No interruptions, please. We’re building universal child care.

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

Trump is burning through taxpayer dollars on wars just like he burned through his father’s money in the 80s.

Optical illusion of a woman bent over some papers. Her sunglasses are pushed up and she is wearing a hair band so the top of her head looks exactly like a Muppet face

Sorry I know the world is in a terrible fix but I've been laughing at this for ten minutes now

The only extra lane that can fix traffic congestion is a bike lane.

On this day in 1943, a 97 year old Dutch Jewish woman arrived at the Sobibor extermination camp where she was murdered in the gas chamber. Her name was Jannetje Philipse-van Buren

Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:

Killing the library either way is some dystopian shit right there. Bad bad bad.

In addition to the regime’s incompetence, the jury trial is doing a lot of the heavy lifting to save us from full fascism and disappearing every regime opponent. It’s kind of amazing.

Let me be clear: I’m glad Kristi Noem was fired. But we still have to abolish ICE.

As a contributing factor, I would not discount the amount of driving people in this country have been conditioned to believe is right and normal and part of being American. No place on earth is as committed to deeply sociopathic transportation as this country.

If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

He’s the MAGA carnival barker, necromancer, and avatar rolled into one. There is nothing even remotely like him in the rest of the MAGAsphere. When he finally goes, I have to believe that the whole operation as we know it will implode.

The notion that this country at this moment has anything to offer anyone else anywhere in the world beyond conspiracy theory addled white supremacist corruption and repression is laughable. I fear for anyone or anyplace that comes to this mendacious fool’s attention.

This. And yep, any Nazi imagery of any kind is like the universal symbol for horrible, murderous asshole on every possible level and in every conceivable direction. No need to parse it out. You find yourself in that company, find an exit. Fast.
