Choices were made. Lolol

Lolol. Perfect.

Trump's attacks on the USPS aren't new. For decades, the GOP has been trying to privatize the Post Office and other crucial public services — all to pad the profits of their wealthy corporate donors.

Printed circa 1970 at the Political Poster Workshop at UC Berkeley on the back of tractor fed computer printer paper. All that's old is new again…

US officials are reportedly threatening to revoke Starlink access for Ukraine if they don’t give us 50% of their mineral rights. That’s not diplomacy, it’s extortion. We’re also pushing them to kill a UN Resolution that blames Russia for starting the war. Facts matter.

I was set to launch my book at the Carter Library next month. This week, we were told all events now need approval from the National Archives. The next day, my event was forced to relocate. A book about the working homeless. A book about civil rights. Apparently these topics are now off limits.

"A constitution is not the act of a government, but of a people constituting a government; and a government without a constitution is power without a right." ~Thomas Paine, Rights of Man, 1792

A justified global laughing stock…

Well, there’s a win for SCROTUS…his mismanagement of the COVID outbreak during his first reign killed so many people it’s saving SS money! Everybody wins! …well, except the dead people.

Save.

The AMA has begun providing updates that had been the domain of the CDC until the Witless Cocksplat and his fluffers decided that protecting the health of citizens was beneath them…May they all die, choking on their own blood and bile.

Obviously he is going to make Mexico pay for it...

I really just keep coming back to what the GOP would be doing if Obama (or any Dem) embarked on this chaos train. These are the asshats who lost their collective minds when he wore a TAN SUIT.

What spineless shitbags. Maybe he shared his brain worm…or his heroin. Wanker.

I guess President Dunning Kruger isn’t ending the Ukraine war on day 1.

Even Thomas Jefferson knows what SCROTUS is…

No packing list nor note…so thank you T-shirt Fairy…they are all delightful.

It is ironic that those who endlessly blathered about the ‘deep state’ are blithely turning over governmental controls to this billionaire asshat.

That's my dad…

Was asked to reshare this… currently open for collaboration, so add any you think should be included.

On one TV channel, they report on Trump's plan to hold immigrants at Guantánamo, where the military once imprisoned (and waterboarded) the most extreme terrorists. On another TV channel, they're interviewing Auschwitz survivors, recounting the terrors of Nazi detention. No connection whatsoever.

Any holiday not about straight white Christian men will be "paused."

As chilling a meme as I have seen. But I agree.

This person is _admitting on-air_ that she and her boss are violating a federal law that’s been in place for _a half-century_. That’s how stupid—and radical—these people are. They’re dangerous extremists and scofflaws and they should be referred to in that fashion by journalists because it’s a fact.

This is what Project 2025 looks like.

Cruel. Evil. Anti-life. This is what you voted for!!!!

Let Denmark cook.

SCROTUS et al just announced that USDA is now sponsored by Propel electrolyte-infused water and they will begin promoting its use on fields. "Propel, it's what plants crave."

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin, Dublin MEP on SCROTUS' inauguration before the EU. It is nice to be able to be proud of one of my counties and their politicians.

2025 playlist evolving. Currently open for collaboration, should you wish to add…

Think I'll make a new playlist.

SCROTUS apparently took issue with an actual xtian espousing actual xtian values… Anyone who follows this man is either willfully ignorant or malevolent.

Not everyone can run or sit on a board. Good thing there are literally dozens of other proactive means of defending libraries and schools! Here are but 56: bookriot.com/56-small-tas...

Bryan MacCormack, the executive director of a New York-based immigrant rights group, was pulled over by CBP with two undocumented passengers in the vehicle. He knew his rights, refused to acknowledge their "warrant", and despite CBP threatening him, the agents eventually were forced to let him go.

I hope this helps clear up what just happened. It is short, free, and sourced.

SCROTUS may wish to rewrite the history of his violent horde's assault on Congress…but we have endless images and videos of what happed that day. Below, for example, are images of US military troops occupying the Library of Congress to protect it from the waste of skin's "tourists"… Facts matter…

Book of the Day

About time…but thank you
