The Dancing Bluebird

When Republicans are pre-butting a pro-democracy rally like No Kings and making shit up left and right to scare people, you know they're losing and in panic mode.

Pedal to the floor.

We’re not dealing with brilliant strategists cleverly laying traps, we’re dealing with impulsive whiners whose advantage is contempt for laws, norms, and morality.

They’re not pulling some elaborate trick, they’re just willing—even eager—to do things regular, principled people consider off limits.

It's horrifying!

I'm currently reading "February 1933" and would also recommend it. "Marseille" is on my list!

Like little kids playing soccer, it too often seems that everyone runs to follow the ball, in this case the Administration's twisted ploys, instead of maintaining their positions, composure and game strategy. I really appreciate the points you made in your article which did leave me more optimistic.

This is such an important point that is too often forgotten.

Lying publicly to protect a child rapist while rocking a crucifix is the essence of the MAGA self-lobotomy required to live in their broken world.

Just how disgusting does Trump need to be exposed of before someone says ENOUGH

Yet another shameful and horrendous decision by this SC.

Perhaps Johnson momentarily got the details confused with one of his porn fantasies.

So happy that Massachusetts has once again stepped up to the plate! 💙
