I am looking forward to this hearing.

It will provide an excellent opportunity to remind people of all the reasons why Donald Trump should he serving a long federal prison term.

Oh man, the New York Young Republicans implicated in the Nazi groupchat scandal ran up a $23,000 tab eating filet mignon and drinking at a hotel in Syracuse -- a city with one of the highest child poverty rates *in the nation* -- and then refused to pay the bill.

The more time has passed since this infamous day nine years ago, the more I'm convinced we need a "broken windows" approach to oligarch criminality. Failing to prosecute this obvious scam led directly to Musk buying the election, the horrors of DOGE, and countless other terrible outcomes.

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

Good morning and happy Tuesday to everyone. Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir drops today and contains the truth she wanted the world to hear about Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, who groomed her to become a sex slave for Epstein and his wealthy friends. Buy it. Read it. Give her justice.

A photo of a small stone monument with the text of the First Amendment etched on it: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances"

Spotted on our way to court to challenge President Trump’s targeting of Mahmoud Khalil for his protected speech.

President Trump thinks he can disregard our rights guaranteed by the First Amendment β€” we’re here to remind him he cannot.

Meme. Medieval image showing a cooper making a barrel. He is leaning over the barrel with a wooden wedge in one hand, and a wooden mallet raised high in the other. He's about to strike, like a cobra (if the cobra were holding a wooden mallet).

The man has massively muscled forearms, and a sharply receding hairline. He's going bald, and will arm wrestle you into submission if you bring it up. He is wearing a yellow apron with tools hanging from his belt, a light blue shirt, and a dark cowl. His grey hair speaks to his experience, and his calm look says that he hasn't noticed yet that he's in a meme.

On the wall behind his is a coil of rope, and something that might be a hat or a hood. It is, though, more fun to imagine that it is a fedora and a coiled whip, and that this man is actually Indiana Jones, taking a break from questionable archeology and bad pedagogy to make a few barrels.

Meme text reads:
"Lock, stock, and two
slithering
barrels of eels"

There was a robust trade in live eels in pre-modern England, & I know you're wondering: "How do I ship live eels?"

Not in barrels of water. They'll use up the oxygen & die. Nope. You pack them in layers of damp moss or hay, & off you go. They don't need to be in water.

Wut? 1/3

Electricity costs are up. Rents are skyrocketing. Healthcare, too. As are the prices of so many other commodities. Why are they playing softball with this mendacious administration gutting our economy and social services?!

He murdered a Colombian citizen in violation of domestic and international law. He’s now promising to illegally impose tariffs on Colombia because its president had the temerity to publicly criticize him for murdering one of that country’s citizens.

Yes, we are the baddies.

I think one of the saddest things about being a millennial is remembering a time when technology was advancing in a way that made life better and easier and more exciting instead of actively, intentionally worse

it’s honestly impossible for me to respect any Trump supporters.

if you are proud of this man leading our country, I cannot respect you on any level. the lack of class, intelligence, or taste is just stunning. pure trash
