We've now reached the "cover for child rape in exchange for earthly power" phase of Mike Johnson's Christianity.

To President Biden and all elected Democrats: Stop playing by rules that no longer exist. At this point, it's not just spinelessness, it's complicity.

Speaker Johnson doesnโ€™t want us to see whatโ€™s in that House Ethics report on Matt Gaetz.

Does he not know about the Streisand Effect?!

Northern nutcracker (Nucifraga caryocatactes) perched with the back towards us on a rusty white painted metal bucket looking to the right.
It is a mid-sizes corvid (the size of a jay or a jackdaw) black with brown tones, with large white spots and a massive long and strong beak, normally used to crush pinecones to extract seeds.

This is in my opinion the most beautiful corvid in Europe. The nutcracker prefers high altitudes where it has become well adjusted to the human presence and frequents huts and other settlements which provide ample easy food sources.

I am old enough to remember the terror of children I knew personally who were consigned to life inside an "iron lung," because of polio infections in the days before effective, mandatory vaccines

RFKJr is old enough to remember that too. So is man who appointed him. (Getty Images photo, mid1950s)

I remember back in 2021 when a bunch of US legal establishment types reacted with horror at the prospect of prosecuting Trump because that's icky banana republic stuff. the reality is the opposite

How do you face fascism? I like Orwell's version: ground yourself in direct and immediate experience, trust your senses, find some joy, turn back to face the fascists and tell truths to combat the lies.

Yes. I've tried to migrate before but friends and family didn't follow. This looks pretty good so far and I hope everybody comes along.
