What could possibly go wrong?!?

Imagine the biggest problem in your life being about which bathroom a total stranger uses. Imagine pretending random people you'll never meet are somehow victimizing you with their existence. Imagine being that hard up for troubles that you have to invent them just so you can play the victim.

This is so true.

Amen.

Cory Booker

Historians can debate why other great powers wane or implode but in our case it will because a handful of chuds and a toxic billionaire have decided to destroy every good thing that powers our national advantage and forward momentum

Just signed the petition for Chuck to step down. chng.it/DYvsxz9XqD

This is terrifying.

We are so far beyond “pick your fight,” or “wait to fight another day.” The fight is now — facism or no facism. Any pol who doesn’t understand that and doesn’t fight needs to go.

No wonder he isn’t fighting back and is trying to make sure other Ds don’t fight either. They’re just two old buddies trying make sure they and their rich friends keep getting richer. It’s disgusting.

The fascism and white supremacy and hateful and relentless bullying of all kinds of people who just want to be left alone to live their lives in peace is obviously what matters most, but also these people are so very dumb and incompetent. And weird.

I know the political rhetoric has changed but my god these people are WEIRD.

We got a Costco membership for the first time in our lives today. They asked why & I said because treat your workers well, you value diversity, & you didn’t cave in to authoritarian demands. He said: “We’ve been getting lots of folks saying that, thanks for joining.” Who needs a gallon of ketchup?

I still do not want to start down a The Lawyers Are Our Resistance Heroes path, but credit where it’s due, that’s a bar. Guy really got to publicly quit with a “couldn’t be me bitch,” may we all get to do something half as satisfying someday www.nytimes.com/2025/02/14/n...

I didn’t think he’d actually do it…

If this is isn’t corruption and a violation of the duties and ethical obligations of a federal prosecutor, why doesn’t Bove or Bondi put their name on it and file it?

Yes, we let a rich idiot nobody elected destroy the entire government, but it was that or make rich people pay taxes so that poor people could go to the doctor

nuclear annihilation is a novel way to pay for tax cuts for oligarchs

they can take over the entire country but they can never actually be cool and it will eat at them forever

Has Cory Booker explained to the dem leadership what a ratio is yet?

No Chuck, I'm worried about the fact that a deranged, unelected, drugged-up fascist billionaire has taken control of the federal government's payment systems and sensitive data and you're here talking about tomato prices.

Having watched with growing alarm the developments of the last 24 and 36 hours in Washington, I thought I’d take a stab at how the US media would cover this story if it was happening in a foreign country. Here’s that story that should be written this weekend: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-s-jun...

Never shoulda stopped calling these freaks weird
