The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. Put it in your cell phone. Use it. If you're not calling at least once a week, you're not doing your part.

Oh, and it’s actually kind of a love story! If that doesn’t pique people’s interest along with the title, then, frankly, there’s something wrong with y’all.

Yes, It’s Fascism — The Atlantic Until recently, I thought it a term best avoided. But now, the resemblances are too many and too strong to deny.

Hey! Thanks for finally joining us! Jump in! The water’s fine! Sorry not “fine,” I meant “fascism” and we’re drowning in it and many of us have seen this deluge coming since 2016! Perhaps none of this would be as bad if the media hadn’t pussyfooted around and both-sidesed it for so long!

Man… this is REALLY awkward…..

Can’t wait for @jaketapper.bsky.social to write a book about Trump’s constantly diminishing mental acuity three years from now. He’s been a mess since his first term. His Biden book came out and it was like the meme dog in the burning house complaining about the fire alarms in his last apartment.

Know your rights if ICE show up.

An important piece from @kimwehle.bsky.social and Zeteo:

Rough week… here are recumbent cats to help calm you. Valentino and Kaiju:

Soooo, with Portland today that’s, what, 11 shootings by these assholes since September??

One of my many protest signs from over the past years…..

Abolish the SS - um, I mean ICE. Then, dismantle this entire regime and prosecute everyone from the top down on hundreds of possible, well-deserved charges, from murder to fucking emoluments; they run the gamut.

Venezuela to export $2 billion worth of oil to US in deal with Washington — Reuters Caracas and Washington have reached a deal to export up to $2 billion worth of Venezuelan crude to the United States, U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday, a flagship negotiation that would div...

@reuters.com Hey! Can we please NOT refer to this as a “DEAL?!” Y’all need to check yourselves….

Are we there yet?!?! What does it take?! Remove him from office and dismantle this administration and there damn well better be thousands(?) of court-martials from the top brass to insignificant pencil-pushers.

The horns and whistles work What it's like to watch community activists stand up to a Border Patrol raid.

YouTube video by C-SPAN Rep. Magaziner (D-RI) asks DHS Secretary Noem Why She Deported a U.S. Army Combat Veteran

I actually watched this twice. Well done Rep. Magaziner, well done….

Expression? Phrase? Maybe “locution?”

The entire premise of this article is “rage bait.” I’m so disgusted that this TERM - not a “WORD” - and its runner-ups even exist….. Damn, everything sucks.

He absolutely had my vote!

Could do the same cartoon swapping in MTG
