“Matching up with”?
Scottish tunes on the fiddle, and one Italian verb a day. 20 Italian words a day. Wrote a dissertation on George Eliot. Despairing for the future. Resisting by means of one postcard at a time. 🇮🇹 🇩🇰🇨🇦🇵🇦🇨🇴🇲🇽 🇺🇦

“Matching up with”?
How do the service members in that plane (planes?) feel about their orders today?
One thing we don't talk about enough IMO is how Elon Musk came to DC, destroyed foreign aid, and then oopsied back to his little companies. An estimated 450,000 people have already died because of this!
The Good Ole Days when America had a REAL Leader! @barackobama.bsky.social #obama
This is the feeling in my gut.
Why in God's name do they think we won't be outraged by this? We're still Americans, aren't we? Well, aren't we....
Trump needs regular performances of violence to: a) distract from Epstein and other vulnerabilities, and b) to demonstrate how "powerful" he is (though this actually shows extreme weakness)
The US just killed people for suspected activities where no death is warranted The entire chain of people should be held responsible for "just following orders" This is murder
The War on Women escalates to mass murder because a brainworm-infected former heroin addict made a deal with the devil to kill as many Americans as possible, including children.
What George said 👇
When is this going to stop???
Maybe we should try to convince the Orange Felon that RFKJr is a Democratic plant out in place to undermine his base.
The next Democratic president should declare that the National Emergencies Act and Article II of the Constitution allow him to: •admit D.C. and Puerto Rico as states •abolish ICE •grant citizenship to any immigrant •disband the 5th Circuit •expand the Supreme Court Seriously: Why the hell not?
I believe that 99% of what RFK Jr. does is motivated by: 1. Protecting his ego and vanity. He must convince people vaccines are bad b/c he can’t be wrong. Endless photos of himself exercising b/c vanity. 2. Creating conditions for his law firm to increase profits from suing various companies.
Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch. Netflix picked a side. I will keep my subscription.
Can someone explain meme coins to me?
Oh dear! I guess we have no choice but to force women to have as many pregnancies as possible.
I see it clearly.
Substitute “birth certificate” for “mortgage documents” and it becomes clearer what we’re dealing with.
Fuck ICE.
We are not subjects.
Why isn’t RFK researching the effects of long term heroin use on cognitive function?
Confusing. My doctor said magnesium oxide.
Trump needs to post an unhinged, hateful all caps screed as proof of life
Esatto.
I don't care if you want to read the Bible. Just stop reading it to the rest of us. Thank you... 👀
I just got up. What happened??
I would vote for you.
So people who run Fox News don’t need public health? What explains this level of cravenness?
Many of their children will grow up and see through their BS and start to hate them.
🪬🧿 There is no amount of money, oil, or gold in the world that is worth more than having bees, trees, and clean water.
No notes
I remember volunteering at the local vaccine clinic—logging people in, filling out vaccine cards—and feeling hopeful at the end of each day because we had protected another 400 people in our community.
So tariffs are now opening a tool for pissy people who want revenge. Not policy, just someone’s lizard brain.
Excellent insight.
“Kennedy would be less hazardous if he decided to do cardiac surgery. Then he would kill people only one at a time rather than his current ability to kill by the thousands. Why is it that killing a single person is seen as murder but killing masses is excused if you are a politician?” Dr Bill Foege
I have enough yarn stashed to get me through the revolution.
Can anyone tell me whether this covers envelopes containing documents (not purchases)? I’m expecting an important document from the Italian government.
Vaccines are safe and effective. RFK Jr. isn’t.
Is that before or after we’ve all either lost our jobs or been talked into suicide by ChatGPT or died of a once-preventable disease or “accidentally” deported by ICE?
“Physical inactivity” seems weird here.
" The point of modern propaganda isn't to misinform or push an agenda.It is to overwhelm critical thinking,to annihilate truth" Garry Kasparov We are living this reality,right now
I see that the CDC has changed its name to reflect RFK Jr's reign of terror on science.
wtf?
It's time to remove Robert F. Kennedy Jr from government before he kills us all
What will our representatives do in response to the latest gun attack on children while at school? 🦗🦗🦗
Florida banned The Diary of Anne Frank. Those responsible should be made to swallow every page, one by one, and feel the weight of the history they’re trying to destroy. 📚🔥
Sucks that feminism became politically verboten at exactly the moment when the right calcified into a masculinity death cult
What do you think the kids think when they see him?
They will lose my subscription.
Yeah, this isn’t exactly land of the free sand home of the brave.
Imagine not voting for Kamala Harris because eggs were too expensive only to end up with everything being more expensive, losing your health insurance, the military in your neighborhood and a geriatric president ranting about ending 10 wars.
Don't worry, Folks. Your prayers worked. The guns are safe.
Republicans: Mass shootings: “it’s the price of freedom. Send thoughts and prayers” Homelessness: “Deploy the National Guard”
👇👇
I wish we could somehow negotiate a temporary ceasefire where trump agrees not to do or say anything crazy for, like, a week
What do you think, is Jim on to something here?
Imma post facts about this bitch. In plain language. Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a political prisoner.
Yep.
If someone was told by their boss to go rob a bank, that employee would still be a criminal if they did it. This applies equally to federal agents carrying out the orange wannabe dictator's police state ambitions. Following orders is not a defense in court after you're prosecuted.
The Supreme Corpse
I walked down to the very good pizza place tonight. And walked home and had four slices. And what shocks me most of all, I did it all by myself without the National Guard to even help me.
Going to be wild to have Clarence Thomas and other members of the court write that even the appearance of impropriety is sufficient to allow the President to remove Federal Reserve members from office, and then head off to Harlan Crow’s yacht
In a small town in County Cork, Ireland, a monument stands in appreciation to the American Choctaw Indian Tribe. Although impoverished, shortly after being forced to walk the Trail of Tears, the tribe somehow gathered $170 to send to Ireland for famine relief in 1847 [Historic Vids]
Indeed. But in the end, few recall precisely the days January 30 (when Hitler became Chancellor), February 27 (Reichstag fire), March 22 (Dachau opened), March 23 (Enabling Act passed)—they just remember 1933. Likewise, everyone will remember 2025.
She should fire him.
Exactly: not a threat, not unwelcome, not a burden. They are part of us. I don’t understand why that isn’t self-evident. The people who are hunting them are a threat, are unwelcome, are not us.
Tax the rich. They can go if they want.
Pritzker is describing Trump’s fascist invasion of Chicago with total moral and political clarity. It’s an example that every other Democrat in the country should follow.
Words cannot adequately describe what a colossal disappointment our mainstream media has been during our slow descent into authoritarianism.
i hate this fucking pageantry of lies with an intensity that could independently power the north american continent for months at a time
The people around him are so afraid of him that they won’t even tell him how math works
We got entire fucking books and thousands of words from Jake Tapper and other 'journalists' on Biden's age. The Trump Administration is actively torturing Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a man who did nothing wrong, and crickets. It's not just the Trump Administration whose moral compass is broken.
“The authority vested in me”… what a tool.
I don’t know: let’s let it be a surprise.
That’s not how it works. Tariffs are calculated by US Customs, who then sends an invoice to the American importer and holds the goods until that invoice is paid. . Foreign suppliers don’t need to calculate anything, except whether they want to lower their price to avoid the risk of losing business.
I must have missed all the Law and Order SVU episodes where they didn't interview the victims and just asked the criminals what happened.
And RFKJR is cutting off the electricity.
“Seems to think”?
For the umpteenth Goddamn time, it doesn't have to be Gavin Newsom, just someone who understands that the old ways are dead and knows that there is no such thing as a fair fight.
The DOJ was there to transcribe lies.
Neil deGrass Tyson: "How sad it must be believing that scientists, historians, scholars, economists, journalists devoted their entire lives to deceiving you, but a reality-TV star proven in court to be a lying felon is your beacon of truth & honesty"
Let’s sit back and see? Or let’s fight like hell to beat back these monsters.
She’s a Trump supporter.
Check out the book The Barn for an excellent treatment of this dark history. I was so shocked at how little I knew about this subject that I immediately went back and read it a second time. Author is Wright Thompson.
Keep your sledgehammers handy.
