Awkward Heretic

I think they're going to try REALLY hard to convince themselves. They'll likely lay off some folks they think they can replace, and within a month will be pissing their clients off.

*cough*oracle*cough*

Hey Pam Bondi: the Dow dropped below 50,000.

So NOW can we care about children being raped?

They have the ability to hold executive branch officials in contempt.

If the executive branch ignores a judicial ruling, there is no longer a rule of law. The executive branch is in full rebellion.

Oh it's SO much fun catching the very smug prof of philosophy I know falling for a Stanford right wing student being propped up to make insane claims and posting the evidence. Especially since the article he posted was ableist as hell.

Yuuuuup…

A corollary to Hitchen’s Razor is that anything said by Ricky Gervais can be ignored because it is unserious and, exceedingly more often than not, unfunny. Greta Thunberg has much more integrity and skin in the game than him. Besides, choosing silence is a political statement dumbass.

It's amazing to hear a celebrity who cannot stop opining on literally everything telling other celebrities to shut up.

It's especially amazing because, whatever else I could say about him, I would have thought he could at least recognize irony.

Mocking trump is fun and all, but the fact that he ruined the Kennedy center is really way down on my priority list folks.

I'm more concerned about his very obvious goal of stopping the midterms.

Hey is it good when cops are told about a new law and are just like "lol nah"

We all knew the cops won't do a damn thing to oppose federal agents ahead of time and so did Newsom. Empty tolkenism from Democrats for optics is something I'm sadly used to.

The Trump regime just arrested journalists Georgia Fort and Don Lemon. The free speech bros must be so angry!

Unless the free speech bros were lying and only ever cared about themselves…

Lol, the speech bros being the same people who hate pronouns and want to silence anyone saying that maybe we should treat others as we would like to be treated?

Yeah, I'd say the latter for sure.

I only heard about it because I've been on leftbook more than is healthy this week.

I'll be real, I don't think these one off Fridays are going to mess with the wealthy enough to have an impact, though small business may well feel the pain even if they're excluded. Gotta start somewhere though

We definitely need a better way to get the word out.

Wait, there’s an actual general strike? Today? I wasn’t online much yesterday at all. Focused on household tasks and tennis. But I had every intention of a bunch of errands today (since I finally cleared out the driveway). But if there’s a real strike, there’s no way I can do that…

ICE’s excuse for wearing masks has never actually manifested There have been incidents of harassment and threats. But there are no apparent incidents in which identified ICE officers have been assaulted off-duty.

Finally got around to a bit of research I'd been meaning to explore, and: There is no documented instance of an ICE officer being identified and assaulted while off duty because he wasn't masked. www.pbump.net/o/ices-excus...

I posted something in a Facebook legal forum that I thought was a really obvious "am I missing something here" thing, and literally every single response has been people clearly having read none of it.

I should know better.

I've never seen a so-called non partisan moderate vote with her party in nearly lock step to the degree she does in all of history. It's all talk with her.

Same with a Josh Fetterman and a Lisa Murkowski

We have long evolved past the need for a Susan Collins

It's amazing that Schumer can't make the logical next step, when we consider that her boss had to probably hear from a whole lot of underlings how bad it looks, and yet, all they did was move bovino.

Their orders are to protect public buildings at a time when the sheriff's department was confiscating water presumably to try and get folks to go home.

I'll apologize to Walz if they actually do something for the people, but I don't see it happening.

And I've definitely voted 3rd party for potus many times. I might even do it in 2028, because CA is so overwhelmingly blue my vote going to a 3rd party helps boost them in a place where it doesn't mean a GOP win.

For what it's worth, I registered as a republican one year, I can't remember which, and voted for McCain in the primaries, because the democratic field was pretty lame and I figured the least shitty GOP candidate winning would be acceptable if the dems lost, but he lost the primaries that year.

Hey NRA, are you good with this?

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

O'Hara made a great speech, but his department isn't doing jack shit to defend the people protesting.

I'm told it would be a legal quagmire if they did, but shit, talk is cheap.

Good morning.

If you attend church this morning, I hope it’s one that addresses the inhumanity of recent executions by ICE.
