Before Ted Nugent outed himself as a debilitated MAGA moron, I liked his music (Journey To The Center Of The Mind, for example.) Well, I still like the music that I liked. I can separate those two things. Two opposing things can be true at the same time.
If I were at a Metallica concert or a Macklemore concert and was subjected to a political opinion, it would simply mean that I was presented with a choice. Up to me. Carnivore or vegan? Gay or straight? Druggie or sober? Tattooed face or plain? Rock or classical?
Does any body else resent that a nothing no-talent like
Weird Al Yankovic gets to have a career and keeps popping up in places where you were fine until he showed?
ICYMI: Last week, House Republicans wasted time on a "utility" bill that does absolutely nothing — a bill that could have been an email or a press release!
It's so American how the Sackler family caused a national opioid crisis which ultimately led to the fentanyl crisis, and instead of imprisoning them the US eventually went "Hang on, we can use this as an excuse to start a war with a country that doesn't even produce fentanyl."
“Trump, the biggest fabulist in modern American history, lied and lied and lied, with no pushback whatsoever from Burns.”
@mehdirhasan.bsky.social factchecked Trump’s Politico interview after journalist Dasha Burns failed to push back on the president’s repeated lies.

If you’re more upset about Democrats reminding members of the military NOT to commit war crimes than you are about Republicans using the military TO commit war crimes, then congratulations, because you are an idiot, an asshole, and you’re in a fucking cult.
If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?
This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️
Gov. Beshear: “The president has both the funding and the authority to fund SNAP during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.”
It's Just Wall-To-Wall News Stories About The US And Its Allies Abusing The World
The US empire is a giant murder machine feeding on human blood and the life force of our biosphere while providing nothing but obstacles to a healthy world.

Things are so mean-spirited right now, this made me tear up. In the gratuitously cruel age of Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, and Mike Johnson, it's comforting to be reminded that there still are decent human beings that walk amongst us. Thank you, Heretic Coffee in Portland.
Heretic Coffee in Portland, Oregon has announced that starting Nov 1st they will provide breakfast to those in the community who will be facing hunger due to SNAP benefits not being sent out in November.

The pandering New York Times on why Donald Trump's penchant for destroying a beloved piece of American history by ignoring rules and regulations, and spreading asbestos into the air, for a vulgar vanity project is utterly charming to voters. Goodbye subscription!
Nope. Not getting on the "Let's praise Reagan for a thing" train today. I'm not innocent of occasionally taking a ride for a stop or two on the Gipper Express to make a point about today's GOP. But his stance on tariffs is going to bite you in the ass no matter what side you take. And fuck Reagan.
Question for @minakimes.bsky.social about the NFL.
Is it possible that the rigging of games for betting purposes is also happening in the NFL? because my favorite football team always gets really bad calls and it seems like the referees are paid off?
Thanks,

OK, so our "Secretary of War" currently has two big priorities: (1) murdering innocent fishermen in the Caribbean, and (2) endangering the lives of commuters in Southern California.
Perhaps, we are seeing one of the downsides to having a drunk TV talk show chatterbox running our military.
The West's Dehumanization Of Arabs Is Completely Unforgivable
These last two years have shown us that western civilization doesn’t need protection, it needs redemption. It needs to save its soul.
