So these two were in my backyard this week, looking for a little shade during the heat dome...

Hey, dude. Can you come out and play?

#Dylan said it best:
"They say that patriotism
is the last refuge
to which a scoundrel clings.
Steal a little and they throw you in jail,
Steal a lot and they make you king."

There are elections in these US states on November 4, 2025. Quote this with #VoteBlue2025 to get out the word and aim to dominate these state elections.

I will keep this pinned until the elections are over unless I have an important message to pin temporarily.

Trump Wants to Merge Government Data. Here Are 314 Things It Might Know About You. Elon Musk’s team is leading an effort to link government databases, to the alarm of privacy and security experts.

Welp, the DOGE & Pony idiot show just keeps a-chooglin' on, steamrolling anything like sense and getting ready to bankroll themselves with the endless monetization opportunities our private data enable.

So, #project2025 is basically a rip-off of the 1994 #Republican playbook that came out of all those hilarious misreadings of PJ O'Rourke's #Parliamentofwhores. Eliminate NEA. Destroy the IRS. Bathe in bureaucratic blood. All they've learned in 30 years is the way to implement a flat tax is tariffs.

One ding-a-ling to rule them all,
One ding-a-ling to find them,
One ding-a-ling to bring them all
And in the darkness, bind them.

It's just water anyway, with some rice ballast and like one bazillionth of a hop leaf. But in terms of sticking it to the wealthy fascist goons, I'm 100% with you.

In 1929, Antonio Gramsci said, "The old world is dying and the new world struggles to be born; now is the time of monsters."

Tragedy and farce just go on playing their horrifying game.

It was a tough decision for me, for the reasons you list. Ultimately, I just can't support his propaganda machine and sickening reach anymore, so in addition, getting off of Amazon, no more Prime video, no more Kindle, no more Whole Foods. Will it matter? Not to him.

Yup. Happy to count my quick exit among the losses.

I'm tempted to say "Cogito ergo doom" except that #felon47 and his goons clearly don't actually cogitate.
