I like democracy, art, writing, music, road trips, fishing, gaming, absurdism, smart people, being a dickhead to dickheads, and cheese.

Can you guess which joint chiefs of staff members were let go yesterday? Hint: The answer is in the alt text

Good chance that Elmo will destroy himself before he completes his job of destroying us as his personal & professional life collapses. Remember, he is not actually intelligent, has horrendous judgment, has ready access to drugs, & no one around him will tell him no.

I've said often, based on history, that there's no reasonable expectation most people will be courageous in the face of fascism. Bravery is rare. It's valued for a reason: Most people aren't cut out for it, for reasons good and bad. But man, you'd still sorta hope the ABA woulda held the line.

in the trump administration, “merit” is pronounced “white” like how strom thrumond said it.

Heroin addict and steroid abuser wants the rest of us to to make as smart decisions about our health as he has.

At least the team at DOJ has a mentor.

Donald Trump isn't interested in a smaller government, he wants a weaponized government. He doesn't want fewer federal employees, he just wants them loyal to him.

The Attorney General on the American taxpayers dime...threatening her employer??? What say you, my fellow Americans?

THIS 👇 EXACTLY!! We can rise up against many bad things while we're at it ‼️

If Trump and his gang aren't bound by the law nor the constitution, why are you? Currently the system of checks and balances is being destroyed at a speed that would have launched most countries into riots or open revolt. This is a constitutional crisis and your constitution isn't doing so well.

Fascist, lying, Russian sponsored pigs like Trump always try to destroy all Free Press Journalism. Trump will try all these immoral tricks to shut down news journalism; so that no one is covering his crimes or his hero Putin any more. www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5al...

Then go where they are.

A victory here in Baltimore protecting DEI. Democracy Forward has a good article on it. I think better than The Banner. Love the long quote from Mayot Scott. democracyforward.org/updates/judg...

‼️Journalists - pick this up‼️ “United States Marine Corps veteran, VA disability rating, federal probationary employee that was 6 days away from end of probation, with an Outstanding Performance Review rating…I was illegally terminated.” old.reddit.com/r/fednews/co...

We can still help crowdfund Ukraine, too. In spite of the wishes of our Derptators.

The Nazi who hoaxed his way into $400,000,000,000 and currently has control of the US Federal Government was born to these people in a racist slave-state. This is the Mummy & Daddy of America now. Maye Dunning & Errol Kruger had a baby. Elon Musk is Adolf Dunning-Kruger. Nope.

Imagine my surprise when Babymama #4 showed up looking for her loot from the Ketamine King.

I’m starting to think he’s got no second act. He’s like a bad one-hit wonder band from the 80s.

Dear Catholic Bishops: there’s no need for further protective/cover up tactics re abuse victims’ redress. $Damages are capped. The Church’s reputation is already destroyed: redemption requires confession/atonement www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/law-cri... via @thesaturdaypaper.com.au

I heard someone compare Trump’s mass firings to him being a bull in a china shop. I disagree. Trump is a like a bull in a VA hospital. Trump is like a bull in an assisted living facility. Trump is like a bull in an Alzheimer’s research center. Trump is like a bull in a NICU.

Putin can attack Americans, kill Americans, even wage war someday on our home soil and Trump won’t say one negative word about him. Trump is and has been a Russian asset for decades.

Heroin addict and roadkill enthusiast, RFK Jr. kills flu shot campaigns and cancels a major vaccination conference.

General Charles Q. Brown Jr., Faithfully and Honorably served the Constitution and The People of the US for 41-years in the USAF. His last posting was as the 21st Chairman of The Joint Chiefs of Staff. He was unjustly fired by the dangerously unqualified SECDEF. I proudly stand with Gen. Brown.

Pretty sure we could take on both babbling idiots. Even the one with the chainsaw. They’re both stupid, slow, and are easily distracted by applause. I’ll stand in front of them and clap enthusiastically while y’all make your approach from their six with the net.
