43rd State Blues

I'm so damn tired of the US cycle where Republicans kill our economy, move wealth to the richest 1%, and start a war and then Dems have to clean it up. Then once they get on the right path, Americans are impatient or fixate on some GOP created culture war, and think they should have fixed it all in less than 2 years and re-elect GOP liars who will start the cycle again. Absolutely exhausting.

A man committing a heinous act of racism during public testimony in a legislature session in Idaho has led to something this cursed needing to be said.

It needs to be said because the defenders of the extremely racist stunt are using trans people existing as a bad faith false equivalency.

😡😡😡😡

This Day in History: President Abe Lincoln said, "y'know, we've got all this damn land out in the Northwest just sittin' there doing nothing. Wut if we had someplace out in the middle of nowhere to put all those crazy-ass wingnuts? I know — we'll call it 'Idaho Territory!' Yeah! Who's got a pen...?"

@achillesid.bsky.social can we count on you to not take 1.5 million dollars from aipac and then get americans and a bunch of other innocents killed in the war we will be calling ww3 a year from now?

The Justice Department has sued more than two dozen states for refusing its demands. #idpol

Too bad our media isn’t alive to report on this.

We're easily amused...

This is why I don't leave the house anymore...

When Don Jr. came to town for a $300-a-plate dinner, our community showed up too, for each other.

While elites gathered inside, we stood outside in solidarity and held a food drive to support workers who are currently going without pay. Because leadership should serve people.

"The compromise" is extremely apt. It's not about the needs of the young people involved. And I say that from the experience of having been that young person and also having been the parent of a trans young person. Ironically those who can still manage care can have a better experience.

🧵 from Talia and where we're headed in the US, where we already are in many places, ie: trans people will continue to medically transition just as we always have, and more so. I've worked with two MD's & an NP, and they've been good. But I also had to become expert myself, and steered my own course.

This is Benjamin Netanyahu's son Yair. While working class American service people are dying in the gratuitous war his father and Donald Trump started, Yair is poolside in Miami chilling.

No word on where Donald Trump's children were, just that they were 100% *not* wearing a uniform.

You're completely right Kevin. Guess this was the book Hogsbreath read...

Wow I forgot Clinton was disposed twice while he was President. Republicans can stop with the nonsense a sitting president can’t be deposed.

Our voices carry through generations—speak, rise, and never be silenced.
