Trump said he deserved a cut for brokering the TikTok deal, and at once there was agreement that his son Baron would have a top executive slot... though he hasn't asked for it, and has no apparent qualifications to hold it. This is how Trump 2.0 works. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

Show me any dog, slobbery or not, and I defy you to stop me from falling to my knees.

I was just talking to my daughter about this movie because she's helping me renovate my "Money Pit", built in 1910. She was intrigued. 😄

@sanders.senate.gov: "No, Speaker Johnson, the #NoKings Rally on October 18th is not a 'hate America' rally. ... It’s a rally of millions of people who believe in American freedom and are not going to allow you and President Trump to turn us into an authoritarian country."

Frog, obviously.
My polling is overwhelmingly in favor of antifascist amphibians, although I feel that all sentient beings should have the opportunity to be heard.

WC_Cogswell @cogswell.bsky.social · 7h

I appeal to the Norwegian Storting Committee.
Please introduce a new category which awards a prize celebrating antifascist amphibians.
The world needs this now.

“I’m worried about my community… I’m out here in a frog costume to show how ridiculous the notion that we’re violent terrorists is, and showcase how that narrative is wrong…”

Serious Q: is it too late to give this dude the Nobel Peace Prize? 🐸 🏆

I think it's because I grew up during a time when accurate and timely reporting was our holy Grail.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.

Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.
