WTF?

WTF?

Trump's war is a masterclass in how not to have a master plan.

Today should be your 38th birthday..
When you lose your son you lose more than a child you lose a piece of your heart and your joy. Life is forever altered, and nothing can ever fill that space. Yet in my soul, he remains, my precious boy, forever loved. His laughter, his smile, and his love are woven into who I am. My love for him will never fade. Yor are my pride and my joy - you've made a change that cannot be broken..

RFK Jr. claims the Trump administration has made progress on its β€œMake America Healthy Again” agenda, yet Trump’s EPA is stripping away lifesaving protectionsβ€”exposing more than 9.5 million Americans to toxins tied to cancer, autism, and other lifelong health concerns.

Hating the Game The cooperation game, the murder game, and acting in good faith with people you know are acting in bad faith.

Today I wrote about the racist accommodation to the racist response to Bad Bunny's Super Bowl show; the moral hazard of extending good faith to those who act in bad faith; and how alienating white bigots is actually part of the solution, not a part of the problem. www.the-reframe.com/hating-the-g...

Honestly, my favorite REM songβ€”it’s one of, if not the, most beautifully moving alt-rock songs ever, alongside "Losing My Religion."

Billionaires are psychopaths and sociopaths. They do not hoard billions of dollars because they have empathy toward mankind and care about the planet. In fact, it is they who are behind the biggest child sex trafficking ring we know ofβ€”we have all the records but none of the justice. #arrestTrumpnow

Agreed. Abolish what we have right now and rebuild something humane.

Billionaires are psychopaths and sociopathsβ€”no exceptions. You don't hoard billions of dollars because you have empathy toward mankind and care about the planet. You are narcissistic and only care about man-made currency and material goods.

The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. Put it in your cell phone. Use it. If you're not calling at least once a week, you're not doing your part.

Minnesota may be known for our lakes, Bob Dylan, and Prince - but our civic engagement runs deeper.

If Donald Trump intended to make an example out of Minnesota, then I am damn proud of that example.

So apparently the first and second amendment are now optional with this shithole admin.

Funny because MAGAts always virtue signal about β€œdon’t tread on me.” Apparently the new motto is comply or die.

YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
