This. Anyone who was going to jump ship over his ties to Epstein and his pedophilia and rape already have because none of this is new information.
About 30 % of the nation is still trying to pretend Trump is their god. As soon as really bad Epstein information comes out involving Trump they just normalize it. Half of the Christian Nationalist movement have had fathers and pastors who committed or covered up the same crimes as Trump.

Father of two, Silverio Villegas Gonzalez, senselessly killed by ICE
He had no criminal history, just traffic tickets. He was a soft-spoken man who left his quiet village years ago for economic opportunity in the US and worked long hours to support his two children.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

I just saw a totally columbusing comment calling Kenny Rogers "a honky tonk novelty" like he wasn't a beloved multi-talented superstar and suddenly I feel ancient like the cryptkeeper.
Time to go rewatch The Gambler and ignore social media for a while.

Fantastic drawing! I like the addition of the plant in the background for some texture contrast.
I just started following artist @crysodenkirk.bsky.social she has weekly drawing challenges. I found #books from my sketchbook that happens to fit the theme so... I took a phonephoto.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

You would think Tuesday was enough people speaking out but hell, no peace for these fascist apologists. Keep the pressure up
Our calls & outrage are working! Sen Kaine, Rosen, Shaneen & Hassan said if they hear from more of their constituents, they could change their votes from a yes to a no. Rs may not be voting for this bill also, so call your R senators too. Keep the phone calls coming bc it’s working! 202-224-3121

If you think the people throwing Great Gatsby-esque parties for themselves, while millions were denied their food assistance, are all of a sudden going to grow a conscience and save affordable healthcare, you clearly have not been paying attention.

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.
Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.
The American people need more from their leaders.

There are a lot of other countries with functional multiparty systems we should look to for inspiration
In a functional party system, this kind of capitulation in the face of authoritarianism could mean the end of the Democratic Party.
In our system, it could mean the end of the two party system. Neither party can represent the pro-democracy majority. It's time for something new.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.
Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous
