@govwesmoore.bsky.social How about Maryland joining this?
I was told that the era of big government would be over. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...
Hmm, an intended "interim" pope like John XXIII?
It's not complicated
The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama. His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful. Now he is tweeting in support of me. This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*. Or used to work.
The United States is murdering foreign nationals without even a shred of admissible evidence to prove that they were drug dealers, terrorists, or otherwise a threat to ANYONE. nypost.com/2025/09/15/u...

I don't hate it.
US President back-pedalling furiously after his administration treated some innocent hard-working Koreans like they were innocent hard-working Latinos.
The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?
“The ignorance of a bar-stool drunk.”
Remember what depreciation is as Epstein associates use it to describe a young girl: the systematic allocation of the cost of a tangible asset over its useful life, accounting for its gradual loss of value due to wear and tear, age, or obsolescence.
I think it’s a kind of haircut
Neat or on the rocks?
"Cadets must be prepared for combat. But their education is about far more than lethality. It is about becoming a leader of character....loyalty, duty, respect, selflessness, service, honor, integrity, personal courage." You know who that doesn't describe.
Rock well!
Stupider by the day . . .
Don't forget the war on universities, the war on science, the war on healthcare, the war on climate change, the war on citizenship, the war on good taste . . .

He is a dangerous man.
He's probably feeling low because he wasn't invited. #fomo
The people wanting to change the DoD to the Department of War are the same people too afraid to take the subway.
My god the kerning on "U.S. Department of War" is itself send-them-to-the-Hague-worthy.
They may have violated the law? That is shocking. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/05/u...
Department of Health and Human Services to be renamed Department of Everybody Dies.
Color me shocked!
They will get subsidies . . .and grow no wiser.
Not "nothing" . . .We shape the future either actively or passively, To do nothing is to let it be shaped rather than shaping it.

Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"

I dunno . . . how do you look in red?
And trash pick up, don't forget the trash pick up.
Yup. 💯

@wardcarroll.bsky.social What's up with this?
Dear Americans, welcome to the thrilling game of ‘Did this dictator die or just disappear for a day?’ We’ve been playing it with Putin and Lukashenko for decades. Enjoy the suspense.
I think it was 1964
I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns don’t kill kids, antidepressants do. Just shut up. Stop peddling bullshit. You should be fired.
The orange vests kinda undermine the point of the camo . . .
It is exhausting.
🚨The National Guard is now picking up trash in D.C. These images will not make recruiting brochures.
What if -- hear me out -- the Democratic Party admitted that neo-liberalism has been a complete and utter flop that made enemies of their core constituents and instead embraced an active platform of New Deal style democracy...
Pritzker gets it.
holy shit
The POTUS golf club covers, the shirt with the presidential seal, the ballcap with his administration numbers, the presidential seal dangling from the front of the golf cart: things that sooth the brittle ego of this insecure man by reminding him of his undeserved political prominence.
That would do it.
A missed opportunity.
Hope your school year goes well! (Ugh, Canvas)
Could he add anymore tacky gold to the Oval Office? Probably.
Yay!
Most likely

Well, he does win 98% of the vote . . .

Can anybody read this?

United States soldiers rolled out a literal red carpet for Putin. That image of subservience should haunt Trump and MAGA.
So deeply embarrassing for the United States. Trump legitimized Putin and his illegal war on the world stage and got absolutely nothing in return. Not even a single step toward peace. Everyone involved in this charade should be ashamed.
[writing the constitution] Benjamin Franklin: Write down "no dumb fucks as president" Alexander Hamilton: Stop saying that Benjamin Franklin: I'm tellin' you. You're gonna regret not writing that down
Putin owns him.

Remember the cost of prescription drugs has gone down 1500%, so the drug companies will be paying you money as well.

Very good question.
Sounds familiar.
Another missed opportunity
Congratulations!🎉
we can sneak around town / hunting working folks down / I hear they got a great benefit plan join ICE boy ain’t it nice / join ICE take my advice www.tiktok.com/@jessewelles...
Does Putin play the fiddle?
What history is he proud of exactly? The treason part? The slave owning part? The KKK part?
And, it needs to be a judicial not administrative warrant. An administrative warrant can get ICE into public space but not into private areas like a home.
Shooting the messenger (again).
I was asking myself this very question this morning.
