This powerful message: β€œI did the research and found out I was wrong.”

I’m not going to say much more except please take the time to watch. Then send it around to family and friends, no matter their political persuasion.

Who could've guessed joining a make-believe Resistance against an Evil Empire would ever happen in real life?

Fear has a way of being contagious.

But courage is also contagious.

Americans need to realize socialized medicine is a GOOD thing, not a scare word. Your precious private insurance isn't as good as you think. And both Canada and the UK will let you get private insurance on top of that.

He probably figures (correctly) if he stands up to Trump he'll fire him and replace him with Aileen Cannon. :p But that's no excuse. His legacy is residing over the complete destruction of the integrity of the Court and making it clear to everyone that the partisan hacks are in control.

After playing a fictional member of the Resistance a long time ago, I never could have imagined it ever happening in real life, but here we are.

People fuck up, but Wild Coast Raw is literally killing cats and declining to take ANY responsibility for it.

My COMPLETELY INDOOR cats ate batch 22660. They are still acting like the bird flu results were fake.

My stud who does not eat raw was negative.

This WILL kill cats. This is evil.

Another reason to ❀️ Costco.

While Target and others cancel diversity to appease Trump, Costco’s investing in the communityβ€”building apartments above its stores, starting in LA.

This $425M project includes 184 low-income units, with key services, plus a rooftop pool and fitness center.

In today's episode of "We Told You So", how are people who didn't vote for Kamala because of Biden's policies on Israel and Gaza (you know, the guy who got them to agree to a ceasefire before he left office), feeling now?

LAPD clearly has problems. Many years ago I was in Santa Monica across from a supermarket and watched 5-6 cops all pile on an unarmed and harmless looking homeless guy. It was clearly excessive use of force. But it was before the days of taking videos of things like that on a cell phone.

Trump cuts communication from health agencies despite growing bird flu threat
YouTube video by MSNBC Trump cuts communication from health agencies despite growing bird flu threat

So I've been wondering how far back this time was that America was supposedly "great" that the MAGAs want to go back to and finally figured it out: the time of the Black Death. I guess it was great for the natives living there before the Europeans came and fucked everything up. :p

I already cancelled my US Prime, AMC+, and Amazon Music over the cancelled endorsement of Kamala. I guess losing $30/month wasn't enough. And I told them that was why when I canceled Prime.

That sounds like they're getting dangerously close to getting me to cancel my subscription. :p And that goes for any newspaper who thinks obeying in advance is a good idea.

So, watching what's happening in the US I'm getting more convinced that in Elon's drug addled mind this is a live action Sid Meier's Civilization game he paid a LOT of money to play and we're all just NPCs he wants to take over.

As democracy is perfected, the office [of the president] represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron. H. L. Mencken July 1920
