An impressive group of Jaquettes turned out for my dad’s memorial yesterday. The Friends shared so many stories that there was almost no silent worship. He really touched a lot of lives. It was so great that so many of my cousins and their families came to celebrate. And Chef Chu’s is the best food

So, let's talk board game prices. What does an additional 34% tariff (on top of the existing 20%) on products from China mean to you, the consumer? I'll try to explain in this thread.

I'm 18. The economy enters a once-in-a-century recession. A Republican president is responsible. I'm 29. There is once-in-a-century pandemic that leads to a once-in-century-recession. A Republican is responsible. I'm 35. Tarriffs trigger a once-in-a-century recession. A Republican is responsible.

Something is fundamentally wrong with America when millions of dollars can’t buy you a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat, the respect of your children, the silence of your baby mammas, or a functional penis implant.

My mom just texted me about Corey Booker. She gets her news from other moms on Instagram. Whatever he’s doing right now is breaking through.

Cory Booker has taken the Senate floor and plans to filibuster as long as he’s physically able to protest the complete disregard for the rule of law by Trump and Musk. Watch here: www.c-span.org/event/us-sen...

Got to go see the Giants yesterday at the Reds. Nice to see them win the series! I hope that our new (old) highly paid SS can hit better than the .091 he was swinging yesterday. Go Giants!

If you're just an ordinary citizen, how are you supposed to react to continuous news demonstrating that the rule of law is dead?

Confirming, as was obvious from context already, that this wasn’t a one-off. They are routinely using Signal to evade statutory record retention requirements.

I am BEGGING people to frame this properly. The issue here is not one colossal blunder where a reporter got info. The issue is it’s clear these people are all routinely ignoring the most absolutely basic security protocols, and WE HAVE NO IDEA what breaches this has already enabled.

"Did Trump just defy a court order?" YES, motherfuckers. Why in the fuck is that so hard for people to say? The judge told him to stop doing something, he did it anyway, IN DEFIANCE OF THE JUDGES RULINGS! WHY ARE PEOPLE COMMITTED TO ADDRESSING FASCISM IN THE PASSIVE VOICE????

At what point to the progressive Dems band together and break off into a new party? Their message & fight are tied to a sinking ship, people need a revolution to believe in. The case that they would take power away from Dems is moot bc Dems refuse to use even the slightest bits of power they have.

I'm voting NO on the Republican shutdown bill. NO on handing Donald Trump and Elon Musk a blank check to spend your taxpayer money however they want. NO on cutting funding that helps families put food on the table and crack down on wealthy tax cheats. We need to push back.

After 4.5 years I am leaving SF. My time here was mostly good, but it was far too full of death. My uncle, close friend, father (along with his descent into Alzheimer’s), my poor young kitty. It’s a good city and I will miss parts of it. It’s so fucking expensive though, I don’t know how people

And this was a period in which the Klan wasn't some fringe group operating in the shadows, but rather a dominant force in places like this. Linda Gordon's Second Coming of the KKK notes how firm a hold it had on Muncie specifically, but George Dale refused to be cowed.

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

After all we've seen in the past 3.5wks, I cannot believe anyone is confused about this. Musk. Owns. Trump. Trump sold Musk the functions of the Presidency; in return, Musk spent $250M to ensure Trump won instead of dying in prison. Trump just licenses his name to the deal: POTUS in name only.
