When they privatize everything, it isn’t regular people who win. It’s their friends and whoever does what they want.

🇺🇸 is not a business. The more we run it like one, the more we leave those with the least behind. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Dear Elected Democrats,
You have 2 years. Because in the NEXT election if we are still here and get to have one, I will want to know what laws will you break for my interests. Because that is now the question.

😊

If you somehow thought Trump was going to pay attention to any legal injunctions....

This is a great piece.

And, it does make some sense too - the number of camps in my area shot up during the early COVID years. Last I checked that was 100% during Trump's watch.

When you think of it, the homeless camps are modern-day "Hoovervilles". Now that we're hurtling towards another Depression shouldn't we start calling homeless camps "Trumpvilles"? 🤔

This was such a scorcher I briefly considered stealing and rephrasing it. Possibly with the help of Le Chat.

I'm ok. Thank you. 🙂

Kinda feels so.

I mean, I get that a swath of the population really needs a brush up on the topic (and I'm sure I'm overdue for a refresher, myself). But, if I'm turned off by the condescension from the choir, then how do they think it's gonna get more conservative butts in the pews?

I'm a fan of MSNBC in general but for one thing - every time I watch a segment, no matter who's on screen, I feel like I'm stuck in a pergatorial version of high school civics class.

IKR? I'm listening to them bloviate and thinking: "Okay, so what are YOU doing other than talking?" Seriously, if I were this ineffectual at my job I'd be an unhirable "angel of death".

Sounds like time to start carrying a big, fat Sharpie around to use for some light graffiti while I'm out and about. 🤣

if i see one more senator or congressperson posting MAN THIS IS SO ILLEGAL SOMEBODY SHOULD PROBABLY DO SOMETHING i think i might actually fucking black out

I also have to maintain that Pedro Pascal is a beautiful, beautiful man. 😍

“The Democrats didn’t do enough on Gaza, so I withheld my vote to make a statement.”

“Well, Trump won and now he’s gonna destroy Gaza.”

“Yep. We’re paying the price for the Democrats’ incompetence.”

“‘We?’ The Gazans are paying the price, not us”

Pause.

“I needed to make a statement.”

Watching "Gadiator II".

Well, this is... timely.

I thought being unexpected was more the game of Spanish Inquisitors. 😉

I got human rogue - chaotic neutral no less. 🤣

Originally we set this corner up for Maia. Naturally, it soon became Princess Carolyn's.

I was feeling somewhat low until reminded of this song by a friend.

Keep kicking, friends. Eventually it'll bleed...

You gotta kick at the darkness 'til it bleeds daylight.

This track's been on heavy play the last week.

Only 10 minutes in and it's like they're reading my mind.

I really want to see a lot more of this kind of thinking from the Dems than I'm seeing.

I caved to that pressure a couple of summers ago. It's not bad wine. The bottle now has a second life helping Bill care for his succulents.

I'm writing a piece on Trumpite intellectuals making the "spiritual case" for the conquest of Greenland, that it will spur a rebirth of the "pioneering frontier spirit" in America lost in the 1890s. And seeing now they're moving Inaugural inside because it's too cold. So yeah, not so sure abt this.
