Semi-retired mom (because, you know, that's a position from which one never actually retires). Professional dabbler, ardent Democrat, and too old to watch my mouth. Superannuated hippie chick whose "Peace & Love" supply is being siphoned off. Sad.

This is not leadership. It is abasement to norms that no longer exist.

This is the first good idea I’ve seen actually

Don't be shocked if Trump removes sanctions against Russia because Trump is a Russian agent. #TrumpIsARussianAsset

If America ever had any claim at being great, it was because of programs like these. For a minuscule savings to the federal budget, hundreds of thousands will suffer and die. My contempt for the people who did this knows no bounds, and the sooner we can get them out of power, the better.

Would you like to help Ukraine directly? I would, so I did. You can, too. u24.gov.ua

So he was drunk or lying.

"We are potentially heading into the next World War because we have a President that wants to pal around with Putin and wants to do everything to make him feel good, including lying about who invaded who." 🔥

Marge is wrong. We are not broke.

True. One thing that I feel is if this is their mission? They're gonna wipe out more of their side than ours. I don't want anyone to die, but I'm also not gonna cry over their stupidity.

💥 BREAKING: At John Deere's annual shareholders meeting today, shareholders overwhelmingly rejected an anti-DEI proposal brought by the same group that targeted Costco and Apple. An anti-DEI proposal from the NCPPR received less than 1 percent of votes. Deere shareholders: DEI is in. Bigots are out

in addition to being a contemptible liar and hollow opportunist, jd vance is also just pathetic. only a guy who has fried his brain on social media would even think to say something like this

JUST IN: Ontario Premier Doug Ford says he is canceling a $68 million contract with Elon Musk’s Starlink internet services in response to Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canada. “Ontario won’t do business with people hellbent on destroying our economy,” Ford said.

In honor of black history month, I will be doing a daily thread of James Baldwin quotes. If you have never heard of the late great Mr Baldwin, he was a trailblazer in so many ways. If the weather is crappy where you are might I suggest “I Am Not Your Negro” a 2016 documentary.

Let’s keep spreading the truth.

To all my American friends: We Canadians are well aware that there is only one person to blame for the trade war against our country - the Felon In Chief. We will fight because that is what we do, but our anger is not against you. Our bond will endure. 🇨🇦🫶🇺🇸

Do yourself and democracy a favor. Support independent media.

Incredibly moving Justin Trudeau remarks: "We have fought and died alongside you....During your darkest hours...we were always there. Standing with you, grieving with you, the American people....Canadians are a little perplexed as to why our closest friends and neighbors are choosing to target us."

Dear Leaders of the Free World, Fight him at every turn. Make his life miserable. Expose his ignorance and sociopathy. Oppose and condemn and marginalize him. The decent people of this nation are not with him. We stand with you. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/dear-world...

The Hegseth hearing is doing one thing incredibly well: it’s establishing that when his leadership at DoD fails, it’ll be clear that GOP Senators knew, excused it, and they own it. Serious concerns about experience & judgment are literally being laughed off.

America isn't a democracy, it's an auction.

I can’t love this more.

Quick update Bluesky: ever wonder why there are no sharp images of these “drones” when many people have good cameras? 👇👇

Perfection.

At least twelve to fifteen years ago, a friend sent me that "hamburger" card, and I put it on that whiteboard. As soon as I did, that phrase came to me, so I wrote it on the board as well. Many phrases are more profound, but few are more true.

In Iceland, on Christmas Eve, people give each other books so they can spend the evening drinking cocoa & reading. It’s called, Jolabokaflod, the Christmas book flood. I’ve never been more in love with Iceland than I am right now ♥️♥️

Pretty damn spot-on, don’t you think?

Land doesn’t vote. Stop pretending it does.

If I had a dollar for every time I've warned people about this, I'd have a billion dollars.

Fair warning: I'm a low-road democrat. This account will pursue the relentless mockery of fascists, and a willingness to urge leaders to break norms for the sake of democracy. And cat pictures.

Totally despicable when you think about it. Every other developed country could figure it out.

A video showing the toppling of the dictator Hafez al-Assad’s statue in the Syrian city of Latakia and the removal of the old regime’s flag. Crowds are celebrating this morning for Syria’s new future.

I want to watch TV coverage of the live fall of the Syrian regime. CNN is airing a Giuliani documentary, Fox News has a comedian joking about Canada, MSNBC a documentary about migrants So I turned on BBC,which is breathlessly switching between Syria, South Korea demonstrations, and Ghana election

So who owns all our news media companies? Disney owns ABC; Warner Bros Discovery owns CNN; Comcast owns NBC CNBC MSNBC Telemundo; Newscorp owns Wall Street Journal & other national, regional & local newspapers; ATT & Viacom are two of the six corporations that control 90% of the media in the US
