Any fool can become more conservative as they age, any fool. But to become more liberal, that takes a lot of courage and wisdom... (formerly richardsaunders@boycottutah)

It has to happen. And it can be a rolling strike. Eg.: Air traffic controllers two days. Train engineers two days. Longshoremen 5 days. All grocery store employees 5 days. One wave after another.

Our government is shut down but nobody is paying attention because our president is an idiotic cunt who is sending troops to invade our cities for fraudulent reasons because he’s a pedophile.

So here we are in 2025. Prima facie evidence that our democracy needs a major overhaul: 1. Seriously demented President. 2. Co-dependent Congress. 3. Seriously conflicted and corrupt Supreme Court. We need senatorial seating by population apportionment. No electoral college. 13 SCOTUS.

This photo really encapsulates Texas today. But if Teddy Cruz were included with the same wheeled luggage, he used to escape to Cancun during the power failure in Texas a couple of years ago it would add rich context.

What's the shelf life of soybeans sitting on the ground under a tarp? I hope it is longer than two weeks?

We wouldn't have protests, chaos in cities, any of the division or high tension, 100s of court cases, thousands of lives ruined, farmers and small businesses devastated, prices out of control, prison camps, or insanity if the idiot in the oval didn't create it all 🤬🤬

Goons shooting from rooftops into a peaceful protest.

This is no longer America, the land of the free. We are under siege. The Trump administration has declared war on Americans.

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files.

But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

Greta got a lot of shit for going from climate change to Palestine but there's likely a stronger connection than you think between the fossil fuel industry and the growth of belligerent autocratic states that support or tolerate exactly the kind of thing that's going on in Palestine

It really is staggering to see so many people willing to abandon our 249 year experiment in democracy for an increasingly unstable criminally convicted reality show charlatan.

And the actions of ignorant people that vote against their own interests and that of the country by supporting politicians that empower oligarchs to further exploit them and destroy their personal power, while blaming others for the very circumstances they created. Fodder for fascists.

At least McMaster speaks up. Mattis, Kelly, we can't hear you.
