Republicans and especially the orange pedophile can't govern to the point the government shutdown again so why would we expect them to take care of anyone hurt by their incompetence?

Our cover this week.
Just to be clear, if I ever found myself as wealthy as even the least-wealthy billionaire, you would never see my ass again. All you would see is a large, unmarked yacht drifting around the world sending puppies to orphans via drones.

Dow down 1600 points as of this repost. For fun I like to think about how unhinged people would be if it had been Biden and Harris dismantling the country and tanking the economy for personal gain. The amount of incompetence, lawlessness, and treason we are "tolerating" these days is too damn high.

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.
Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow
As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy

People concerned they're not hearing truth via other news outlets they've trusted? I highly recommend tuning into @meidastouch.com Not only do they break down the stupidity we are witnessing, but they counter the lying propaganda that's turning so many people toward hateful GOP ideologies.

Remember to get out of the house and consume art when possible! Escape the poison tide. Buy! Donate! Tonight I saw a powerful 1-act performance by my daughter and her HS theater group, and I am amazed how their talent has grown these last few years. Art is necessary, foster it persistently.

Great to see @markhamillofficial.bsky.social on a site where he can post a picture of his dog and not get hollered at by ignorant trash. Also, I want to hug Mabel too.
In troubling times, people experiencing high stress or crippling anxiety deal with it in different ways. Some have a therapist, some have a deep breathing exercise & some even have a personal mantra.
I have a Mabel.
