10pm and I'm sitting in bed wondering why we haven't shut down everything in this damned country yet to bring fascism to its knees.

I feel like too many of us are just saying, "Ride it out and hope we can undo it in the midterms."

If that's our collective "strategy", it's a concerning one.

well we all remember the apocryphal saying, when fascism comes to america it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross and also in the guise of the stupidest most vile child raping piece of shit who ever lived

Morning. ☕️

Disbanding ICE and prosecuting everyone from at least middle management up remains the moderate response. I'm not a moderate tho, I think everyone on their payroll needs a referral to the Hague

Utah…

There is a a Black-owned bookstore in Las Vegas. It is called Analog Bookstore. Please support!

I truly cannot stress just how ecstatic I will be when that man is dead and I don’t have to ever, ever, *ever* hear about anything he does

People outside publishing have no idea how onerous and unworkable it is.

“It’s just a tool! People used to hate on photoshop too.”

Take away my photoshop, take away my tablets, I can still draw. Take away your plagiarism machine and what are you gonna do? Shout prompts at me?

My policy vision: Prosecution. Jail. Revenge.

This is very good.

The economy is so good that I'm firing the BLS Commissioner for reporting numbers so grim I refuse to believe them, and also demanding the Fed cut rates typically seen during a recession.

BREAKING: We’ve filed suit against ICE for unlawfully arresting individuals who appear in court for their immigration hearings.
These actions undermine due process and violate basic legal protections. We’re holding them accountable.

We need a Foghorn Leghorn for the left.

This thread shows exactly why Dems can’t produce a Stephen Miller, which is that Dems think the motive force behind a Dem Stephen Miller needs to be a policy vision, when in fact the only pursuit on the D side that should produce that kind of single-minded obsession is CRUSHING STEPHEN MILLER

Off the rails.

Nature’s masterpiece! Behold the beautiful Mandarin duck (Aix galericulata).

There was an actual tapestry. Inside the original double album cover is an image of the needlepoint I worked on when I wasn't playing or singing. You can see where I stitched the words "thank you" before I gave it to Lou.

Donald J. Trump @realDonald Trump • 19h + In my opinion, today's Jobs Numbers were RIGGED in order to make the Republicans, and ME, look bad — Just like when they had three great days around the 2024 Presidential Election, and then, those numbers were "taken away" on November 15, 2024, right after the Election, when the Jobs Numbers were massively revised DOWNWARD, making a correction of over 818,000 Jobs — A TOTAL SCAM. Jerome "Too Late" Powell is no better! But, the good news is, our Country is doing GREAT! 5.32k 8.77k 40.4k

Drought in Utah.

Nothing says climate policy like skipping brunch and hoping the sky notices.

Sure seems like the President of the United States is going to pardon a convicted sex trafficker and serial abuser who ran a pedophilia ring with his best friend in the whole wide world.

Fascist regimes depend on lies.

always said this :-)
