Too bad Democrats are too chicken-shit to even say these out loud.

How about if you fight for a rational, efficient single-payer plan like civilized countries have. Subsidizing outrageous insurance, medical, and pharmaceutical profits is not a health care plan.

If health care is a right then support a rational single-payer national plan like civilized countries have. See, this is why Dems always lose: they talk big but deliver diddly.

Well dang! I guess that makes a real rube! 🙂

True. But I often remind myself that the photos of the amazing places I have been are poor representations of what it was like. Partly because of the limited view, but also the lack of smells, sounds, and sensations of being there.

Are all major corporations murderous amoral thieves? Sure seems like it.

Trump and Walmart Make a Hash of Thanksgiving Dinner Oh, thank goodness for Donald Trump!

Walmart’s Thanksgiving package dinner actually costs *more* this year, despite the lies they and Trump are touting.

That can't be Portland, OR--they spelled theater wrong.

For #ThickTrunkTuesday, another old-growth rainforest shot of Douglas-fir with fire char next to a large snag, log, and western hemlock. Most old stands in Oregon experienced fire at some time during their development, with many trees surviving.

Ahem

We need new music for the age of AI:

Ai, ai, ai ai ai,
Canta Y no llores,
Porque la computadora te odia
Y te va cortar los cojones.

Sarah Hurwitz is a sociopath.

She sees walls of dead children as a messaging problem for her.

Not a FUCKING catastrophe for those dead children.

Zionism is like racism.

It breaks the brain.

Hang onto these pictures because Hegseth will have the offending sign removed as soon as he sobers up today.

This is my kind of good trouble.

Which makes Moscow Mitch a willing accomplice.

Happy #Stunday from a trip to Jasper

You Don't Hate The Mass Media Enough Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley):

The western press see the killing of #Palestinians as such a baseline norm that #Israel can #massacre dozens of people in #Gaza and they’ll go, “Gosh I sure hope this doesn’t lead to any violations of the #ceasefire!”

What finally helped me quit was hearing that the physical addiction to nicotine only lasts ~3 days. It's the psychological addiction that gets you. Dunno if it's true, but it worked for me!

i wonder how much of Americans' views on driving vs. transit would change if they had to pay for gas/insurance/etc every time they turned on the engine

"i'm not paying $5 to take the train to work twice a day when i can just drive" is a genuine opinion held by so many people

A lot of disinformation is circulating about what Senators/Representatives Slotkin, Kelly, Crow, Deluzio, Goodlander, and Houlahan actually said. Here is the transcript. It contains no accusation that the President issued unlawful orders, no call to disobey lawful orders, and no advocacy of mutiny.

I assume that every company holds on to everything and use it for whatever they want, regardless of what they (and the laws) say.

Yes, I have an old Raleigh I picked up used that rides like a dream. They don't make 'em like they used to...

Peer review is a crapshoot. His mentors clearly share the blame.
