Everybody ready for “Drink more Ovaltine” o’clock?
I’m quite quitting Twitter. I play a lot of chess and look at the stars. Pearl Jam enthusiasts.

Everybody ready for “Drink more Ovaltine” o’clock?
And impotent.
Until Trump speaks publicly, I’m going to assume he’s incapable.
Maybe because the MSM is such a collection of spineless enablers who wouldn’t mind Fascism if the ratings were good.
I grew up during a time when the press would have demanded that the White House release the President's medical records and ask why no one has seen him for four days.
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)
Racism, misogyny, and homophobia for the trifecta.
The same people who sat out the last election are not going to vote for Newsom. I will if I have to but the ones who self righteously die on a hill are not going to. Just sayin.
It’s easier to get a gun in this country than amoxicillin.
Nope. Sorry. Not in L.A. If I have to give up my Fiji water, I am doing life wrong and by wrong, I mean really and truly badly. If that happens I might as well move to backward ass, sister marrying, goat fucking Alabama. No thanks. 😂

remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature
It’s continues to be despicable how the media has spent a decade normalizing the orange felon so much so that they are reporting on his authoritarian militarization of Washington DC as if it were a routine military exercise. They deliberately failed democracy for clickbait.
America, the only place where children being shot during mass is everyday news.
A huge TY to all who share me. We all have important information to share and we're all in this together. My piece exposes SCOTUS, Congress, Media, DOJ, Wall Street, and all that made now possible. We have to deal with now but Trump is the consequence, not the the cause. bsky.app/profile/patr...

We. Have. A. Dictator. In. The. White. House.
A new verb just entered the lexicon. *To Witkoff* - to obsequiously flatter someone in such an overtly embarrassing manner that onlookers squirm with 2nd hand embarrassment. Example: Did you see that Witkoff guy witkoff the President?
This fuck doesn't understand how anything works. His handlers just nod and tell him how amazing he smells!
And that he definitely doesn’t have a small penis.
Over a quarter of all homes sold in the first three months of 2025 were bought by real estate investors. If we want to make housing affordable again, we must get Wall Street out of our homes. https://youtu.be/q9TOGxDJ0TE?feature=shared
"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense
Since Trump spent all day questioning Wes Moore’s military service, I assume we can now expect several very specific well researched questions for him about his Vietnam draft deferment from the WH press this week.
There is no wrong answer but definitely a right one.
Freddy Mercury and David Bowie, in no particular order.
John Shin, a well known and respected violinist from South Korea, who received Bachelor's and Master's degrees at the University of Utah for violin performance, was detained by ICE. John Shin has been a violinist and teaches students in Utah. He is being detained in Colorado.
Let’s exempt primary residences under 20k square feet and tax unrealized stock gains over a certain threshold. Avoiding capital gains tax by buying up a couple more houses is putting home ownership out of reach for anyone who doesn’t already own a home.
He and his buddies can easily afford that. But they also have a culture of pure impunity now, where the pure resentment of being asked to pay anything over the 0% they’ve carefully worked out through this or that tax loophole is morally abhorrent.

the problem with twitter isn’t “there’s a lot of mean and racist stuff” the problem with twitter is that it’s an algorithmic fascism promotion machine
Good - they put one of yours in the hospital, put one of theirs in the morgue. It’s past time for Democrats to start playing the same game instead of whining to the refs. I’d prefer conventional politics, but the GOP has chosen a different playing field - so time for the Chicago Way.
South Park has a better chance of winning a Pulitzer Prize than Donald Trump has of winning a Nobel Peace Prize.
Vance provides a perfect example that encapsulates the idea of implicit racism here: white conservative politicians *routinely* go to multi-ethnic cities to scorn locals but minority pols *dare not* publicly scorn predominantly white rural towns and counties. Clearly racialized double standard.
The White House wants to white wash American history, and they’re making sure the Smithsonian’s exhibits align with Trump’s “historical vision.” This is right out of the Nazi playbook: “There’s no authoritarian takeover that is successful without taking over culture.”
Enslaved people used quilts with hidden symbols as a way to communicate during the Underground Railroad. Quilts often displayed on clotheslines or windowsills served as secret maps and guides for those escaping on the Underground Railroad.
It’s never been more clear that the Democratic base needs to take over the Democratic Party!
Today would be a good day to mention that sometimes freedom of religion means freedom from religion. Also, fuck fascist.
“To the windows….”
I could hypothesize that he has a micro penis so he slaps his stupid name on anything he can to feel like a big man.
"But that one of the symbols of local resistance would be a man launching a sandwich is about as unexpected as things get. (That being said, a group of men dumping tea into a harbor did help inspire the Revolutionary War.)" @maustermuhle.bsky.social for @51st.news 51st.news/email/e53cf0...
Follow the fucking money.
Part of the authoritarian playbook. 1984 as an instruction manual.
Sure, we can talk about the pros and cons of mail-in ballots, but what’s really bad is when a guy in office needs 1,000 FBI agents to search for his name in the Epstein files to cover up all of his child raping.
Anyone who pries Trump's nose out of Putin's ass shall be crowned King of England.
Stop private equity from owning and renting out single family housing.
The leopards can wash that face down with a burger.
Practically speaking we stop private equity and corporations from buying or holding single family housing. At all. I know that will rub your donors the wrong way. That shouldn’t matter if this is a serious question. 🙋♀️
This is a nasty game that people play in my neighborhood. One slime bag owns dozens of properties and gets federal money for them. They are absolute garbage and the turnover is astronomical.
Stop private equity from owning and renting out single family housing.
Listen, you can’t break the Trump cult, but they are the minority. We need a sustained presence of Democrats in rural spaces to talk to their neighbors and run for office. Seats go uncontested for decades. Hate gerrymandering? Get Democrats on every ballot and every race. We have to run to win.
It’s actually “Stella”!
Are the six wars in the room with you now?
Better off bread?
But in here America, the GQP is complicit and allowing the fascist wannabe dictator to just keep on with his coup…

Multiple times this year I’ve had coffee with fellow immigrants who grew up in corrupt third world countries and the shared sentiment has been that Americans don’t understand how bad things are going to get.

Got his good side.
The Guardian: A report by Jon Ossoff's office found 510 credible reports of human rights abuses in ICE detention centers since 1/20/25. They include deaths, sexual abuse, unsanitary living conditions, inadequate food/water & exposure to extreme temperatures. #ProudBlue #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice
First porn, now YouTube, ID checks to access the internet are creeping in. China & Russia started this way. Now their internet is locked down: no anonymity, no dissent, total surveillance. We are sleepwalking into total fascism. Don’t buy the “protect the kids” excuse. They want total control.
Pragmatism is a virtue.
NOTHING matters more right now than defeating fascism here in America. NOTHING. And fascism is here right now, it’s overtaken my former political party. This is why I became a Democrat 2 months ago. And we Dems need a really big tent to defeat it. A tent big enough for Zohran Mamdani & Joe Walsh.
At the #campfire I had one of those “once in a lifetime” moments last week. My husband & I were #backpacking in #SEKI in CA & saw 8 Sierra bighorns!! They are endangered & there are only ~350 of them left. My heart is full. #photobyraykenny #EastCoastKin #wildlife #nature #NationalParks #parkchat
Imagine you have a friend. Let’s call him Rick Reasonable. Now imagine you have an enemy. Let’s call your enemy Bart B. Oilingwater. Bart is a real piece of crap. Whenever he sees you, he throws boiling water at you. www.the-reframe.com/boiling-water/
Please read this if you have the time.
Breaking: Trump fires his tape measure because it told him his penis is one inch long.
Separated at birth.
Already seeing Dems say they should run on local, kitchen-table issues in 2026, and I don’t understand how this miserable excuse for a political party expects voters to react as if there’s a national political crisis if they themselves aren’t willing to talk about a national political crisis
Do they let y'all say "Donald Trunp is a pedophile" over here
Yes! Trump is a lard ass disgusting pedophile.
I turn fifty years old today and would love it if some of Bluesky would stop by and say hi!
Happy Birthday!!!

ATTN: If you’re a DoJ employee and have knowledge of the missing minute (or 2:53) of Epstein jail video, feel free to reach out to me via signal (in my bio). I’ll keep you anonymous- as I have the thousands of current and former federal workers who have sent me tips. Please share this widely. 🙏🏻
Chicken and the egg.
Baby Gaia was very friendly yesterday, coming out to visit us. She's 16 months old now and will start spending time away from her mama as she establishes her own territory. At Tapir Valley Nature Reserve #CostaRica #tapiroftheday #tapirs #nature
As I've stated before, a lot of the rules of the US system, for a lack of a better word, were founded on the assumption that people had a certain pride and sense of honor and would assert themselves when challenged. Our elite genuinely is spineless and decadent.
Bubba Wallace is the biggest reason why I became a full-time fan of NASCAR again back in 2023. There are few people who are as open and honest about their struggles with mental health as he’s been. To see him get a win like he did today is absolutely amazing. #Brickyard400 #NASCAR
People might want to stay off of 5th Avenue. 🤷♂️
REMINDER: Trump pardoned the Jan 6 terrorists who brutally beat up police officers and caused 4 officers to commit suicide. What percentage of GOP supported Trump after those pardons? 90%! If Trump pardoned Ghislaine Maxwell that same 90% would still support Trump.
Republican.

I want to see a company replace its CEO and most other executives with AI, then roll that savings into trial UBI programs. Computer models dictate their actions anyway, just rip the bandaid off and go whole hog.
History doesn’t always repeat, but it often rhymes.
If A Handmaidens Tale and Idiocracy had had a baby in 2010….. orange Julius would be trying to fuck it by now.
The strange thing about RFK Jr. planning to axe all members of the health panel that advises on cancer screenings is that Trump is all over the Epstein Files.
I’m reading A Tale of Two Cities and am just waiting for the heads to roll.
America’s raging inequality is on display. The corrupting power of wealth and giant corporations has never been more clear. Billionaires are running Washington and unleashing a tsunami of big money and legalized bribery. We are living in a second Gilded Age.
Today’s the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act—but the fight for access, dignity, and justice didn’t start in 1990, and it sure as hell didn’t end there. Anyone can become disabled at any time. So saving Medicaid is survival. For all of us. #SaveMedicaidSaveFamilies
Yes, please.
Yeah, Trump is obviously dangerous, and we need to fight each and every destructive thing he tries to do to our country and ALL of the people in it. But we need to keep mocking him, too. That's why the first episode of South Park was important. Sociopathic narcissists can't stand being mocked.
#ProudBlue ICE telling this 18 Year old US citizen that he has no rights. They tazed him & made jokes while they arrested him & his friends. They talked about migrants resisting more & having to shoot them in the future. They talked about tasting their signing bonus of $30k. Burn in hell!
The new SouthPark was simultaneously the best and worst thing I’ve ever seen on TV.
I really can't understand why any of this is a big hoopla right now. Like I thought they were totally fine with him fucking kids, why is it a problem now? The Epstein connection with him was well known as far back as like 2017. Why are maga folks suddenly acting concerned about this?
