That it's only half amazes me.

The police were usually happy to collaborate with the Gestapo in Germany, too. History doesn't repeat, but the echoes are deafening at present.

The continuing destruction of democracy and representative government. We can't fix the other things without fixing that.

For me, that's the whole point of blocking. I am saving myself the trouble of thinking about that person ever again.

Block early. Block often.

My friend who is a professor at UT is retiring in May. She is far from being alone, be it retirement or moving away. TX just dumbed down its universities and its standing in education, world-wide. Perfectly on brand for MAGA: moronic, short-sighted, and pointless.

My example was always Save the Whales, but same same.

I'd be fine with that if I didn't know it's about removing women and minorities rather than an actual concern for merit.

Me, neither. I checked.

The nation's agenda is about wealth - for a very, very few.

Absolutely. A person is a person, and every adult should get to vote.

We need to establish a new government in this nation. The existing system and the people who implement it have failed us.

I have given up on televised news. I get my news from Bluesky now, by following (and donating/subscribing to) @democracydocket.com, @contrariannews.org, and @propublica.org. Even @pbsnews.org platforms too many RWNJs and does too much both-sides nonsense.

It just tells me that I've drifted further and further away from pop culture over the years. I don't miss it.

BB certainly represents the ordinary people better. Sauron represents the billionaires who own almost everything and control (to the detriment of the rest of us) everything else.

An image of Frodo and Gandalf having a conversation: "I wish it had not happened my time, said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But the Dow is over 50,000."

It's a corruption of the actual lines from the novel and movie to parody a particularly awful political figure, Pam Bondi.

Bondi is the kind of trash about which that little bit of trash at the bottom of the dumpster says, "That's just nasty."
