I’m for picketing the NFL all season until they allow everyone to see each game played. The owners already leach from their respective communities to pay for stadiums, rosters and upkeep. We are subsidizing their ability to restrict our viewing habits. Enough is enough.

Donald Trump has got to go now! Not after the midterms, not 2028. He is not king, he is not God, he is not to be feared. His petulance could be the end of us. This is now a 5 alarm fire‼️📛❤️‍🔥

How not surprising that a president who acts like a petty mob boss is holding one of our nation’s treasured institutions hostage until we meet his conditions—that is, putting his stupid name on the building. I say we just put it in mothballs until he is gone.

You just don’t hear enough about these stories. If these 30 men can donate $4K, what’s our excuse for not?

30 incarcerated men presented a $4,267 donation to a northwest Kansas school district to pay down the district's unsettled lunch debt The donation was to be "utilized to help local children fuel their day and stay focused and energized this school year"

Had an amusing experience calling experience this morning. Contacted a local company to check on an appointment and their on-hold music is a song titled I’m on hold, a 2014 song by Alex Cornell. Not a bad tune, but a perfect use for it.

Sometimes I’m not sure if I want to curse AI, or embrace it. Stumbled on some new (old) music, so I thought. Started listening and really liked it a lot. Was a mix from a guy called Delta Blues Brother.

Starting searching on it today, turns out it’s all synthesized AI generated music. No artists, no instruments, just data bits. Have to admit my heart sank just a bit.

I believe the electorate took care of that. Even with possible voting machine interference, there should have been an overwhelming landslide to prevent his return.

Donald Trump is causing our country to be the laughing stock of the world.

Some are just figuring this out. I’ve felt this way for some time now. The sports teams hold the citizens hostage by releasing rumors of relocation. Major league sports have outgrown their entertainment value. Many fans can’t even afford to attend live games.

Unfortunately, politicians and sports broadcasters keep convincing gullible citizens that stadium deals are economic drivers for the region. We keep getting scammed. www.currentaffairs.org/news/taxpaye...

"Bradley Cooper is starring in a major Hollywood film about January 6th directed by Sean Penn. The officers who were beaten that day are going to have their stories told to millions of people. Justice cmes in many forms. This is one of them." Really American

Got a little bored with the Sudoku so started on Zen Word. Picked a fitting username and matched it with my score, so I’ll ride it out to see how long the lead lasts.

I supported Jasmine Crockett over James Talarico in the Texas primary, but damn if he ain’t got a good communications team.

An effective push back against GOP culture war tactics? Seems to me it should be.

Alternet: Trump is underwater on inflation, cost of living, immigration & Iran. The broader electorate is plainly exhausted by him, the still very high price of a gallon of gas, and the bread and eggs he promised to make cheaper on Day 1 of his second term. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

She had a good run. Death by apathy and cult worship. Throw in Citizens United, Republican strategies leading to one party domination and compromised judiciary.

Ever wonder what it would be like if Russia seized our country? We are currently being ruled over by a hostile occupying force. Act accordingly.

Holyfuckingshit

Maybe if from now until November we all refer to every price increase and exorbitant amount we shell out as the Trump tax, a few more will hear the truth.

Please help the Lakota youth defend Pe'Sla (near Mt. Rushmore) from graphite/oil extraction! This is a sacred site to them, like Mt. Rushmore was before the faces were carved into it. Prevent history from being destroyed! News channels won't cover it (May 2026)

Note that there's been no threat to sue over this statement. I know I would be suing for tens of millions if I was innocent.

I love that he’s calling upon all artists to join the fight and quit sitting back waiting for a savior.
