They DO have a point. It’s a bad point.

There’s a future where the “Epstein hoax” becomes the “Russia hoax” and the “Covid hoax” … where the right wing bullshit machine flips the script upside down and the mainstream follows behind apologetically, led by contrarians and “they have a point” guys.
Makes m feel so strong, virile, manly, macho!
When you live in a gerrymandered state, you can’t just vote better. That’s the point of gerrymandering. To take away your vote and voice. To silence you.
Federal agents detained a man who was in a car with his wife and two children on Monday night in D.C. The man said he didn't know why he had been pulled over.
Ya think? Dumbest group of people I have ever known. If most farmers I knew get into Heaven- well, don’t worry. They won’t
Farmers are going bankrupt due to voting for the very guys who want to take their land.
Then they came for me and I said,”What? I only grabbed her pussy! That’s okay in America. Oh, and maybe slid my finger up a ways. Hey! She’s a girl. They like that!”
First they came for Bill Clinton, and I said, yes, that man is a sex pest, get him
Our Supreme Court is a wreck, now they’re okay with racial profiling. The Court has lifted restrictions on immigration-related stops by federal agents in the Los Angeles area, which amounts to blatant racial profiling. Agents have been stopping people solely based on their appearance,
Too weakly worsen. Should be at least “sickens”
As a bookish kid, I admired the Supreme Court for having the character to unanimously come out against segregation in the 1950s, when no other branch of our government would have had that courage. So it saddens me to see it lose its way and endorse judging people for the color of their skin today.
Love it. I want one
No notes
🤮
“I didn’t write it” when his signature matches many others, and he gave leniency to the only woman who could corroborate that he sent it to her, isn’t very convincing.
Led by America’s worst- Clarence Thomas. He is the wordy thing that has happened to American Negroes. White men treated them “better,” if you can call it that
Let’s say it plain: the Supreme Court of the United States endorsed racial profiling today.
The great American dream: Murder someone.
But some of them knew he was a bad person and were ok with that.
I read the morning paper in about 14 minutes. There was no “news”. It was monotone bullshittery. The news I wanted would be an obituary.
Did I mention FUCK TRUMP?
Then try to get sympathy as a veteran. Most of today’s veterans suck.
If you are a in a military units taking part in the invasion and occupation of cities you are a domestic terrorist and a coward. You shit on your oath and the constitution. FDT GFY
Good names for him. Not nice, though
The US president trafficked & raped underage girls, the evidence is overwhelming, everyone knows it, and this country's elites & institutions are so broken, so insular, so decadent that we can't even bring ourselves to state it clearly, much less do anything about it. Contemptible & pathetic.
And has been. Good ole Ronny started it; Bill slowed it down; Dubya um, well, er… he was President; and Trump undid everything. Then we reelected him. Fools
The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone. Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care. The system is broken.
Nice try, but it sucked.
Israel clearly does not want peace. They want domination, preferably with no one to dominate. Chew on that. If it doesn’t remind you of the 1930’s, something is terribly wrong with you. Terribly.
Too cold for flying insects in Maine this morning. Makes me feel glad to be alive.
This New Orleans morning is NICE. Mornings like this were made for screened porches.
But… socialism
Next year, Americans will see the biggest jump in health insurance costs in 15 years. Meanwhile, the six largest health insurers raked in more than $31 billion in net income last year. Still not sure if we need Medicare for All?
No “good” obits today. Hi hum. I guess I’ll walk Baxter and see if ICE is around.
Executive Order #201 Happy Birthday 🎂 Jeffrey
AGREE 💯 WITH AOC ❤️.......
How the absolute fucked up can you be?
Oh, that must have pissed ICE off!
Caravans rolling through the streets of Chicago, waving the iconic Mexican flag. Chicago is not playing 👏
We allowed it to work like this. We can’t get it back without outside help.
So if you are out on a boat Trump can just blow you up and kill you and everyone on board by saying you had drugs without presenting any proof? That’s how this works now?
Took a while, huh?
For sure.
Nice. Logical. Terse. Cold.
Thanking God for sparing you in a natural disaster is a bit like sending a thank you note to a serial killer for murdering the family next door.
Obviously.
Perfectly logical.

Due process is good
Good going, Commander.
"Leadership is not about clinging to the old playbook. It’s about recognizing when the playbook needs to change." At @nydailynews.com, retired lieutenant commander Shamsul Haque, a 21-year veteran of the NYPD, endorses our campaign for Mayor.
Somehow, I see Tom Hanks winning this battle.
Canceling Tom Hanks? Unbelievably petty. Then again, with everything going on these days, it feels right on brand.
Thank you for this post.
#ResistanceRoots Jovita Idár was born on this day in 1885 in Laredo, Texas. A journalist, teacher and activist, Idár dedicated her life to fighting discrimination and championing the rights of Mexican immigrants. She was also a staunch women’s rights activist and fought for women’s suffrage. /1
Just another American staple that we have given up to have a dictator.
Completely agree. It’s absolutely outrageous that nobody stood up for @yamiche.bsky.social — media spinelessness has played a major role in how we got here.
How can I hate, despise, dishonor him more?
Excellent! I have been saying this for 16 or so years.
All of my top candidates would be his buddies.
A true hero.
Another unsung hero. 💙
Shameful West Point. Shameful Army. Shameful America. BOO
Proving yet again what a small, petty, whiny, pathetic loser he is.
I’m proud of these Real Americans.

It’s a pandemic. I think this feeling will contribute to a last man standing World War.
'I’ve never felt more ill at ease with being part of the UK, more worried about the direction of its political culture, and more concerned that disinformation and lies are being normalised instead of challenged.' @richardwalker5.bsky.social, via The National archive.is/0mHRN
Very comforting to know. Thank you.
“Drain your brains to fill our pockets” is the new MAGA. HEY, Donny, they used to come on their own to the “Land of Opportunity.” The Republicans have shuttered that and set us back years.
Walmart spent $35.3B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024, enough to give each of its 2.2M employees annual bonuses of $2,719. Last year, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay of just $29,469. Textbook corporate greed.
Bernie still makes the most sense for American principles. Go Bernie.
We can set an example for the whole nation in this election.
I can’t even imagine. But I don’t deny.

The logic here is infallible. We evidently vaccinated one too many Kennedy.
Well said.
Jee sus
Prices are up. Job market is down. A tax break for yachts is sure to help!
Get thee to a cell!!
Alternate headline: Johnson Lied.
Do you still work there?
Ugh
“Do you acknowledge reality?” “No, i don’t.”
Who the hell didn’t know this? Even Trumpf only claims to be a stable genius. Not many liberals would consider working in a stable as a quality job. Frankly, I think he is too lazy to be a good stable hand!!

We are letting HIM win. Europe will eventually come for him, as we did Hitler. Nice going America.
