Reluctant Dissident

Maybe it’s time for Disney to threaten to move out of Florida again. It’s definitely time for people to boycott vacationing in that state.

Only Congress has the power to declare war and our elected officials must take that power back. Urge your senators to use their constitutional authority with the war powers resolution: act.indivisible.org/sign/no-iran...

Then do the same with your representative: act.indivisible.org/sign/no-iran...

It’s not just that the President of the United States has announced on social media that the US has bombed Iran, it’s that the President of the United States bombed Iran so that he could announce it on social media.

Lesson from the Melon Felon’s Birthday Debacle:

If you want to have a fabulous military parade, don’t fire all the gays from the military.

Using AI to write makes you dumber — who would have guessed?

Canada ‘won’t be for sale, ever.’ Canadian Prime Minister shuts down Trump 51st state suggestion. - The Boston Globe Newly elected Canadian PM Mark Carney visited the White House Tuesday amid tension between the US and Canada.

Carney: Canada says no

Trump: never say never

Shockingly, a president who doesn’t believe in consent for women also doesn’t take no for an answer from a whole damn country.

The one on the right. The one with orange skin is too reminiscent of the dictator currently occupying the White House.

Trump's lawyers "appear to be obeying Stephen Miller and not the Supreme Court,” says Chris Newman, an attorney for the Abrego Garcia family. “Miller himself should be deposed under oath in federal court to determine his role in this ongoing affront to due process.”

This is spot on. Democrats need to abandon the business as usual tactics and fight. Only a few of them get it, and most of the leadership is still in the dark.

You have to wonder what kind of dirt Orange Julius Caesar has on Graham for him to say this.

He will claim he was only joking, but the orange stain on his lips from all that ass-kissing can never be removed.

If only the American media was brave enough to say this.

Opinion | Elon Musk’s Legacy: DOGE’s Construction of a Surveillance State (Gift Article) DOGE is rapidly assembling a sprawling monitoring system, the foundation of many authoritarian regimes.

Elon Musk may or may not fulfill his promise to step back from DOGE.

But his legacy is already clear: He is assembling a sprawling domestic surveillance system — the likes of which we have never seen in the United States.

Keep up the Target boycott — they deserve it.

In the coming days, as the true economic impacts of the terrible tariffs hit home, we will all be challenged to shop our values.

Welcome to the Police State, America.

Pritzker: Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research…

Someone needs to report those cops for “Anti-Christian Bias”.

Yes, the chicken may kill you, but at least you won’t have to worry about the price of eggs.

Steven King- RFK Jr wants to cut Meals on Wheels to elderly and disabled persons. Another example of this administration’s unthinking cruelty. Pass it on, and possibly they will be embarrassed into continuing the program.

Considering that the Melon Felon has tanked projects in nearly every industry he has embraced does not bode well for crypto. Gutting regulations just means that more investors are going to get scammed.

I hope all these old fart Dems who see the writing on the wall and choose not to seek reelection will either step down now or take a page from the Bernie Sanders playbook use the time they have left to fight like hell to save our democracy.

It’s so hard to root for Goldman Sachs, but…

Happy (most likely) birthday, Will! 🎉

Whoever comes up with that At-Home-Milk-Test-Kit is going to make a fortune. 🥛🦠🧫

Happy Earth Day! 🌎

In all the chatter about Easter, Weed Day, Hitler’s birthday, and the possibility of martial law being declared, one terrible anniversary received scant attention:

April 20 was also the date of the Columbine school shooting in 1999.

After 26 years, we still value our guns more than our kids.

Screenshot of Trump from The Ingram Angle on Fox News; the caption reads: “TRUMP: IT’S HIGH IMPERIAL TREASON TO TROLL ME ON FACEBOOK AND TWITTER”

I think we need a revised version of WTF:

NSBWATF (Not Surprising But What The Actual Fuck)

High Imperial Treason? Seriously?

The Emperor has no clues.
