The horrors persist, yet I remain silly
My uncle was a perfectly healthy 5 year old. No co-morbidities. No health concerns. Born fit as a fiddle in 1942. He caught measles. Even sick, he was happily playing, jumping on the bed with my dad, until he wasn't. He collapsed and never got up again. He died shortly after. NO ONE DESERVES TO DIE.

I'm shocked that after the success of Wicked, and given the climate in the US, a Cabaret film remake hasn't been announced.

What a sick and evil individual. The Trump regime's comments in the past few days should be viewed as one of the greatest scandals of our time.
Reporter: Do you think it would have been fitting to lower the flags for Melissa Hortman who was killed as well?
Trump: Uh, I’m not familiar, who?

The Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History is now censoring its own exhibits to serve the political goals of the Trump administration. How much longer before we must conclude that it is no longer interpreting American history for the general public? www.washingtonpost.com/entertainmen...
Smithsonian removes Trump from impeachment exhibit in American History Museum
A temporary placard, on display since 2021, described the president's historic impeachments. Officials said the exhibit was restored to an earlier version following a review of legacy content.

COLBERT: You warned everyone…he would prosecute political enemies, cut Medicaid, alienate our allies, give tax cuts to the rich. I know you're not here to say 'I told you so' but would you like to?
HARRIS: You're correct. I did predict a lot of that. But what I did not predict was the capitulation.

A week ago, Pam Bondi went on Fox News claiming the files were sitting on her desk. Now, in a fabricated letter to Kash Patel, she insists she never received them.

An affront to America, its history and its inhabitants.
Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order today officially designating English as the official language of the United States, reversing nearly 250 years of tradition.

The goal is to terrorize federal workers into quitting. That’s it. Constant changes. Canceling work from home then closing offices. Laying off probationary employees. It’s designed to break the government. Then privatize it for profit. It’s not efficiency. It’s collapse. Only peasants will suffer.

It's understandably cathartic to let off steam but destroying your own life only helps them.
There will always be people and groups in your local area that are looking for people to help actually fight fascism and protect others and that's a lot more cathartic than online temper tantrums.

I cannot emphasize enough how stupid it is to publicly threaten DOGE employees with violence.
You might think it's fun to blow off steam, but trust me: the FBI raiding your home at 5am is not fun. A federal criminal case will bankrupt you and ruin your life and career.
