The bank app is telling me to "tap & pay like a bossđ" and "rally my crew". I am 37 years old and you are the bank. Don't talk to me this way.

Yes! I ran my ass home.

THIS is what Trumpism/Republicanism celebrates, nay, demands.
Michelle Obama: kids should have healthier school lunches RFK Jr: maybe if we let the plague run wild we can build a master race Media: wow these are the same thing
Oof.
Please, itâs accurate, but for the love of god, stop making me think about this movie! All time creeper.
Preach, friend.
Yup. I mean, sometimes living in reality is depressing. Still better than your head in the sand or up a Naziâs ass. đ¤ˇđťââď¸
I wasnât sure if this was real when I saw it earlier but Iâd believe any insane story out of the White House at this point. Not from them of course but about themâŚyeah
Truly. First city in which I lived in apartments (college in the 90s) and was thankful when I came back to NYC that at least this insanity was over.
Iâd lol if this little sociopath wasnât literally killing people for his own profit.
JFC.

I love the smell of consequences in the morning. Thank you, @dragoncon.org
A plane carrying Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the EU's executive arm, suffered from jamming of GPS navigation while flying over Bulgaria. The authorities believe that Russia was behind the operation, European officials said on Monday.
Been thinking a lot about this lately but not regarding the folks that wonât make me sad. So, I guess thereâs an upside? But when the decent boomer musicians start going fastâŚIâm gonna need all these assholes to balance it out.
Get the hell off Substack before you literally canât anymore without blowing up your business
I would read a whole series of reports like this on each individual federal goon. They all deserve a profile.
Donald Trump has reportedly gone out of his way to avoid paying national guard troops sent in to Washington, D.C., resulting in outrage from veterans.
I mean, they are the Devilâs franchise, and I hear heâs in bed with trump now, so this tracks.
After almost three decades of Snoop dislike I started to slightly come around but just glad itâs time to put him back in the trash bin and try not to ever think about him again.
Capable Dems need to become the questioners & turn shit around on mainstream media. Stop being afraid they wonât have you back or whatever other bullshit & shove their hypocrisy in their fascism enabling faces. Their companies are making deals with trump. Maybe bring that up? Make a damn spectacle.
lol
NEW: my office has received disturbing whistleblower reports that the Trump administration plans to separate 700 children from their families, lawyers, and support systems. Disappearing vulnerable children beyond the reach of American law and oversight is beyond depravity.
"When the public asks, 'How did we get here?' after each mass shooting, the answer goes beyond NRA lobbyists and Second Amendment zealots. It lies in large measure with the strategies of firearms executives like Richard Dyke." www.propublica.org/article/how-...
One of my officers was a platoon leader in the 82nd sent to NO. We sat there one night in Iraq as he told us about watching in NVGs all the corrupt cops loot homes while the city was still under evacuation orders. It continues to radicalize us.
german universities were once at the forefront of science before the nazis destroyed them to eliminate the "jew science" that would lead to the atomic bomb; the nazis eugenic beliefs were based in several ways on weird, occult, medieval beliefs fascism rhymes and adapts. america's is not unique
These are public employees who decided to leave rather than accept jobs where they actually did nothing. Remember that the next time they tell you that government employees are lazy and inefficient.
This firefighter arrived in the US at age 4, has been here for 19 years, was on track to legal status, and was on a crew trying to contain a major blaze (in Washington state, vs Oregon, fwiw.) h/t @joshuajfriedman.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Sadly, I donât think even Boney M. could write as fun a song about RFK Jr. as they did Rasputin.
going back to the founders it would have been recognized as an act of gratitude and patriotism to dedicate one's life to service of their adopted country, but Vance rejects the fundamental ideal of America in favor of crude blood-and-soil Nazism that he learned on the internet five years ago
If you are okay with this, if you think this is justified, if you think people living on the street have brought this upon themselves, if you think this is good leadership, you may be able to fool yourself that you care about others but you donât fool me
Exclusive: Meta has appropriated the names and likenesses of celebrities â including Taylor Swift, Scarlett Johansson, Anne Hathaway and Selena Gomez â to create dozens of flirty social-media chatbots without their permission, Reuters has found reut.rs/3JWb00R
Cream reunion at Madison Square Garden 2005 with mom. Sheâd last seen them before their breakup in â68. Their only US shows if I recall. Too bad I now despise Clapton but it was incredible.
And another one bites the dust. Damn Yankees. (Itâs obvi not just Yankees)
Everything about this conversation is making me horny. Nirvana! Moody Blues! Jethro Tull! I was definitely the only person I knew obsessed with the latter two as a teen in the 90s. Thx to mom I saw Moody Blues live at least 8 times and Tull twice.
i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.
The sickness that runs through this regime and everyone who enables them is incurable and has never been subject to reality, reason, or human decency.
Yes
Someone I know took this video today. They said that the kid was riding a CitiBike while swerving. The cops stopped him and then jumped him. Full-on police abuse. @nyc.streetsblog.org @transalt.org @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social
I have never seen so many public servants protest the mismanagement of a government. Trumpists will point to this as proof of the deep state, but the reality is that these are professionals who are desperately trying to get the public to understand how bad things are.
Lol. Amen.
Michael Broadway died from an asthma attack on a scorching day inside an Illinois prison. Witnesses said a nurse didn't want to climb the stairs to his cell. A friend in a nearby cell put it plainly: âstaff in these prisons DO NOT see us as human beings.â
This is such a no-brainer that the lack of a coordinated response feels deeply damning. A Democratic leadership team that can't mobilize an instant all-hands-on-deck effort on RFK Jr. isn't a leadership team at all.
I didnât say he CANâT. But being out here defending a guy as arguably the greatest comedian when part of that comedy is putting actual targets and danger on real people is a choice. You may think jokes donât matter in real world but how do you think hate gets normalized? This is a sad hill for you.
Youâre delusional if you think itâs anything other than arrogance. But sycophants apparently gonna stump for abusers because they gave them the ha has. And who the fuck are you to dismiss peopleâs right to basic humanity?
If youâre still that great of a comedian you can be funny without feeling the need to punch down on people. Especially trans people whoâre literally in high danger of abuse/death everyday. Youâre being an abuser. You could just keep their names out your mouth. I donât give a fuck how funny you WERE.
Unquestionably a war crime. I know we all have fatigue about this, but we have to keep saying it where we can until enough people get it.
I am always concerned about the misogyny and ease of getting rid of women âclimbing too highâ, especially in sports, but I also honestly think she was horribly painful to listen to and there are women Iâd love to see more of, like Monica McNutt.
Ugh. Yet another Yankee I used to like officially in the persona non grata realm. (Still looking at you too Mariano.)
Absolutely. Once I saw I really became unable to be a fan of most individual players the way I was as a naive kid. And donât get me started on my NHL fandom.
100% correct. I still remember how pissed off I was by the stupidity of it all.
Itâs a little bit funny that so many people with influential platforms remain committed to the idea that Trumpism, as a political project, is mysterious and hard to pin down â while Trump himself constantly goes âGotta protect the white real Americans from the black and brown hordes.â
Seriously, are you stupid or something?
The recently selected chair of a North Carolina county Board of Elections was charged for allegedly drugging ice cream from Dairy Queen with MDMA and Cocaine and giving them to his two grandchildren
Iâd be very willing to further suspend reality to see that.
The Minneapolis shooter was apparently a fan of several mass murderers who were motivated by the same "Great Replacement Theory" that has pretty much taken over the Republican Party.
âMy friend got hit in the back⌠my friend Victor saved me, he laid on top of meâŚâ We are failing them.
DOGE, you may recall, secured access to our Social Security data thanks to an unsigned, unreasoned shadow docket order. The Roberts Court dropped it on a Friday afternoon and barely anyone noticed.
Me, every damn night.
Making them wear high-visibility vests over camo is such a good joke you couldnât write it
an appropriate response to your product killing a child after months of psychological manipulation and torture is to take the product off the market before it kills again and the fact that this isnât universally accepted right now is incredibly frightening
Another infuriating aspect of ICE roaming around D.C. that I hadn't thought about. I just talked to a D.C. woman whose husband is undocumented and whose employer is refusing to pay him for work he's already done -- and threatening to call ICE if he keeps asking for the money he's owed.
it's funny but also americans hate history and believe it doesn't matter which is exactly why we are in this mess.
đ¨NEW STUDY: Large media outlets systematically omitted mention of data showing corporate profits helped drive inflation, instead citing industry talking points. Lawmakers then cited those media narratives to justify ending aid to the working class. www.levernews.com/greedflation...
Who did this?
Immigration is the central issue of our century and progressives must defend it or lose absolutely everything to fascism
Why does autocorrect not work on words like pedophile, supremacist, and rapist?
This article just reminded me of this old tweet
Food delivery app companies spent $3.2 million in this spring's City Council elections â so Council members are doing their bidding and refusing to pass a a bill to require app companies to provide delivery workers with safety equipment, The City reports. buff.ly/0z3Koou
Only musically. And that sure as shit didnât come out of happiness.
Again: they found absolute monsters to run gov social media accounts. People who at some point lost or never had the idea that the things you say online might have real world connections. Literal psychopaths.
Fuck everyone who is afraid of the subway cause the vibes on 7 home from the Mets game just cured my depression
For those unaware, Uganda has basically been a movement laboratory for American evangelicals. They've poured a massive fortune into the country and directly influenced its politics in a socially conservative direction. President Yoweri Museveni has a long relationship with American evangelicals.
Sorry bud, I think your brain is broken.
"Honey, I don't have much time. I've been arrested by ICE and they are sending me to a detainment center. I love you and the kids, I will be OK, please call our attorney" -- John Shin, DACA resident, speaking to his wife last week. She hasn't heard from him since www.fox13now.com/news/local-n...

Acknowledging that we are living under a fascist regime at the Federal level is essential for figuring out how to fight. And I'm sorry but burying one's head in the sand at this moment is actually allowing fascism to be further entrenched & authority more easily consolidated.
I truly will never forgive the people who put the worst person on Earth BACK in power. Or the Congress more concerned with their vacations and grift than checking said power.
You donât say.
Walz: "It boggles my damn mind that in the midst of a military takeover of our cities, the flaunting of the rule of law, that the press finds the need to talk about, 'Oh, there's a division in the Dem Party.' There's a division in my damn house & we're still married and things are good. That's life"
KILMAR IN BALTIMORE: âNever lose hope. Promise me youâll continue fight for freedom â not just for me, for everybody.â He was just taken into ICE custody.
The prolonged public torturing of a single man because the state cannot admit to its errors is not something that occurs in a free country
Four journalists were killed by an Israeli strike on a Gaza hospital today, including Mariam Dagga, a freelancer with the @apnews.com. She has a 12-year-old son, who was evacuated from Gaza earlier in the war. She was a true hero, like all of our Palestinian colleagues in Gaza. tinyurl.com/3cn5c9vb
The ethos behind Kennedyâs Make America Healthy Again movement blames individual people for their chronic diseasesâparticularly by associating health conditions with choices like vaccinationâand links Medicaid usersâ value to their economic productivity.
Back in NYC and catching up on Supreme Court abject failures and... thank God for Ketanji Brown Jackson. I swear she's the lady from the insurance commercial screaming "That's not how it works. That's not how any of this works."
As he desperately covers his rotting hand and sits to rest his dead foot. Meanwhile, there damn sure isnât a gym that can resuscitate his pickled brain.
Like reading unused lines from a Bill Hader Stefon SNL bit.

LOL. This is not new behavior from this man but itâs very funny that drugs are great but lesbians are a bridge too far.
