I’m currently more upset by the death of a character in the book I’m reading than I have been by the actual deaths of real people I personally knew. I’m not entirely certain if that’s a poor reflection upon me or upon them… but I have my suspicions.
I sift through what’s excreted and separate the stimulating from the crap. Also: it’s a metaphor. Relax.

Many of them claim Obama was president during 9/11, so, yes… calendar is hard.
Peter Thiel and the others controlling JD’s puppet strings do know what they’re doing, however. That’s the concerning part. Their puppet will do their bidding.
If you’re a convicted felon and your character witness is your dear old friend, the convicted child sex trafficker and enabler of your other dear old friend, the most notorious raper of children in modern history, you’re definitely a total piece of shit.
Here’s what was NOT released today: - the proffer agreement between Maxwell and the DoJ - the agreement transferring Maxwell to club fed - communications showing who waived Maxwell’s sex offender status allowing her transfer and possible work assignments outside prison - the Epstein files
Every activated Guardsman has a family, a job, school, or something that they are leaving to do their duty. It’s one thing when it’s a war… or a real mass civil disturbance, which those only last a few days. But to rip these people from their lives for a show… is awful.
It’s the fact that our president can wander onto a rooftop, look lost, make wild gestures and shout random things to reporters and Republicans will find a way to excuse the behavior. Every time.  I fear we are doomed.
Sometimes I write eloquently. Other times, I just write, “Well, duh.” This is a time when “Well, duh.” Suffices.
still thinking about the Montana knife maker who said you don't have to worry about tariffs if you buy american. and then three months later, he realized he imports swedish steel and german equipment. and even MiUSA equipment costs $100k more now because of tariffs
I hear some people saying that private donors are going to pay for the "White House Ballroom." I'm pretty uncomfortable with oligarchs owning both the White House and the President.
"Trump will piss his pants and say it's Biden's urine" - John Fugelsang I heard this line on his SiriusXM show a couple weeks back and almost had to pull over I was laughing so hard. It continues to be proven true, and still makes me laugh so hard (also cry a little)!
To be clear, I wasn’t alone. Her dad & brothers were helpful. So was LOTS of therapy. & group therapy. & parents of suicidal teens classes. & hospitalizations. &… But she’s doing great now. She’s happy and fulfilled in her career as a teacher, and even has a Masters in social & emotional learning.
My daughter was suicidal for nearly three years. I often used “tiny reasons” like these to help her find a desire to stay alive. Nearly nine years later, she’s happy and healthy, and has been for several years. Hang in there, folks. The world is a better place with you in it.
That’s a lot of words to say, “I’m a whiny little bitch and I’m gonna do something mean if everybody doesn’t do what I want!” 🙄
If your dentist says you have a cavity: fire her! If your doctor says you have diabetes, fire him! If your mechanic says your alternator is shot… you know what to do!
The rest of the world doesn’t think Trump is making America great, and we’re paying the price. 📌 Fewer travelers are coming to the U.S. Can’t imagine why. Masked ICE agents, mass shootings, a president who slaps tariffs on Canada, lying that it’s about fentanyl when it’s really about control.
Olympic level cognitive dissonance.
We told you they were going to do project 2025 and it’s 2025 and they’re doing project 2025
I remember when this happened.
The best part of every week
Because sometimes we need to see a creature helping another creature learn to breathe. Friendly reminder: take some time for yourself and just breathe.
Yeah, I definitely not understand the folks who want him to “just die, already.” Death is easy. Too easy.
On multiple big-screen TVs, sports bar style, in full brightness and volume. NOT synchronized.
Sweet dreams!
He’d be unable to dress, feed, or toilet himself. He’d be fed only healthy food he despises, by Drag Queens. The lights would be on 24/7. Make that STROBE lights! The TV would ALWAYS be on MSNBC. Any non-annoying commercials would be drowned out by very LOUD Sesame Street songs. Suffering is GOOD!
YES! I do NOT want him to die. However, a stroke which would cause him to lose the ability to speak & control his limbs would be delightful. He needs to be able to see, to hear, to understand, but not to be able to express his thoughts, feelings, or desires. Decades of frustration would be perfect!
CBS would never cancel a show for political reasons.
Hey there guys! Good morning!
A man who sleeps with an “underage girl” is rap*ng a child and a ped0phile. A man who participates in “forceful s*x” is actually called rap3, and being a rap*st. For some reason predators want to ignore the terminology and reject who they are. Label them, shame them. Call them out.
Benefits of protesting 1. I don't feel alone. 2. A healthy way to express my anger. 3. Alleviate my feelings of helplessness 4. Meeting like-minded people 5. Learning to organize And most importantly is screw these nazi wannabe. This is my country and you can't have it. Land of the free!!
The Salvadoran government has confirmed what the U.S. government has repeatedly denied: the U.S. remains responsible for the 200+ men disappeared to CECOT, including our client Andry. It's been 117 days with no contact. 🔗 www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...
Congrats to Lisa Murkowski on voting for a bill that she herself admitted was not ready in hopes that the House would change it. Now it’ll become law. She had the power to stop it, and instead chose to become complicit. That’s her legacy.
When your neighbor on the left is being dragged away by masked men and your neighbor on the right can't get an X-ray for their child, be sure to quickly explain that "both parties are the same" and whatnot.
GOP: this bill is fucking terrible. It’s going to kill people, explode the deficit, and completely kill the renewable energy market in the US. Also GOP: so anyway, here’s why I’m voting for the bill
Genuine question: what evidence do you have that they are not investigating the disappearance? Do you have a list of all on-going investigations? Do you work for Culver City PD? I don’t understand how/why you have determined what you are asserting. I’m just trying to understand, not accuse.

I’m going to imagine that, just after the video cut off, Ruiz said, “You can’t just make shit up and call it factual!” However, I’m not going to actually assert that he did that. I’m not like RFKJ.
Ruiz: Why did the report include citations that don’t exist? RFK JR: All of the foundational assertions in that report are accurate Ruiz: How can they be accurate if they did not exist?
Brownshirt ICE rolled up to my local Home Depot today and got the F-off treatment. Shoutout to this woman because this is exactly how it’s done. No badge, face covered = F*ck all the way off. 📌 It’s on us citizens to stand up for our vulnerable brothers and sisters.
Touché.
Libertarianism: All of the rights with None of the responsibilities.
Okay, buddy.
Some thoughts on the current situation with Iran. Screenshot from the bad place.
MAGA Friday: No new wars! MAGA Saturday: Ok bombings but no regime change! MAGA Sunday: There’s really no other solution than regime change.
You didn’t vote for Kamala because you thought she was a warmonger and you spread that message to others. How you all holding up tonight?

So… People seem to think that we’re just done now? We bombed the shit out of three nuclear sites in a country we weren’t at war with, and that’s just… it? Oh, my sweet summer children.
Lemme get this straight: my 23 year-old is gonna get drafted and die for the sake of Israel (Netanyahu) because Americans thought that voting for a woman was a bad idea? Are you fucking kidding me?!?
We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.
PSA Neck gaiters are not masks. Neck gaiters are not effective at stopping the spread of airborne viruses. Masks, especially well-fitting ones are effective at preventing infection. Conflating the two is bad because it can encourage politicians to ban masks for the general public.
And this lifelong Dodgers fan thanks you. Rivalries are good. So is solidarity. Cheers!
Tax cuts for the rich? Check. Economic recession? Check. War in the Middle East? Check. Protests in the street? Check. Yep… it’s a Republican administration!
Was Kegsbreath under oath? Seems that lying to Congress under oath isn’t advisable. Except maybe, this Congress.
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."
One of the most spectacular tricks that the “wellness” grift has managed to pull off is convincing people that their industry is untainted by money. That they are all doing it out of their deep concern for their customers’ health. Yet the global supplement industry alone is worth $177 billion.
Thinking about the Lindsey Fish today
This is not normal. A sitting president refusing to call the governor of a state after two elected officials were shot, one fatally, is beyond words. A typical president, regardless of politics, would pick up the phone. Offer condolences.
This administration is so out of control, they’re using federal agents to rough up public servants like it’s a damn police state. But sure, tell us more about “law and order.” (2/2)
Release this at the next film festival. Call it “Metaphor.” Give it ALL the awards.
It constantly blows my mind that we have elected someone so gobsmackingly uncomprehending of the gravity and responsibility of his office that he does not grasp how insanely dangerous it is to fire off comments like this on a whim.
TL,DR: The one guy sucks a lot, but the other guy sucks way more. Choose accordingly.
The marching was so sloppy, HS freshmen after their first week of marching band camp would be embarrassed by it.
Our able men and women in uniform swear an Oath to support the Constitution—they didn’t sign up to spend the weekend in a military parade to feed the insatiable narcissism of an incorrigible insurrectionist/dictator.
Just want to take a moment to shout out the international reporters helping us get the real story out. When an 80-year-old veteran with a walker is hauled off with his hands zip-tied behind his back, and the media spins it as a “threatening breach” of a police barricade
I just got back home to finally sit down and watch the parade footage and it’s 100x more embarrassing than I expected. I totally forgot the weak nations that do these spend decades perfecting them. It looked like if Fyre festival did North Korea.
Our military deserves better than this empty charade. Yikes. The tank squeaking over silence is incredible.
www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...
I assume the service members out there today realize that the tradeoff for the cost of the parade was probably a million things that could make their professional lives better and safer. What a shitty way to treat the people under your command
A reminder to reporters, when historians look back on this moment with the president throwing himself a military parade and the people throwing No Kings rallies across America, the media sources raving about the former and sneering at the latter are going to be quoted by name. This is your legacy!
PSA: If you’re protesting today, turn the biometrics on your phone OFF. No facial recognition, no fingerprint, PASSCODE ACCESS ONLY. Law enforcement can make you unlock your phone with those, but they can’t make you use your passcode. That gives you a case in court should they go that route anyway.
That was the first thing I thought of.
But how do we not congratulate Aires for catching their tail?!?!? Thanks for these and for making the humans smile.
The "I'll lower costs and get us out of endless wars" candidate is now presiding over surging costs and brand new wars.
The irony of Tucker saying, “Don’t let the propagandists lie to you” is a bit overwhelming. I’m gonna need a moment.
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.
Lost the confidence of the American people?!? How can someone lose something they never had?
Detaining and manhandling Democratic Senator Alex Padilla? Donald Trump's Gestapo is out of control.
This guy actually fought back. Did you watch the whole video? I agree that many just sit there and take it, but this guy at least made an effort.
Um… what Federal permitting?!?!?
An unimportant non-sequitor: that same anchor, Carolyn Johnson, hosted my daughter’s Girl Scout Gold Award ceremony. She was inspiring!
Why is ICE arresting employees but not employers? DOJ policy is to charge the most culpable people. The employers would seem to qualify.
So it begins. Discussions are underway within the administration, and Pentagon, about deploying National Guard or active-duty troops to cities beyond Los Angeles. We’ll be sending updated guidance to all coalition members. Please follow every step, even if some sections seem irrelevant right now.
ICE was "responding" to the chaos ICE itself created. It was not responding to the way LA is without intentional provocation from ICE. And now the National Guard is "responding" to the chaos ICE created. It is not responding to the way LA is without intentional provocation from ICE.
He’s definitely doing something to your city that starts with F. The country, too.
To anyone who wondered, what could go wrong if we elected as president a highly volatile, deeply dishonest, simple-minded cretin with a revenge fetish, the answer is THIS. All of THIS.
Project 2025 playbook—Trump wants to enact martial law. It’s a set up. If you protest, keep that in mind. DO NOT GIVE HIM AN EXCUSE! Share widely...

They’ll cheer for whomever Murdoch tells them to root for.
The really critical thing to know about the Trump/Musk throw down is that the “Big Beautiful Bill” would explode the debt, exacerbate economic inequality, and cause cruel and grievous harm to the most vulnerable Americans and we really should be talking about that a whole lot more.
this is like drake and kendrick lamar but they're both drake
Omg
I'm so over this lying, puritanical pixie.
For Handmaid’s Tale fans.
