fall back, spring forward. now slide to the left, now slide to the right

I think it's important to remember, with everything extremely fucked up and dumb right now, that at the root of it, fuck fuck fucking fucking fuck.

Under the U.S Constitution, the President is very explicitly not a king. The President's wishes and decrees do not magically become law.

One day, when it's safe, when there's no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it's too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this

looking forward to this

I'm stoked she's here. Also just affirming that "This is a Nice Mushroom" is always grounding in this stupid chaos so... keep doing what you do.

He's not**, I think you mean?

So much for states rights, huh?

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

HB 1662 is DEAD! Legislators heard loud & clear that Hoosiers want help - not handcuffs - for the unhoused community.
We will continue to remain vigilant as language from dead bills can be amended into live bills, but for now, please celebrate your advocacy efforts- they made all the difference.💜

Ok that made me laugh

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

It's weirdly difficult to remember that Trump's popular vote margin was /less/ than Hillary's in 2016. Biden got more votes in 2020 than Trump got in 2024 and Trump surrogates all under-performed in congressional races.

This is not a mandate, I don't get why it is being portrayed that way.

A page from A MEMORY OF LIGHT with the following sentence underlined: “The good options are gone, Rand. Better to do something desperate than to do nothing at all."

Feeling both good and bad while reading A MEMORY OF LIGHT for #TarValonOrBust these days. Feeling seen but I wish I didn’t. #WheelOfTime

SB 1 would give a little bit of property tax relief to some Hoosiers - but would cut millions of $ from school and community services for ALL of us. This bill will be voted on by the Senate Tax Committee Tuesday morning. Send comments to chairman Sen. Holdman at s19@iga.in.gov, 317-232-9453.

The Revolution Will Not Be Televised You will not be able to stay home, brother. You will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out. You will not be able to lose yourself on skag and skip, Skip out for beer during commercials, Because the revolution will not be televised. The revolution will not be televised The revolution will not be brought to you by Xerox In 4 parts without commercial interruptions. The revolution will not show you pictures of Nixon blowing a bugle and leading a charge by John Mitchell, General Abrams and Spiro Agnew to eat hog maws confiscated from a Harlem sanctuary. The revolution will not be televised. The revolution will not be brought to you by the Schaefer Award Theatre and will not star Natalie Woods and Steve McQueen or Bullwinkle and Julia. The revolution will not give your mouth sex appeal. The revolution will not get rid of the nubs. The revolution will not make you look five pounds thinner, because the revolution will not be televised, Brother. There will be no pictures of you and Willie May pushing that shopping cart down the block on the dead run, or trying to slide that color television into a stolen ambulance. NBC will not be able predict the winner at 8:32 or report from 29 districts. The revolution will not be televised.

There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down brothers in the instant replay. There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down brothers in the instant replay. There will be no pictures of Whitney Young being run out of Harlem on a rail with a brand new process. There will be no slow motion or still life of Roy Wilkens strolling through Watts in a Red, Black and Green liberation jumpsuit that he had been saving For just the proper occasion. Green Acres, The Beverly Hillbillies, and Hooterville Junction will no longer be so damned relevant, and women will not care if Dick finally gets down with Jane on Search for Tomorrow because Black people will be in the street looking for a brighter day. The revolution will not be televised. There will be no highlights on the eleven o'clock news and no pictures of hairy armed women liberationists and Jackie Onassis blowing her nose. The theme song will not be written by Jim Webb, Francis Scott Key, nor sung by Glen Campbell, Tom Jones, Johnny Cash, Englebert Humperdink, or the Rare Earth. The revolution will not be televised. The revolution will not be right back after a message About a white tornado, white lightning, or white people. You will not have to worry about a dove in your bedroom, a tiger in your tank, or the giant in your toilet bowl. The revolution will not go better with Coke. The revolution will not fight the germs that may cause bad breath. The revolution WILL put you in the driver's seat. The revolution will not be televised, will not be televised, will not be televised, will not be televised The revolution will be no re-run brothers; The revolution will be live.

A dog on a chain close to her master is still a dog.

MORE OF THIS FOR THE LOVE OF GOD

This morning, extremist anti-democracy members of the Elections Committee passed SB 201 & SB 284, despite bipartisan opposition. Please contact your Senator at 317-232-9400, or find their email and direct number on our tracker at MADVoters.org, and tell them to vote NO on SB 201 and 284.

My hot take. Being called a racist, misogynist, a trans/homophobe, bigot, etc because someone voted for a racist, misogynistic, transphobe, homophobe bigot isn't name calling.

It is astonishing that mainstream media is covering this like it is a shruggie vibe 🤷‍♂️

Of course, I do! Are you forgetting in your post that you wanted to levy all the pain and suffering to the states that voted red, then went on a long tirade about how it's not fair YOU have to suffer because of the EC? Maybe instead of yapping into the void, call your congressmen.

Cool. Have fun with your journey.

No kidding, dude, you're not an island. We're all pissed. Try something new, and maybe it'll change.
