Reminder: Zelenskyy refused to leave Kyiv as bombs fell. Donold hid in a bunker from protesters with cardboard signs.

Did Anyone Not See This Coming? open.substack.com/pub/steady/p...

DOGE is not worth engaging. You can’t cut your way to a federal government that does more. www.epi.org/blog/doge-is...

@richardblade.bsky.social can you play some more Depeche Mode? I'm on the road in PA today listening to 1st Wave to make the miles go by a little quicker on my way home.

Happy Sunday. Day of rest for us here in my homestead. Watched White Fang with the kids. Going to watch some football later. Hope you all have a safe day.

Happy Saturday. Keep your head up. We're going to make it through this, this too shall pass.

Happy Thursday evening. You survived another day. Keep smiling, it's important.

Michael Fanone live on CNN: "This is what I'd say to Stewart Rhodes: Go fuck yourself"

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯

It's Tuesday morning and I am sitting grateful with a warm cup of coffee in my hand, a cat on my lap, and a dog at my feet. Life's pretty good in the moment. Make today a good one everybody!

Happy Friday the 13th to those who celebrate. 🐈‍⬛

Happy Sunday, hope you had a good one or will have a good one if you're just entering into the day. Was a great one in my neck of the woods, kids performed at a nursing home with their musical troupe and then my son played in his concert band's holiday show. Music heals the savage soul.

Michael Steele says that DOGE should start with slashing Elon Musk's "padded" contracts. "Let's be honest about what we're talking about here, employees are not your problem." 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Our institutions don’t defend themselves, we do. Don't be distracted by Trump's chaotic appointee picks, focus because there's a long fight ahead.

Congrats to CNN for Lowest-Rated Week in Decades, It's Well Deserved My New Post:

Elon has no self awareness, what does he think he and Vivek are?? 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🙄🙄

Elon Musk spent a quarter of $1 billion to get Cheesus elected. Citizen’s United has to go. Tell us again how he’s going to cut wasteful spending. www.cnn.com/2024/12/05/p...

Cheesus' second choice for AG, after Gaetz went down in flames, is raising red flags among legal observers, not related to her threats to go after Cheesus’ enemies. Pam Bondi works for a big lobbying co that represents big businesses that are under gov’t scrutiny. www.rawstory.com/pam-bondi-tr...

GOP Representative John Duarte, who just lost his seat in the elections, explicitly tells Reuters that farming interests in his California district depend on undocumented immigrants—and that Trump should exempt many from removal. newrepublic.com/article/1890...

In the “Who didn’t see this coming?” Category: Cheesus recently hosted several members of the German political party, AfD, whose leaders have defended Nazi war criminals. Their leader is a former porn actor, self-confessed former cocaine user, & convicted thief. www.rawstory.com/trump-nazis-...

Well, made it to Friday again. About to take the kids to a Santa in the Barn event put on at a local dairy farm that does a lot for conservation. Support local. Love the Earth. Have a groovy weekend!

If you see this post, can you please help spread this information? #ASafeChoice is a referral network of physicians who provide medication abortion services ACROSS THE US. People everywhere need to know about this option. These doctors have capacity to help more women! Let’s spread word! ❤️✊

The incoming prez is a Bible-hawkin’, guitar-sellin’ convicted felon and dirty old man. How did we get here from Abraham Lincoln? 🤣

Good morning and Happy Hump Day to those who celebrate. Take a deep breath and keep moving forward. Progress sometimes happens at a glacial pace; don't let the fact that you can't see change right away discourage you and fool you into thinking that what you are doing isn't working or doesn't matter.

What landslide? Trump will win by 1.5% points, one of the most narrow margins in history. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Do not lose heart or hope for democracy. We’re not going to make it easy for them to just take it from us.

I hope you all had a very nice day today, can't wait to wake up tomorrow and plan more resistance. Hope stays alive.

Republicans vigorously defended Kyle Rittenhouse when he murdered two people with an AR15, but they wanted Hunter Biden to go to jail over lying on a form. The fact that Republicans will just switch positions whenever it benefits them is why I think Biden's pardon was justified.

The eradication of disease through vaccination is likely the greatest achievement of mankind. Please remember that when the barrage of bullshit begins.

We’re new here! Let us introduce ourselves! We’re Path to Progress, a no-holds-barred nonprofit led by Gen Z fighting for a prosperous future free of fascism. The next four years will be rough but we can get through them together by resisting Trump’s dangerous agenda. Let’s get started!

🚨 BREAKING: Senate Democrats just confirmed their FOURTH judge of the week, marking 225 confirmations under President Biden! LFG until the last day! 💪

🔺️ BREAKING: NBC reports that as many as six Senate Republicans are uncomfortable with the Hegseth nomination. It's time to light up the Capitol Switchboard and urge your Senators not to confirm Pete Hegseth for Secretary of Defense. ☎️ 202-224-3121 www.google.com/amp/s/www.nb...

ICYMI: An Obama-appointed federal judge in #NorthCarolina has rescinded his decision to take “senior status,” making him the second Democratic appointee to pull the reverse retirement card on Donald Trump before he takes office... STORY: lawandcrime.com/high-profile...

Local union leaders in Pittsburgh are furious after Trump voiced his intent to block the U.S. Steel-Nippon deal on Monday. Steelworkers Local 2227 Vice President Jason Zugai, who spoke at a Trump rally in October, said Trump's statement was "frustrating" and "like a gut punch.”

Contemplation for today…. if you LIKE IT give it 💙and plz RP😘😘

Today we used a local library's "Library of Stuff" to borrow a family pass to a local museum, visited said museum, watched a local theater perform the nutcracker for free, and enjoyed every minute together as a family; spending next to nothing. Sometimes the best things in life are, indeed, free.

Today is a great day to send letters to your Senators demanding they oppose recess appointments for Trump—please share!
