Flabbergasted and Appalled (she/her)

The Tiananmen Square Massacre is what this photo makes me think of. It's the kind of move Trump (the narcissist) would admire and Miller (the ghoul) would encourage. I don't think the tanks will be leaving DC. Trump is pushing for civil war & wants his own arse to be safe. Fuck anyone else.

Of course, just like technology has been boosting wages for the last 50 yrs

Elon Musk needs to be investigated and held accountable.

They said I shouldn't bother going to the Upper Peninsula. That it's Trump country, can't be won. Well, Escanaba would like a word!

Hoping this jerkoff was visiting the Port of St Petersburg overnight.

The oil port in Russia's St. Petersburg is doing a bit poorly 💥

It is like he thinks he has created the intelligence rather than stolen it from thousands of authors, creators etc

People think I’m being alarmist when I say they are trying to make you dumb. They feel entitled to control how and to what extent you can access knowledge. They send their kids to tech-free schools while ensuring public school kids can’t read. They want you illiterate.

Saw someone say the world is a boring place because there are no elves or dragons, so I'm legally obliged to share this:

Several folks in my mentions said they quit watching the new Count of Monte Cristo on PBS because it features Black actors. My friend, you are going to be shocked when you learn the ethnicity of Alexandre Dumas.

There comes a point where you have to step back and say, “I don’t like what tech is doing to people. I don’t want to be part of this.” You need to cultivate an intellectual life. You need to resolve that you won’t be among the many whose minds are destroyed by machines.

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing an essay, writing a eulogy, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing for 5,000 years.

Yale researchers say terminated, delayed and paused grants have made it difficult to plan or finish studies of vector-borne and poverty-related diseases. One described the effect of the uncertainty as “paralyzing.” yaledailynews.com/articles/fed...

Excerpts from Michael Lewis on DOGE (Guardian article). 1. Gavin Kliger, white nationalist, refused to shake hands with the Black IRS staffer who briefed him on privacy issues. Or pay attention. Kliger now has a defense start-up valued at 1.4B thanks to DOGE. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Mentions of "Fauci" on X have mostly vanished since the data centers in Russia were destroyed by Ukrainian bombs. SMITE!💥

I’m coming for you, Ohio! Join me in Cleveland on October 24 for a rally to support @amyactonoh.bsky.social, @sherrodbrownoh.bsky.social, and Democrats up and down the ballot. Hope to see you there:

This Indigenous Peoples Day, we honor indigenous communities and the responsibility to honor tribal sovereignty rights. And we recommit to creating a just world where all are guaranteed dignity and self-determination.

I feel like we can now divide Supreme Court Justices into those who are in the Epstein files and those who aren't.

All of Ed Sheeran’s opening acts and his touring band have dropped out of the remaining dates of his ‘Loop’ tour in solidarity with Palestine and Macklemore.

Today is National Voter Registration Day — and we're less than 50 days from the midterms. The best time to check that your voter registration is up to date is right now. And remind your friends and family to do the same. This is absolutely vital. ⬇️ https://nationalvoterregistrationday.org/

He’s in the Epstein files 38k times. And every day the media ignore it, they become more complicit.

Your reminder that there is a madman in the White House identified in the Epstein files as a rapist, there has been no investigation, and the files are still being hidden in violation of federal law.

Mike DODGERS is too cowardly to show up to debate me.

"Federal thugs murdering two & shooting a third in under 3 weeks caused a reckoning within the regime, but it was precisely the opposite of what it should've been. Just 4 days after Pretti’s murder, HSI kicked off 'Operation Puppet Master,' the blindingly stupid name for their surveillance machine."

Everyone’s obsessed with the affair gossip. Wrong question. The real story: who vetted the person now filtering reality for a President who can’t seem to tell what’s real anymore? No background check stops a man from losing his grip on the truth. That’s the crisis. That’s what we should be asking.

Looks like the WH put out the bat signal in the influencer groupchat because hit dogs are hollerin'. Ossoff's "travel with Natalie" is causing a nuclear-level MAGA meltdown and a lot of inference is happening from just 3 words, so Trump's camp seems to be telling on him. Yikes.

This made me laugh so hard I cried. 🤣😂 Woman tricked 3,400 MAGA into buying a blank book entitled "Biblical Proof That Trump Will Save America" and told them God said only the special ones can read it, so if it's blank for you - take it up with God.

the fact that john ossoff can kick off a two-day media cycle by saying that the president is uninterested in doing his job and is sleeping through meetings and traveling around with a young blonde, suggests that not enough of these guys are speaking plainly and effectively about these assholes

The way the right wing is hysterically reacting to Jon Ossoff’s mere mention of Natalie Harp means he hit a raw nerve. “How dare you suggest that a man who bragged about walking in on naked underage girls at a pageant he owned would have an inappropriate relationship with an employee!!!!”

NEWS: Moscow’s skies lit up overnight as Ukraine launched a massive drone attack, reportedly involving more than 620 drones. Explosions rocked the region, all four major Moscow airports were shut down, and a major logistics facility went up in flames. Watch the stunning footage:

But the government doesn’t have enough money for school lunches or Medicare prescription subsidies. The United States values killing people in other countries over keeping people alive in our own.

Meta has built its business around addictive feeds and features that put our kids' mental health at risk.

Today, together with a bipartisan coalition of AGs, we begin our trial to hold Meta accountable and to continue protecting our kids from the harms of social media.

Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear says Mitch McConnell absolutely refuses to film a proof of life video. Ok then, why don't we absolutely refuse to give him a paycheck?

Siding with the enemy over one of our longtime allies. AGAIN. He is unquestionably an existential threat to our Democracy. #Impeach-Convict-REMOVE

NEW: Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA) used the following words to describe data center developers today; "Predators" "Bullies" "Secretive" Shapiro signed a new state exec order tightening restrictions on data centers, requiring they get local approvals & provide their own power
