Amen to that.

At this rate How long before he offers Russia military bases in the US? Not a joke.

He is a Russian asset.

“All we can do is go around telling the truth” - Carson McCullers, born this day, Feb 19, -1917

above all else the current crop of republicans in congress are the most pathetic cowards to ever serve in washington www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

🇺🇸👀 CNN poll: ▪️8% of Americans view Russia positively; ▪️61% see Russia as an enemy; ▪️4% Russia as a partner. ▪️ only 9% like Putin! ▪️ 52% support Ukraine using U.S. weapons in Russia.

Not sure we’ve ever had a president who hates Americans as much as this asshole does

Planes are crashing because Trump and Musk wanted to cut their own taxes even more. Say it over and over and over again until it sinks into people's brains and they correctly associate every crash with two billionaires who never fly commercial.

Thousands marched in New York City against the fascist Trump regime. (📹@StatusCoup) "Fascist Trump has got to go" #3E #USProtests #fiftyfiftyone #NoKings #Feb17

To be honest, if they had an Academy Award for best perfomance by an animal, it would be my favorite category. Might restore interest in this boring self serving event.

Thought what's the big deal, and then googled "physics package." Oh my.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

I love her. Her A CHILD'S ADVENTURE is one of the most beautiful records. What an incredible life. "Falling from grace, falling from grace Lord, you have a pretty face Take it away and pack it in a suitcase Then forget about falling from grace."

Georgia protestors continue to resist the corrupt pro-Kremlin government that stole their election, it's now day 64 and protests are stronger than ever.

Let's be VERY clear here. Trump does *not* have the authority to withhold federal funding from public schools for what they teach. The 2015 Every Student Succeeds Act is very explicitly clear on this. #EduSky www.chalkbeat.org/2025/01/29/t...

Welcome back to Trump 2.0

Intelligence officials are starting to leak to me now too. Here’s a memo Defense Intelligence Agency personnel received instructing them to suspend observances including: - Holocaust Remembrance Day - MLK Day - Juneteenth

Feeling pumped that Trump retaliated against Colombia by putting a 25% tax on the coffee I drink. Total power move.

The Air Force is stripping Tuskegee Airmen lessons from basic training curriculum because of our White supremacist government. Put that in a headline. www.expressnews.com/news/article...

I know some of you from Twitter/X. That place got crazy at times. I’m sure this place can too. So if it does, here’s a bit of a respite from the craziness. Enjoy! lennywellswords.com/2022/06/09/r...

“Frankly, I have difficulty understanding how a member of the Bar could state unequivocally that this is a constitutional order,” the judge said of Trump’s birthright citizenship executive order. “It just boggles my mind.” www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

BREAKING: Federal Judge Blocks Trump's Executive Order Ending Birthright Citizenship “I've been on the bench for over four decades. I can’t remember another case where the question presented is as clear as this one. This is a blatantly unconstitutional order.”

so GOP members of Congress sent rape threats ("sexually explicit texts") to Cassidy Hutchinson after her testimony and now GOP leadership is afraid they'll come out?

😳WOW — “An aide to @SpeakerJohnson advised Republican colleagues against subpoenaing former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson as part of their investigation into the 1/6 attack to prevent the release of sexually explicit texts lawmakers sent her…” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Trump is canceling flights for Afghan allies who were already cleared, leaving them to face the Taliban's brutal revenge. These brave individuals stood shoulder to shoulder with our Troops—we owe it to them to stand up and #TakeThemToo. We don’t abandon those who served!

This is the face of courage and compassion. Thank you Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde for speaking truth to power on behalf of the marginalized.

Word is that Ohio Lt. Gov. Jon Husted will be tapped to take over Vance's Senate seat. I had the opportunity to speak to him privately, in a professional capacity in 2005 as he was assuming the office of Ohio's speaker of the House. Folks: he is the stupidest motherfucker I've ever encountered.

The jokes write themselves!

@errpor.bsky.social hey Errol, Randy from the Globe.

CBO: “The Biden years immigrant surge will add $9 TRILLION to the GDP between 2024–2034, $65,000 per 🇺🇸 household… increased wages, salaries, and profits… while reducing deficits nearly $1 Trillion…” www.cbo.gov/publication/...

I know there's a lot of fake stuff going around about Zuckerberg right now, but here's a REAL quote he made in 2004: "You can be unethical and still be legal; that's the way I live my life." He really said that. And that explains why he's trying to limit facts.

What…an absolute piece of shit asshole that, for lack of a better word, man, is. And what a class act our VP is.

Commentators keep treating DOGE as Al Gore’s Clinton-era ‘Reinventing Government’ redux, when a better frame is probably oligarchs under Yeltsin’s ‘shock therapy’ cleaving parts of the Russian state off as private fiefs.

Disgusting

some Dems fetishize bipartisanship, but when the GOP Speaker thinks of you as the "enemy," maybe reevaluate

Here is my response to Donald Trump’s latest malicious lies:
