Cat person (dogs are okay too). Synesthetic (my favorite color is 8). In a country full of narcissism and greed be an August Landmesser or Sophie Scholl or John Brown.

I sketched this in 2013 as my tea party rep was ranting about the tyranny of the Obama presidency. Unfortunately it seems to have been prophetic.

The GOP attack on public education backfires bigly when they go to the Portland on the coast of the wrong ocean 🤣🤣🤣

"If you all clap a little bit more, I might have to share this award with Trump." - Navi Pillay responding to applause upon learning she won the Nobel Peace Prize

MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com

Not happening, Donald! Just days after claiming it would be a “great discredit” if he didn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize, the prize went to South African anti-apartheid lawyer and human rights judge Navi Pillay.

Artificial sweeteners missing a rebranding opportunity to SS - Super Sweeteners It will make everything taste better when we eat the rich

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

BAIER: The president says 'SI.' Are you into SI or AI? BEZOS: I do like SI, because 'artificial' is not a very flattering thing. Like, nobody wants an artificial sweetener, artificial flavoring.

This is so lazy...he could've "renamed" AI is "America Intelligence" which at least would've been on brand

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "We're gonna be signing a document today renaming artificial intelligence, because it's not artificial. We're gonna be naming it Super Intelligence. Officially renaming it."

Don't say shit about "PrOtEcT gIrLs" unless you are also calling out the Brock Turners, the Cornell 7, the Ken Paxtons, & Donald Trumps. The everyday cat callers, the misogynists, & sexists. Fuck the GOP

The Trump administration has formally rescinded Title IX protections for LGBTQ+ students nationwide.

It's amazing that this guy is on top of what Democrats proposed but somehow never hears or sees what Trump, et al, say or post on sm

The media and certain demagogic politicians are trying to constantly scare us about voter fraud, caravans, and "others"

RFK Jr defends measles: "In 10 years, there have been 3 measles deaths in America. There are now about 1.2 million deaths every year from food-induced illness. The media and certain demagogic politicians are constantly trying to scare us about infectious disease."

MAGAs already wore maxi pads over their ears to show support for trump, they'll gladly wear a trump lapel pin just like their new allies, the North Koreans

NEWS: Trump says he has ordered Pete Hegseth to “substantially reduce” joint U.S.-South Korea military exercises, citing his relationship with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Trump says he is helping North Korea because South Korea refused to join his failed war against Iran.

When those with power abuse it, and those that could stop it don't, the people they supposedly represent will have to stop it on their terms. The latter hastens suffering by all, and disproportionately by women and children, but what else to do when there is no law and order.

It’s illegal to as a Attorney General he is not supposed to engage in political activity. It’s a violation of the Hatch Act.

President food cart bone spurs saying military deployments aren't long enough is some wild shit.

Q: The family members of US service members are concerned about the conditions on the USS Lincoln TRUMP: No they're not Q: Has the deployment gone on too long? TRUMP: No no no. Not nearly long enough.

Spurs, and not the Knicks, in 5 when you exclude the points that Brunson scored 🫩

Jimothy the raccoon-Seattle, WA I think his existence is allegorical. With all the pain we’re experiencing in the world right now, Jimothy is a symbol of resilience in a time when things are just not right. Jimothy is healing something in us we didn’t know was hurt. 🦝

Powder's memorial in the garden he spent many hours in.

Powder was the neighbor's cat until they moved & Powder was still on my porch. Powder walked my son to school & waited for him at the fence after school. Powder walked the dogs with us. Powder got mail everyday in the form of treats from the mail carrier. Rest easy Powder 💔 you've been the best.

The trump economy is booming as long as the CEOs of the credit card companies are doing fine. More American Gilded Age

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

BREAM: The Journal says percentage of delinquent credit card balances is 13%, the highest in 15 years. People are using them for necessities. Your message to them? HASSETT: We talk to CEOs of the credit card companies all the time, and there's not any threat to them. People are taking a bit longer.

1/ Ever wonder why it takes forever to reach a human at Social Security, especially with staff cuts and office closures? It’s not an accident. “Paperwork friction” & endless delays is the GOP's strategy to push people off benefits without passing a law. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

Got a letter from Mike Pompeo today 🤣 He's fundraising for Susan Collins. I don't live in ME & never received mail for her before - they must be worried. I'm returning it with: "Sen. Collins should be able to run on her strong record of everyone has learned their lesson." #GOPanicked

ROLLINS: That's incorrect. There's no one in the Upper Peninsula that's getting reassigned to the East Coast Q: There's a Forest Service office that's closing in Houghton ROLLINS: I don't have that one in front of me. Any offices that are closing, usually it's because the rent is way too high

It's not that no one told them, but it can be hard to hear with maxi pads over your ears. Now they'll have to put maxi pads over their eyes to not see the high prices, corruption, and constitutional violations.
