Things Republicans want you to forget: 1. The Epstein Files 2. Slavery 3. Thomas Matthew Crooks 4. Science 5. What should number 5 be?

Itās probably just my hearing, but "immigration enforcement" sounds a LOT like "systematic voter suppression in Democratic cities."

I absolutely do! I posted and predicted that last year! šš¤£š³
I wonder if he can lie, cheat, and sue his way out of dying. #letsfindout
I wish conservatives had the same level of outrage for the ongoing & methodical evaporation of womenās rights as they do about the new Sabrina Carpenter album cover.

RFK Jr. says antidepressants cause gun violence, Vance blames his blow up with Valenskyy on Biden, & Trump puts in a gift shop & spends millions on a home heās supposed to leave in 3 years. My anger needs focus, but I always start with FOX preying on the uneducated for decades without consequence.
A very strong & powerful resignation letter from Dr. Daskalakis calling out RFK jr. āI am unable to serve in an environment that treats CDC as a tool to generate policies and materials that do not reflect scientific reality and are designed to hurt rather than to improve the publicās health.ā
Now we can officially add ādoesnāt understand magnetsā to the list of character deficits one can have and still be President.
Thank you!

Itās time to start paying closer attention to my change. How new is this?
Loyalty over qualifications is the standard for this regime.

Yep. Iām near Erie and Live / Public Affection was a huge influence and inspiration for me in my band days (bass player hereā¦ :)
Oddly enough, I felt that way went Jimmy Eat World went from Clairty to Bleed American. Iām certain Iām in the minority on that one.
Really looking forward to tomorrowās motivational acronym for the new teaching year. #welcomeback #education #teaching
Wow. Both great choicesā¦agreed.
Whatās one follow-up album that was a huge disappointment at the time? Not because it was bad per se, but because the previous album was so strong. For me, itās Secret Samadhi by Live. Throwing Copper was a huge influence, and I donāt think anything could live up to it. #musicsky #music
This wasnāt what I thought it was. www.charlotteobserver.com/opinion/arti...
They should have gotten whoever fixed his āwoundedā ear to do a better job on that hand.
again thereās a whole segment of the population that has an incredibly amazing arsenal that they claim they need because one day the government will overreach itās authorityā¦not only did they welcome it with open arms..they havenāt done a fucking thing to stop it
'Every member of the military...is required to disobey illegal orders'. Succinctly put. All the National Guard folk out on the streets of Washington should be made to watch.
Well-played! (Also intended)
It seems Iāve reached the age of life where, after playing a video game for the first time in years for over 2 hours straight, my fingertip is now permanently numb.
My next pet shall be named Hober Mallow.
The relief felt by millions when a convicted child sex-trafficker compliments the President. Nope, no cognitive dissonance here. #apocalypsesgottaapocalypse
Iām no conspiracy theorist, but after watching Trump loudly project every illegal thing heās done on his enemies, it would take nothing for me to believe he stole the last election. And will do so for the next one.
What?!? Lower case letters?!?!
I couldnāt stomach the headline, let alone the article.
Yep. šÆ
The effort is worth it if you can convince even a single person to shift their thinking. Dropping a pebble in a lake sends ripples that can reach far, and even if you don't think you have much effect, a single conversation can shift a person's perspective over time. š
Very well-said, Sean. And thatās my hope.
I get that. The MAGA movement has done a thorough job of tapping into existing frustrations, preying upon the uneducated, and conditioning followers in how resist anything that counters the narrative, no matter how irrational the response may be. I just canāt stop trying. I wish I could.
Agreed. The trick for me is finding a way to point out the barrage of inaccuracies & lies without giving the other person the escape hatch to immediately dismiss me. Itās a battle Iām unlikely to ever win, but I donāt know how to not try. And since they seem to love stupid catchphrasesā¦ š¤·š»āāļø
We need a specific word for how FOX News continuously lies to its viewers and also commemorates the fact that they paid $787M to avoid admitting they intentionally mislead their audience. āFoxtionācomes to mind - something untrue & invented by FOX - but there has to be something betterā¦?
šÆ!!!
Sooo many people are probably just unaware. And taken advantage of. I just looked at him and smiled, then left.
Oh, Iām not. And good for you! Itās just staggering to me that it was presented as a great option. How easily people can be preyed upon.
Even as I continue to get emails and letters about the repeated AT&T data breaches, the store agent tells me - with a straight face - that the best way to lower my bill is to set up direct pay through my bank account.
Heās not able to remember who heās in a room with. Who exactly is orchestrating all the unethical and illegal things being done for him? www.nbcnews.com/business/mar...
Iām packing up orders for shipping today! Remember, if youāre not in Georgia, thereās no sales tax. $6 flat shipping for as many records as you want, or if youāre buying just one CD, choose cheaper First Class! buymycomics.com
Loved Condorman. It was movie magic to my childhood self.
Other European leaders joining Zelenskyy at the Golden Waffle House to resist capitulation says volumes about the world today, and specifically how far the United States has fallen in terms of choosing those who were to embody the ideals we once stood for. Things are very fucking far from okay.
so nice!
#Teaching today: āThe EXCITING NEW CURRICULUM will be delivered via PlayStation games! Weāre giving you a BRAND NEW PS5 for EVERY kid.ā They fail to mention youāre not getting the power cable or controllers and then tell you itās also illegal to buy or create your own. Now get those scores up!
Ask Putin to protect the children while they protect the Epstein Files and cut a deal with Maxwell. Classic MAGA! www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...
Billy Joel & Steven Wilson. š¤·š»āāļø
Terrible. So comically over the top Iād swear it was intentional.
I feel like āpatriotismā should be defined by caring for others and wanting everyone to have the same rights as you do. No offense to guns, bumper stickers, and trucker hats, of course. šŗšø
Be well. See you when the time is right. āØ
Youāre not wrong.
The National Guard in DC. Putin in Alaska. Marijuana. The gilding of the White House. When will pardoning Maxwell will be slipped in amidst the noise?
Dammit, I did mean Alaska. Sigh. Deleting nowā¦

Exactly. I was baffled. š¤·š»āāļø

Whatās the proper reaction when a disgruntled concert-goer storms out of a #DoobieBrothers show half way through the set, saying, āFuck this! I didnāt come here to see a Michael McDonald concert!ā?
Hahaā¦nothing wrong with some Pharcyde! That said, āā¦is Deadā is in my top 10 for sure. Enjoy!
So good. If you have access to De La Soulā¦is Dead, give it a spin. Fantastic sophomore album.
Although it still feels like they are, doesnāt it?
Iām in my āno more Taylor Swift vinylā era.
I kinda feel like that National Guard should have showed up on Jan.6 instead ofā¦you know, now, when crime is down and treasonous insurrections arenāt actively happening.
How many games will the Steelers lose by stubbornly keeping Rodgers as QB1?
It took the first episode of Platonic Season 2 showing up in my āContinue Watchingā column for me to remember that Platonic even existed. Even then, I had zero recollection of what it was about, or of having watched Season 1. Not a good sign.

Hatred is a confession. The louder someone is, the guiltier they are.
Nope. This season must be ten episodes.
I was also hoping this weekās episode was the finale. Sigh.
And here I thought Smoke couldnāt get any darker. Yikes.

If someone told me upon finishing the Harry Potter series that JK Rowling would become known as an anti-trans activist, Iād have said thatās as likely as Donald Trump being elected president, denying science, inciting a treasonous insurrection, and then getting elected again. Shows what I know.

#nowplaying #vinylsky Just waiting until another new #afghanwhigs record is announcedā¦
Itās surprising to me, the comics professionals who hate this version. I thought it was pitch-perfect, in every possible way.
Seems to be.
Sigh. I desperately hope weāre wrong.
I feel like the mid-terms next year are democracyās last hope, but I may be too optimisticā¦
Anyone else feel that by the time we make it to the next Presidential election, elections wonāt matter anymore?

Thanks, Sean. Iām sure it will. āØ
And I mean personal / familial drama, not the āour country is dyingā kind. I know better.
One day without drama, please. Just one.
Nothing says āguiltyā quite like making a deal with a child-trafficker.
It seems a surefire way to consolidate power is to 1) make up a boogeyman that gets the angry, disenfranchised, and uneducated even angrier and then 2) take credit for defeating the imaginary monster while blaming the whole thing on your enemies. Iāll see how it works out for me at my job.
Sigh. āRabble rousers.ā
