So this counts as an attempted identity theft and we can all get new SSNs now, right? Right? 👀

Putin is full out celebrating our idiocy.

Knowing the names of the an unelected oligarch’s underlings who are destroying the government from within is a crime now, apparently.

I’m glad someone’s coming up with ideas because I’m starting to feel there’s nothing effective we can do without violating the constitution ourselves.

I just hope this isn’t all bark and no bite.

In watching all these parallels between 1939 and 2025 play out, the one thing that gives me a glimmer of hope is that, unlike Hitler, Herr Trumpf doesn’t have any military experience and wouldn’t know the first thing about military strategy.

It’s better to teach people than to scare them. If you scare them and nothing happens, they lose their fear, and you lose some of your authority with them. It’s harder to scare them a second time, harder to teach them, harder to win back their trust. Best to begin by teaching. -Parable of the Sower

Time to flood the zone with “facts and circumstances.” www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Portals/55/M...

More proof they don’t give a fuck about kids after they’re born. Leave the kids alone, you absolute sick fucks!

So Boebert and Mace are more concerned with policing bathrooms than lowering the cost of eggs. I guess the they/them those ads were talking about was the they/them grocery costs but the “you” was only you if you’re in the restroom.

Called it. Within 24 hours, he turns to his typical M.O. of calling women “nasty.” Note, she didn’t accuse him of anything. She merely asked him to be merciful. And this is his response.

Everything he’s done so far is straight out of Project 2025. But tell me again how he knew nothing about it. 😒

Pete Hegseth made it through the Committee 14-13. He has NOT been confirmed yet. We need to light up the Senate phone lines tomorrow and flood their mailboxes. Send your letters here:

We’re not debating it, Amy. The Nazis are just denying it.

Anyone else find it weird that he ordered flags flown at full height for every future Inauguration Day if he can’t serve another term after this? 🤨 apnews.com/article/trum...

And I never felt the need to block Tom

This Fucking Guy (TFG)’s “drill baby drill” comment is to climate change what The Marshmallow Experiment is to predictors of long-term success. 🤦🏻‍♀️ ajhdl.org/wp-content/u...

I wonder if this will affect his confirmation. I’m gonna go ahead and guess not.

Dems did their job. The Republiklan is the ones not questioning his suitability. His views on anyone who isn’t a cishet white man in the military and his “alleged” problematic behavior are just the bare minimum reasons he shouldn’t be confirmed even if he was competent enough to do it.

I get that preparing ourselves for the next 4 years’ shitstorm is critical. At the same time, I’m pissed that narcissists like TFG and Zuck chose yesterday to overshadow the eulogy for Pres Carter yesterday. I can’t help thinking the timing was deliberate.

Furthermore “Greenland has tremendous undeveloped natural resources, including more than 43 of the 50 so-called critical rare earth elements used to make electric vehicles” We all know who’s pulling the strings.

The vast majority of submarine movements from the Baltic and Barents into the Atlantic Ocean pass by Iceland and Greenland. Why does the incoming administration want them so badly? (And I mean that rhetorically with everything it implies about TFG and his allegiances) www.nytimes.com/2024/12/23/u...

Not much to see in my comments or replies yet. Trying to be more mindful about the stuff I put out on social media. I’m a snarky, petty bitch but my snark doesn’t always add value. So I’m being more deliberate about it.
