“If freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.” – George Washington

It’s strange to watch Americans memorialize soldiers who died for democracy whilst they giddily embrace fascism.

When the President of the United States says he doesn’t know if he should uphold the Constitution, it should be a searing red line for every American.

If you let him ignore ANY aspect of the Constitution you embolden him to ignore more of it, including the parts that secure YOUR freedoms & rights.

Everyone in the past was neurotypical, which is how we got things like this single-author, eight-volume encyclopedia of ferns

Weather and climate research funds are being “chainsawed” from NOAA's budget. Last I checked, Louisiana & Florida, which are maximally susceptible to Hurricanes, voted Red in the last General Election.

Yikes. He shared it himself not long ago… and already forgot… Trump now claims he “had nothing to do with” a depiction of himself as the pope, even though it was just posted on his and the White House’s accounts. It was offensive, un-American, and disgraceful and that’s putting it mildly.

Pritzker: It’s time for us to be done with optimism about their motives. Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research… Autistic kids and adults who are loving contributors to our society don’t deserve to be stigmatized by a weird nepo baby who once stashed a dead bear in his car. Our military service members don’t deserve to be told by a washed-up Fox TV commentator, who drank too much before being appointed Secretary of Defense, that they can’t serve their country simply because they are Black, gay, or a woman.

Dear god let this man cook.

Hi, I’m God.

All Trump supporters go to Hell. All of them.

Good Night World

God wasted a perfectly good asshole when He put teeth in her mouth.

I think murder-mystery dinner theater is unnecessary because I already enjoy dinner as it is, but if I was at the post office or something and one of the employees popped out like "Omg Doug's dead and we need YOUR help to find out who did it!" I'd be like okay I'm 100% on board let's do this

Longest speaking filibuster ever was 24 hours, 18 minutes by Strom Thurmond in opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1957.

In a few hours, that record will be shattered by Sen. Cory Booker, a Black man, laying out the case for saving democracy from an aspiring despot.

The CDC has literally been gutted today.

There’s no need for “April Fools” when reality is a nightmare for every human on this planet.

Thousand of scientists fired.
Entire departments erased.

Woke up, can’t fall back asleep so I’m listening to “The Tommyknockers” while willing my hands to function. Cross-stitch might be beyond my functionality these days. 😤 This is King’s best era, IMO. 🖤
