Just heard a talking head in CNN say “she wasn’t afraid to throw around the Z-word - you know, xenophobia”

Are we not men? No! We are Devo.

@FlashMobOfOne I listened to Schumer explain himself - I think he’s actually right. Basically he’s saying a government shutdown gives Trump legal and unilateral control over the government, effectively rendering all lawsuits to reinstate people moot. And the Courts themselves would be subject to his whim - he could simply close any court that disagreed with him. A shutdown would be Trump’s Reichstag Fire.

I think I was wrong and Schumer’s right on this.

Spare me the performative outrage over Chuck “Surrender Monkey” Schumer and *do* something.

I say we call for a one-day work stoppage on Tax Day, April 15. Take a personal day, call in sick, whatever, just don’t work that day, no matter what your job is.

Read it before it’s outlawed

Seriously - the decomposing centrists in the Dem party have to give up their death grip. They have no new ideas and no plan that doesn’t involve a lot more losing.

Emergency legislation introduced to "prohibit funds for the Armed Forces to engage in operations to invade or seize territory from Canada, the Republic of Panama, or the self-governing territory of Greenland"

“White Kanye”

The equivalent of your CEO telling you to drop all the firewalls on your servers.

“Hatebeak is an American death metal band, formed by Blake Harrison and Mark Sloan, featuring Waldo (b. 1991), a grey parrot. Hatebeak is reported to be the first band to have an avian vocalist. They never tour so as to not distress Waldo.”

Yeah, it’s hypocritical, but so what? Americans have shown clearly that nothing matters anymore, so no one’s going to care. I say Biden and the Dems should go absolutely hog wild these next 2 months. Leave Trump to clean up a ton of shit. Give away half the Pentagon budget to blue states. Raise the corporate tax to 75%. Expand the Supreme Court to 25. Why not?

@feld I don’t know if you have AppleTV+, but this episode of their excellent speculative show “Extrapolations” takes place in Miami in 2047. I liked it quite a bit.

As I’ve said before, Florida is dead already - it just doesn’t know it yet. Good luck trying to get (or keep)?home insurance.
