And Stephen Fucking Miller.
Hi, Joan! Nice to see you on bsky!
Are they throwing politicians?
Not to mention the $50K ICE signing bonus.
He would be on the other side of the grass.
. Labor Day in Trump's America . . . 💠 😔 💠 .
🐥 need a political break ? 🐥 #Catsky #Dogsky #Kittens ♥️
Chicago keeping art alive:
Also, NPR and your local affiliate!
Remember that ICE got $175 BILLION in the Big Ugly Bill, and they’ve been recruiting with big signing bonuses.
This is my favorite picture of him. (Eww)
Remember, he picked the press corps, and the courts let him. He allows only right-wing reporters in.
He’s a walking Dunning-Kruger Effect.
The Dunning-Kruger Effect at work.
I grew up on the south shore of Long Island. You’re right.
What. The. Fuck. Is. He. Talking. About.
Congratulations, Dr. Smith!!
Assault with a deli weapon!
Absolutely right.
Of course, since he’s the presi … (can’t bring myself to say it), everything he does is considered newsworthy.
I’m sure Tr*mp is outraged about the mass shooting in Minneapolis. Because it pushes him out of the headlines.
Exactly. Anti-choice plus anti-sex education plus anti-contraception is just punishment for women for the sin of being women.
It’s just one county in NY.
Only the ones that have Black mayors and governors!
They charged him with assault with a deli weapon.
There must not have been a date on the post I reposted it from.
I’m just the reposter. *shrug*
Instead, they’re taking those things away. No more Head Start, no more Meals on Wheels, cuts to Medicare and Medicaid. Cuts to health care, especially for women and the rural poor.
As George Conway said this evening, what Tr*mp is doing is just a power grab. If the administration wanted to reduce crime, there are things they could do to reduce crime: better education, prisons that actually reform prisoners for return to society, Medicaid or Medicare for all, job training./
I believe we’re starting to understand why the Big Ugly Bill allocated $75 billion in new funding to ICE. It’ll take a lot of fascist thugs to occupy all the major cities in the US, and to run all the concentration camps for Democrats, racial and ethnic minorities, and protesters.
Great minds think alike. See my most recent post.
Tr*mp’s administration has bought, or taken over, 10% of Intel. The government owning the means of production isn’t even socialism — it’s communism. Did no one explain it to him? And what happened to the second half, “To each according to his needs”?
If Democrats are playing chess, but Republicans turn over the board and the table and throw the pieces on the floor, they’re not playing chess or even checkers. If Ds keep trying to play chess by the rules, they’ll lose.
We have to gerrymander in order to get enough political power to win the presidency + both houses of Congress so we can pass an anti-gerrymandering law.
Texas Republicans actually said that their gerrymander was intended and designed “to improve Republicans’ political performance” in Texas and create five R districts for Tr*mp. They are a disgrace to American democracy.
Come on, New York! Step up, Governor Hochul!
If he’s impeached and convicted, he’ll be removed. I think at that point, the paralyzing fear that he creates in members of Congress will peel away. He already has a 60% disapproval rating. Congresspeople just have to get more afraid of the voters than they are of him.
Really? I’m sure Tr*mp doesn’t know that, and none of his vassals dares to tell him. Regardless, P*tin doesn’t want the US to have it.
And now he interrupted his meeting with the leaders of Europe to call P*tin and get another forty minutes of instruction and reinforcement. The United States government is being run by Moscow. That didn’t take long.
Tr*mp came back from Alaska spouting P*tin disinformation. P*tin played him like a fiddle, alternating flattery (“This war never would have started if you had been president instead of Biden”) and lies (“Mail-in voting is corrupt and voting machines can be rigged”). Tr*mp swallowed it all whole.
Frankly, I’m certain that gun violence causes a great deal of additional mental illness.
I’ve heard that it doesn’t, but I can’t give you sources.
I keep hearing “The guns aren’t the problem; mental illness is the problem.” Then why do you want the problem to have a gun?
#NeverForgetTheEpsteinFiles
Made me laugh.🤣
I’m so sorry. It’s very hard losing a furry family member.
Most of the time, the people who object to a book haven’t read it.
The only way to stop political gerrymandering is by federal law. In order to pass a federal anti-gerrymandering law, the Democrats have to win both houses of Congress and the presidency. To do that, we have to gerrymander blue states. So let’s stop reacting to Rs, stop dithering, and just do it!
Visiting #Canada! An #American visitor speaks out about what it’s like to come to Canada and enjoy the #freedoms that have been lost in the #USA. #ProtectDemocracy #Freedomsandrights
This made my day. I’ve been starved for good news.
Tr*mp has paused his ambition to take over Greenland, Canada, and Panama in order to carve up and give away pieces of Ukraine. In doing so, he encourages Putin’s ambition to creep toward European NATO countries. There’s big trouble ahead.
It looks like a cicada-killer wasp. They’re solitary and not threatening if you just leave them alone. But I don’t know if they’re found in Ireland.
I’m sure he deserved it. He probably tried to grab her by the p*ssy.
I’ve loved archy and mehitabel since I was a child. Don Marquis was a genius.
Someone forgot to take down this webpage: www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/v...
It is possible that both (a) the militarization / dictatorship slide of our government is a distraction from the Epstein files and (b) the Epstein files are a distraction from the militarization / dictatorship slide of our government.
Welp
Good, honorable … See, that’s your problem.
Exactly.
Maybe the female “doctor” who thinks people have sex with ghosts and demons — remember her?
He “broke with the mainstream”? Who the fuck writes these headlines? He’s going to kill a lot of people with misinformation and disinformation, canceling research on deadly diseases, and pushing “alternative cures.”
There were another 50 or so in Mount Kisco.
I LOVE Jeff Tiedrich.
Schumer is a waste of space.
Iceland drew the short straw. Let’s encourage Jabba to view the volcanos up close.
The seat was empty because Biden’s nomination of Adeel Mangi to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals in November 2023 failed. Mangi faced vicious Islamophobic questioning in the Senate, including bullying from Cruz. Democratic senators cut a deal with Republicans that prevented his confirmation.
Interesting ay?
Love this!!
Two months — how many scaramuccis is that?
Every day is International Cat Day.
Every day is International Cat Day.
What a stupid, misleading headline.
It’s not a sputter, it’s a death rattle.
We need a “loyal opposition.” One-party states are dictatorships, and we have to get off that track.
It must have been a mind-altering parasite, like Toxoplasmosis gondii or Plasmodium falciparum. It’s working to protect its kind.
Unfortunately, his swim in the bacteria-polluted creek didn’t work.
Cancelling $500 million in vaccine research is exactly what a virus would do if it ran the Department of Health and Human Services.
You’re right. “The actual Enumeration shall be made within three Years after the first Meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within each subsequent Term of ten Years …”
I bet they’re all the same chipmunk, coming back to the salad bar for more.
Don’t just react to whatever Texas does. Act! Redraw blue states now, and take any other actions we can to retake our democracy. Democrats have to seize the initiative and take charge.
On this Chairteenth, we celebrate the good folks of Montgomery, especially our guy AquaMayne. Special shout out to the folks who, within 72 hours, recreated this in their apartment complex. A COMMUNITY!! 💀
Democrats, progressives, liberals — whatever you call yourselves — stop REACTING and ACT!!!
A number of Democratic governors are now saying that if red states redistrict to create more Republican districts, they’ll redraw their states to create more D districts. I say, screw what the Rs do — just redistrict our states now! For some D states, the process is long and complex. Get started!
Disgusting!
The Court says it’ll discuss whether to review her appeal in September. She’ll be long gone by then.
It’s not possible to fight from the inside. If they write something Bezos (or Tr*mp) doesn’t like, the Post won’t print it. If they voice an objection on another forum, he’ll fire them.
No she won’t. She’ll walk out of camp and disappear.
I canceled my subscription almost a year ago, but I had just paid for another year so I can still read the occasional article or op-ed. I wish I hadn’t canceled, because now I want to cancel again.
