Democrats need to be okay with calling certain GOP reps ā€œidiotsā€ ā€œlunaticsā€ ā€œcriminalsā€ and more. Truth is a defense to defamation. The GOP lies all the damn time while the Dems are afraid to speak the goddamn truth.

We need fossil fuels for modern life. PERIOD. But we can power our homes, businesses, and transportation with renewable energy. We should also reinvest in nuclear technology, including advancing fusion energy, which would change history.

Democrats must stop pretending that the playbooks of old work in the Trump era. Look at the Dems who are popular in the party AND nationally. They speak the way you would when cameras arenā€™t rolling. The senior generations needs to pass the baton to those willing to fight at the level required.

Laws should be passed protecting civilian federal workers. Only political appointments should be subject to the Presidency.

Congress must be term limited. 6 terms in the House + 2 terms in the Senate, max. 24 years is a career.

Tuition for those making under $400,000 a year is full tax deductible. Student loans will be forgiven after 10 years of payments. Universities with endowments must use 5% each year to support tuition for lower and middle income students.

All capital gains (minus primary home and small business sales) above $1M should be taxed at ordinary income rates. Eliminate carried interest loophole.

The SCOTUS should be term limited to 18 years, at which time they can either resign or move to a lower bench. Judicial ethics should be required under law with penalties of impeachment and removal. The likes of Clarence Thomasā€™ corruption should never be allowed to happen again.

Private schools below university level should be outlawed. Imagine how much better public education would be with all the rich momā€™s, with nothing but time, pushing for the best.

A week being a guy with lupus looks like this: Days 1-4: Flare - feel bad for days with fever and arthritis. Lord help you if itā€™s also cold, because your hands and feet do their Raynaudā€™s things Days 5-6: Feel great, does a weeks worth of stuff in two days Day 7: pee turns pinkā€¦ here comes a flare

If you see this, post a gif from one of your comfort shows.

I have lupus. If I could be outside in the sun protesting, I would be. Trust. But since I canā€™t, Iā€™m doing everything I can online and with my friends & family.

Happy Presidentā€™s Day.

Living here would fix me

AI should be a tool for humans to use to become more productive. It should be illegal for AI to replace a single human job. What happens when AI code is corrupted my bad actors? We should not become reliant on technology that could become sentient.

What the ACTUAL FUCK was that elimination on #RuPaul last night? Riggory. Robbery. Crystal should not have gone home. Period. She ate that lip sync.

Iā€™m worried about the future of the U.S. But, Iā€™m also not going to deny myself fun, joy, and love while the country burns. I donā€™t have to burn with it.

@morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social Respectfully, what is this ā€œBelieveā€ segment? Where can I find the interview with the atheist that says the world would be better without religion? Stop pushing faith on those that donā€™t want it.

Lady Gagaā€™s Abracadabra music video is a work of art deserving to be called a masterpiece.

Another gem found on threads.

A CNN analysis of Trumpā€™s first week in office found that two-thirds of his early executive orders and actions appear closely aligned with Project 2025ā€™s plans.

To: Liberals/Progressives/POC/LGBT/Anti-Trump Independents Buy and own multiple firearms. Train on them. Be proficient. Be vigilant. History is repeating itself. Protect yourself. Protect your family. Be prepared to defend democracy itself.

This month has been a hell of a year.

Was the Black Hawk pilot drunk? Just asking since weā€™ve now established thatā€™s not disqualifying to be SecDef.

Right wing ā€œChristiansā€ are attacking bishops who call for mercy, defending or giving Nazi salutes, and giddily cheering for deportations, all while continuing to pretend that THEY are the ones who are being persecuted. Damn them all to Hell.

Someoneā€™s a tired boy.

BREAKING: The Department of Veterans Affairs has CANCELLED SUICIDE PREVENTION TRAINING because it includes considerations for the LGBTQ+ community. Veterans suicide.

Are you paying ATTENTION, yet? šŸ‘‡ Well, are you?!

The thing that irks me most about the American political right is their claim that they are Christian, yet know less about the Bible than the average atheist. Or, the fact they canā€™t reconcile their faith with their politics. Example: Matthew 19:24

The government. Is. NOT. A. Company, Mark.

Section 31 was obviously a first season cut down into a movie. It. Was. Bad. Period.

You guys need to see this and take it inā€¦ Wise words from someone who is a target. And heā€™s been listening.

Current events got me all like

Arguing on LinkedIn about pronoun use in resumes. Conservatives are openly stating they will blackball anyone they perceive as liberal/progressive while simultaneously claiming they are the victims of DEI. I just CANNOT anymore.
