While I appreciate any opportunity to make fun of Mitch McConnell, I don’t love reminders of a man that helped create the current nightmare we’re in.

Uncertain how we get through to dems that having the same prioritized adversary does not mean you can lump us in with your party.

“Dems lose because they attack their own.” No, it is people that aren’t represented demanding all our politicians do better.

I’ll go a step further and suggest they be required to feel the effects of all the decisions they make.

Unable to fathom that upset people with conviction will merely walk out of their homes and drive down the street for free.

The heartbreaking thing about the Epstein cover up is that it is nearly certain a variety of those listed are continuing their abuses.

They are most likely enabling the continuation of child sex offenses, not just covering up what previously happened.

Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.

NEW: Israel informed the UN it will permit only 300 aid trucks into Gaza daily, not the 600 mandated by the ceasefire it just signed.

You could convince me that Musk would give up half his fortune for people to think he has Robert Downey Jr.’s personality instead of being a worm.

"Musk has set a new standard for being washed. Let us not forget that he bought and tanked a beloved website as part of a years-long campaign to get people to think he's cool and funny."

Jeda @jedagrimm.bsky.social · 3d

As abhorrent as I find the positions of many US citizens, we do need a collective effort of everyone looking up instead of across.

*And if we're going to be ruled by super villains, I prefer them to be cool instead of the massive dorks that currently run our government and tech industry.

It would be great to see the freed 1700 Palestinians held without charge getting as much attention as the 20 Israeli hostages.

Police officers who publicly declare that they’ll quit if a mayoral candidate they dislike wins the election are (1) usually bluffing—sure buddy, toss away that paycheck and pension—and (2) exactly the sort of cops cities would be better off without, ones who don’t see themselves as public servants.
