Hi 👋🏻 here's some of what I like and enjoy in no particular order... the Pittsburgh Penguins, reading Romance, movies, music, true crime, Survivor (though I don't ever post about it because I loathe spoilers), and listening to podcasts about all of them!

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...

Republicans declare themselves patriots, then turn around and block the paychecks of the men and women who defend America.

And what’s really wild, some of those same troops keep voting red while getting screwed over again and again.

Yesterday I was told that the class I’m scheduled to teach this month, Confronting Oppression & Injustice, is no longer part of our curriculum. This is a required class yet there was no discussion, no faculty vote, just an email saying the class no longer exists. This is what it’s like in Texas now.

Marjorie Taylor Greene : "Prices have not come down at all. The job market is extremely difficult. Wages have not gone up. Health insurance premiums are going to go up. Homeowner's insurance goes up every year. Rent is going up. Young people have no hope of buying a home."

seems like a non-insignificant percentage of rage against the machine's fanbase are young republican men driving SUVs bopping their head to anti-oil, pro-immigrant songs thinking the lyrics are about how they wish their suburban parents would get off their back
Tom Morello tweets: "Fascinating that all those “don’t tread on me” posers and their AR-15’s are nowhere to be seen and government tyranny is instead being opposed by a guy in an inflatable frog suit." Someone named Manny replies: "@grok why do some people say Tom Morello and band mates are RAGE FOR THE MACHINE and not against ?"

Kasparaitis Kruncher's (1997-1999): Then-Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman, Darius Kasparaitis apparently loved pickles so much, that he was honored with his own line of "Russian style" spicy dill spears.
A jar of dill pickles that reads "Kasparaitis Krunchers" on a blue label in white and yellow writing. Under that, it reads "Premium Russian-Style Dill Spears" with a hockey player's face in the middle

The fact that ICE is advertising during college football games offering $50K bonuses to torture people is insane and says a lot.

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

Must read article about the growing influence of The #MeidasTouch speaking truth to power and stepping in to say what legacy media is petrified to say.

“People are waking up every day feeling, and rightfully so, that this is really life or death for them.”

www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...
‘We’re fighting for you!’ Podcaster Ben Meiselas on taking on the Maga media – and winning the ratings battle
His channel, MeidasTouch, puts out 15 videos a day exposing Republican failings – and it is getting bigger audiences than Joe Rogan’s. Is this the champion the American left has been waiting for?

OUR tax dollars are being used to bail out Argentina, OUR troops are being put on the ground in Israel & OUR soil is being used by Qatar for a military base of their own.
While OUR government is shutdown.
Anyone who believes OUR so-called “president” when he says he is “America first”, is an idiot.

Let’s be clear:

Republicans are 💯 responsible for the government shutdown. They don’t need a single vote from Democrats to reopen.

Republicans are 💯 responsible for firing thousands of federal workers. They don’t need a single layoff to offset the shutdown. It’s their Project 2025 playbook.
