We are the shithole nation.
We are the citizens of a rouge, murderous empire.
Our leaders are butchers.
That no one in he Republican leadership -- and none of his GOP colleagues -- have found the voice to condemn this utter trash says everything about them.
On either Facebook or Threads (I honestly can't remember which), I remember him making a comment about how he wasn't happy with Bluesky, but I honestly don't know if he left intentionally or just put more focus on his other socials.
I don't think Stonekettle wants to come back, but you can still read him on Threads and Facebook. 😀
Makes one wonder if the corporate media execs and even their "journalist" stars like Jake Tapper were promised New Zealand bunker space when shit hits the fan.
Joe Biden had nothing to do with the high price of eggs in 2024, but he was blamed nonstop by the GOP, and corporate media went along with it.
Donald Trump has everything to do for the high price of gasoline in 2026, but he'll get no blame from the GOP, and corporate media will go along with it.

I don’t think unconditional surrender is imminent.
Sadly, David Simon is correct.
Irony was seen getting a noose ready and saying, “Fuck it. This is the peak, man. You don’t need me around after this.”
And his aides are freaking cowards--they're too afraid to tell him the GD truth that his war isn't working.
Me! ✋🏼
Not really breaking any news here.
Bigots and racists should probably leave first and then we'll see how it all works out.
To quote Stonekettle, "if you want a better nation, be a better citizen."
And, hell, yes, I'll blame voters. If voters were engaged enough to vote locally and consistently instead of barely cracking 60% every cycle, maybe voters would elect better people over the long term. Today's Congresspeople were yesterday's City Council, School Board, etc. members.
Putting aside the fact that Kamala Harris isn't "evil," even if she seemed that way to you, the most logical choice as a voter would be to choose the LESS EVIL viable candidate, no?
I always love how their argument is always how "Leftists" have to be catered to, pandered to, engaged, and bribed to vote, and if they don't vote, it's the fault of the candidate. But Black People have to suck it up and vote or it's THEIR fault. Ever notice this? It's disgusting.
Last year, at least 32 people died in ICE custody — the most in 2 decades. Reports show at least 9 have died already this year. How many more before Republicans act?
Trump & Republicans cut Medicaid & SNAP to give this lawless agency an extra $75 BILLION.
Not one more dime.
I’m not trying to hear “Democrats caved” from mufuckas who’ve been walking around bragging about not voting or voting third party for ten years.
Fuck all that.
You gave up years ago.
Why are we fucking listening to you?
This is the Platonic ideal of a social media exchange, never again to be equaled or even attempted:
“Our government is treating the suffering of the Iranian people as a backdrop for our own entertainment, as if it’s just another piece of content to be swiped through while we’re waiting in line at the grocery store.” www.archchicago.org/statement/-/...
AOC: The Pentagon has not passed an audit, and they are out here trying to kick people with disabilities off of Medicaid. It is corruption that is stealing from the public coffers — and that is the actual waste, fraud, and abuse.
There is no legitimate argument for not abolishing ICE and prosecuting everyone involved like a criminal gang.
So the people who protested Kamala Harris and Joe Biden and still are actually did so even though republicans controlled the weapons and purse strings the whole time. And they did this to help elect netanyahu's best friend who is now fighting netanyahu's war for him. How embarrassingly nonsensical.
Our troops are dying this isn’t a video game. The White House is posting so-called “hype” videos that mix real footage from the war in Iran with clips from movies and video games like Call of Duty. It’s an absolute disgrace.
This is not the best part of the firing, but it’s in the Top 10.
Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.
How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.
Any time they say it’s a “Christian” nation, that’s antisemitism and Islamophobia. It’s not even coded. In a nation of multiple faiths and the faithless, it’s a goddamn insult to exclude everyone else.
