This unapologetic brutality, this senseless waste of life, this asinine global trade war, this stupid squandering of prosperity, this sociopathic predation against citizens and immigrants—they are collaborators on all of it. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/for-americ...

250 years ago we started our war against tyranny. Our country was born rejecting a king and we sure as hell won’t let Trump destroy our democracy now. No Kings!

Exactly. We need Doctor Who in this moment in history to remind us what's possible.

If you are the parent of an autistic child or are autistic yourself, this should disgust you. This man is wholly unfit to be in his position, and his lack of understanding and compassion is contemptable. #RFKJr

the most appalling part of this political era is the physical harm they are inflicting on innocent people but secondary to that i find the constant smug lectures from this country's biggest collection of hypocrites, scammers, perverts, pedophiles, and overall bozos very distasteful

Midwesterners aren’t the dumb hicks we’re often mistaken for. Some may not have recognized the snake in the grass but they know when they’ve been bitten.

Today I saw and heard a bald eagle fly over, saw a great horned owl land in my backyard, saw a barn swallow fly over and still have purple finches at my feeders. Gonna be a good year for birding! #birder #birding

Anyone else realize that for all the religious institutions in America, they sure haven’t done much good at keeping us on the moral up and up, have they? And I ain’t talking about keeping people from cheating on spouses or killing people. I’m talking about just plain old honesty. Where’s that now?

My feeder and camera are ready. 3D printed frame and Bird Buddy camera.

Find the joy. How about the joy of a 75F day where I can sit on my deck with my cats and enjoy the bird songs. Fixed some hummingbird nectar in anticipation of their arrival soon, as well as rose-breasted grosbeaks, house wrens and Baltimore orioles. 😁

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act. Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes? Staffer: a DL and birth certificate. Me: The documents don’t match Staffer: Then a marriage certificate. Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too? Staffer: No Me: See the problem?

The eye of the anti-trans movement has fallen on a school near me, which a relative attends. The community is coming out to defend it and its students.

I just watched a video where the person dumped out soft soap, rinsed the bottle, squeezed toothpaste into the bottle THEN poured mouthwash in it, shook it up, taped the brand name cut off the toothpaste box to the front and then dispensed it onto their toothbrush. Why???

Thank goodness a friend called me and we chatted for a good bit. Sat here at the car place for an hour and 15 minutes already. I got things to do, y’all. Yes I asked them to check out the brakes but they didn’t replace anything, just rotated tires and changed oil.

This is like being offended when someone says they have no desire to drink alcohol. I like to drink alcohol. How does it in any way affect me if someone who wants community, but also would like their boundary on drinking respected, points that out to people? Why is Rowling so pressed about this?

Yep keep us busy with trivial things while people get tortured in foreign prisons. That’s the game plan. But we can care about more than 1 thing at a time, so don’t let up!

It seems that Trump wants a recession. Why? A recession will drive down the prices of real estate, companies, and shares of stock. Trump and his fellow billionaires want to buy up everything on the cheap and then enjoy the ride upward — no matter the cost to working people.

Also, one more thing: if you're not LGBTQ, you don't get a say on who's welcome in our community. Asexual and aromantic people are sexual minorities. They're always welcome in our spaces. Our spaces are their spaces. Mind your own damn business and get a new hobby.

Why not organize these protests on a Sunday? Fuck with the religious people a little. We don’t care about your worship services - we have a democracy to save! Plus, I rarely get Saturdays off on such short notice so I can’t participate.

And here it is. The best fucking sign from yesterday. History will record that these 2 women were each denied the opportunity to make America great.

One of the most awkward customer/retail store employee interactions is “Don’t you remember me?” No dude (it’s usually a dude because women never assume people remember them), I see 150-200 people a day. Nothing about you was particularly memorable unless you were a jerk. I’ll probably remember this.
