I should talk to my son about this. He's lost most of his D&D group over the years since college. Life goes on for many but some kind of get stuck. He loves D&D and should definately set up something like this in Denver.

Well of course they would...it's the right thing to do. Americans NEED freaking health insurance that they can afford.

Thins are certainly falling apart far faster than I'd ever imagined they could. But with Trump's failing health I guess they are supercharging their take over and eventual Republican Dictatorship.

The cover for the book, Read This When Things Fall Apart: Letters to Activists in Crisis. The cover art features a person wading into a body of water in the woods at night.

The table of contents for Read This When Things Fall Apart is a crisis directoryβ€”β€œread this if…” [insert heartbreak, setback, disaster, or breaking point]. I wish I could gift a copy to every activist in Chicago. You can donate a copy to an activist in need here: www.akpress.org/read-this-wh...

I listened to the smarmy bs that Johnson's been spewing. There is NO excuse not to swear her into office. If the Republicans can fill a SCOTUS seat in EIGHT DAYS they can fucking well swear in this woman NOW! She has waited long enough.

Marge seems to be off her meds again. I was enjoying the peace and quiet lately. Bobo and Greene have both been rather quiet and I find that un-nerving.

He's very much like my brother was....he had an IQ of 72. He would spread lies but not intentionally, out of ignorance. Trump hides his school records not because of the grades...but because he was in Special Ed.

I think Trump and the Republicans have made it very, very clear that Trump is all over the files! We don't really need anymore confirmation do we?

Literally every study ever conducted shows that working consistently longer hours doesn't increase productivity beyond a few weeks. So why are tech and finance bros so adamant that they want to spend their entire lives working? Enjoy your life while you can guys.

Trump's invasion This weekend marked a major escalation of his campaign of terror.

New in PN: Trump's invasion

"The Trump administration’s war on cities just entered a new, more terrifying phase. What stage of fascism is it when the president defies a court order and sends troops into a city anyway? Because as of Sunday, that’s where we’re at."

I think my favorite squirrel deterrent was a feeder called the Yankee Flipper. There was a bird store on the Cape that sold them and played a video of the squirrels attemptint to get food from the feeder. Their weight would cause the thing to spin until the squirrels went flying! Hysterical!

So here is my question. Let’s assume Miller & Co. are successful, i.e., they deport, jail, kill, all of the β€œundesirables.” What do they think society is like then? Like, what happens when they realize there’s still crime, drugs, and no one around to do half the jobs, from manual to skilled labor?1/

perhaps the biggest story TFPever ran was a catastrophically shoddy argument that George Floyd ackshully died of an overdose. When confronted with irrefutable evidence that the piece was simply wrong, Weiss didn’t take it down, she asked her critic, @radleybalko.bsky.social, to come on a podcast.

Forged KGB Documents Used to Smear Journalist in Parliament | The Walrus Ex-MP Chris Alexander accused David Pugliese of being a Russian spy. Forensic experts now say the evidence was fabricated

It was the height of irony

At a meeting on Russian disinfo, a former cabinet minister accused a veteran journalist of being a spy

But the papers waved around as proof didn't say what was alleged

And now they appear to be forgeries

Ice is saying

50% of it's trauma causing arrests are collateral...

50% weren't even targets, but by skin color or hurt feelings, they got harassed and traumatized to our government laughing about it.

Real Americans just like YOU.

Wrong place wrong skin color, and you know this is all BULLSHIT

Interesting....you just made me think about my son's recent lupis paniculitus diagnosis. I wonder if covid could have had a hand in that? It's only just been discovered...he had covid some time ago so probably not connected but it makes me wonder.

NO FARMER BAILOUT

Farmers keep voting for their own destruction & my tax dollars shouldn’t be used to fund it. Trump’s expected to announce a new bailout. He wrecked them w/tariffs, then acts like a hero by bailing them out w/our money.

They’ll cash the check, then vote to burn it all down again.
