Playing guitar, writing songs, wondering why and doing it anyway. In another 40 years I could be great... or decomposing.

Especially bad for the entire country because these idiots will not accept responsibility for all the children who will die because of it. They will blame everyone and everything but themselves even if they have to tear the whole thing down to do it.
Please don't make me agree with Rand Paul. He's been in for a penny all along but suddenly doesn't want to be in for a pound?
Are you saying we could lose 250 pounds of ugly fat overnight? I'm in. I'll give up donuts for a year!
The Republican Party is the greatest friend a mass shooter could have.
Mark this day as the death of expertise at the CDC. All we have between us and the next pandemic are a bunch of horse paste eating conspiracy loons.
They're coming for everyone who objects.
The craziest thing about this Cracker Barrel story is that Donald Trump was best friends with Jeffrey Epstein for decades and publicly admitted to trafficking young women to him out of Maralago.
James Dobson (RIH) once said that the Sandy Hook Elementary School deaths of little children was a judgement by God because of American acceptance of gay marriage. I wonder what James Dobson's death is a judgement of--and why that judgment was so long in coming after such a vile utterance?
PSA: Don’t forget to “ask yourselves this question daily”
We support you, Dave! Glad you're there.
Every day I’m inspired by the bravery of these courageous ICE agents.
I was also told by my mom to stop singing Tom Lehrer songs on the playground during recess. Apparently National Brotherhood Week was not appropriate for an Orange County elementary school.
Holy shit, who did this
Depends upon the browser, but it can be done
Good work. I loved it too. I could listen to you all day. And I have. 😂 a few times.
Trump 2017: "It is my pleasure and my honor to announce my nomination of Jerome Powell." Trump today: "He's a terrible Fed chair. I was surprised he was appointed. I was surprised frankly that Biden put him in and extended him." Every news story will include both clips, right?
This is total bullshit. My family are farmers and ranchers in California and for 64 years I have only ever seen two Caucasian people ever even want a job, let alone stay with it for any time at all. There are going to be shortages in the grocery stores because of these fools.

Ow! My balls!
Trump is a tyrant who is laying the groundwork for ethnic cleansing, and the mass repression of political opponents. As an Ashkenazi Jew, there really isn’t a scarier situation to find one’s self in. The idea the threat to American Jews comes from the left is completely deranged.
The President—who uses antisemitic slurs—is building concentration camps and an enormous secret police force. Ya know, maybe this is just because I’m Jewish, but I wish the political opposition and the media made a bigger deal about it!
Ronald Reagan: “Anyone, from any corner of the Earth, can come to live in America and become an American…This, I believe, is one of the most important sources of America's greatness.”🇺🇸🇺🇸
Florida brings in over $127 billion a year from tourism, nearly 8% of its economy and it relies on your vacation dollars. Just like the Tesla boycott, withhold your money. Don’t fund cruelty.
I have vivid memories from childhood of seeing PSAs on TV against “prejudice,” segments on Sesame Street about how we’re all the same, that amazing sledge-hammer subtle Star Trek (OS) ep with Frank Gorshin and the half black, half white aliens, etc. I suppose it would all be illegal DEI now.
If it took 8 days to build a massive concentration camp in Florida then it means they could build and house the homeless at any point but choose not to
They're definitely getting grabbed by the felon in chief.
Great conversation covering the many ways Trump & family are profiting from the Presidency and using opaque financial instruments to do so. @hcrichardson.bsky.social @zacheverson.com
REP. @maxwellfrost.bsky.social: “THIS IS AN EVIL BILL. It’s going to rip away health care from 15 million Americans, and food assistance from millions — to give tax breaks to the richest, and mega corporations.” #TrumpsTrillionsTransfer
Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.
It’s every parent’s nightmare, isn’t it? you check your child’s bulletproof backpack and find a picture book about gay penguins
The left better start figuring out how to weaponize today's decision rather than just (rightfully) criticizing it. - Go back into Judge Kaczmaryk's court to dissolve all of his nationwide orders. - Pass gun bans and insist any order applies only to plaintiffs.
Got nothing to add to the expert commentary on SCOTUS. But: it’s one more iteration of a common phenomenon of this time: people with immense power seeming to live in a different reality over those they rule.
Supremes say parents can opt out of letting their kids listen to LGBTQ stories. Can parents similarly opt out of kids listening to stories that DON'T have LGBTQ themes or incidents? 🤣
Yes, I agree — it would be terrible. Please do NOT share this information!!!
World War 3 kinda sucks, but you know, it was either this or pronouns
In ALL wars leadership oft slips into hyperbole. In this one we will be in a constant state of bold-faced lies. There is a difference.
A Dem lawmaker and her husband were killed by a guy for their political views and it’s already out of the news.
Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far: A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.
Viewer tips: If you're looking for Iran news on mainstream TV, BBC right now is SO much better than any of the US outlets. Dramatic, and should be studied in journalism world.
do they have a Nobel Reckless Fucking Moron Prize? thank you for your attention to this matter
Please call your senators about this. This is not a reversible policy. Once they sell off these lands, they're gone for good.
He lived to destroy. He has the heart of Saruman.

The latest tweet from the pilot fish.
They've got enough money to throw us into another war, but not enough money to fund the suicide prevention hotline. Very "pro-life." Very "pro-family." So "GREAT."
I'm amazed so many US citizens are willing to become Gestapo. I always wondered how super villains managed to recruit so many henchmen. I guess it's easier than I thought.
Arresting elected officials. Scooping immigrants up at the courthouse doing the right thing. This has nothing to do with criminals. It's quotas. Fucking cowards.
oh, you won't catch me doing that. nosireebob!
@bestese34.bsky.social Terry Moran was fired for calling Stephen Miller “bile” but… Sen. Mike Lee can make a joke about killing a MN speaker and remain in office. Mike Johnson can call for the “tar and feathering” of the California Governor and remain Speaker. Do I have this right?
It's a good district, it's Poway school district... showing a bit of wear and tear, but still pretty good.
I'm gonna try to make it to your San Diego stop. Stay safe.
Rancho Bernardo was awesome. Great turnout and no bees! Feel better soon!
ICYMI — Some harsh self-criticism here: “Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. He’s weak and he’s ineffective.” (He was talking about Obama 😬)
Rancho Bernardo in San Diego turned out! Joyfully defiant and defiantly joyful.
Seeing all the kids was the best part of the protest today. They were so proud.
She must resign
Excuses to avoid the protest: -I don't have a sign (Use cardboard and markers/crayons. You don't have to spend money, I promise.) -I don't know anyone who's going (Me either. But I'm gonna go and yell my head off) -It's pointless (Nope. The American people have power & we can exercise it)
I'm praying for ICE agents today. May they not know a moment's peace until they quit, and seek amends. May their children revile them. May their parents regret them. May they know they deserve the hatred and distrust of their countrymen. And may all their tomatoes be underripe and flavorless.
And just like that, U.S. forces are involved.
This is a new golden age for dirty, violent cops who think the law is whatever they say it is.
Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.
There’s obviously a lot going on right now, but the Speaker of the House calling for the Governor of California to be tortured seems like it should be a pretty big story.
Trump's latest shitshow is to detract from inflation and his ruinous tariffs. As Hitler and Stalin knew, in times of trouble, find a bogeyman.
WATCH: “Here’s the big scary LA protest — look: you don’t see the cops or the National guard here… are there any fires or chemical smoke? Wonder why that is.” The people are peaceful. Law enforcement is doing the escalating. Intentionally. This has always been Trump’s plan.
There are like five conservative social media apps, including one run by the president of the United States, and it’s weird how we never get a Washington Post editorial about how divisive and unwelcoming they are.
In the last 20 or so minutes I’ve seen LAPD officers shove women to the ground without provocation, rip a sign out of a man’s hand and then swing a baton into his leg and raise a less-lethal launcher to aim directly at a protester (which I’m 99% is a major policy violation.)
Did anyone do research into Gestapo morale?
At a time when we need a courageous media, corporate-owned outlets are cowering
“I tasted a little tear gas. It tasted like fascism.” ~This Hero
And that all this destruction is his responsibility.
Similarities between ICE & the Gestapo
The original sin was failing to send Donald Trump to prison for the rest of his life for mounting a violent coup to overthrow the election of 2020.

If you hate Pope Leo XIV because he is too “liberal”, I have some very bad news for you about Jesus.
Someone needs to dissect Stephen Miller.

Just looks more distinguished when you're choosing just the right donut for the day.
I know a lot of lefty friends are taking up shooting and arming themselves. Do you see any scenario where this is a reasonable idea, or are we starting to tilt toward paranoia? Thanks as always!
San Diego March
I'll try to send you photos from ours.
Tell me again why we’re letting a 78 year old, legit smelly, odorous, frail, loser old man who bankrupted a CASINO bankrupt the country? Congress? Any answers?
If our democracy dies, this is its epitaph

Hi folks: Facebook appears to be taking down my posts. Please remember they are available for free here (no paywall), and can be received by email (also free-- just don't put in your credit card information). I guess if I'm being banned I'm doing something right?

Judge Susan Crawford just dropped a video against her opponent for a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court: "How corrupt is Brad Schimel?" Get out and vote for her, Wisconsin! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Power corrupts. absolute power... you know the rest.

I love this idea.
If Trumpty-Dumpty is working with the Russians to screw up America, he's doing a great job. Eggs, $11 a dozen. Health & Human Services down the dumper, ditto VA. If you call Social Security, they tell you to call back later. Guys 'n gals, this is more fucked up than Peter O'Toole on his birthday.
Prices are soaring, your 401k is in the tank, Social Security phone lines are hours long. Instead of addressing any of that – this administration is picking a fight with Denmark.

It doesn't bode well for the US that the leaders of the intelligence community are such bad liars.
Every single Democratic lawmaker should be calling for Hegseth's immediate resignation right now. Not just some. Not just a few dozen. Every single one, starting at the top with Mr. Schumer and Mr. Jeffries. And the fact that it hasn't happened yet is nearly as shocking as Hegseth's conduct.
