You've seen the news from Nepal after the glacier-avalanche devasted a wide area of central Nepal; if you'd like to contribute to the relief effort, here's a link to americare's donation page - A very highly rated charity by Charity Navigator (4 out of 4 stars) and others. bsky.app/profile/omgi...

This is a Big Fucking Deal. I'm sure the Know Nothings leading our government will celebrate this milestone!! 😜

So let me see if I understand this . . . Cuba is a threat to the US because they are aligned with Russia and China, two countries our president fawns over and visits? You neocons really need to get some new material.

Maybe you know you’re the most crime-committing president *ever* when you have to get your Supreme Court to give you immunity for committing crimes and then you have to get your IRS to give you immunity for committing fraud.

Odd, how a lone gunman failed to even enter a targeted room and no one was harmedβ€”and Republicans go HYSTERICAL over the β€œtone” of Democrats. And yet heavily armed and masked fascists murdered two people at point-blank range in the streets of Minneapolisβ€”and not a peep about the β€œtone” of the right.

If not for Trump, what's the emoluments clause for? What's impeachment for? What's the 25th Amendment for? What's section 3 of the 14th Amendment for? What are checks and balances for? The baddies are cherrypicking the Constitution the same way they do the bible: for their own benefit.

UPDATE: There is no war, this is a war, the war ends soon, the war is just beginning, Iran’s nuclear program is gone, Iran could have a nuke in 2 weeks, Iran has no navy, Iran is planting mines, Iran is weak, Iran could attack California, oil is down which is good, oil is up which is good.

He tells us what he’ll do. We laugh, then it happens. He promised invasion; he invaded. He promised troops at home; they’re here. He promised retribution; prosecutors and investigators are now targets. He seized ballots; he’s calling to seize elections. This isn’t bluster; it’s a plan. Stop laughing

Oh, look! The guy in charge of deporting people for being antisemitic is antisemitic himself. Is that where self-deportation kicks in? So shocking that the tiny dude with the Nazi haircut and Nazi coat who likes to harass people in the streets is an actual Nazi.
