Politically, we need truth and common sense, and we don't get that from either major party.

🦉 🪶 🐤 🦜 📸

Two large all-white birds with massive fleshy beaks made for scooping up fish and large orange legs and webbed feet stand on a small rock that juts out of the water. One is sitting behind the other with their heads facing left and right. A light mist surrounds them. The rising sun makes the water and mist appear to glow a golden color.

I stare, transfixed by what appears to be a portal into another world in the back of this old armoire. I'm overcome by dread as I imagine what might await on the other side and then I begin planning the supplies that my young children will need when I send them through.

Told my wife tonight that on the one hand, I lived in NY and the Yankees were my team when I fell in love with baseball in highschool but on the other hand, fuck the Yankees.

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs:

1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?

2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?

3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.
