No Kings in Carlsbad, CA, but there were frogs.

Not even pretending not to be a fascist.

The sadly ironic death of Charlie Kirk: the untimely death of a human being pulls at our heartstrings, even as he was a victim of the same violence he so cavalierly dismissed. We should be better than this, and we start by rejecting Kirk’s view that any deaths are a fair trade for 2A rights.

I know, broken clocks and all that, but when Brian Kilmeade gets something right, you know we’re in trouble.

Mike Johnson is lying, but let’s pretend he’s not. The only way the Bureau would use a pathological liar like Trump as an informant is if he was a co-conspirator and would record conversations with Epstein and other targets. So, let’s hear the tapes!

Thanks for including me!

Trump making deals and giving preferential treatment to sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell while she helps cover up his crimes.

Dear @stephencolbert.bsky.social,

Thanks for all the years of speaking truth to power & finding the funny in fascism.
Looking forward to following you wherever you land,

Your fan, Mar🐫

It’s quite clear leadership and the rank & file at ICE have disregarded their oath to uphold the Constitution and have embraced a culture of impunity; they know what they are doing is wrong. When democracy is restored, ICE will have to be dismantled and rebuilt under better leadership.

Thanks for adding me!😃

When the world seems to be falling apart, you may feel you can’t afford to take time away from the important work of trying to help hold it together. But it’s a marathon, not a sprint, so take a walk—or a swim—in nature; it will help fortify you for the long fight!

🤣🤣🤣🤣

What we learned yesterday.

The Times They Are a-Changin'

It’s clear the leadership and rank-and-file at ICE have disregarded their oath to the Constitution; ICE will have to be dismantled when democracy is restored.

While Trump was on his Bribe-Me tour of the Middle East autocracies, his henchmen continued to undermine our democracy; in particular, Stephen “Discount Goebbels” Miller floated the idea of suspending habeas corpus. We must fight his corruption and authoritarianism—everywhere, all the time.

There’s always room for one more in the Trump clown car.

Trump has always been a breathtakingly ignorant man, a conman & a criminal, and as president an aspiring autocrat & tyrant; summed up in his short answer to Welker’s simple question:

Welker: “But…don’t you need to uphold the Constitution of the United States as president?”

Trump: “I don’t know.”

🤣🤣🤣

Sad, but true.

Maybe, maybe not; but we’ll never know because, in this case, he didn’t stand up.

🤣🤣🤣

Outspoken on Trump? Really? When he had the chance to weigh in on the 2024 election, he punted and said he didn’t know who was “the lesser of two evils,” when one was evil and the other was not.

Maybe great for a Pope, but he couldn’t quite figure out who the bad guy was between Trump & Harris. When his voice could have made a difference, he punted.

“You must choose the lesser evil. Who is the lesser evil? That lady or that gentleman? I don’t know.”
—Pope “I don’t know” Francis

Not sure he’s all that special; religion is probably the oldest con in the world, and one of the easiest to pull off.

We should refer to him as “Robert Francis Kennedy, Jr.” Use his full name, just as we do with other mass murderers.
