Gay Gen-X guy living in Chicago. I wanted to be a Muppeteer. In no one’s starter pack. AI is theft. DEVO was right. REPUBLICANS COULD STOP THIS AT ANY TIME

Look, Democrats have no power (voters saw to that), and there is no single bucket of water Dems can thrown on Trump to make him melt away. We are stuck with this, and as much as it sucks, all we have is harm reduction for now.

It's not satisfying, and it's not fast, but it's what we got.

Republicans could end this at any time.

They could impeach and remove.

Trump has been impeachable since day one the first time and this time.

Republicans are traitors.

“We all swore an oath to the Constitution, and I am honestly scared… he’s going through with these authoritarian actions.”
Sen. Brian Schatz

It’s political terrorism on Americans.
And too many Republicans are enabling it.

Here it is for those who don't remember. I believe it was a new definition of "crack" that made this short vanish.

Same! That's like the one with the mysterious cracks. I love it when Sesame Street leans into trippy weirdness.

I've always been a huge fan of the jazzy "King of 8" with Jim Henson's vocals, too (even though the jester at the end struck terror into me as a child).

Oh man this is so fucking true. We thought we finally had some breathing room and then our AC system went belly up. It's always something.

Alisha Grauso (She/Her) @alishagrauso.bsky.social · 5h

We really need to do a better job of warning teenagers and young people that being an adult is just a series of unexpected expenses hitting your bank account every time you think you might be able to build some breathing room. Financial literacy should be a mandatory class in high school.

Is he on the golf course, though? Or is this just another one of those times when he vanishes from the public eye if he's not doing well?

Acyn @acyn.bsky.social · 5h

Jeffries: This is the second time it's been shut down under Donald Trump, and he's nowhere to be found. He's got time to be on the golf course, but apparently doesn't have time to sit down with Democrats to reopen the government.

noseyferatu

6 panel comic, black & white with a *slight* touch of sepia

P1: A window set in a brick wall, its angles all Dutch. Stood before it on the inside of the building --hands against the pane-- is everyone's favourite absolute goblin of a dracula: Nosferatu!

He is staring at us, his lizard-like eyes wide, while his frowning mouth --slightly ajar-- displays a single sharp buck tooth

P2: Nose's eyes open wider, taking on a tall squished oval shape. His mouth bunches up --but does not close-- in horror. His clawed hands move to his right; the left held limply over his chest, while the right is held up and to the top right of his head.

He thinks to himself "ACK! Those neighbours think I'm staring at them..."

P3: In the same position as the previous panel, Nose begins to move to this right, his right hand now slightly out of the frame of the window, and obscured by the outside wall. He thinks "act casual"

P4: Moving further to his right --his right arm now completely out of view-- he continues "Act. Casual."

P5: the window is now empty--

P6: --only for Nose to peek up from the bottom left (our bottom left, mind) of the window, only his wide eyes visible.

Thread. Democrats doing something.

"House Democrats were here last week. House Democrats are here this week. House Democrats will be here next week," Hakeem Jeffries says at the Capitol.

"House Republicans are on vacation right now. That’s extraordinary."

"Well, this messaging effort is going to fail like all the others!"

I wish Xennials would find some other midlife crisis to have rather than "deciding there's an arbitrary age at which people should no longer run for public office."

Go get an ill-advised tattoo or buy a car you can't afford or fuck up your marriage or something, idc, just do it quiet.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

@theconsciouslee.bsky.social denigrated Kamala Harris at every turn from his FBA platform. He called her a “lying tether” and several other slurs. What we’re not going to do is forget any of it.

There will come a day where hardly anyone will admit to voting for or allowing this shit stain to become President. There will come a day will when we will be hard pressed to find a Trump voter anywhere. It will be incumbent upon us to not let them hide.

If you didn't vote for Harris, don't pretend you give a damn about healthcare.

If you didn't vote for Harris, don't pretend you give a damn about Gaza.

If you didn't vote for Harris, don't pretend you give a damn about jobs, the economy, or prices.

Because you didn't give a damn then. Clearly.
