As American politics continue to devolve I am less concerned with how I identify my particular ideological subscription at any given time and more concerned with being in favor of human civilization as a general concept

It still blows my mind that the lawless government paramilitary stormtroopers from every 1990's conspiracy theory have arrived and all the don't tread on me 1776 people just pulled a fade.

I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

what the fuck are we DOING here

Solid bet because, you know, only gay men wipe & wash their asses. Real men leave skid marks and use the n word.

There had better be trials. And not just for the low-level thugs carrying out these orders, but for everyone up the chain of command.

If we get past this, the solution isn’t to pretend it never happened and invite Stephen Miller to Harvard’s Institute of Politics.

It’s trials w real punishments.

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

I read reports like this and have flashbacks to Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's "The Gulag Archipelago." It's torture and terrorism by the state, and only this time it's being done by America, "the land of the free."

My new (used) iPhone just arrived. It's a "premium renewed" iPhone 13 mini (because I can't stand a large phone). Based on the damage on its edge, it was clearly owned by someone who believes in allowing their phone to run around naked and bump into shit. *shakes head*

Trump standing there

When it's time for your big solo during the elementary school Christmas Pageant and one of the 3 Wisemen passes out next to the manger

In New Jersey, a single mother struggled to figure out how to feed her two young sons with $50. In Oklahoma, a 61-year-old woman questioned whether driving to a food pantry was worth the gas money. And in Colorado, a woman grabbed food from a Walmart dumpster.

Richest nation in human history

Feels like the Democrats should maybe put up a website showing all of the Trump Flight Cancellations?

The more democratic elements of the American constitutional and economic order are actually throwing up road blocks to Trumpism. Protests and boycotts and low level courts and juries and cetera. Elite actors on the other hand are all too frequently caving. Fascinating study in who actually cares!

It's 2025, and I had so many male coworkers talk at me about genitalia (theirs or in general) last season. But I'm sure that's my fault for not finding it funny or appealing. So please God, will you yeet these authors and others like them into the sun? Pretty please?

I love Bruce so much: it’s just so delightful to have known her for years. Bonus: the kids are always wild to see her. ❤️❤️

Kids watch Bruce intently

Bruce seems very tolerant of humans. She might even particularly like kids. She seems out and visible more often on Saturdays, when ski school has huge kids programs and we often stop by to visit and chat with her. 3/

Okay, here’s the promised video of Bruce, nomming on some tasty pine needles. ❤️❤️❤️ 2/

Bruce is porcupine who lives at the bottom of Spruce at Breckenridge Ski Resort. She has lived in the same tree island for some years, and she’s a real favorite in ski school. Video and a tiny story in the next skeet. 1/

I knew it would take less than a day for a tiktok dj to make something.

Mamdani is also quite far from a literal communist, so my best wishes to right-wing commentators when a candidate to the left of him emerges.

Relieved that voters resoundingly rejected this fascist bullshit.

Angry that we still have at least another year of it, probably another three, and that we're by no means in the clear.

Livid that it all could have been avoided if we had simply not reelected the asshole who tried a coup.

This might be the best day on BlueSky ever for me. It’s pretty amazing to join in such a loud outpouring of online collective jubilation and hope. ❤️

New York assemblyman Zohran Mamdani confronts Border Czar Tom Homan today in Albany 👇🏻

A few days after the presidential election one year ago, we went to Fordham Road in the Bronx.

It was a little different last week.

“I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life”

I hate figuring out which school board candidates to vote for. I can vote for three, and five are running. One is obviously a right-wing asshole. But the other four? I've read some columns by the candidates and Q&A responses... and dammit, I'm no wiser.
