Protest Possum

I live in a vote by mail only state. It's the 4th state I've lived in and the most accessible way to cast informed votes. I fill out my ballot at home, where I have the time to read the voter's pamphlet and research the issues and candidates; I sign it and put it in a drop box or mailbox. #ivoted

This is neat. Find everything that has a Wikipedia entry within a 30-minute walk of any location. www.neil-scott.com/localwiki/ Looks like I’m right where I need to be:

Stand with Zelensky and against Putin. Stand with Pope Leo XIV and against ICE. Stand with No Kings and against Meta. Stand with the people and against the oligarchs. Stand with liberal democracy and against Trump.

ProPublica obtained a vast cache of IRS information showing how billionaires like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk pay little in income tax compared to their massive wealth — sometimes, even nothing. From the archives:

We are about half a klick south of here again today.

Everything for our kids. Because all our kids are all our kids.

This aired just the once in 1998 on the live SNL show for which McKay wrote it. It was effectively banned as it never aired again. I wonder why. MEDIA-OPOLY

This is what Trump did on 9/11.

A Sunday message

Concentration camps in America, funded by your tax dollars.

Imagine if Republicans attacked hunger, pedophiles, racism, disease, genocide, poverty, and climate change the way they attack American voters.

Trying to put a friendly boyish face on the surveillance state. Just another pathetic white boy technofascist wannabe.

If a con man is capable of convincing you that CANADA is our enemy but NORTH KOREA is our friend, then, intellectually you are in serious trouble.

Flock’s surveillance cameras have already sparked outrage. WIRED reconstructed its next-generation AI system, already in use by some police, to confirm it goes much further than tracking license plates. www.wired.com/story/flock-...

Damn.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @chuckschumer.com THIS is the energy voters want you to bring. Full stop. Bring this energy and back it with action on policy. Stop attacking candidates in your own party and focus on defeating these idiots. It's embarrassing. If you can't muster up the energy, QUIT.

50 days later... still true!!! In so many ways and for so many reasons, Trump's 2nd presidency is the biggest failure in the history of this country.

These changes will impact people who rely on canes, crutches, walkers, wheelchairs, glucose monitors, orthotics & prosthetics, etc. Individuals will face longer waits, denied claims & increased administrative burden on providers and caregivers, disproportionately affecting people with disabilities.

Remember when you had to go rent Faces of Death videos of you wanted to see people die on camera and it was kind of a weird, antisocial thing to do? Now we see it almost daily in our feeds and cannot avoid it. I understand why we can't look away, but can we acknowledge it's traumatizing? #abolishICE

I spoke with Mitch McConnell today for about 20 min. We talked about Supreme Court nominees and bowel movements. He told me he hates turtles and every time he accidentally sees a reflection of himself, he gets explosive diarrhea. I told him I hope he rots in hell surrounded by syphilitic turtles.

This goes out to Donald Trump and every sad sack pathetic loser who supports him and his shit weasel Nazi collaborators, and to every pundit and reporter that normalizes any of this garbage. I get to die knowing I never abandoned my morals for a con man in a dirty diaper. You can't say the same.

Knowledge will forever govern ignorance, and a people who mean to be their own governors, must arm themselves with the power knowledge gives. A popular government without popular information or the means of acquiring it, is but a prologue to a farce or a tragedy or perhaps both James Madison

Let them call me rebel and welcome, I feel no concern from it; but I should suffer the misery of devils, were I to make a whore of my soul by swearing allegiance to one whose character is that of a sottish, stupid, stubborn, worthless, brutish man. Thomas Paine

The rise of larger vehicles like SUVs and pickup trucks, with their taller hoods and larger blind zones, has contributed to a 75% increase in pedestrian and cyclist deaths since 2009. Until we design better streets and ban these vehicles, people outside these vehicles will keep dying.

Trump can’t keep either the Strait of Hormuz or the Reflecting Pool open.
