Next Saturday is the day we turn out in force to finally make MAGA and Republicans understand that the 70% isn’t rolling over for institutionalized grifters, Nazis, bigots and sociopaths.

LISTEN TO ME ⏵If you don’t find a way to spend at least 2 hours at this event next weekend, you ARE part of the problem. So PLEASE do us all one favor: don’t be a part of the problem.

I can’t believe this SCOTUS SSA ruling is not the ONLY tonight. This means virtually all our Social Security info (and all its linkages) are now freely available to any friend of Elon Musk. It’s fucking insane. Remember, even FUTURE SSA recipients (i.e. YOU?) are in those databases.

How much more of this lunacy do we take, America?

If you haven’t read the details, Ukraine just changed the game of war, forever.

Ayup. I’ve been posting this for years :)

My dad [Neil Postman] predicted Trump in 1985 – it’s not Orwell… it’s Brave New World

Just overheard 2 workers building the house next door:

Worker 1: Know any trans women?
Worker 2: Yeah, my kid’s GF

Worker 1: Your kid’s a homo?
Worker 2: She calls it queer

Worker1: What do you call it?
Worker2: Her god damn business. Fuck off.

It doesn’t get more Dear Leader fascist than this. If we accept this, we’re the most spineless culture of the modern era and deserve to lose our freedoms.

THIS is what I go thru with MAGA muttonheads at least once a week.

MORE OF THIS, PLEASE, JOURNALISTS. A LOT MORE!

Trump Press Secy BRUTALLY FACT-CHECKED in real time

We just keep following the words and ideas of the least capable among us. That really worries me. Maybe that’s always been society’s worst instinct, but I can’t help thinking that we’ve stopped innovating, and stopped progressing because the worst of us are now driving the bus, and capitalist commercial drivel has compelled too many to think that the fantasy drivel of the Marvel universe is real life. Will anyone remember or care about Shakespeare, Descarte, Baldwin, Dickenson, Mann, Twain, …

Again, if this were all a movie, you’d walk right out, disgusted by the sheer idiocy of it all. But here we are. Here the fuck we are.

They have simply applied Joey Overton’s window to economics. You push so far to one side that the previous extreme seems more acceptable.

The Right is now gaming Threads the same way they did Twitter. They plant tropes and narratives meant to incense and divide liberals.

I use all four major platforms. The only place people seem consistently smart, engaged, and CIVIL, is Mastodon. Bluesky is next.

Trump’s Tariffs Are Already Reducing Car Imports and Idling Factories - The New York Times

Seriously, MAGA America, what the fuck did you expect to happen when you voted for someone as utterly unqualified as Donald Trump? Don’t bother blaming him. It’s all on you dipshits. All of it. Fuck you.

Any questions?
