Saw someone upbraiding someone else for having a hobby while the world is on fire, and, my friends: 1. The world is ever on fire, this is today's conflagration; 2. If you don't find time for rest and joy the fire will consume you; 3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.

Believing you need to be on Twitter in order to counteract the right wing nut jobs is like believing you need to be on 4Chan to try and change their minds. Delete that shit, stop feeding Elmo

Sesame Street has been trending on Threads, so I posted this screen shot of Susan, Maria, and Olivia, and now it’s gone viral. One thing about Gen X, we love our Sesame Street memories.

There goes Leader Hakeem Jeffries with another truth bomb. Couldn’t agree more with his suspicions due to the fact that election inference was being done in broad daylight. The 2024 US election should be null and void.

Before they became ass-kissing sycophants, Trump’s cabinet picks used to speak the truth about him.

What makes him think he’s in the clear? Pretty bold for someone who probably needs the most security.

"People don’t cheer for chaos when they feel like justice is possible. But right now, what options do they have? Of course Mangione gets turned into a meme hero—it’s not him they love; it’s the idea of someone finally fighting back.”

Liberal outlets need to start doing “drumbeat” coverage of the real villains in America like the way right wing media pushes stories about immigrants and lgbtq. We need stories about evil insurance companies and church/cop pedos to highlight the rot of conservatism.

Commentary: We know many are disappointed in the election results in Ohio and the U.S., but we can’t afford to be stagnant. We must move forward. We must continue our fight. Our children and grandchildren are depending on our resolve. We should not let them down.

Handing over the Whitehouse to a man who's told the world he'll be a dictator on day one, is in no way preserving, protecting, or defending the Country or US Constitution – it will be actively participating in their destruction. Enforce Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. Now.

This article was written over 3 yrs ago and is still relevant. Aside from the known crimes 🍊has committed, the government is aware of his Russian ties which began over 40 years ago. He is associated with Kompromat so, why are they pretending he won the election? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021...

The Republican “Dep. of Gov Efficiency” is a distraction from their $4 trillion billionaire welfare scheme. If you were $10k in debt and worked hard to cut it to $4k, the next step would NOT BE TO BUY A $4M HOUSE. They want to cut from you, while THEY GET $4 trillion. It’s the GREAT AMERICAN SCAM!
