A group of wolves is called a pack and a group of Nazis is called a CPAC.

transformative work of the day

I’m not sure the world has seen a genuine supervillain until 2025. Of course there’ve been countless monsters: hitler, Stalin, pol pot. But a real life figure who fits the Gotham/Metropolis model. Plutocrat bigwig who is actually deeply evil & wants to run the world for cartoonishly stupid reasons.

Autocomplete on my iPhone finally recognizes "kvetch," so I've got that going for me, which is nice. #AdmiringTheDeckChairs

Elon Musk recently posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” He goes on to ask if we suffered childhood trauma and concludes by suggesting we are suffering from “generational trauma.” This is my response. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

Breaking: The Federalist Society quickly reboots as the Royalist Society.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

The Washpost, which is bleeding millions of dollars and shrinking its staff, accepted -- and then rejected -- a $115,000 ad that criticized Elon Musk. Anyway, here's the ad that the Post's business side didn't want its readers to see ⤵️ thehill.com/media/514849...

OFFICIAL RELEASE DAY for "The Quest for Annie Moore of Ellis Island"! 😊🗽 (only took 22 years 😏) All shares appreciated!

Husband just bought us the best present! Vintage 1963, older than he is!😜

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

my take is that your willingness to accept this gulf of america nonsense is an indicator of your willingness to accept much worse things coming from this administrator

#EmergencyUplift Here’s an oldie but goodie that I cracked myself up with.

“MaYbe shE’s goiNg to be in TroUble nOw” Maybe he can learn to read. The Constitution would be a good place to start

Best in house, especially after being groomed. #dog

"America is not a software company. And letting a thin-skinned, Ketamine-fueled, video-game cheating, Nazi apologist billionaire take over the machinery of the United States is not something that anyone voted for." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

All members of Congress swore allegiance to the Constitution. They didn't ask just Democrats to defend America against all enemies. The house is on fire, y'all. I'll do everything I can to extinguish that flame, but I am begging my Republican colleagues to remember their oath.

museumsoftware.com just a superb name. H/t my librarian archivist daughter. #trademarks

I think what's being done to trans people in this country is a FUCKING SCANDAL. It's absolutely an attempt at eradicating trans people from public life and ALL OF US must refuse this. Everyone. Stop being a loser mealy mouth person. This is bullshit. You should say so in all the places you inhabit.

Friends: I do not want to see any kvetching about people on the left who didn't vote for Harris. Those mistakes didn't decide this. White supremacists & whoever else wouldn't vote for a Black woman did this. Misogynoir. The enemy is WHITE SUPREMACY and FASCISM. Solidarity time. Now. Shore up.

New York Times headlines are so sanitized of value judgments. This one says, basically: Is Ethnic Cleansing Practical?

My computer just offered me the option of accessing a Doom game and I would really like it to read the room.

Elon Musk is a terrible president.

I was led to believe by R.E.M. that I would feel a lot better about this.

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive): 1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment* 2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything 3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can 4. Citizens march en mass

It’s called a Coup d’Tesla

Senate needs to respond to mass firings of Jan 6 attack prosecutors by rejecting Trump nominees. Have a spine and stand up to this autocratic effort to rewrite history and embolden political violence. Block Bondi and Patel.

An unelected, erratic, ketamine-addled billionaire with far right/white nationalist views has taken control of the personnel and payment systems of the United States government. Not an exaggeration, not hyperbole.

Republicans want you to hit your kids instead of giving them health care

My dog is standing in judgment of us all right now.

The difference between Trump blaming "DEI" - which means women, LGBTQ people, the disabled, and racial/ethnic minorities - for everything that goes wrong in the U.S. and Nazis blaming Jews for everything that went wrong in Germany is... nothing. It's nothing. There's no difference.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

LIGNIN and LINDY. 🐝, you exasperate me.

Looks like some naked assignments going on here, though why would you expect otherwise?
