I am a real person who lives in the US. I’m happy, and I like to travel. I actually do have opinions, but I crave facts. Voracious reader. Perpetual student. ⛸️🎭🪡🦮 I like to go outside at night, look at the sky, and remember that we’re stardust.

WTF. Day 108.

West Virginian coal miners voted for Trump and their own painful demise.

BILL GATES: “The picture of the world’s richest man killing the world’s poorest children is not a pretty one.” @financialtimes.com www.ft.com/content/bdd9...

You'll never read a more raw statement of Mercantilist fervor.

⚡️White smoke rises over the Vatican—Catholics have a new Pope.

Kinda wild that so many Very Serious People take the need to build data centers for AI as a given when the main use case for AI so far seems to be degrading people’s ability to read, write, think critically and connect to other human beings

WTF, pt. 2. Day 107

WTF. Day 107.

A rare account from a young woman who escaped Tibet sheds new light on China’s harsh policies aimed at bringing the region to heel.

New Protest Alert for the MASS action day on June 14th! Our local TroubleNation group, 'We The People', inivites us all to join them in Grape Day Park, Escondido, from 10am-12pm. Come on out and remind our authoritarian wanna-be regime that the USA is a democracy, NOT a monarchy!

This post was the highlight of my day.

I haven’t fact checked this, but it sounds legit.

This is a political time to wake up EVERYDAY prepared to Speak Truth to Power!

Ann Talnaes quit the Washington Post after Jeff Bezos wouldn’t run her cartoon of tech execs groveling before Trump. Yesterday, she won a Pulitzer for her work. They will try to eclipse the truth. They will never extinguish it.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

also you all need to see this, because this is something I don't think *anybody* could predict for where this ad goes

WTF. Day 104.

Trump on his decision to impose 100% tariffs on all movies produced outside the US: “Other nations have been stealing the movies…So that is a threat to our country in a sense.”🤡

maybe i'm overthinking this but mechanically what does a "tariff on a movie" even mean

Proof this guy is full of SITH.

The majority of Americans are with you as well, but with the lunatic at the helm, we're doing our best to fight back. Don't give up on us. Believe me, we hate trump as much as you do, if not more.

Arts agency terminates dozens of grants after Trump proposes eliminating NEA. National Endowment for the Arts notifies organizations that offers of government grants were terminated. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Trump says he’s reopening Alcatraz for prisoners.

President Trump confirmed that he had pressed Mexico’s president, Claudia Sheinbaum, to let U.S. troops into the country to help fight drug cartels, an idea she summarily rejected.

Nothing to see here. Just @emilyjaynef.bsky.social being forcibly removed from NY-17 Rep. Mike Lawler's town hall tonight for having the temerity to act like a citizen of the United States. Hero.

Well, I had an interesting Sunday night, how 'bout you?

If the White House can post irreverent photos, then so can I.

It is a little weird to me countries aren’t more aggressively, formally trying to take advantage of the U.S. science brain drain. Once in a lifetime opportunity to buy low on Non-Dumbass Americans with PhDs who just wanna look into microscopes and quietly cure ass cancer as our country eats shit.

Listening to a playlist of songs by Sting. At one point in my life, his songs seemed passé. But “Russians” and “They Dance Alone” don’t sound so far away.

Two headlines from the same day, one real and one a satire. #TheOnion

Things we can’t afford: Cancer and Alzheimer’s research Head start Jobs for veterans Park rangers Sesame Street Things we can afford: Tax cuts for Elon Gold Oval Office Military parade for an idiot’s goddamn birthday

10-15 years ago (time is a mystery) there were news reports out of China that babies there had been fed formula that had been tainted with melamine. I thought to myself “lucky to be living in the US where they test for such things.” I will post an article in the comments if I can find it…

This guy outside the Capitol seems to really be enjoying his weekend. What a vibe.

Ben Franklin on inoculation, after his son died from smallpox. “In 1736, I lost one of my sons, a fine boy of four years old, by the small-pox, taken in the common way. I long regretted bitterly, and still regret that I had not given it to him by inoculation”.

Trump’s exploiting the death of Pope Francis to distract Americans from the horrors he’s ordering and damage he’s inflicting on this country. Trump doesn’t want Americans discussing the economic chaos he’s created, his crashing poll numbers, his trashing of America’s reputation, the mass firings,…

Yesterday, a top Trump Administration official made an apparent threat to arrest me. Here’s my message to Wisconsinites. I encourage you to take a few minutes to watch. ⬇️

My first thought as a non-Catholic was that this image is probably deeply offensive to Catholic people, and is wildly inappropriate for the White House to post. These are not serious people.

Hope everyone had a GREAT day protecting democracy, workers, unions, and our rights for May Day yesterday! Fired up?? Good! I'm hosting today's event starting at Darrell Issa's Escondido office, then a very short march to the intersection of Broadway & 78 at 10:30. See you there!

Why????

“A hallmark of dictatorship”

Before coming to Columbia, Anastasiia Vorozhtsova went to Smolny College, a liberal-arts school in St. Petersburg. “Russian authorities intervened, and my alma mater started unraveling. Smolny’s story offers a warning that Columbia must heed”:
