It is reassuring to see that Barack Obama's mere presence still instantly turns Republican bigots into a barrel of unhinged shrieking eels.

"Every single American must speak out against this Facist administration." So If Slow Jimmy 'round the corner or Sue who slings hash at the diner doesn't speak out right now...the republican will fall?

Another really good @proleftpodcast.bsky.social today. I like it when people I like and respect come together. @driftglass.bsky.social , @bluegal.bsky.social , and @juliusgoat.bsky.social in one show, though not in person. Get it where you find all fine podcasts, and probably some shitty ones too.

For years on my old blog I published the names of servicemembers who died in Iraq & Afghanistan. No other outlets were.

These are the first 4 Americans to die in the Iran War.
Capt. Cody A. Khork, 35
Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42
Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39
