I’ll never forget their stupid votes. I was just an ordinary political junkie, and I knew that war was bullshit. I’ll also never forget Rep. Barbara Lee, who stood strong against invading Afghanistan. She was right.
Journalist who believes in FACTS & nothing else. Adept stock market dabbler. I love cats & dogs. Trump is pure evil. I live in a Texas blue dot.

Congrats on your regime propaganda, ABC News.
The mayor of Baltimore drastically slashed crime despite close proximity to Virginia with its lax gun laws and it was a blip in the news cycle and then a return to the only way to stop crime is law and order. We are a cruel, punitive country with a national press that loves facism.
Illinois guns come from Indiana. Here in Texas, we arm the Mexican drug cartels. Seriously, we do. 😩
30 years of craigslist: design for regular people The constant feedback I've seen is that people use craigslist to make their lives easier in the here and now. That requires a design that gets to the point fast and doesn’t change much. (Continued...)
You helped us through the really sad process of clearing our parents’ homes after they passed. It would have been much more difficult without your service. Thank you Craig.
Anyone who thought that narcissist was going to resign is nuts. His entire goal in life is to stay out of prison.
Indeed. Also heartbreaking is that in the first weeks of Covid, everyone in our community was making and wearing masks, taking food to the elderly, etc… then Fox and Trump started downplaying the danger. People began to die. 😢
This malignant narcissist is most likely only alive now because he received monoclonal antibodies when he had a Covid which should alert any idiot to the importance of mounting an immune response with Covid vaccines.
16 died in our neighborhood. Refused to accept the threat, and were going to “live their lives.” That’s when my husband and I realized the GOP was a death cult.
I remain forever angry that we spent so much money to keep this sack of bile alive while good people were dying.
I sometimes wonder if we’re not native to this planet. Earth would be humming along quite nicely if humans weren’t on it.
I’m glad @emptywheel.bsky.social wrote this. I’ve been watching Noem in recent weeks and wondering if Kilmar Abrego had an actionable slander claim against her? It seems like she has no proof for any of her slurs.
I love this, but with respect to the Pez company, I think the dispenser should say PREZ. 🙂
Second day of school. Kids in Kyiv are hiding underground from russian drones instead of attending classes.

Although I hate that we used nuclear weapons, I grew up listening to the stories of my grandparents — Fascism and Nazis had to be fought no matter what. Sad to see how many have forgotten the legacy of those who sacrificed for our freedom. As the old saying goes: Freedom is not Free.
WWII ended 80 years ago today, as Japan surrendered on the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay.
What really pisses me off is that we had monster Putin on US soil and didn’t trap him in a cage and drop him into the ocean.
MSNBC: When you change to MSNOW, please send Joe Scarborough to podcast oblivion where he can talk ad nauseam about sports and his ancient congressional career. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Indeed they do. ☹️ (I worked in state government after graduation.)
Meanwhile, Americans go about as if nothing horrible is happening. 🤯
The USA is a nation in decline. It took me a long time to say that. My family has been here since the 1600s. Started with the goal of freedom, but everything has gone to hell. My heart is truly broken.
The US treasury secretary is a multi-billionaire who doesn’t care about anything other than enjoying a bit of power.
Mental health affects everyone, but women often carry the heaviest burden, especially when it comes to anxiety and depression. We must 🧠 Value mental health 📣 Address determinants 💪 Strengthen support #MentalHealth matters 🔗 bit.ly/3Vr2mtR
The ties between China and Russia are growing stronger. As Xi prepares to unveil his vision of a new global order at a massive military parade in Beijing today, details have emerged of a major new agreement for a gas pipeline linking the two countries. (FT) Russians will also get visa-free entry.
I cheated a bit and took a screenshot of a Democracy Now article I bookmarked. He’s desperate in light of Epstein files pressure and will announce troops into Chicago, maybe other cities.
There is no way in hell Trump will resign. Stuns me that people are even thinking that one of the sickest narcissists ever born would consider doing so.

😢 No one talks about the horrific environmental damage Putin’s war is causing. 😢
Who are you? You get a lot of things wrong.
Politico Europe is worse than Politico USA.
Beyond cute. 🐰
I have a cedar closet. They require maintenance. 😏 I’d love to know what Derek thinks about them. Mine has to be sanded occasionally to stay fresh.
Cormac McCarthy's tweed jackets. Very good taste in fabrics.
😢
My grandmother used that cream. Had congestive heart failure. We were so happy to get 10 more years with her after her diagnosis. Maybe 🍊💩 won’t get that 10 years.
I spend half my life amongst his base. They will also say that the Democrats poisoned him. That’s how they roll. 🙁
PS: My mom and aunt went to college in a time when a nice young man would ask a nice young woman to dance at a frat party, and might ask for a date afterward. I was in the Gordon Gekko “greed is good” yuppie asshole hellscape. 😱
I’ll answer that. The rich. You’re welcome.
I don’t begrudge anyone for getting a few tweaks, but these balloon faced blow-up dolls are bizarre. Some of them have lips extended almost an inch from their faces. WTF? 🤯
I have thoughts, but don’t want to offend any of the old people I like on BlueSky.
I love your art.
Happy Birthday to a true Grandmaster Of The ARTs @fab5freddy send this salute around
Tom Bartlett should be a household name for his grotesque idiocy.
Loved him. 💔
Graham Greene, Dances with Wolves actor, dies aged 73
omg, KA was the worst one I went to. I’m going to shut myself up before I tell some really bad stories. 😬
something something two weeks tremendous never seen anything like it huge many people saying
I can easily envision those creatures cashing in on daddy’s expiration. Wouldn’t surprise me if they did something to increase the odds on date and time.
Clearly expressed in your profile cartoon. 😒
I love this! We are all doing what we can.
You really hit my funny bone with that one. I can’t stop laughing.
😂
Kid3 went to her first frat party and pronounced it the most disgusting thing she had ever seen. She’s got a good head on her shoulders.
My mom and aunt loved being in a sorority. Insisted I go through rush. I did, pledged top sorority, and quit after two frat mixers. Sleaziest creeps on earth lived in those fancy frat houses. I didn’t want anything to do with “greek” life after that. Good for your daughter! She is SMART!
Will do. Thanks!

When a pet is a central character in a film, I automatically don’t watch it. I assume that the pet will die. The pain of losing pets is awful. We have the urns of 3 dogs and 4 cats on a shelf in our office. 😢 (Yet we go out and find more rescues when ours pass. Have 2 cats now. 🤪🤷🏻♀️)
Michelle Obama: "please I'm begging you feed kids just one (1) vegetable" RFK: "some children deserve to die. there's a healthy way to eat deep fried burgers" Media: "these are the same, to me"
I almost subscribed to the Atlantic recently (after Signalgate). I am so glad I didn’t give them a dime of my money.
(WSJ: free) Update on the state of EV sales currently in the US plus a mention of the cut in workers by OEMs due to the effect of tariffs. The EV sales burst currently is due to Trump canceling the $7.5K incentive for EVs that goes away at the end of Sept. www.wsj.com/business/aut...
Thanks for the free article! I’ve noticed that dealerships selling EVs here in Austin TX are noting in their TV ads that the incentives end soon.
You’re correct. Biden’s also did. Standard practice.
Biden’s said The President too. It’s a standard thing.
Portland, Maine crowd as Democratic US Senate candidate Graham Platner takes the stage today.
There were a lot of weird shows and cartoons in the past. Like Casper the Friendly Ghost. If you think about it, that was weird.
My grandmother said only the good die young. If so, that fetid sack of bile will live to 100. 😩

I love that phrase! And Pritzker too!
Indeed. It was dystopian fiction back then, even though Reagan was president. Now it could actually happen.
There is ONE billionaire destroying democracy, and his name is Rupert Murdoch. It’s been his project in USA since 1996. Not that he cares about government, he just likes to make money. All the other billionaires are passengers on the gravy train.
Newsbreak is a Chinese propaganda operation. NEVER use them as a news source. Find a legitimate source, and then use it. As for Chick-fil-A, my family hasn’t been there in over a decade. They hate gay people, and we have gay friends, so f*ck Chick-fil-A.
I read the Handmaid‘s Tale in college. I’ve never seen the TV show. I never wanted to see the TV show because the book scared me so badly. We are in serious trouble. 😟
Concern over low birth rates was what the theocracy in Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale used to come to power.
Mine is that Roger Moore was the best Bond. I’ve taken hell for that for years and I don’t care. As for the films, they were never meant to be groundbreaking cinema. They’re fun diversions. 🤷🏻♀️
I love Bryan Ferry! I actually met him -- one of the highlights of my life.
Someone please kill me right now.
The cast of 90 Day Fiance.
Disgusting. 🤮
Yep. They made poor life choices and love any distraction from taking the blame.
I spend half my life amongst MAGAs in Texas. Without hate, they would be bored and depressed. Hate is their drug.
My parents both died of Covid and now my sister is in the hospital with Covid and she has Afib. So she is in isolation and I can't visit. They are keeping her there. I'm so scared for her. Please listen when people tell you to get the vaccine. Please.
No way! Kill brown ppl for $
Today we honor the workers who built this country—not billionaires, not corporations, but everyday people who get up and get it done. Labor Day reminds us that the dignity of work deserves fair pay, safe workplaces, and the right to organize. When workers rise, America rises. ✊💙 #LaborDay
Heather Honey, a high-profile denier of Donald Trump’s loss in the 2020 election, has been appointed to a senior position in the Department of Homeland Security in which she’ll help oversee election security.
Good morning from China and this happy-go-lucky throuple of dictators
My stomach just did a somersault. 🤢
It’s wild watching every advanced agency developed during my lifetime be destroyed on purpose, by people who want to profit from it and cheered on by those who will be hurt the most because they don't understand how things work.
Early night for Sleepy Don. Not even any insults either.
The first Black mayor of a tiny Alabama town has overwhelmingly won an election, four years after White residents locked him out of the town hall and refused to let him serve. https://cnn.it/4p0fkwn
I tried Go Duck Go and it sucked. Will let you know if I find something good.
I delved a bit deeper and it appears the AI got a couple of previous Hurricane Humbertos confused, but still no excuse. Google needs to stop posting AI results until it works properly. I miss the old Google.
I asked Google why Texas Amazon deliveries are running behind schedule. (My package is late.) There was NOT a Category 5 hurricane in Galveston last week. 🤯 Google AI is useless crap.
It was obvious he was ill during the earlier hearings. 😔
