Both could be true, too

JUST IN: The Republican Mayor of Fairbanks, Alaska’s second biggest city, lost re-election last night to a Democrat.

Mayor David Pruhs is a conservative who fought protections for LGBTQ+ residents; he made comments this year drew condemnation this year from Alaska Natives. He lost to Mindy O'Neall.

"Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia" should be how Democrats begin every single comment to reporters these days.

I wish we could get this in America... I'd drive the wheels off of it! on @roadandtrack.bsky.social www.roadandtrack.com/news/a688466...

Continues to be my favorite radio program and podcast, and continues to prove why @micahloewinger.bsky.social was the right choice to step into the co-host role.

As always, Margaret Brennan managed his lying and deflecting responses better than Kristen Welker did on MTP today

Why Conservatives Are Attacking ‘Wokepedia’ A crusade is growing against Wikipedia, which says it is intent on keeping a neutral point of view.

Maybe because reality and truth have a secular and liberal bias?

Are they going to build a special camp for Boy Scouts?

Screen capture of a tweet picturing the Trump/Epstein statue in front of the capitol, with the caption, “The statue of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein has returned to the National Mall today,” and the reply, “And no workers to remove it! Priceless!” due to the government shutdown.

@muellershewrote.com @dgcomedy.bsky.social This is pretty funny

An FBI agent was just fired for refusing to participate in the arrest and perp walk of James Comey, but sure, we don't live under a fascist administration.

50 months, and Epstein only got 18 months?

Lemme guess: Madison square garden?

So Trump is defunding the police.

He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers. He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries. He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance. He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation: For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us: For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States: For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury: For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences: For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies: For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments: For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever. He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.

Just gonna keep tapping the sign*

Republicans are fighting to make sure this happens to their own constituents.

Transgender low grocery prices? Not sure how that’d work.

Transgenderly low levels of fascism? I’ll take that!

Republicans don’t need a single democratic vote to fund their regime. Here’s why. Please share widely.

"Republicans run the entire government but can't keep it open"

That's it. That's the whole story.

Looking forward to the #sistersinlaw episode about this one…

The reason behind Hegseth putting the entire U.S. military at risk is out ... and it's ridiculous. trib.al/m2bwNSM

When Trump spews his bullshit about an American city, or university, or whatever, it’s vitally important that locals provide these simple but effective rebuttals

Photo from the 1970 Bug-In at Orange County International Raceway, California showing a VW based dune buggy sponsored by Dune Buggies and Hot VWs magazine. The people around the car are sporting the era’s fashion in impeccable style.

My brother is in town for my mom’s birthday, and we were going through some old slides that my dad took back in the day. There’ll be a smattering of them in days to come, but here’s a teaser from the Bug-In at Orange County International Raceway, California in 1970. I was 3 so I didn’t attend.

See, when we all collectively decided to stand up to fascism, we can push it back.

Our fate isn't inevitable. But it's up to enough of us to care enough, and consistently so, to prevent a permanent authoritarian fascist future.
