PLEASE take 30 minutes to watch this excellent summary of the most blatant corrupt acts in the first 6 weeks of the Trump administration. We cannot let them normalize corruption just because it is being done so openly. THIS IS NOT NORMAL youtube.com/watch?v=hyco...

If you’re the leader of the free world maybe don’t say “No one knows what that is”

Mark my words: Russia just got a green light to do whatever they want in Europe. Trump will supply him weapons, diplomats, and intelligence. Today’s interaction between Trump and Zelenskyy just might have started a global war. World War 3? Time will tell but only a fool would rule it out.

I am disgusted. Embarrassed to be an American today.

Folk music is America. Always.

I thought the same thing!

I work at Fox News because its critical that Americans hear opposing viewpoints about the critical issues in our public discourse. Right now, Trump voters are having buyer's remorse. Approval ratings are down. Constituents are fed up. It's just the beginning.

The moment you realize you can make a difference is the moment you are obligated to.

Got this amazing set of children’s books and the parental/instructor guide today (1939). Children’s literature will always be for everyone and I have no room in my world for those willing to ban stories. #bookstagram #reading #childrensliterature #kidlit

I was pretty sure I was done having kids but always kept the door open to more. After the past month however I can undoubtedly say that I will not bring another child into this world and certainly not into the USA. To do so would be setting the innocent kid up for…who knows what. Not worth the risk.

Still a little jarring to me that we went from “You’re overreacting about Trump” to “Look, Nazis really had a point when you think about it” in the span of, like, a month.

I think it’s time Dems apologize to Al Franken and get him in a race again.

“Keep politics out of _______!” That’s not how it works. That’s not how it ever worked. Politics is inherent in every facet of daily life. If you’re just now realizing that then I congratulate you on what has been an easy life. Welcome to reality. You’re gonna hate it here!

The richest unelected man ever decided that poor people have too much and deserve to have less. Billionaires have deemed poor people not poor enough. If you believe in Jesus and support Trump/Musk you don’t believe in the Jesus. You’re a hypocrite at best and lying piece of trash at worst.

If you’re still going off against the Halftime Show yesterday it’s time for you to just bust out the Hard R and get it over with.

Republicans losing their gotdam minds over Kendrick is just perfect. Question is are they losing their minds because he’s black or because he’s calling out a pedo and they know who their boss is? Both? It’s both.

Elon still hasn’t found a single instance of fraud. None. Zero. He’s a fuckstick.

Outspoken and out-of-fucks-to-give Huffman is best Huffman.

Last year I read all 900+ pages of Project 2025. I warned everyone I knew about what it contained, who was at risk, and what would be done that can’t be undone. I was told to stop fear mongering. I was told I was being alarmist. If you’re one of the people who told me that I say to you: told you so.

I’ve been living in the same home as a transgender person for 15 years and I have yet to be “transed”. I’m starting to think it’s not really a thing…. 🤔

Mitch McConnell fell twice today. Even gravity is like “Fuck this guy!”

THIS is The Machine we in our 40s have been preparing to Rage Against since the 90s!!

Lots of passive racists being very not passive with the Beyoncé win at the Grammys. Yikes! You know people can read what you’re typing, right? Anyway - I’m not a country fan and not necessarily a Beyoncé fan (just not my cup of tea) but Cowboy Carter was 🔥

Hope everyone enjoys their last ever tax refund. Assuming Elon allows the money out this year do you honestly think Trump and him will allow anyone to claim a refund next year? They’ll collect and raise taxes for sure but no one’ll qualify for a refund. Save this post and check back in 2026.

If you can’t keep people from learning about history, just don’t let people learn at all. This is worse than fascism

Gotta ask yourself why Trump signs all his orders at night. He knows how bad these are. Evil working under cover of darkness is supposed to be a literary trope not a method of governance. But here we are.

So right now Trump is the Billy Bob Thornton president from Love Actually and Justin Trudeau is Hugh Grant.

A third plane has crashed under his watch. It was a medevac flight with Mexican nationals aboard. Is he going to blame DEI, Mexicans, or Pete Buttigieg?

Trump just said he found and cut a program that was buying FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS worth of condoms for Gaza that were given to Hamas, who then used them to make bombs. The President of the most powerful country in the world said that. Just now. It's on video. If you voted for Trump you are an idiot.

Spoke to someone today who said they hated disco but loved house music. What? How? You can’t get to house without going through disco.

The US government denying the existence of and actively denigrating and attacking transgender people is the most immediate threat to national security that America is currently experiencing. Why? Because the number 1 employer of transgender individuals in the world is the United States military.

Imagine calling yourself a Christian while defending priests who rape children but then becoming livid when a clergy member implores your preferred rapist to act in the most basically Christ-like manner possible. Just wow.

This is worth another watch

I usually post Counting Crows’ A Long December on the 30th. Not this year. It starts “A long December and there's reason to believe / Maybe this year will be better than the last”. I don’t see that being the case. Here’s to hoping I’m completely incorrect. But I don’t think I will be.

Shove your thoughts and prayers even further up your ass this time since this is a Christian school.

Good morning and Happy Sunday to everyone who knows that Democrats always grow the economy, and Republicans always fuck it up while only focusing on making the rich richer. We have to break this idiotic cycle.

It’s 2024 and men are still referring to their wives/girlfriends as their “old lady”. And they are quick to complain about how their wives/girlfriends won’t have sex with them. Total mystery, big hoss.

This is disgusting.

All Too Well (10 Minute Version) is one of the top 10 best songs of the 21st century. That’s just a fact.
