This should never stand. It's clearly cruel and unusual punishment.

Sure Trump fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the CNO....but they fired the top JAG's in the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Why would you fire the top lawyers in the armed services at night on a Friday? That's the part you should be freaking out about.

This is what leadership looks like. Come senators, congressmen Please heed the call Don't stand in the doorway Don't block up the hall For he that gets hurt Will be he who has stalled The battle outside ragin' Will soon shake your windows And rattle your walls For the times they are a-changin'

With all the terrible things that are happening sometimes we just need to stop and relax. If you love cats as I do I think you'll find this very soothing.

If you don’t think ICE is fully staffed with Nazis, just read this.

You’re either with the Nazis or against the Nazis. Those are the only choices.

This is embarrassing .

There was yet another mishap at a small uncontrolled airport in Arizona involving 2 single engine private aircraft. A few of my friends have asked me what an "uncontrolled airport" is. Here's an good explanation of that, and an analysis of what seems to have caused this mishap.

Remember this? It's happening again, but now they don't just want to privatize it, they want to do away with SS, Medicare, and Medicaid altogether. Are you younger than 65? Get active. Get organizing. Get to doing whatever you can do. Don't let those creeps touch your Social Security or Medicare.

The Weak Strongman. Exposing Trump's ultimate weakness. This is a long, but good, read.

Another mid-air collision occurred today in Arizona between a two single engine private aircraft. The airport is an uncontrolled field meaning there is no control tower and pilots are responsible for their own separation from other aircraft. Two people lost their lives.

Hey GringoLoco, you doun nee no steenkin standars...

I hate to ruin y'alls day, but well...this shit has got to stop.

Here's a little ray of sunshine in these distressful times. MAGA Mike Lawler is ashamedly my congressman and he's got to go. I hope he runs for Governor because he can't win, and we've got great progressive candidate who happens to be from my town.

Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

Hey Schumer! Hey Jeffries! This is what leadership looks like!

This is actually hilarious. Doesn't seem like AI is ready to take over the world just yet.

Another plane crash, this time in Toronto.

Aviation has always been one of the great joys of my life, even after I had to stop flying. This makes me feel a bit better about having to give up one of my favorite activities.

This is a must read. Trump has never stopped talking about how our beautiful country is "a nation in decline". Well since he took office he has made it so. I can remember growing up in the 50's and a popular phrase was "It's a free country".... /1 open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

This is funny not funny. Their corruption is only eclipsed by their incompetence.

Every Tesla owner should feel shame at this point. And anyone buying a new Tesla at this point should be considered a traitor to the US Constitution.

Good read. And important. Don't skip it.

From our European friends. What a perfect description…and… Wiles = Bormann Miller = Hess Hegseth=Goering Kennedy=Mengele Leavitt = Goebbels Musk = Speer

"You wouldn’t think it possible that a Federalist Society member and former clerk for the archconservative Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia would show more grit in the face of Trumpism than the entire leadership of the national Democratic Party, but here we are" www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

The only difference I see is that the ones on the right have beards. That said, a few of those on the left probably do too, if ya know what I mean...

Holy shit the cognitive dissonance is making my brain vibrate.

For anyone interested in the DCA mid-air collision, the NTSB has come out with some new findings that are pretty shocking.

Jesse is right. Fuck you I.C.E.! Fuck you and everyone who works for you. Fuck Tom Holman and fuck that anus-mouthed asshole who's giving you orders. I sometimes wish I believed in Hell so I could tell you that y'all are going to wind up there. Fuck you all. Now come and get me assholes.
