Rewatching All the President's Men which is the first movie I bought on Prime to watch w adv ESL students at camp in Czech. "If you've got 'em by the balls, their hearts and minds will follow." Attributed to a cartoon on Charles Colson's office wall. Colson was Special Counsel to President Nixon.

Hey quick, someone put up a head of lettuce by a picture of Speaker Johnson and start the wilting clock. #TheRomainsOfTheDay

MUST WATCH! If you are taking a break from politics during the holiday, good for you. There is nothing to feel guilty about. If you re-center what you love, you will remember why you fight.

That motherfucking melted circus peanut isn’t even in office yet and he’s already sticking it to the American people so his super-rich buddies can get whatever the fuck they want.

Chris Murphy: "Why did Elon Musk not oppose the defense bill, which is loaded with lots of spending, but oppose the continuing resolution? Maybe because his bread is buttered in the defense bill. That's where there are programs that help his businesses and pad his profits."

All churches should be taxed. Repost if you agree.

Holy fuck. Seb Gorka is his pick to be senior director for counterterrorism. Seb fucking Gorka, who was denied security clearance in the last Trump administration… Seb fucking Gorka who has ties to a Nazi-allied organization in Hungary… The. Director. Of. Counterterrorism.

BREAKING NEWS: GM announces it will fire at least 1000 workers as they face Trump’s promises of increased tariffs. It’s only the beginning. Food costs will go up because of the tariffs. The workers will lose their work insurance and can’t use the ACA when subsidies expire. Hungry. Sick. #FAFO

@bmeiselas.bsky.social: I do gotta say, congrats to QAnon, I guess. What a run you guys had, from going after the Deep State and the shadowy billionaires and the child sex traffickers to putting those people in power. You got Trump—Jeffrey Epstein's best friend—going to be president, Matt Gaetz...

Thanks for noticing.

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens. Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”
