It’s the diplomacy version of “I haven’t seen the tweet” 🤦🏻‍♂️

Sadly, we Americans too often need to learn things the hard way. We might be the world’s oldest democracy, but we sure do act like teenagers with underdeveloped prefrontal cortexes

Yesterday I tried to put everything I knew about whistles—where to get them, where to get instruction sheets, how to distro—into one place so you can build off it for your own community's whistle needs: dansinker.com/posts/2025-1...

A few years ago my wife convinced me to take a similar approach with the annual leaf cleaning. She’s a smart lady!!!

“SEDITION IS A MAJOR CRIME” - but not if you’re Enrique Tarrio or Stewart Rhodes?

Dick Cheney’s Long, Strange Goodbye On seeing Rachel Maddow at the former Vice-President’s funeral, while Donald Trump threatened Democrats on social media with death by hanging.

“There can be no better summing up of the reordering of our politics in this era than the scene on Thursday in that lovely church where Washington marks the passing of ages.” @sbg1.bsky.social writes about Dick Cheney’s funeral and this “bizarre” time in politics.

That’s special. Mine was a plain white tuxedo shirt with a sorta sparkly forest green cummerbund and matching bow tie

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Wyden Presses for Investigation Into JPMorgan Chase and Epstein

EPSTEIN BOMBSHELL: my staff is releasing a new report showing JPMorgan Chase executives – all the way to the top – enabled Epstein's sex trafficking operation. You're going to want to read this.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Pin this post: Within the next few years and likely for a few years after that we will see investigations into the destruction and hiding of evidence on the Epstein case that will touch everyone at the highest levels of this administration and haunt Trump through his last years.

It’s the school voucher scam wearing a Halloween costume

This is good. We need new faces and we also need to light a fire under incumbents. They need to know that we demand leadership, strength, and unity in the face of Rs’ authoritarian moves

On a related note, it’s fun to imagine a D senate with Chris Murphy as majority leader

America's most notorious child rapist, Jeffrey Epstein, said this man was the worst person he'd ever met. Let that sink in.

How can they refuse to let you show something that’s in the public record at this point? They published them, so they’re publicly available. They’re probably searchable in public libraries. What am I missing here?

Yes - but do you think most people will get that. My guess is that Reich’s take will become the consensus among most Americans cuz they remain “low information” voters

I really hope so. My fear is that most people will be ignorant and/or fooled and we will continue our slide toward the vulgar decadence of the commanders in Handmaid’s Tale. I remain hopeful, but still fear a future like that

STEWART RHODES (FOUNDER, OATH KEEPERS): I've been invited to speak across the country about January 6. And now that I'm relaunching Oath Keepers, I'm getting more invitations to come speak as well. So, yeah, I'm relaunching the organization and rebuilding it. ... They tried to take us out after January 6 but what man means for evil, God will use for good. I came out stronger after it, and so my goal is to rebuild the organization stronger than ever because it's an essential mission. Absolutely. JIM HOFT (HOST): Oh, that's wonderful news. So the Oath Keepers is going to have a relaunch here, and Stewart's breaking that news this weekend? RHODES: Yes, sir. ... RHODES: I mean, I have to make sure that if I'm ever taken out again or if I'm or when I'm taken out again, that the organization can drive on without me. That's not what happened last time. ... So we want to make sure it's got resilience and redundancy built in that it can drive on strong. With the same mission, though. You can't call yourself an Oath Keeper if you're not willing to protect people against radical antifa and other leftist violence in the streets.

STEWART RHODES (FOUNDER, OATH KEEPERS): And one other thing I want to say is that President Trump, as commander in chief, always has absolute authority to call all of us up as the militia because every one of us — in federal statues defining the militia, it's every able-bodied male from age 17-45. And for us veterans, it goes up to age 64 because of our prior training and experience. Right now, under federal statutes, President Trump can call us up as the militia if he sees it necessary, especially for three purposes: to repel invasions, to suppress insurrections, and to execute the laws of the union. And right now, we see all three of those in play. ... And the militia is all of us. So the National Guard is part of the militia, which is why it's completely lawful for him to use the National Guard as he has, and he should do more of that, I think, across the country. ... He could just say given the circumstances of an invasion, insurrection, and resistance against federal law being being enforced, I'm calling up the militia, ordering all the men to come together [in] every county, put the veterans in charge of training and organizing all the other men and just have them stand too and await his orders. He can do that and I think he should do that. And so that's what I'll be advocating for from him. So from the bottom, from down the rank and file, we can let President Trump know that we're ready to serve, encourage him to do that, call us up as a militia, order us all to come together in our counties under his command, which gives you complete legal sanction to do what you're doing.

New:

On The Gateway Pundit's podcast yesterday, Stewart Rhodes announced he's relaunching the Oath Keepers

He also urged Trump to “call us up as a militia" & "order us all to come together in our counties under his command."

This is awesome. I don’t buy into the “they’re all the same” narrative, and I also don’t think this is that. I think this is mostly about perspective. But I think it’s also about deception and obfuscation, which are very real political problems

They better keep on fighting!

Really? From whose perspective, exactly?

Nothing to this one but venting: The transphobes are the most cowardly of bigots, people so terrified of what's in their pants & what's not in their hearts that they make it a calling to terrorize those who've done the work to know who they are. Mice have more courage, slugs have more grace.

post-election coverage #satire

She did a fantastic interview with @maryharris.bsky.social the other day. People should totally listen to it!!!

I absolutely adore broccoli rabe!!! Sometimes my wife’s nana would put a big chunk of pepperoni in to flavor the beans. It’s such a simple dish and yet so comforting. I actually requested it for my birthday dinner this year 😊

Our polling place ran out of ballots and we had to wait for more to arrive from town hall. Poll workers said participation was off the charts!

Our polling place ran out of ballots. Had to wait for more to arrive from town hall. Poll workers said turnout is off the charts. And this election is 100% local this year - only candidates and initiatives for our CT town of about 35K. I’m super pumped right now!!!
