I don’t know why anyone is surprised that we are in the Dumbest War, by the Dumbest Administration.

I only exist because Leonard Peltier became a Native American activist.

Maybe Trump is the exit dose this whole fucked-up system needed? It’s like chemotherapy — the poison ALMOST kills the system but out of that chaos comes the death of the cancer? If this tears apart MAGA *and* neoliberalism then go man go.

75 years ago, the 22nd Amendment was ratified.

It’s a good day to remember what the 22nd Amendment ratified: that presidents are limited to TWO terms in office.

No exceptions.

Doofus McSnugglefarts and his new sidekick Dinkus von Fartenstein are quickly becoming best buds.

Paid off all my credit cards and my credit score dropped. What a stupid system. Why can’t I opt out?

I’ve said it before, but the amount of terrible shit that’s going to come out about this administration will make our heads spin.

And that’s considering the amount of bad shit that’s *already* known.

In the last 48 hours, Musk's reactions to the Epstein release show exactly why he bought Twitter.

He's used the platform to call coverage of his emails with Epstein as "lies," elevated his fans who have defended him, and gotten positive reinforcement from his AI chatbot.

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

I can’t stop laughing at this

KO'ing everyone's 401k the week they started bragging about murdering citizens in the street on camera is the behavior of people who are on actual drugs. Not metaphorically, it's the behavior of people with underlying mental illness on uppers and steroids who are starting to feel cornered.

You have to go through Congress for anything resembling this type of war. Round up Massie and Paul types and have him removed. The people in this administration are on actual drugs and have insatiable bloodlust and bespoke mental illnesses. He has to go, and everybody with him.

A USPS mailbox in New York City

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later

Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

Congress can end this nonsense any time they want. Vote out every one of the people permitting this.

They’re calling it the Festivus Speech™️ because it was just 15 minutes worth of airing of grievances

Heather Cox Richardson offers the most lucid explanation(s) of the way Trump and his cronies are taking a hammer to our beautiful America. Get her daily letter wherever you get your podcasts.

I’m buying these and I don’t even have a dog.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Change that A in “Flashlight” to an E and you have a whole new story. #brandnewsentence

I’ve been in a room with Putin. He calls Ukrainians “Russians with accents.” His real fear isn’t NATO expansion, it’s democracy expansion. It shatters his entire argument for dictatorship at home. Because if Ukrainians embrace freedom, Russians may demand the same.

So far election night USA seems to be a real referendum on “normal people are already sick of this shit”

Chart showing Trump is under water on all issues Reuters/Ipsos polled on

Trump is underwater on everything. And massively so on a lot things:

Yes, Cam and I are identical twins. Nice to meet you.

“I asked Grok what to do and it told me it was okay to shoot the unarmed citizens protesting.”

For me, I *have* to have an opaque menubar. Period. Non-negotiable. So, it’s transparency disabled. For years. No difference with Tahoe for me, even while I don’t mind most of the other UI changes (rounded corners, etc)
