for their return […]

Finally

In the last four weeks Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg and their associates have marked the cards of every billionaire on the planet for the remainder of time that rapacious capitalism is a thing. The mere existence of a billionaire is prima facie evidence of a moral crime. The […]

Happy He’s Not My President Day

What if unblocking the flow of fentanyl was the goal? https://www.threads.net/@semafor/post/DGLQDvCoLue

Thought for the day

"Deregulation and tax cuts meant that between 1981, when Reagan took office, and 2021, when Democratic president Joe Biden did, about $50 trillion moved from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%." $50 trillion isn't enough for the wealthy regressive-right elites who paid for The […]

@rmlginty Hi Robyn! Welcome to Mastodon.

People keep talking as if Congress can save our Democracy and I have to laugh. Congress has been trying and failing since Obama took office. From letting McConnell prevent Obama from appointing judges, including SCOTUS, to twice failing to impeach Trump for obvious crimes. It is way too late […]

Evergreen cartoon

I have outrage burnout. I’m sorry I am not strong enough to cope with this avalanche of terrible news and misinformation. I have been hoping for the last ten years the we would get a break but they have gotten away with everything they have done, eventually. We now live in a lawless state where […]

Elon just purchased the most powerful country on the planet for less than 1/10th of 1% of his estimated net worth. Let that sink in.

https://archive.ph/2025.02.11-192641/https://www.businessinsider.com/doge-staff-list-white-house-2025-2 These guys are attacking our country from within. They have ties to SCOTUS and Tech. This is outrageous.

Who said “Oops”? Did somebody say “Oops”? I thought I heard “Oops”! I know what I mean when I say “Oops” and it is usually for something I did that was bad. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/02/11/musk-ally-mistakenly-power-alter-payments-system-00203714

Hold on to your purses and wallets, everyone, while they are setting off smoke bombs and stun grenades all over the country, their ultimate goal is to rob us blind. They know they won’t win the long game so it’s all about the snatch and run this time.

In the end the question we should be asking is, which way will the military go in the coup?

Venezuela has never been the same. The moral of the story is that coups happen over night and are violent and terrifying. I am afraid that we are about to have one in the U.S. and life will never be the same here again, unless there is some miracle. 2/2

In 2002 my wife decided to go to Venezuela to visit the parents of her friend and colleague and to see some sights there. They lived in Merida so she had to catch a connecting flight in Caracas. While her plane was on route to Caracas a coup occurred and President Maduro was thrown out of […]

Spring is busting out all over

I hope SCOTUS rules that coups are illegal, otherwise we are going to have to put up a real fight.

#TheBrutalist #Surrealism #bauhaus One last thing on the movie, The Brutalist. I cannot prove that the screenplay was written with the help of AI, but I know that it was.

What if Trump and Musk have different agendas? Perhaps woke isn’t such a bad place to be. https://lasvegassun.com/news/2025/feb/07/billionaire-supervillains-trump-musk-revel-in-chao/

Best line in The Brutalist: “This country is rotten to the core.” #TheBrutalist Still applies.

They’re doing everything they can to destroy the government/democracy as we know it. They want a ruler, not a president of a government Via ‪Aaron Rupar‬: BASH: I remember a time when Republicans were very careful about the government having access to personal data NOEM: Well, we can't […]

Creating a movie relating brutalist architects from the Bauhaus movement to the Holocaust is like relating punk rockers with the Vietnam War. The movie wasn’t bad, it just didn’t make sense. #TheBrutalist
