"PITY THE NATION"

Pity the nation whose people are sheep
And whose shepherds mislead them
Pity the nation whose leaders are liars
Whose sages are silenced
And whose bigots haunt the airwaves ...

My heart goes out to the families, loved ones, & National Guard impacted by this tragic shooting. All our military deserves & needs our support no matter where they are deployed.
Live updates: 2 National Guard members shot in D.C. near White House
By 3 p.m., D.C. police said they had one suspect in custody.

I used to work clinic defense at Planned Parenthood. The sheer number of Bible-waving, shouting crap-heads across the street who ended up sneaking their daughters in our back door for abortions would make you weep.

In France, a doctor will come to your hotel if necessary. You're not covered by the country's publicly-funded health care, so you gotta pay out of pocket. That will cost you (drumroll, please ... ) about $38 bucks, plus whatever meds you need.
Damn commies.

I wish I could stop shopping at Starbucks. But I've been quietly boycotting them for years for being a shitty, predatory corporation - chasing out mom and pop coffee shops, exploiting workers. All I could do now is egg their windows.
No contract, no coffee.

So excited to host Christmas dinner this year. Gathering so many recipes! Tortellini im brodo, timbale, porchetta, struffoli, biscotti ai pinoli ...
Of course, I know how this works. I'll get less and less ambitious as the weeks pass, and we'll probably end up calling out for pizza.

When the history books are written, vaccine "skepticism" (asshole idiocy), gutting of enviro regulations, and so many more things will be tallied as the most harmful. The damage of retreating to outdated concepts of gender, proven harmful again and again, is so much more insidious. But it kills.

Cocktail-induced smirking.
Pete Hegseth says Trump has asked him to add 500 more National Guard troops to Washington D.C.
It's unclear why he seems to be smirking throughout much of this.

I always say that it's better to hold off on blaming a particular political side for an act of violence. Here's why I'm blaming today's national guard shooting on the woke left.

In an online discussion about why we use the word "murder" in such narrowly defined terms. Pull a gun and shoot someone dead: murder. Deny medical coverage, put out false info about basic science, prioritize profit over safety - still deliberate decisions, people die en masse, but: not murder. 1/

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

Trump: "Despite their size, Secretary Kennedy has formally certified that these are the first ever MAHA turkeys. They could be fat, but they're still MAHA. They've been fattened on a steady diet of grass, beef, to allow the smoothies and all the other things they have been eating for this occasion."
