I continue to wonder when Americans will decide enough is enough. As Frederick Douglass reminds us:

โ€œThe limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.โ€

Why can't someone else swear her in? Isn't the oath what's important and not who administers it?

He has paranoid schizophrenia with delusions of grandeur. The Cabinet could and should use the 25th Amendment to remove him. Exhibit A: the video posted today. Many other examples are out there.

The reason older people are protesting: We thought Civil Rights happened in the '60s; we thought Women's Rights happened in the '70s; LGBTQ+ Rights happened in the '80s. But these are being systematically taken away. The President is always flanked by white men. I want a diverse country.

So Trump accepts the gift of a $400 million jumbo private jet and now the Qataris are ... building an air-force base for themselves in Idaho??

This cannot be real.

NYT headline: "Rutgers Expert on Antifa Tries to Flee to Spain After Death Threats"

subheadline: "Mark Bray was teaching courses on antifascism. Turning Point USA accused him of belonging to antifa, which he denies. His flight to Spain was canceled abruptly on Wednesday night."

you'd think a prominent news outlet like the New York Times might mention that "antifa" isn't an actual organization in a long story about antifa, but nope!

and the subhead helps props up a false claim this professor was up to something seedy as something up for debate

Great points by Michael Steele. Tell Pam Bondi her budget is zeroed out. She had a total lack of respect for the Senators. She would not be AG in any other administration.

Targeting more than half the population of the US for a political reason is treason. No elected official or a member of his staff has the right to punish the American people for who they vote for. Withholding money for states that voted for Harris is tyranny and must be stopped now.

Brian Kilmeade suggested we execute homeless people.

How the actual fuck does he still have a job?!?

Post image Deepika Kurup: Innovator for Clean Water
Deepika Kurup (born April 12, 1998) is an American inventor and water advocate who gained global recognition for developing a low-cost, solar-powered water purification system as a teenager. Inspired by visits to India where she witnessed the effects of water contamination, Kurup created a photocatalytic composite that uses sunlight to kill harmful bacteriaโ€”offering a fast, sustainable solution for communities without access to clean water.
At age 14, her invention won the 2012 Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge. She later received the Stockholm Junior Water Prize, the EPAโ€™s Presidential Environmental Youth Award, and was named to Forbes' 30 Under 30 in Energy. She founded Catalyst for World Water to help bring her technology to underserved areas.
Kurup earned her undergraduate degree at Harvard and is now studying medicine at Stanford University. Her work bridges science, public health, and humanitarian impact, showing how young innovators can tackle global challenges through compassion and creativity.

I don't like it and don't use it. I observe that AI has no sense of humor and does not understand satire, and sometimes is clueless about what the topic is.
