You in Maine, Jeff?
This dude is something else.
So incredibly well-deserved, @jamellebouie.net. Congratulations!
This feels like a spot of good news www.sciencedaily.com/releases/202...
When a president admits he canāt win and stay in power unless he rigs the game, democracy is in danger. Thatās why Proposition 50 is up for a vote in November, to give Californians the chance to fight back against this power grab and ensure their voices are heard.
This is so importantā¦ Sharon has been tracking license plates on cars driven by ICE agents, and sheās finding they donāt match the vehicles. In other words, ICE is using secret, illegal tacticsājust like we suspected. REMINDER: the DMV is not a federal agency. @governor.ca.gov š§µ
Friend sent me this. š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£
Itās obvious that Trump behaves with Putin in a way that is unique (including compared to Xi). My theory is that Putin understands knows that Trump was psychologically reliant on his father to both keep him afloat financially and build up his ego (Fred Trump used to tell DJT, āYou are a kingā) 1/
āPutin would eat you for lunch.ā Today, exactly that happened.
Law firms, universities, media companies, and now banks. If people donāt understand whatās happening to our country, itās because they donāt want to.
Itās like Trickle Up economics.
Had to lead his list of accomplishments with African countries, tho. You know, because Charlemagne could only really care about those Black countries. š
I remember when Jesse Wattersās expertise was enough to get him a gig as the āman on the street,ā trying to goad unsuspecting liberals into saying something progressive. And now heās an expert on global trade and capitalism?
Thereās an Oingo Boingo/Dando Bongino joke in here somewhere.
when they close it all up, I do believe this will go down as the funniest video on the internet
This hurts my soul.
So important! Fibroids have never gotten the attention that endometriosis has, but they can be as painful and have as much impact on fertility as endo. We need better treatment options than surgery or hysterectomy for those of us who hope to have children. The treatments are still too invasive.
Thank you for this. As a 2-time myomectomy patient who was forced to have a cesarean w/my one child because of the prior surgeries, we need better treatment options for everyone but especially for younger women of childbearing age! I had to BEG for an u/s bc of heavy bleeding to get my diagnosis!
little library gallows humor for ya :'D
If they would lie about the Epstein list, they would lie about Butler too.
This is what a fact looks like.
This July 4th as Trump's Gestapo occupies our cities, I wanna discuss the Battle of Long Island in 1776. This was a huge defeat for Washington's Continental Army that enabled the British to occupy NYC. The Americans suffered heavy casualties. But they never gave up & in the end we won the war.š§µ
Did you know every time you say āsomeone is toast,ā you are paying homage to that great linguistic innovator, Bill Murray.
Thank goodness we have a presidential task force to combat antisemitism which will surely look into this pronto.
So wait, can we send him to El Salvador for being an antisemite? Thatās how it works, right?
America is in trouble, and we must meet this moment with courage. The time of wishful thinking is over. Now we act. youtu.be/cXR5HLodsT8
The Black Death wiped out 40% of the population of Europe, but it also led to significantly higher wages within a generation. Could Trump's megabill have the same effect here in America?
Remember when he wanted to reopen Alcatraz? Heās a genuine lunatic.
Not the YOUTHFUL MERRIMENT CLAUSE!
Oh wow. Lanes on I-10 narrowed suddenly, forcing ALL drivers to exit at a weigh station. A makeshift checkpointādigital sign read: āHave Passport Readyā 1 of like 12 ICE agents, all standing aroundāin full military gearāordered me to open my window: āYou a U.S. citizen?ā āUh yesā then let me go..
ICE *already* can't meet their detainment numbers without rounding up children, veterans, people born in the U.S., people with no criminal records, people at immigration hearings, plus academics and visitors with valid visas. So who do they plan to detain with >10x the budget? The answer is: you.
Said the same thing! šš¼šš¼
The only valid choice is the chocolate chip cookie sandwich.
Hope you brought your coral shoes!
Whoever it was, it also turned him into Nosferatu. Dude is 44, and has been for about 2,000 years.
A HUGE scandal. Someone told Emil Bove he should defy the courts. Who could that possibly have been? Who told him he should drop charges against Eric Adams for a quid pro quo? There must be a full investigation to find out who.
Funny how he wonāt investigate any other voting irregularities. š¤Ø I assume this is an attempt to stay in office another 4 years as a consolation prize for being ādeniedā the 2020?
I feel like, with the name Markwayne, he was born with no credibility.
MAY THIS MAKE YOUR DAY Prior to bilat btw PM Carney & DJT, they had a press encounter where DJT started delivering his best hits (Sleepy Joe, ICE saves America, Obama = bad) just to be interrupted by PM Carney Once video stream was off, ENTIRE PRESS ROOM erupted in a deep, loud, and hearty laugh!
I also donāt believe the reason all the troops, tanks and equipment are in DC is for a parade. That may be what they tell us. That may be how they start it, butā¦.
If you havenāt heard of Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Doveā¦ you have now. When she stepped out from the back without missing a beat, I knew it was onš„ @kamlager-dove.house.gov
Naming a military installation after a loser definitely tracks for Trump, though.
This is Los Angeles. Home of Hollywood and about 500 plastic surgeons: Letās band together to wear disguises at protests. No masks, no problem.
Truth-tellers, not rioters. Protect these two men at all costs. āYou feel tough with your assault rifles and your sticks. You should be standing here with us. Youāre on the wrong side of history.ā āJohn Lewis said make good troubleā¦ that means make trouble on behalf of democracy.ā
The danger that Trump would abuse the Insurrection Act to crush dissentāor steal an electionāwas obvious five years ago. It's unconscionable that Democrats did nothing to rein in these powers when they had the chance. The next Dem admin needs to prioritize it www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...
āHe wouldnāt be dead if heād just complied with the officerās orders.ā
Kristi Noem in Feb 2024: If Biden federalizes the National Guard [to handle border issues], weāve got a war on our hands.āl Kristi Noem in 2025 as DHS Secretary: ā¦federalizing the National Guard.
Gah, one of my all-time favorite books!
āAnyoneā here means anyone besides the rightwing extremists and rioters who attacked cops while overrunning the U.S. Capitol on January 6th.
As long as weāre not saying this about Logan Paul, Iāll allow it.
@mcuban.bsky.social is the Nostradamus of tycoons.
First, they came for the peanut butter & jelly, and I did not speak out because I loathe peanut butter & jelly sandwiches.
This isn't about Left and Right. It's about low to no Empathy having people terrorizing folks with Empathy because it's entertaining. And at some point, for our own survival, we're going to have to start a conversation about how to keep the Empathetic folks safe from the emotional terrorists.
Why does anyone talk to this Foghorn Leghorn-ass mfāer? Just to hear the utter rubbish that comes out of his face hole? š«
This is playing directly into the hands of Trump & his ilk, too. Theyāre systematically destroying higher education, working on dismantling public schools & installing Christianity-based learning in their place, & removing Black history from curricula. Fascism 101: Control minds, control bodies.
Came here to say this hahaha
Did she also end up with her arm in a sling from a handshake, orā¦?
Not a lawyer but I assume it's less than optimal for the government's case to be labeled by a judge as kafkaesque
That I cannot decide which of these two government officials is worst is a very dark moment for me.
The thing school choice proponents forget is that just because they have a voucher in their hands doesnāt mean their child will be accepted in their school of choice. The grass is not always greener - and in this case, there isnāt even any grass with the voucher program.
Higher-need students are being left behind by voucher programs. When voucher programs drain funding, public schools are left serving more students with disabilities with fewer resources. We need to do better for our most vulnerable kids. #DontDefundPublicSchools #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory
Exactly this.
Why would Trump pardon him? Trump is firmly on the side of Israel. This man is sick and will end up in a mental institution.
As an atheist, bringing up Jesus and the Tooth Fairy in the same batshit crazy statement is comedy gold, but clearly she doesnāt see the irony.
No worries; I genuinely didnāt even see the error at first.
Also just about the least Christian thing Iāve heard this week.
This notion, that there always has to be a large underclass of people who arenāt well educated and just do manual work for the rest of us, is called āMudsill Theory.ā I bristled yet again at what the Party of Lincoln has become. marypezzulo.substack.com/p/the-mudsil...
I read this quickly and thought you wrote āwho doesnāt understand forksā and that made me giggle š¤£
What. The. Fuck.
He doesnāt have the first clue how to do his job. His entire experience with transportation was in an RV on Road Rules in 1998.
Wouldnāt there also be inherent differences in the ways the children are parented, and expectations placed on them? So many ways to view this š«¤
Yeah it writes itself. But lets pile on any way, shall we? He sat as the head of the court, in the majority, who essentially found that they could be fired, killed, & dismembered if trumpf, or another president thought it in his or her 'official' duties to do it. That some world class irony.
Me too! Itās finally our time!
I thought this was the @nytpitchbot.bsky.social
@jemelehill.bsky.social has and will always be one of my heroes. The pure brilliance of this is just
WHAT. Oh, thatās right: Texas. FFS just secede already, weirdos.
If he was my brother? 100% would consider. š¤£
Bronson is freaking fantastic.
Maāam have you seen MobLand yet?!? SO GOOD.
Not me thinking this was Lamar Odom. š¬
The 9/11 highjackers has the audacity and creativity to shake things up that quiet Tuesday morning.
Totally believe you! Just the first time Iāve heard this. I know there was a lawsuit against a political advocacy group he founded that was settled out of court and an NDA was signed, but that suit was against the group as a whole and not Bernie individually. Iāll keep looking though.
Racist?! Iāve heard Bernie called a lot of stuff but that one is new to me. Off to Google some things! (P.S., Iām ambivalent about him and always have been.)
You know whatās weird? I looked at your posts from the past few days and you just recycle the same phrasing over and over. Like a bot. Toodleoo, fuckboi.
Grow up. This woman didnāt vote for this. Period. It happened to her, not her husband.
Enough with this bullshit. Reveling in this despicable. No one would have imagined that tourists with proper credentials would be getting body cavity searches and thrown in a holding cell the moment they arrived.
Thereās only one solution. š¤·š»āāļø
100%. The more educated the populace, the more empathetic and attuned they are to inequalities and the abuses of capitalist overlords. Theyāre looking to nip the problem in the bud: Create Christian public schools, bring Theology into the science classroom, and cut universities off at the knees.
The only hope we have for the Supreme Court to enforce limits on the executive is a Democratic president
Does she drink anything other than Franzia?
Self-DOGEād is the new self-owned.
He will gloat until the people rise up.
Iād really love to hear his thoughts about whatever the hell theyāre doing over there in Oversight. I know heās not on the committee but it was egregious that they twice bypassed young women of color in favor of the same old white men status quo.
PWNED.
