Susan Collins should actually be *concerned*. I'm not sure if Maine wants this, but I've been waiting to hear someone tell everyone who Collins is for more than a decade.

Fxcking hell, this is insanity.
Most empathetic? Huh. That brain-eating worm didn't leave him with much residual cognitive function, did it. Chrissake.
I have said REPEATEDLY that no one should try to diagnose Trump from a distance. I also said to @timodc.bsky.social two days ago: Let's not assume we know about his health and have our own Death of Expertise moment. I realize this makes me no fun.
RFK Jr rushed to Rudy Giuliani's side following a major car accident. His medical bag packed with jars of leeches to bleed the poor Mr. Giuliani and raw milk to keep him strong caused a stir in the hospital due to the odoriferous leaking jar of pig urine the good JR brought to sterilize wounds.
Rubber necking?
All of Giulianiβs life events that I know about hit like season ending cliffhangers where youβre like βHowβs he gonna get outta this one?β People forget that Four Seasons Landscaping debacle was All Him, which is understandable because he also committed actual sexual harassment in a Borat movie.
Reporting live from Giuliani's hospital bed
Judge Sparkle Sooknanan issued a restraining order to stop the Trump regime from deporting 10 unaccompanied migrant children to Guatemala, citing a violation of U.S. laws. #ProudBlue #DemVoirce1
They would do this to children? They will do anything to anyone in this country to impose their ghastly will on the rest of us. Democracy is ours to lose. "I said, come on, people now Smile on your brother [and sister] Everybody get together Try to love one another right now"....
And worse, the christofascists are trying to 'provoke' the apocalypse. They only love Israel for its geographic significance, not any support for the Jewish people. Oddly (or perhaps not surprising) Islam has a similar endtime story. Arrogance is driving this as much as anything.
In some places in Europe they call moose - Elk. I found that very confusing at first.
The opposite of albinism - melanism. Coolness!
I can't think of a more perfect way to sum up what is happening in all corners of life + politics in the late-stage capitalist oligarchy hellscape that is the United States: "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it." -Upton Sinclair

today's Giuliani news feels like when you're watching season 5 of a TV series after they've already added so many new characters & plot lines that you can hardly keep up, & then for some inexplicable reason, the writers bring back some random character from season 1 and you're like WTF?!?
Chalk. A weapon of mass education.
Really great podcast. They really can unravel the whole Wellness Industrial Complex. Endlessly fascinating.
You win the internetz today!!!
Absolutely - Make Street Beautification Great Again!!!!
Heβs providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
It's cool to be cynical? Misguided purity of action? Watch the documentary "Merchants of Doubt" and see how this learned cynicism is promulgated among the population, degrading trust in our institutions. Part of why Finland is the Happiest country is that they trust their institutions.
It's the "Merchants of Doubt" effect. By split screening an actual health professional against someone like RFK you are giving a platform to confuse an issue & muddy objective facts as 'subjective'. The idea is to directly cause people to lose faith in truth & facts. It's dangerous to a society.
#NIH is hanging by a thread. The #CDC has been decimated. #RFK Jr. and Russell #Vought are psychopaths--I don't say this frivolously--they are cold, calculating, inflicting violence on millions through public policy. It is where we are right now. These men are not normal. 1/
If Ashli Babbitt's parents really wanted to avenge her death they would, instead of pitifully whitewashing her legacy, be suing Fox News for filling their child's gullible head with dangerous nonsense that directly led to her death.
Ashli Babbitt died doing what she lovedβbeing a domestic terrorist.
The Department of Homeland Security is reportedly barring states and organizations that receive government funds from helping undocumented immigrants. This will make it harder for the most vulnerable people to get help in the aftermath of disasters. It was always about cruelty.
Little kids are having to use their bodies to shield friends from gunfire while armed soldiers are busy picking up trash.
Ashli Babbitt was a domestic terrorist who was shot while committing a violent crime that demonstrated a clear intention to do bodily harm to the people on the other side of those doors. The officer ended the threat she represented...as they were required to do by lethal force if necessary. It was
A couple of months ago, the Navy dishonored civil rights hero Harvey Milk by removing his name from a ship. Now, the Air Force is dishonoring itself by celebrating a domestic terrorist called Ashli Babbitt.
I see Josh Schriver is introducing a bill in Michigan to allow employers to fire women if they had an abortion. So yeah it literally always will be about them controlling women
Is there a chalk fundraiser we can donate to? Iβd love to see a rainbow on every sidewalk in the land.
I have recently purchased a subversive weapon - a box of chalk. There are some sidewalks that need to be more colorful around hereabouts.
It took cops three hours to finally go into the Pulse nightclub the night of the shooting. If you wander near a crosswalk in Florida with a piece of chalk right now you'll have four cops on you in under five seconds.π€·ββοΈ
Ah...sea steading. That is passΓ© - Network states are the new 'craze' for the oligarchs & technobros. They want the rest of us to be serfs to their egos, sci-fi stylings, & crypto so that they can 'innovate' unimpeded by pesky things like regulations & accountability. www.wired.com/story/startu...
He starts randomly jabbering on about getting into heaven. Mysterious bruising on his hand. He disappears from the public eye for days. Even a child would suspect something was up. Everyone but Congress and mainstream media.

Yeah, man, totalitarianism is when people listen to experts. Good talk, always a pleasure to hear from you.
SIGNS OF FASCISM πͺ§
So glad they're focusing on the true menace to modern society: the color spectrum. π
IIIer tatoo - that speaks volumes.
Unless DeSantis plans on having them watch the crosswalks 24/7, Orlando is gonna win this battle.
It's called 'grimly amusing'....
WE'RE ABOUT TO PUT A MEMECOIN OUT π
Good night π andβ¦.
GORKA: Instead of blaming an inanimate object, which is the weapon, how about addressing the human being instead? KEILAR: DHS cut funding in July to the Minnesota Dept of Safety and the Hennepin Country Sheriff's Office in July that is the kind of funding used to assess mass violence threats
Why is Gorka still a thing??? If humans are the problem, why do we let so many of them have assault weapons.
That Paula White Cain has convinced him that he is ushering in the Rapture & Jesus is coming back to the 'hood.
Finally, someone is repeating what I have been saying about the pathetic intellectual state of the American populace in the year 2025. π³π
When the Trump regime's reign of terror comes to an end and the magnitude of their crimes are revealed to the public β America is going to have its own version of the Nuremberg trials. Trump is already death warmed over, but Stephen Miller is going to spend a long time in prison.
What's good for the goose is good for the gander: While the loathsome piece of shit is attempting to have brown-skinned people's naturalized status revoked, Melania Trump's citizenship is being called into question. π³π
How much more evidence do we need to certify this guy is mentally incapable of doing his job! π₯΄ππΌ

Despite the false alarmβ¦ I think itβs important to note that you should live your life in such a way that the entirety of the world does not celebrate at a mere chance of your passing away.

Welch: As someone who lives in a red state, let me just tell you what MAGA supermajorities get you. We're 50th in education. The worst in the whole country for women to live. We're poorer, worst health care. And if you look at the bottom ten states, they are all MAGA supermajorities.
If what we hope will happen ever happens, we'll watch as many, many people in the world of politics, overnight, go on to pretend they were always against what preceded it. This era has been a highly effective acid test for character. Take notes now, so that you don't forget in the future.
It might be something heβs considering, but martial law in itself wonβt stop an election. He doesnβt have the authority to cancel an election. And if people are going to try to stop us from voting? Good fucking luck.
As a taxpayer, are you ok with how the government is spending your tax dollars, why canβt you ask your governor to withhold all of the states federal tax dollars until the federal government starts using them in the manner that they should. Control the purse and you give power back to the people.
I'd restate that to "Everyone now in a uniform will have to MAKE their choice. Sooner or later. Best make them before. After is only tears"
Looking forward to the American Nuremberg trials. You know, if the courts survive...
"I don't have any choice. I mean, sure I went to the recruitment event, took the signing bonus, agreed to execute the will of a dictator and support the rise of a fascist regime as one of the modern gestapo... but it's not like I have a choice here."
I've been thinking the same. The IQ47 Admin is poised to strip all funding of federal programs in our my state - a blue state. A state that gives more than it takes. I say f*ck it. It's our money we earned it and if the red states don't appreciate that we do so for the common good - then f*ck them.
i'll fight for Canada and Mexico, neither of those countries have deliberately fucked me over, nor do they send troops and masked bandits to our cities and neighborhoods to abduct and kill our citizens, they are definitely not my enemy
Amen to that
I love this ad by Gavin Newsom! Must watch πππππ

Yeah...about Lee.... F*ck Heritage
We can't even play basketball π π€¬
Every single one of these Nazi Gestapo scum need to be dealt with. We need our own Nuremberg trials for all these fuckers.
Lie Lie Lie Liety-Lie-Lie Lie. As a health care provider I would cry if this wasn't so laughable....
Foremost public health experts....oh for goddess's sake. These people.
Inhuman. βI donβt have any choiceβ is a lie.
Tell you what - let's swap. CA takes WA, OR, CA creating the great province of Cascadia & Alberta can go to be a new county of TX. We even have a cool flag for Cascadia. #SlavaCascadia
Brilliant!
Just noticed this on the checkout notification I get from the Chicago Public Library. I think itβs new and I love it!

This man is disgusting.
If the human heart is the reason for gun violence, why do we keep giving humans guns???? Assault Rifle Ban Now!
Mike Judge's only mistake with "Idiocracy" was setting it 500 years in the future. It's no longer sci-fi, it's a goddamn documentary.....
LOL!!!! π You got that right!!!
there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...

Day of Mourning in Kyiv. No music in public spaces, no concerts, no festivals. Yesterday, russia killed 23 people in Kyiv - among them four children π Iβm having my warcoffee in mourning silence.
A rose, by any other name, smells as sweet...something something..... I think you are on to something pretty important.
They won't. The Norwegians aren't idiots.
This 100%. The rest of us are simply non-character players in their zero sum games and dreams of complete domination. F*vk 'em.
The mascot's death will be covered in spectacular fashion, and then he'll be replaced with a new mascot. Fatty McFuckwit is just there to blow thru guardrails. He was always disposable once that was achieved.
