Mike Johnson suggested replacing Bad Bunny with (checks notes) Lee Greenwood for the SB halftime show?!? What a wonk.

I wonder what ‘brief’ she’ll conjure, considering there’s no organization called ‘Antifa.’ She sure does fit the maga woman aesthetic, though.

I wonder how she’ll feel up close to commander tiny-grabby-hands.

I don’t know that 75 million support it, but some of that number are apathetic and will do nothing. That’s just as bad.

This is an excellent idea. We can still volunteer to get necessities to those in need (immigrants in hiding, disabled people, the elderly, children, etc.) so the strike doesn’t go so far as to hurt those we don’t want it to hurt. I’d volunteer.

Hm. That leads to the extremely-difficult-to-answer question of breaking laws to save the country while they break laws to destroy it, or not. I don’t know the answer.

So why is California the only blue state being proactive about combating their cheating (gerrymandering redistricting)??? We need to do everything we can to keep the 2026 elections as fair and representative as possible!

OpalEidolon @opaleidolon.bsky.social · 12h

I call for this too!

Apparently that’s what the current wannabe American‘leadership’ looks like. We have to be our own leaders from now on.

This is really bad. The president should not have plenary authority.

I miss checks and balances.

Vol-au-vent earmuffs or headphones, though

Sigh.

You can’t just demand people “be in jail” when A) they’ve done nothing wrong, B) had no due process, and C) were doing their jobs effectively and you just got butthurt about it.

Sure. Canada may tenuously be trade partners with us again someday, once maga and bloaty the hutt are gone. Will they ever love us? Probably not.

For a group of people who never apologize, maga sure is into demanding apologies.

That would be great. Who is going to enforce those changes and police them? That’s our problem.

Louis ck is the lowest of scum. He ruined the careers and lives of multiple talented women in Hollywood and then got to continue his career unscathed while they had to rebuild their lives.

I know this because one of those women is a childhood friend.

He will always be the lowest of low.

I’m voting yes. Why aren’t any other blue states doing anything?

OpalEidolon @opaleidolon.bsky.social · 1d

And hiding behind his mask.

OpalEidolon @opaleidolon.bsky.social · 1d

That’s beside the point, I’d love to see everyplace doing it.

Portland, LA, every city infested with ICE vermin, adopt this service model!

I’m feeling that way about all crimes against non- magas now, always worried that we’ll only ever get fake stories or none at all.
