He can't stay awake. Or walk. Or speak. I'm so sick of the GOP denial. The embarrassing flattery parades. The complicit press standing silent while he drones on incomprehensibly or insults colleagues who dare to question his lies. Or laughing obligatorily at his non-jokes. I'm just so tired of it.

Women aren’t just refusing to “shut up” — we’re dismantling the whole playbook. Misogyny is the regime’s spine, and women organizing in huge numbers is how democracies survive. From DC to Tennessee, we’re feeding neighbors, flipping districts, and breaking their script. Hell no.

"I chose a crass serial rapist and adulterer, who calls women 'nasty' and 'piggy,' and took away by daughters' reproductive rights, over my daughters. So why are they displeased with me??? It must be all THEIR fault! I take no responsibility. NONE!"

If it is the stance of this administration that drugs are weapons in armed conflict … shouldn’t my right to bear those arms not be infringed?

📌Maybe stop using the term "double-tap" as if you've been doing it your whole life, and not just the past 48 hours.
You sound stupid, but worse (much worse), are helping to sanitize a heinous war crime and mass murder.

Living the MAGA lifestyle means you drive a truck made in Mexico, post conspiracies on a phone made in China, and scream ‘America First’ through a Russian bot account.

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

The arts can have effects beyond what you might expect.
I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

My prediction.
The Epstein files will not be released. They will be leaked. By a woman as there are no brave men left.

Telling survivors to "make peace" without accountability is just protecting the abuser, not the abused.

Trump blames Hegseth, Hegseth blames Bradley,
If what they are doing is legit, why aren’t they taking credit for it? Trump’s faithful flock already believe the baby raper can do no wrong.
Maga, if you want Trump to be your king of kings, do him a favor, nail him to a cross so he earn his crown.
