Anyone else watching Ari Melber (MSNBC)? He said he walked out of a movie because it scared him so much, but I didn't catch which movie he was referring to.

Yes, but he'll "hereby" declare whatever the hell he wants and the GOP legislators don't have 1/10th of a cojone among them.

We're very lucky, because our once vibrant local paper died years ago due to corporate takeover/ greed, but about a year ago people stepped up and created a new, in-depth online local paper, and it's great. IMO nearly miraculous.

It's a shame that you're so snarky about community connections. There are real people at these events who connect, discuss, plan, develop ideas. It's about friends & neighbors showing up and caring about one another. It's not for naught and not futile. If you lack a sense of community, I'm sorry.

There are plenty of demonstrations going on nationwide on this #LaborDay, but damned if you'll see any on the front pages of the MSM websites. So, Fuck You, MSM--the people will be heard above your evasions and noise.

That being said, I'm out the door now to join a resistance group in my city to commemorate Labor Day and fight the tyrant. These occasions ought to continue, and they will!

Wouldn't it be cool if hundreds of people dipped their shoes into different colored chalk dust, then walked across various crosswalks in Flori-duh. They could also chant, "Snowflake DeSantis is afraid of rainbows!", or some such thing. I also like the ideas I've seen concerning lights and drones.

Here's the article referring to that bastard's endangering the life of his great nephew because of a money-based family feud. We knew all this before Schlump 101, but America's full of idiots and bigoted jackasses, I'm afraid. Thanks to That Cookie Lady for finding it.

He also canceled medical insurance for his sick then-infant great nephew because of a family feud--over money, of course.

The reason that Ukraine remains endangered and the US is being held hostage by fascists and world's laughingstock, is that a sociopathic, self-serving, self-centered, self-pitying, hateful, petty POS who doesn't give a crap about his country remains at the head & still manipulated by a KGB officer.

While China is hosting a "New World Order" meeting, it hardly matters that Schlump is mad at his Daddy. Putin has obviously made both threats and promises for years. Donald's interest has always been himself, not the U.S.--his Achilles' heel, and Putin played him expertly. It's so freakin' OBVIOUS.

I always thought that Heidi Gardner was a hoot, and that Michael Longfellow was terribly underused on SNL. Every time I saw him, I wanted to see him do more. Perhaps that's why he's leaving. More important things in the world, but I've watched (mostly) since '75, so this seems a weird shake-up.

DON'T! We need to keep up both the awareness and seriousness, plus the satire and ridicule. We need everything in our arsenal, and we can't roll over--Ukraine isn't!
khwalz (@khwalz.bsky.social) reply parent
And it's why he's so easy to satirize and ridicule. Let us not forget that both are very effective tools in the arsenal of fighting tyranny. But, yeah, Schlump is a legendary dictator in his own mind. What a paucity of imagination.
khwalz (@khwalz.bsky.social) reply parent
I'm more optimistic for the long run. Okay, maybe a cockeyed optimist, but nonetheless... Thing is, now Schlump is even pissing off private companies--capitalism! He's going so far afield that IMHO the bottom will fall out, to our benefit. Plus, maybe he'll be "taken care of" real soon. 🤞

I respectfully disagree. IMO they're the same base being louder and more obnoxious. His poll numbers FWIW are sinking. More, not fewer, people are standing up to him--reg'lar folks & elected officials. More protests are planned. More South Park, take-down ridicule. Take heart!
