Portland, Maine crowd as Democratic US Senate candidate Graham Platner takes the stage today.
My latest Love at the Edges newsletter post. "The point is, even when we are firm in our vehemence that an identity we apply to ourselves today will always and forever be the case, we can’t really know that for sure. People change. All of us." bannon.substack.com/p/the-mutabi...
In my fantasy this is a mockup from the magazine's offices for when it happens. I know, just a fantasy, but let me live in that fantasy.
Point taken. Time will tell. I sure hope it all turns out OK over time.
I'm not sure. I think his entire cult will collapse. I think their camp with be in total disarray. The infighting will be monumental. I think (my opinion) if they see millions of people dancing in the streets it will give them pause about continuing the worst of the shitshow.
We're all meeting in the streets and dancing the moment it happens, right? No matter what time of day, the entire country needs to celebrate the second we hear the good news.
Waiting for Trump Tower to collapse like Barad-dûr when Sauron dies.

Decent Americans waiting for the good news.

I hope the car is OK.
This “explicit” is a weird editorial choice. The constitution gives the president no power over this at all. It’s not ambiguous.

Meanwhile, Joe Biden today looking healthy and happy.👇
Do you think he realizes how many millions of people were hoping the rumors were true?
I wonder if all those party celebration items people were buying last night are being returned now that they know they have to wait a bit longer to celebrate?
This week our @onguardsalon.bsky.social crew got together for our regular cigar hangout, but @thecigarpig.bsky.social, @graylinthornton.bsky.social, and I missed @mrkristofer.bsky.social who is hopefully having a great time this weekend elsewhere.

I wonder if Susan Collins will follow the lead of Joni Ernst and drop out because she knows she'll be trounced and most of her constituency hates her.
I'm from Chicago originally. I know of "weather" and I remain grateful to be in San Francisco.
I believe you are correct.
Sending this around again since it's important.
Same. Makes me happy that I subscribe to @netflix.com.

True. I used to joke that when you get off a plane at SFO the city should automatically hand everyone a hoodie. That said, I'll take our weather over the weather in much of the rest of the country any day.
This has been reposted more than 50 times on Bluesky. It has not been reposted once as of now on Threads. Is Meta trying to squelch dissent? Probably.
Another reason to love San Francisco. What a beautiful day!
I hope people do this all over the country. Let's "Make Potholes Great Again!"

The entire internet was waiting to see if the orange wannabe dictator is still with us just months into his administration. Remember when MAGA was pummeling Biden, the guy who still rides a bike and walks with vigor, because of age and health? Such hypocrisy.

He's alive but the country was hoping he wasn't. Word has it the White House staff was watching Weekend at Bernie's for tips.

It's a really well done video. It's concise and I think it empowers people to realize they can indeed do something to push back against what's happening.

Good! Every Republican should drop out because they have betrayed the American people and our country. And everyone knows it - Democrats, Independents, and even many Republicans.

If you are white, you have less risk showing up at "music festivals" or "group walks down the street" than many others. Use that reduced risk to help protect others who can't and to save our democracy.

Trump’s immigration raids are destroying our agricultural workforce — inflating costs, creating worker shortages, and destroying communities. On California Farmworker Day, we honor the hardworking men and women who power our economy. We will not stop defending your rights.
The only thing more disgraceful than having groveling cabinet members so willing to debase themselves in this shameless way is having such a damaged, insecure, and needy president that they know desperately needs to hear this BS.
How NOT to Stop Trump www.borowitzreport.com/p/how-not-to...
Someone posted that we should give elected Republicans a chance. We gave them a chance. They failed miserably. They sided with criminality, hate, bigotry, and the destruction of our democracy. No mercy for them. Redistrict and outmaneuver them into oblivion.

Whew! Sen. Susan Collins should be “very concerned” She showed up as the main guest at a ribbon-cutting in Searsport, Maine. It backfired. The crowd was not happy to have her: “Shame. Shame. Shame.”
It feels like the rottentomatoes site has become far less useful now that they usually point you to a single source for watching something on streaming. It was better before the gave preference to a single streaming service.

Krasner: So, if what you have is a group of ICE agents, or even the military, coming into Philadelphia and committing crimes—assaults that are illegal, kidnapping, unlawful restraint, obstruction of the administration of justice—they can be prosecuted.
Today Donald Trump, known for wildly gesticulating, held his hands under the table for over 2 hours of a live cabinet meeting. He can’t hide his lying hands.
Your tax dollars and their dedicated service wasted for an orange wannabe dictator's propaganda machine.

Nope. I get an email from them maybe every month or so and that's it. Very no pressure. It's the antidote to being pummeled with political texts. That's one of the reasons the founder created it.
