Just called and got right through to a human! ‼️‼️‼️ CALL NOW ‼️‼️‼️
It’s not just that the President of the United States posted a video of eleven people being murdered in international waters it’s that the President of the United States ordered the murder of eleven people in international waters so he could post a video of it.
“That’s it, plain and simple. Put a bow on it.” @jessicatarlov.bsky.social says the message Dems should carry is Trump and republicans have made life more expensive for regular folks and is cutting their health care, all to cut taxes for the rich and make the rich richer.
Maybe we've become digimon. Maybe we've become the digital monsters.
Thanks for putting that ear-worm in my head. Just what I need to go w my 3am insomnia. 😤😩☹️ And, yes. Yes we have. 😱
I honestly feel like ChatGPT is going to yield a whole new level of dementia in future generations because folks have just stopped using their brains. It’s really quite harrowing.
🤣🤣🤣
That Pritzker press conference was... surreal, and I think marks a significant moment of escalation in the constitutional omni-crisis. This was the governor of a state saying plainly the Union itself is being torn apart and his state is being militarily invaded by an authoritarian regime.
"uncoolio"? Also definite follow. 😂
I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable

Harriette (not Harry)!!! Not your average old-timey gal. Looks like she's got some stories to tell.
Me running to see that 2014 deposition:
Will those who get COVID due to being denied access be able to bring a class-action lawsuit? Bc that should definitely be on the table.
And then: dumping him in Central Park, and making it look like he was hit by a bike.

Can the media STOP referring to Jeffrey Epstein as a “financier”? The money he made came from SEX TRAFFICKING MINORS, RAPING CHILDREN, and BLACKMAIL. He was NOT a financier. I’ve seen at least five stories from three outlets refer to him this way in the past week. This is the latest from the Times:
What, in God's name, is up with his HAT?! It looks like something an old-timey train conductor would would wear.
Jill Stein and Cornel West both disgust me — such goddamn, self-serving hypocrites.
not just that he has no constitutional authority, there isn't even any particular legal or institutional mechanism by which the president can make anyone treat this as anything other than a weird advisory opinion.
If he won't do a town hall, maybe a town hall should do *him* - flash mob style, perhaps?
That man is so fucking WEIRD.
I have no idea how much he pays for photoshop, but it seems to have been a worthwhile investment. I'm afraid to watch Midsommar, but would totally watch the Ernest version!
Yikes! What states are folks talking about here?

Sure, maybe ten years ago it was, for some, a considerable accusation to make – but not any more. Not for a long while. You'd have to be willfully ignoring so damn many things not to see it now. It sure AF looks like we have a pedofile sexual predator for a president. Release the Epstein files.
Who are they strategizing for, exactly? 🤨🤔 Do scientists need "messaging strategists"? If so, that's really f'cked up.
If only folks could remember the importance of this lesson in simply managing businesses!!! I've worked in the same place with 4 (and 1/2) managers in 5 years and now I'm the only institutional repository of info. And it wasn't really considered as a thing, along the way. Alas!
This whole thread reminds me of my father-in-law farmer who always had to figure out how to get stuff done. He needed to disassemble an old barn to reuse the wood. How'd he loosen the nails all at once, rather than 1 by 1? Hung an 🧨 in the center. 💥got the job done.
Wow, is there actual research on this?!
🔥"Theological Malpractice" 🔥 This should be our mantra ANYTIME someone trots out "thoughts and prayers". It's as straight and to the point as t&p is evasive and demonstrably ineffective.
GnR - Not my jam, so I can't comment. What about those albums you bought back in the day based on ONE hit song, and the rest were trash? 4 Non Blonds "Bigger, Better, Faster" - such a disappointment! Especially considering what a great band name they had. I guess it explains why they only had 1 LP.
Boston - pretty perfect first album, but then afterwards: what happened?
“Ready my finest grave pissing outfit!”
Love that hat!
The City of Atlanta is opening its first municipal grocery store today. The city is spending $3.5 million in partnership with a neighborhood grocery chain in an effort to eliminate a downtown food desert. www.wsbtv.com/news/local/a...
Well I’m Glad That Illinois Will Be Protected…. GOOD NEWS: With RFK threatening Covid vaccine availability via the CDC, JB Pritzker's team is planning to buy Covid vaccines DIRECTLY from manufacturers and distributing it in-state themselves. 💪 Sane governors step up to fill the void. 👏
I'm not sure soup is a strong enough liquid in this case.
Also, fabulous soundtrack!
That's a new one for me .🙏
When they pull to get away from you, it's an indication that they need to pee. Take them out, and adhere to plan of standing in one place outdoors, as well. Repeat the cycle as nauseum. It could talk hours/days for them to get it when they're so averse to going outdoors.
Yes! DO NOT give up! You must prevail! It's a pain in the ass, but do it. Alternatively (or in addition), commit to keeping her on leash, next to you at all times when you're indoors. (Try attaching leash handle to you belt loop). 1/2
Try *not* walking. Just stand in one place. Yes, it's irritating, but it may work.
Is that Danny Fucking Kaye? Or am I dreaming?? Whoever it is-🔥💕
Try good old-fashioned waxed paper sandwich bags.
Portugal’s President Rebelo de Sousa: “The top leader of the world’s foremost superpower is, objectively, a Soviet or Russian asset. He operates as an asset.”
Off, now, with your bigotry.
If the Democratic Party intends to win this fight, it must stop functioning solely as a party & instead step into its moment in history: to lead a pro-democracy movement capable of confronting this authoritarian threat. https://www.lincolnsquare.media/p/stand-up-america-the-time-for-a-pro?r=2lckc

Is this article only available in online subscription? It's not in the table of contents (unless I'm missing something).
Your own life may not be perfect at the moment, but can you imagine being someone who could watch this and not see the absurdity of it? Could you wish to be such a person? It would be like wishing to be a cow instead of a human.
I think we all expected more of Bob Woodward. Epic failure at what be our most pivoted moment in history.

Maybe he gets his name redacted from the Epstein files?
"It's like wishing to be a cow instead of a human" - that gave me a good chuckle! It should be subtitle to anything MAGA related. 🤣

Trump's troops are making federal cases out of low-level arrests — such as possession of an open container — in DC. Meanwhile, his administration has rolled back enforcement actions against 165 lawbreaking corporations since January. "Tough on crime."
Those broken men live in an empire of dirt, wearing crowns of shit - upon their liars' chairs, full of broken thoughts, making us all HURT. (That NIN song seems apropos).
I'll share a favorite in our family (it's a two word phrase.) when my youngest was 2 & I told him it was time for a nap - he became indignant. Tearfully, he looked out the window, at his brother playing with friends (*not* napping) and exclaimed, "EVERYBODY PENIS!" We now use "E.P." Sums it up.
Constituent: You talked about abuses in the medicare and medicaid system and I found interesting that the president pardoned someone that defrauded the medicaid system for $1.3 billion
This man has way too much power, and most people have no idea who he is.
I know this is not a unique observation but public health was basically created to deal with the Spanish flu, and then a century later COVID hit and killed twice as many people and our response was to destroy public health
Hey, invoke away! It appears to be very effective. I sure wish I knew what that guy was saying along the way.
Dems should swap out Hakeem Jeffries with Jasmine Crockett. They need that kind of fire.

🚨BREAKING: 3rd Circuit REJECTS RNC motion to pause ruling requiring Pennsylvania counties to count undated/wrongly dated ballots. This means counties cannot reject undated and wrongly dated ballots while the case continues on appeal. Congrats to our clients DSCC and DCCC!
The second amendment guarantees the right to a militia to guard against federal tyranny. But if a president can use that force against its own state, against the wishes of that state, then it is no militia at all and a clear violation of the second amendment.
It certainly would explain his immense wealth, wouldn't it?
Scavenger hunt?! Yes, absolutely charming!! If you like them, check out this Carole Lombard/William Powell movie, My Man Godfrey. If you don't like them, there are always the beautiful gowns and dry wit. www.criterion.com/films/653-my...
Over a quarter of all homes sold in the first three months of 2025 were bought by real estate investors. If we want to make housing affordable again, we must get Wall Street out of our homes. https://youtu.be/q9TOGxDJ0TE?feature=shared
The Hill was NEVER serious or thoughtful about the threat. News organizations, in general, were the greatest failure and disappointment in this fascist takeover of the United States. And most are still covering themselves now with shame.
👇🏽
Hypothetically, if "Gee, you're really excelling at this fascist-thing. In fact, people are saying you're the best ever" counts as a compliment, I'd allow it.
Gathering Moss - the band ? Or a song title?
Gorgeous and her posture was absolute perfection!
Link appreciated. Merci beaucoup!
"To the moon and back" - I love that-it's so adorable! I must admit, those policy wonks sure are lovable, George foremost among them. I look forward to hearing his breakdown of section 30 of the exchange act, even if I have no idea what it is. 😁
Classic case of Enshittification.
Tell us again: how much do you love George??
I'd love to see this term stick to him!

Breaking news: I joined CNN to analyze the investigation into John Bolton. Too much coverage frames this as a narrow legal matter. I explained why this must be understood as a political investigation with major implications for American democracy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=py4F...
This will give me nightmares, for sure. Yikes!
The gloves are off, @jimacosta.bsky.social ! Gotta love a nicely lobbed f-bomb!
I'm thinking the governor's take over of the St Louis police (sound familiar??) may explain some of the insanity there. boltsmag.org/missouri-sta...

The Trump admin facilitated the release of an Israeli official who was recently caught in an FBI pedophile sting operation. Looking for a link to the story I saw when it happened proved *very* difficult; clearly the admin (and 🇮🇱?) have tried to bury it. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
A teenage car accident led to a eureka moment for Zainab Johnson. Years later, it's the subject of her Edinburgh Fringe show.
Frankly, i'm shocked this fellow is still on tv. What a tool.
It never ends with these a'holes. Always more, more, more.
