Good. Fuck them. fortune.com/2025/09/09/t...
I don’t want *this* America.
They wouldn’t dare; that would imply they did nothing.
Oh Truth Social has been and is a very violent place (always, but especially…) right now.
It’s “the stripper knows my name” mentality 🙃
I *just* got a notification that he’d grown more political and opposed Charlie Kirk’s beliefs… 🤷♀️
Good luck with that. It’s going to ho over like a lead balloon.
The Wall Street Journal is now walking back its earlier reporting that "transgender ideology" messages were found on the shooter's ammunition. But it's too late. That story is all around the country and the world. Most who have read it will not see the update. Thanks, WSJ.
@schumer.senate.gov @warren.senate.gov @sanders.senate.gov @whipkclark.bsky.social @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schiff.senate.gov @adamkinzinger.substack.com Vance and military members carrying a private citizen's casket onto Air Force Two for transport at taxpayer expense? Why?
Watch this sonofabitch get a lying in in the rotunda
It’s the neurosyphilis! He’s dying from untreated syphilis. It is eating all of his organs.
That man was awful in so many different ways. He didn’t believe in empathy, so why should I waste mine?
👍🏼 she’s right folks.
Honestly people who believed the initial @wsj.com lies about the bullets just failed a basic media literacy test. The WSJ is just printing white wing press releases and if you don’t know that by now I don’t know what to tell you.

Robert this is wholly untrue as our entire system is predicated by and thrives on violence.
I mean, he wasn't assassinated. That's a word for actual political figures, not pundits. And he didn't die from political violence, but from gun violence, an activity he enthusiastically supported. If anything, he died in accordance with his deepest held beliefs.
condemnations of political violence are well taken but it does feel as if some prominent political commentators are of the view that violence isn’t a part of the history of American politics and that is very much not true.
While talking about gun violence.
It’s a feature not a bug. This is the plan.
Girl, it’s that damn auto pen
A top 50 US university yesterday fired an instructor, a department chair, and a dean because a course made some reference to transgender people without the brief official course description in the catalog saying “trigger warning: gender.” In conclusion, those intolerant lefty kids, cancel culture.
Schrodinger’s probably got something to say about it.
I just watched a little bit of Richard Dawson era family feud, and Jesus did Trump just Zelig his cadence and speech?
This guy is getting a workout today.
It was an auto-pen! Duh 😬
The phone number for the U.S. Capitol switchboard is (202) 224-3121.
Sigh. All too likely.
As a former dancer, I have to know!
Chicago: Buckle up for the invasion. Save this graphic. We’re at your service. 🫡
I mean what on earth are district court judges supposed to do at this point other than get the message from SCOTUS to let Trump do whatever he wants to no matter what the law says.
Brett, bro, here’s a brewski. Can we chat while we lift? Listen, if you’re going to base your decision on what “typically” happens (which you shouldn’t, that’s not how inalienable rights work), then you need competent evidence. You can’t rely on your imagination, bro.
It’s remarkable how many people believe Congress is weak and the President omnipotent. Congress isn’t powerless — it’s paralyzed by cowardice. Its authority is vast, if only it dared to act.
Two things: 1) Black Lives Matter is not *done*. It's never done. Me Too, also not done. Y'all really underestimate our endurance.🤷🏿♂️ 2) It's not difficult to be an ally. Andrew Garfield and Julia Roberts made space, Ayo Edebiri took her space, and the nonsense question was exposed for what it is.
CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @Rattoons1776)
Late-stage capitalism is basically a demolition derby for small businesses, while multinational corporations get an all-you-can-eat buffet of public resources and waddle off with every last crumb of profit. When will Americans wake-up and embrace democratic socialism akin to Europeans?
D.C. is pounding pavement! ✊🏼 Power to the People ✊🏼
Where do you stand? You can want solutions for the unhoused, you can want safer cities, but you can also be dead set against federalizing them and against military occupation. I stand with DC!
Vintage minimum wage poster
Working life has me wanting a “survival of the Saturday Costco run.”
Pretty sure that camera weighs upwards of forty pounds. (Remembers schlepping news cameras in the 80s/90s)
You can’t fire statistics 🤷♀️
Let’s make this happen!
WHAT.THE.FUCK? Are they all dumb? Tesla offers unprecedented $1 trillion pay package to Elon Musk - Bloomberg
If it's now the Department of Gwar then we're settling on Insane Clown Policies for the entire Trump administration
I can only dissociate so far before I need a nap.
Did we get blackout bingo?!
Any argument they give, just reply with "SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED!!!!" the way they have for years to defend using children as targets.
There is a baseline psychopathy in this administration and it’s terrifying to watch.
Despite being mentally ill themselves*, they see mental illness as a weakness in character (instead of a very normal part of the human experience), it’s a toxic view of very thing that separates us from other animals (theoretically).
Edward Murrow just rolled over in his grave
Omg so fucked
Hey @merriam-webster.com can the word of the day be feckless?
The president is using the military to dismantle cities that didn't vote for him The president is using the military to distract from women speaking out against his and Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuses. We are not living in ordinary times. Extraordinary responses are called for.
Note to all colleges and universities: don’t fucking fold first— call the tangerine twittler’s bluff.
Hey any New Orleans people (we’re misplaced New Orleanians) what say ye?
Anyone involved in human trafficking should be brought to justice, as should anyone involved in covering up these crimes. This should not be a controversial statement.
Basically.
He’s a fucking moron.
They don’t?
But Hunter…
I’d add an adjective between because and people: “… you read it and it’s because feckless people got bored…”
Most Richmonders haven’t heard about it, but the City of Richmond is rewriting the rules that will determine what can be built, and where, for decades to come. It’s called the Zoning Code Refresh, and right now, it’s quietly moving through the public comment stage. #rva #richmondva
I think I need to find this book. I had weird fascination with Buckley as a kid. I hated his politics but I loved the way he spoke. Also I was pretty convinced that he was the inspiration for Jabba the Hut 🤷♀️
Thank you!
I’m super excited; the kids and I are doing a double feature movie day! Freakier Friday, yummy dinner, and then 2nd movie, The Roses (Olivia Colman is one of my besties, we just haven’t met yet!).
Your reminders: Trump ended the National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team which investigated crypto-related crimes like fraud and money laundering. Trump also fired the ethics watchdog overseeing corruption in the executive branch. This is just another Trump family scam.
Thanks new friend. I’ve been building a playlist of (reminders of) favorites from seeing everyone else’s posts, figured I’d add my own too!
I hate ai because it uses serious amounts of mostly finite resources in areas that don’t have them (see: Texas, Memphis, etc). Also it’s making us dumber. If I see another comment that says “AI says…”
I cried every time I was made to use that thing. (I still own one though 😂)
How do I get in on this music challenge?
I legit guffawed. 5⭐️
It’s a little on the nose
In honor of Labor Day: meet my friends at the @workingfamilies.org !
In January 2021 the guard was called in to DC. There were reports that the NatGuard were sleeping in loading docks and the floor of the Capitol Building Visitors center— it’s a big cavernous maze of stairs and open halls. Where are they sleeping now? (Top shopping lvl of union station? That’s empty)
How do we make *everyone understand this* why are so many kowtowing to this (looking at you ___)? I said somewhere else that we need a massive mobilization of very quick history/civics lessons and an immediate economic slowdown. Idk if gemstone is it but I’d like to see where it goes
Does anyone remember the jan 2021 when he called in the natl guard to “help?” (abcnews.go.com/amp/Politics...) Anyway, has anyone been to the upper retail level of Union Station? I hear that union station has been “commandeered.”
Isn’t his wife leaving him? Sounds like she left a long time ago 🤷♀️
Strike that- *scratches ass*
Is that the painted section? Because they’re going to paint black to “make it too hot to touch” *scratches head*
What the fuck?
A little bit of wishful thinking is good for the soul. Keep it up cuties.
It’s so so good. It was all of the appropriate amounts of aggressive.
On any ordinary day I’d agree… but where we are right now; let’s not pull that trigger yet.
God dammit
Hey universe- I’d like some good luck on the 11th green today. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
The phone number for the U.S. Capitol switchboard is (202) 224-3121.
Hell yes!
I hear he’s broke.
I’ve also thought this is the way.
I’d like @rfk-junior.bsky.social to know my ssris keep me sane… so fuck you.
This is true.
