Chicago baby. How I've missed you.
"Every single American must speak out against this Facist administration." So If Slow Jimmy 'round the corner or Sue who slings hash at the diner doesn't speak out right now...the republican will fall?
βThe Senator was vulgar, almost illiterate, a public liar easily detected, and in his 'ideas' almost idiotic, while his celebrated piety was that of a traveling salesman for church furniture."

Happens all the time :-)
Another really good @proleftpodcast.bsky.social today. I like it when people I like and respect come together. @driftglass.bsky.social , @bluegal.bsky.social , and @juliusgoat.bsky.social in one show, though not in person. Get it where you find all fine podcasts, and probably some shitty ones too.
Solid gold.
One hundred percent absolutely the best podcast to never, ever miss. Ever.

π¨ BREAKING β At the request of Attorney General Ken Paxton, the Texas Supreme Court has halted a Dallas judgeβs order to extend voting hours.
For years on my old blog I published the names of servicemembers who died in Iraq & Afghanistan. No other outlets were.
These are the first 4 Americans to die in the Iran War.
Capt. Cody A. Khork, 35
Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42
Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39
Sgt. Declan J. Coady, 20
"We cannot risk waiting for the final proof, the smoking gun, which could come in the form of a mushroom dick."
Recommended reading: "The Midas Plague" by Fred Pohl (1954). "A satirical science fiction story where robots produce endless goods, forcing citizens into a nightmare of mandatory, excessive consumption."
The Alert Reader will notice that none of the Iraq War pimps who were dead wrong ever missed a meal, and many of them got promotions, books deals, cable TV contracts, etc.
Those who were dead right were made into media pariahs back then and remain so to this day.

Can confirm.
Bring back the pillory for everyone who participated in this grotesque kabuki.

Got a feeling that next week is going to be a *very* big week for "No Fair Remembering Stuff".
Streams crossing...
And less so every day
