After Don Delehanty retired, his wife insisted he accompany her on her trips to the local mall. Like many men he found shopping boring and preferred to just get in and get out. Equally unfortunate, his wife was like many women - she loved to browse.

I live in New York City in the year 2025. The president is a convicted felon. The mayor of NYC is an indicted felon. The secretary of defense is a Fox News host. The secretary of transportation is a Fox News host. The very worst people in America are in charge of America.

Welcome to Trumps America 🇺🇸

Tom Morello was right. And now, we are living in the bonafide Rage Against the Machine era. It is time to organize. Our government is not failing us, it is actively trying to destroy us. #ResistForRealThisTIme

Read. Read books. Reading books is resistance. Buy. Buy books. Buying books is resistance. Share. Share books. Sharing books is resistance. Celebrate Celebrate books. Celebrating books is resistance.

Buckle up for the next round of fckery…

So true.

And as insult to terrible injury of the wildfires, came a simultaneous destructive firestorm of tribal war rhetoric, intentional disinformation, uninformed criticism, and general lack of basic human empathy. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/the-califo...

Where is the lie?

L.A peeps! A message from the owner at Calico Fish House. Anyone who has left LA and headed south. You are welcome at our restaurant, 16600 Pacific Coast Highway, 92649. We have a large parking lot, you can stay as long as you need and camp out. We will provide free meals for all of those affected.

I agree!!

America’s primary focus is on financial gain, disregarding other significant aspects of life.

Can we just fast-forward to 2028?

Bob Dylan’s remarks about Jimmy Carter. 💙

Arguably one of Jimmy Carter's greatest achievement is bringing the world to the brink of eradicating the Guinea Worm. From 3.5m cases a year in the 80s to less than 15 the last few years. It's an astounding public health achievement.

America's richest 10% now hold 60% of the nation's wealth. The bottom half of America? It holds just 6%. Wealth inequality is eating this country alive.

This is it in a nut shell 🦋

MAJOR CRIME!

Billionaires have more money than they could ever need but never enough to fill the holes in their souls. They would send every last one of you into an early grave if it meant paying one cent less in taxes.

🤬

It's a fucking shame that we have to breathe a sigh of relief or be excited when we hear that Congress did its fucking job and averted a government shutdown. Republicans are such a joke.

Hi everyone, please report tf out of this malicious block list that has been plaguing my account since I got here. The owner (and this new owner) refuse to remove me because they have the sads about AI, and they mislead people into thinking they're blocking CRYPTO BOTS bsky.app/profile/did:...

We didn’t elect a fucking South African billionaire. Republicans have been pathetic for years. Now they’ve taken it to a new level.

youtube.com/watch?v=TJfO... History will favor you, President Biden Thank you for your unwavering dedication and hard work to our nation. Regrettably, we were not worthy of your leadership, and we deeply apologize for that.

MAGA Republicans thought they voted for Trump but they actually got shadow President Elon Musk. Musk is taking over. Bet MAGA didn’t vote for that lol #FAFO youtu.be/OiAGeBLcs-8?...

ONLY AN ABSOLUTE HORROR OF A HUMAN BEING WOULD DO THIS… Republicans slashed $200 million for childhood cancer research—a program created with bipartisan support under Obama—from the CR bill. Why? Because Elon Musk told them to.

Explain this, humankind

Republican women are upset that the GOP won’t let them run Committees. People of color are upset that they aren’t being represented in Trump’s Cabinet. Muslim voters are upset about Trump’s Gaza policies. Turns out, the face-eating leopards don’t spare you because you voted for them. Weird, huh?

I prefer presidents who aren't wannabe authoritarians.

Marc Elias wins so often that we need to make sure we don't lose sight of the importance of each of these victories. This is massive news!

Leaving this here for folks that think the GOP is “good” for the economy! Per Simon Rosenberg’s simondwc.bsky.social Hopium Chronicles: “Since 1989 52 million jobs have been created in America. 50 million, 96%, have been created under Democratic Presidents. Essentially all of them, over 36 years”!

I’m with Mark 💯 percent.

I love this so much. I’ve been a “when they go low, we kick them in the fucking face” proponent for a long time.

Exactly

Forever guilty on all counts.

On Uncovered, I talked about why the Hunter Biden pardon story validated for me the reasons why I stopped watching cable news last year. Link to show: www.youtube.com/live/Y21eryO...
