We've seen this in the US before - National Guard versus protesters. It did not end well. American soldiers should never be asked to target American civilians in the name of "peace". ICYMI: www.cnn.com/2020/05/04/u...

We’ve set up a new task force to help keep you safe. At the last nationwide protest, 11 MAGA supporters were arrested for assaulting peaceful protesters—thanks to local authorities. We have coalition members at protests across the country to help monitor and stand alongside you.

For all the idiots out there: tariffs are taxes. And when the US gets tariffs imposed on us because of the man-child you voted into office, that means taxes on US citizens will rise. Thanks to…REPUBLICANS.

Smoke that in your smug pipes, dumbasses.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.

A tweet from "Covie" (@covie_93) that reads: "Speaker Mike Johnson from the great state of 'Louisnana' wants to get rid of the Department of Education." Below the tweet is an image of a large blue curtain featuring an emblem with a pelican and the words "SUPREME COURT" and "CONFIDENCE." The word "LOUISNANA" is prominently misspelled instead of "LOUISIANA." The mistake is highlighted with a red circle. In the foreground, three judges in black robes are seated at a table.

Can’t make this up.

Most Japan firms stay committed to diversity despite US moves, Reuters survey shows More than three-quarters of Japanese companies have no plan to pull back from promoting workplace diversity and decarbonisation despite recent policy changes in the United States, a Reuters survey showed on Friday.

Because we also need to acknowledge the glorious cuteness of living beings, too.

Then, back to making good trouble.

There is no room for cowards in the Democratic Party. Get on board or get out of the way.

Looking at you, Schumer, Durbin and the other 9 mewling milquetoasts who kowtowed to the dipshit-in-chief today.

It's Pi day. It's a Friday Pi day.
I'm having pizza and looking for the small wins today.

We (the American people) are many - they (the oligarchs) are few. Let's remind them that they exist on (literally) our sufferance.

Trump Voters Knew What They Were Voting For And Why You Shouldn't Let Them Off the Hook

Cathartic read. They got exactly what they voted for. You have no responsibility to sugarcoat their short-sighted, selfish asshattery or make excuses. Gaslighters gonna gaslight.

They did this, and now we all reap the whirlwind.

Ten reasons for modest optimism Friends,

Keep fighting. Every thing we do MATTERS. All is never lost.

When the former inmates talk, no matter what we think of them, perhaps we should listen….

Propublica is a good place to throw some money if you have some. Also finding Wired and Rolling Stone to be doing good work -- and I know Wikipedia is under assault by Muskian efforts.

Just wrote my congresspeople about the crap being pulled by the current WH incumbent and his cronies.

Let's see who answers.

Teehee, keep it going, birds….

And now for something completely awww-inspiring...

Making the jump away from the billionaire boys clubs and away from the algorithms.
