Now that the propagandists have decided that we should be afraid that AI is going to destroy humanity, I have decided to embrace it and cheer our cybernetic overlords on to victory. Should we start a cult? Is anyone with me?

First, I don't disagree with you about police over reach, abuse of authority, and violating peoples rights. I believe that largely is an attitude and training issue evolving from what we ask them to do. I would like to see changes that would shift their responsibility to the community.

Just a few minutes ago I came inside the house and asked my wife if she was still here. Her response? "Why wouldn't I be? It's only OMG it's 2:40..I need to get moving. Please make me an ice tea?" Another day in paradise 🤪

I am News'd out. At this moment in time there is not a thing I can do. So, I am going to go read. And listen to classical music. The Beatles.

I guess I was naive enough to believe that we were a nation of laws and justice. And that our laws had teeth and couldn't be simply ignored.

Think about this, Trump blocking the release of the Epstein files, and Trumps close friendship with Epstein. Epstein was making money trafficking underage girls. I'm betting on Donnie having financial ties to that world, to go along with his personal interests.

Feeding the country lies isn’t leadership—it’s cowardice. I’m your Shadow Press Secretary and here’s the truth:

PERSIST.@thepersistnetwork.bsky.social

Wait a damn minute! Shouting lies from the podium doesn’t make them facts. It just makes you loud and wrong. Watch as @katiephang.bsky.social exposes the lies. Then share these posts and spread these facts…online and offline. Together, we can shut down Don’s dangerous disinformation machine.

Wouldn't it be nice if his book tour draws big crouds?

Wait. Schumer is starting a BOOK TOUR THIS WEEK?!? Is that why he rolled over so fast?!? I’m done.

Do you ever stop yourself in the middle of a post because you realized that you don't have enough information about the subject to have the opinion you were going to post? And wouldn't it be nice if more people would?

Please do

Many hours have passed and I’ve thought about what happened in the Senate some more. And you know what? I’m still mad as hell. I may just repost their names every day until everyone knows them by heart.

There is no point in Senate Democrats voting to fund the government only to let Trump and Musk do whatever they see fit with those funds. Dems should only vote for a continuing resolution if it stops DOGE pillaging and fully funds services. Call your Dem Senator 202-224-3121
