The Failures of β€œCentrism”
By moving to the so-called β€œcenter,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Donald Trump: widening ine The Failures of β€œCentrism”

According to new polling, the Democratic Party's favorability is now the lowest it's been in 35 years.

This is what happens when Democrats start chasing the "center" instead of fighting for working people. https://youtu.be/EQzG_TrhyrY?feature=shared

Yesterday, Maurene Comey, who prosecuted the Epstein case, was summarily fired from SDNY. Her letter to colleagues pulls no punches. "Fear is the tool of a tyrant, wielded to suppress independent thought."

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe.

Will we listen to his words today?

Speaker Mike Johnson wants you to know, "I'm grateful to God for being able to get this Bill done. Our rights did not come from the government; they came from God himself."

On behalf of Democracy loving Americans, I say this to Speaker Mike Johnson: Go F*ck Yourself.

Scared is reasonable. Alone is not. If he hasn't isolated you make a point of finding like minded people for support. If he has, well, I hope you have options. Be safe...

Glad I got out just before the sand box wars began. Holding the line against the Soviet Union made sense. Hell, still does. No such clarity now. The idea of that fucknuckle of a Russian asset getting his dream parade just pisses me off. He doesn't deserve to clean the latrines.

The man is a self-made farce of appearance, truly. But the vanity would be more laughable, (and yeah, I do mock him) were it not for the vile oose of his necrotic soul seeping out of his pores. Not enough clown foundation on the planet...

Why I Support "Kill Shelters"
YouTube video by Kitten Lady Why I Support "Kill Shelters"

I see people using the terms "kill" and "no-kill" in regard to animal shelters all the time. I hope that maybe some of you will watch this video to understand why many people in the rescue community feel these terms are harmful to the animals in most desperate need. youtu.be/lpaKT6v_mAw?...

Another day of reminding everyone of Carl Sagan’s eerily accurate warning about the dangers of not being able to ask skeptical scientific questions to those in power or authority.

Sounds marvelous!! My interest in the silent era went from passing amusement to genuine interest recently when I found out Bert Lindley was my great grandfather. He was a contract actor for MGM, some without credit or a modern way to find him. Have a bunch of old stills if you'd like to some.

That kind of skeptical, questioning, "don't accept what authority tells you" attitude of science - is also nearly identical to the attitude of mind necessary for a functioning democracy. They have very consonant values and approaches, and I don't think you can have one without the other.

Beautiful... coastal NC?? They are unique to the *world* there. There are some transplanted patches as north as NJ, tho. Got a variety of starters to grow in the western end of NC and they're in full bloom here, too. Fascinating plants!! Keep your little patch a secret. Keep it safe from hoomans.
