The plan would mandate voter ID and ban mail-in balloting, and calls on Trump to issue an executive order announcing both measures. trib.al/vQzhsRB

Yet again, the USA has proven it is being run by a death cult.

Have been a bit consumed about how I ended up with a chronic case of empathy and a desire to see society become more egalitarian. This list was the best way I could try to rationalize how I ended up so upset with the status quo.

The greatest challenge to America is building a future that doesn't rely on exploitation in order to prosper. It's endemic of every country's development in both the America's and is the most damaging remnant of colonialism.

Government's function cannot be to suppress. When suppression is weaved into its functions, it forces the civilians into a zero-sum game of participation. Taxes become unethical and the loss of accountability spreads like a virus, infecting sectors of public to the point of deterioration.

Can't wait to earn my citizenship and dismantle that office and their asinine, kafkaesque function. It is, without question, one of the most maddening circumstances to find yourself in. Being an immigrant is hard enough, why not build a system that promotes success instead of a filter that punishes?

As an immigrant that "fits in" with the ideals of the country that I moved to, this resonates hard. Every time I have to deal with my version of DHS, I get off pretty easily compared to the others sitting in the waiting room that don't look like the demographic and come from far less privilege.

America has got the blues and it’s a bicentennial edition
The blues view might amuse you, but make no mistake
It’s a bicentennial year
A year of hysterical importance
A year of historical importance

The world's most embarrassing 'anything' is invariably the United States.

📌The ads write themselves for the midterms:

“I’M ALLOWED TO DESTROY THE COUNTRY.”
-Donald J. Trump, convicted felon, Feb. 20, 2026

This headline gets me.

BREAKING: Millions of files related to Jeffrey Epstein suggest the existence of a 'global criminal enterprise' that carried out acts meeting the legal threshold of crimes against humanity, a panel of independent experts appointed by the UN Human Rights Council has said

It should be illegal not to put the name and title on the spine of album jackets

Gotta be honest: the person who designed the UI that put "Erase Disk" directly under "Eject Disk" may be clinically insane.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Democracy dies in oligarchy.

Even if we all stop using Amazon, we are always using Amazon because of the fucked way we have built the foundation of the internet.

A brief, recent history of the Washington Post:

1- Trump wins in 2024.
2- Bezos and minions make series of Trump-friendly changes to paper.
3-Readership tanks.
4- Bezos and minions fire tons of employees while telling them the audience just doesn't like what they're doing.

I have maintained and updated a website since 2006. As 99% of the internet can be reduced to some form of generating income, I feel that it is the least that I can do to provide something that doesn't ask for anything other than your attention. Check it out here: kingoden.com/latest

Tim Robinson's version of this is so fucking funny.

Ocean Beach this morning… just wow!!

Greed.

We are here right now because of Greed.

They got their money and now they want all the power because the money doesn’t do anything anymore. They aren’t in the same universe as us. Our morals do not apply to their depravity. They have purchased immunity.

Took the kids to Shoplifter's installation called "Chromeosapins" a few week ago. I always loved this work. I was there the day it the day it was unveiled and feel incredibly lucky to be able to return to it whenever the desire to be bathed in vibrant color strikes.

reminder that a small handful of Republicans in the House and Senate could end this madness today

What if the people we see aren’t the people who are really running this? It sure seems like a lot of super wealthy/powerful people are pulling strings while keeping their hands clean. Trump is exactly the beard they need — A moron who gloats & takes credit. It’s like Bush/Cheney all over again.

Cancel the Super Bowl.

So, what all the drug boats just stopped coming from Venezuela or were there ever any to begin with? Or are we supposed to believe they were just moving weight at the orders of Maduro?
