One of my all-time favorite books! (I don't remember the movie, but I MUST have seen it. Need to watch it again.)

Well, we DID get nice titles. :)
I was once a GS 13. Made FAR less than my peers in private practice. Money is NOT why professionals go into public service.
Laughing at all the gullible repliers who believe "we" (whomever that is) - Newsome? The State of CA?) 🤣 are really going to put out a memecoin.
It's one thing not to trust any politician. (And I don't deny that GCN is a opportunistic as any.) But calling him a wannabe "dictator" is absurd.
He sure looked like he was bullied, a LOT, at that age.
"Should have went" says it all.
would make a much more notable statement and would show the strength of the resistance. A one-day strike would be even better. No? END
I've asked before and will try again: Wouldn't it be better to ask everyone to protest in agreed-upon spaces, on agreed-upon days, rather than having them 'trickle' out in small numbers everywhere? Seems to me that the latter just sort of normalizes them into invisibility, whereas the former 1/
Nope; the Government never said the children wanted to return. It said the Government of Guatemala told the US that the parents wanted the children returned.
Same!
I don't think the victim in the first picture will be testifying.
Follow "allow yourself to be wrong" by "and when unhappy, sing a song." :)
Honest question: Is it grounds for a child's asylum claims that their parent(s) are abusing them? (I'd think not.)
FYI, both are part of DHHS
He's reincarnating as JFK, Jr. He's laying low 'til the transformation is complete. ;)
"Picking up trash" is NOT a nice way of saying "arresting homeless people." ;)

Oh, dear. I was just joking! No offense was meant. :o
Maybe because, by firing all the GS 15s, he's helping with Doge's dirty work.
Au contraire
He doesn't seem to be able to focus on anything. ;)
Darn: you beat me to it! :)
Oh no: he's going bald! :(
They forgot: "Gerald Ford dead today after being shot by Squeaky Fromm."
Maybe this... bsky.app/profile/team...
OMG! :) :)
Bad person: NO POLITICS on Nextdoor!
Yep - Coffman's in the coffin. ;)
It was gross.
Correction: "Well, we all are going to die. For heaven's sakes. For heaven's sakes." (Just saw it again on the news.)
To quote Jonie Ernst, "well, everybody dies." ;)
There's NO role for "alternative facts" in the law.
This can't be real. The "judge" doesn't seem to know much about the law.
Looks, to me, like he recently had an IV there.
Yes. Like Alice's Restaurant Massacre. For those who don't know it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaKI...
Except Ochs had a much better voice!
I was thinking it's Dylan-esque.
Excellent!
The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it. ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures. Losers with power become the most dangerous kind. (c/o Caroline Codsi)
I believe you mean "proclevity."
You've inspired a new noun: "Dicktator." I think I'll use it in a protest sign. :)
So do I (suffer from it but not post my feelings). It seems like the people who post in advance about anticipated failure, are just giving up on fighting, and THAT depresses me.
Maybe he is just too stupid to know he's an idiot.
i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.
His voice is sounding more and more like RFK, Jr.'s. I hope it doesn't get worse!
I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns don’t kill kids, antidepressants do. Just shut up. Stop peddling bullshit. You should be fired.
Why is it called a "BMT," and I hope there was real BM in it. :)
Isn't it odd how all these government officials (Schiff, James, Cook) are suddenly guilty of mortgage fraud? (And I wonder what evidence the Trumpists could find or even access, to support the accusations).
Because liberty interests do not include freedom from stench, germs, and breathable air?
I can relate to most of this, but my cats aren't at all opposed to some chaos.
What was that red light she ran under his chin all about??
What's up with the big bruise on his hand?
DJT: Always projecting.
come credibilty, because at least there's a complaint to show for it (and an interview with the alleged victim). But she dismissed it, after, she said, receiving threats and fearing for her safety. (I do believe HER.) www.politico.com/f/?id=000001... CF: www.politifact.com/factchecks/2...
private, which is what made me suspicious in the first place. Just because you see some BS on X or TikTok doesn't make it true. Now, before you think I don't believe DJT is a rapist and child abuser, I do believe it. But the BS you cite is jus ridiculous. Here's one that at least has 2/
Oh, indeed I do have access. That's why I asked you for a source. Because there seem to be no reliable sources for any of the claims you cite, not even a court complaint that subsequently was dismissed. Settlements are almost always 1/
Wrong
Interesting. Source, please?
If that's what you "get" about my replies, then you are a bigger idiot than I thought.
Lemme guess: You have an American-made car. I do not and do not have a VIN visible through any window.
I now assume it is because the law in question applies only to AMERICAN cars.
PS: Do you know what "I don't disagree" means?
Well DUH. If THAT's all you know about the women whom DJT or girls whom DJT has assaulted, I can assure you I know a lot more about it than you do. Just because he assaulted several women (and/or girls) doesn't mean he knew Guiffre.
all of her testimony and statements, why would Guiffre never have mentioned DJT? END
Because no employer ever knows when an employee leaves? Because no employer's good friend ever tells him that they just hired his former employee? Why the hell would he know the 14-year-old towel girl working at MAL, along with her father? In 1/
"Nice one"? Wow, you seem nice. Do you know what "for American cars" means?
I don't disagree. But to the extent people are interpreting that as DJT having raped or even known Guiffre, I think they are dead wrong.
"vehicle's DMV registration and a metal plate on EITHER the driver's side dashboard OR the driver's side door jamb." (Emphasis added.) www.egattorneys.com/alter-vin-ve... END
Maybe things have changed. I have a couple of old cars w/out VIN on windshield & have never seen this, but it's not like I have looked for this in recent years. However, here's what some random CA lawyers say about this: "[The VIN] is found on the 1/
I know this. She worked at Mar-a-lago. (Her father worked there and got her the job.) But she didn't know DJT; he made the statement in the context of Epstein having stolen on of his (MAL's) employees.
Must not be a law in California.
I strongly suspect it's not IF, it's WHEN Trump shuts down this site. Establish contact NOW with folks LOCALLY who are organizing against fascism, friends. And set up on other social media sites. (Yes, Mastodon kind of sucks, but it's the one that's least likely to be killed by fascists.)
Oh yes, now that you mention it, I think I saw that vid, too.
Maybe California's different, but I've never seen a VIN in a windshield, in my long life! (Only on the side of the driver's door.)
They are both.
I saw a demolition derby in mud; never saw one on ICE. :)
They probably just stole the plates from others' cars. 🙄
I can easily guess the reason for the firing of the one on the left.
What makes you think boys were involved in the Epstein "enterprise"?
To no one? How about to Epstein?
I believe Guiffre has stated that she never had anything to do with Trump. (Katie Johnson, on the other hand, said he violently raped her and then threatened her life if she talked.)
PS: Most are no longer "girls." ;)
Probably a combination of traumatized and terrified of what would happen to them if they do. At least 2 have stated that they were told, at the time, that their lives would be at risk if they talked about it.
There's lots of info about this, e.g., a good documentary about Epstein and accounts of various victims. (Sorry, I no longer have the cites.)
What makes you think that?
You're talking about DT Sr, no? I think the post you are replying to is referring to DT Jr.
At least they didn't smash the window (for a change).
#DisbarHabba!
Geez, I already got an opposition flyer in my mail today - possibly before the bill even passed. :o
WTF?!
The speaker said she was 10 when *the woman next to her* was trafficked. "That's how long [this] has been going on."
You misunderstood. The speaker was saying that she was 10 when the woman next to her was trafficked. "That's how long this has been going on."
Release the Epstein files! Victims deserve Justice, predators are active bsky.app/profile/did:...
