Democracy rando. Refugee who fled a lifetime in Cali, the state of money over people. Sucker for hiking, snow, wide open spaces, no traffic, clean air, rivers, animals, gardens, children, families, history, constitution, rule of law, the truth.

ARRRGH!!! Virtue signaling is for people who don't want to be virtuous. Giant crock. Visit Cali and you'll see it everywhere. Including lawn signs. Same people consistently vote down rent control, legal protection for gig workers, and they're NIMBYs. But don't listen to me. I only lived there 61 yrs

Hey @nytimes.com, still think democracy qualifies as bias? Here's a tip from Raymond Chandler to Kingsby Publications, which gets "hundreds of authentic cases" every week.

Phillip Marlowe: "Why don't you print a few?"

Investigate all U want. But if U don't print what's authentic, what's the pt?

Great tribute. Redford wasn't just a friend of NM, he was a part of it. My own tribute is maybe more than any actor, he's responsible for my interest in movies. As one obit stated, he embodied an American ideal. One that's under seige by you know who. We can respond by holding true to peace & love.

Condolences to all mourning Robert Redford today. Magic on the big screen & often behind the camera. There will never be another like him. The second half of Butch & Sundance is gone. End of an era. Hard day. Last I saw him on the screen in cameo w/George RR Martin in a Navajo jail on Dark Winds ๐Ÿ˜

News flash for outgoing @durbin.senate.gov. This is why Democrats are polling in the toilet. Everyone knows you don't stop bullies by pretending they aren't bullies. And this schmo is a freaking US Senator. No wonder he won't run for re-election. Get a freaking clue, man.

Why does anyone ask RFK Jr. questions anymore? We all know he'll say something stupid. We are not amused. Just let him jerk off and go about his business. He should be facing a corner and wearing a dunce cap. And John Fetterman can eff himself to oblivion.

Does Trump know that squatting and making that face looks like he's trying to take a dump? Never mind that he couldn't squat his 79-yo carcass if he had all day. It's not napalm or deportations he's smelling... and since when do deportations smell?

Right before Labor Day, The New Mexican ran an editorial exhorting Santa Feans to "support democracy." Now you run this column from MAGA Milan telling us that we shouldn't be able to vote on the obelisk. Does this paper support democracy or not? Stop giving a platform to this anti-democratic clown.

First, plenty of union members vote Republican. And unions collect dues to represent their members in the workplace. Second, keep Mark Twain in mind. When you wrestle with a pig, you just get dirty and the pig likes it. Don't retaliate against Trump undemocratically. He wants us to take the bait.

If "human" Trump (I use the term very loosely) is now a glassy eyed, slack jawed, drooling mess, then who is posting to his social media? How easy would it be to train AI to post like Trump? Just be the world's biggest jackass.

Ndidiamaka Okpareke (who?) is trying to take a cheap shot at @repstansbury.bsky.social by claiming the MN shooter was mentally ill _because_ they may have been trans? That's not how the mental health professionals see it. Even if she's right, how would an ill person get an assault rifle? MAGA is how

Safe to say the Kiwanis Club isn't the most radical group out here, right? But even they plan to turn Trump dictatorship into a public spectacle. The question is why aren't YOU calling him a dictator? It's not the job of the Kiwanis Club. It's YOURS. Instead you feed us MAGA concentration camp BS.

No, gerrymandering isn't going to stop at CA. Because it's retaliation. It will lurch back & forth and escalate to other voter suppression. Like banning mail ballots & closing polling places. When we fight fire with fire, the whole world burns. Instead consider ending winner take all elections.

"This appears to have been the plan all along."

Moreover, when we fight fire with fire the whole world burns. Voting for something doesn't make it democratic. Ever read/watch "The Ox-Bow Incident"? Dems could just stop being led around by election consultants & campaign on fixing our democracy.

And wtf is "cracker barrel"? Is it a bunch of crackas tumbling out of a barrel like monkeys? Is that why MAGA likes it?

Great, my kid saw this and now he's bugging me for a walking talking Orange Buffoon Doll for Christmas (but not more than two.) Thanks Uncle Jeff!

And the Newsom AIs are getting hilarious. Instead of copying Trump AIs, they should keep sending out their own crazy crap like the guns/dinosaur/flag AI

Let's pretend Trump gets into "heaven." Afterall, there are more stars in the universe than people who have ever been born. So there's some remote chance. What Trump would find is Twilight Zone Heaven -- where he gets whatever he wants but can't cheat for all eternity:

Sorry but I hope you're not suggesting Dems should retaliate by gerrymandering. Democracy protests are precisely what forced TX GOP to make political martyrs out of Dem legislators. It's the perfect opportunity to push our demands even farther. Don't commit the acts we condemn. Trump will crumble.

Brilliant as usual. I'd just change @jamisonfoser.bsky.social "privileging the lie" to "privileging the BS." When the media started this under Reagan, it was mostly lying more or less. But as a true autocrat, Trump pushes way beyond lying into gaslighting fabrication.

Newsom AI images trolling Trump are funny. Still don't like the posts in Trump gibberish. Because the media have been "privileging the lie" or what I call "privileging the BS" since Reagan:

Regurgitating Trump gibberish, even in satire, normalizes it in media

Hey @nmpope.bsky.social quitting the redistricting TF is a shameful political stunt. U know a commission would only draw _state_ legislative districts not CDs. You're getting punked by the fascist John Block. Get back to the TF and work on an independent redistricting commission.

What's happening in TX is an American political spectacle on the level of the Watergate hearings 50+ yrs ago. Should lead the news cycle every day until resolved. This is nothing less than totalitarianism. A representative elected by the people is being held illegally as a political prisoner.

NM stands with our Dem neighbors in TX who have 24-hr police escorts to prevent them from breaking quorum in the TX legislature. Especially Rep. Nicole Collier. 46 of us attended our local protest in support of breaking quorum over anti-democratic GOP gerrymandering:

Brainiacs, gerrymandering is self serving by definition. In the case of Dems, it's retaliation not the restoration of democracy. You want a story? How about the betrayal of all of us who protested tyranny the last few months? How can anyone criticize Trump when a bunch of critics are reciprocating?

Gerrymandering isn't an issue of moral virtue or strategy. The issue is whether you want to live democratically or not? Do you want to decide your future or do you want someone else to decide it? What you propose is retaliation. You're making all of us who protest Trump tyranny look like hypocrites.
