Over an hour in, and only 106 watching. The party is crap.

@democrats.org
Screen shot from YouTube, showing only 106 people watching the DNC General Session. Way to draw people in!

Am I right @kenmartin.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social ?

There is something fatally wrong with the party and especially the New York State party.

blue dogs addicted to that corporate cash are killing us all.

He was SOOOO close 13 years ago, when he said he'd have a man on Mars in 10 years...

Accountability has to return soon, right?
Classic YouTube screen shot of the WSJ YouTube page. The video is titled: "Elon Musk: I'll put a man on Mars in 10 Years". The age of the video is 13 years old, as of August 6, 2025 when I took the snap shot.

Today's attire.. Guessing most people in town (Huntington Beach, CA) don't know its Canadian election day.
Wearing my "Le Canada n'est pas a Vendre" T-shirt today. "Canada is not for sale".. the picture is older and was posted before, hence why there is an Onion paper in the photo, with DUI hire Pete Hegseth on the cover over n article titled "Unpopular Pete Hegseth Forced to Drink Lunch Alone"

Weak ass attempt from Gavin Newsom. The picture is of a screenshot I took of the e-mail from Gavin Newsom. Subject Line is "trust". Preview line says "Donald Trump is destroying Brand America". Sorry Gavin, can't trust you.

Two thoughts about this on my walk this morning:

1) Huge if true that HB libraries are full of porn and

2) I really don't want to see Councilman Chad Williams' Internet search history.

Smacks of absolute desperation from the fucks at Huntington Beach City Council.
Special Elections sign for Huntington Beach special election about the Public Library. Sign on Heil and Springdale they says " Protect of Kids from porn. No on A & B. paid for by Protect our Children with Councilman Chad Williams"

and this was from @proton.me
the 3 posts from Proton explaining thier GOP Support - "orporate capture of Dems is real. In 2022, we campaigned extensively in the US for anti-trust legislation. Two bills were ready, with bipartisan support. Chuck Schumer (who coincidently has two daughters working as big tech lobbyists) refused to bring the bills for a vote At a 2024 event covering antitrust remedies, out of all the invited senators, just a single one showed up - JD Vance. By working on the front lines of many policy issues, we have seen the shift between Dems and Republicans over the past decade first hand. Dems had a choice between the progressive wing (Bernie Sanders, etc), versus corporate Dems, but in the end money won and constituents lost. Until corporate Dems are thrown out, the reality is that Republicans remain more likely to tackle Big Tech abuses.

Here was the Proton CEO in December..

(1/)
Andy Yen - CEO of Proto in a since deleted tweet.. "Great pick by @realDonaldTrump. . 10 years ago, Republicans were the party of big business and Dems stood for the little guys, but today the tables have completely turned. People forget that the current antitrust actions against Big Tech were started under the first Trump admin."
