SEN. KELLY : “They informed me of this in a tweet because this is not about the law. This is about the media cycle, and intimidation… We basically repeated the uniform code of military justice, and they're saying that's in violation of it. It's absurd. Comical.”

Trump wrongly indicted me. I’ll rightly impeach him.
Impeachment isn’t just an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent — but is it working?

Maybe putting a dozen narcissistic poser Fox hosts in charge of sprawling federal agencies with millions of combined employees and vastly important responsibilities with enormous power wasn’t the greatest plan.

Let’s keep hearing Democrats express how TRULY obscene this administration is, instead of playing “It’s the good old days when we fought like dogs but laughed over martinis after hours” game.

It looks like the regime of political leadership is about to fail - & drag us down with them, saddling the US with insupportable financial and moral debt - as the bottom-feeders scurry to the next shitpile and the techbro billionaires execute a controlled demolition to prepare for post-Trump world.

Some claim “Russia is ready for peace.”
Meanwhile Russia launches a massive combined strike on Kyiv - drones, Kalibrs, Kinzhals, Iskanders, ballistic missiles.
That’s their idea of “peace.”

Home Depot allowing ICE to “detain” laborers in their parking lots is violence. Target rolling back DEI is betrayal. Amazon funding this regime is corruption.

The research articles we produce with AI can now be reviewed by AI with nearly human-level performance, assigned to students who use AI to submit term papers similar to those done by humans, which can then be graded by AI too.
Or, you know, we could just read, write, and think with our brains.

Ha ha ha ha. Does anyone really think that 10 years later this regime would come up with a health plan? The GQPs have been against Obamacare but have no plans of their own. Dear leader doesn't really care because he and his family have no worries. A new health plan from them will never happen.

Trump went on a late night posting bender last night on the war in Ukraine. He criticized Biden, he criticized the U.S., he criticized Ukraine, he criticized Zelensky, he criticized our European allies. The only person he didn’t criticize is Putin. Only Putin.

Trump thought that returning to the White House would make inflation, wars, and economic gloom vanish. He’s discovering that magic doesn’t exist and his promises evaporate faster than a tweet lost in the interstellar void.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

#WeAintBuyingIt — Target, Amazon, Home Depot. Your aisles are stocked with exploitation, your profits built on broken backs. This holiday, we’re walking out to shop local.
Local isn’t a trend — it’s a revolution. We won't put money in the pockets of fascists.
