Irene Nemirovsky in 1942:

What are the odds that Trump has instructed Pam Bondi and the justice department to look into any legal means by which the Thanksgiving turkey he pardons is himself?

I try not to propagate the salacious rumor mill but to hear Trump say, “I did not have sexual relations with that man,” and have *that* be the lie that gets him impeached… Oh dear lord.

So would Caligula.

I have a very bad feeling about this...

No, narcissistic boundary testing.

a key thing about vought — and all of these guys — is that they have a totally top down and hierarchical vision of the world. they believe that the cultural changes they hate can be turned off by destroying the federal government because they can’t imagine that they emerged bottom-up in society

Anyone else in Mass want to know how much we have lost to the Feds, here’s the new tracker: www.mass.gov/info-details...

This current American presidential administration is run by people who are quite obviously mentally ill, and we need to start talking about that.

After the helplessness of “why aren’t the Canadians/Europeans/Australians coming to help us?” wore into “We don’t deserve to be helped” wore into “fuck all the rich democrats who are abandoning the poors” - our continued endurance, our simple existence, is the best act of resistance of all.

"Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." Looking forward to seeing Jimmy back on the air.

Giving a bully your lunch money is only a temporary downpayment for future bullying. We ALL need to step up for the first amendment. By-the-way, for the record, this ex-Disney employee finds Jimmy Kimmel very talented and funny. mh

So many people feel overwhelmed while scrolling and there’s a reason for that. Bots are a large part of the problem. We’ve been breaking down how to spot them. After tracking bot groups that push narratives and attacks, we found some common traits:

right wing dude gets shot in red state completely controlled by Republicans, with zero effective gun laws, and of course, this is going to be a big problem for Democrats

Most of the time I am informed and my perspectives are broadened by the New York Times - but not in this.

Except the Cross Center is in Bangor, Maine.

New Mexican restaurant opened up in my square. Oh my God, strongly recommend. :)

The States in primal coordination once again...🔥

If someone tells you there's nothing we can do about gun violence beyond thoughts and prayers, remind them: —Gun laws in other countries have prevented mass shootings —More guns don't make us safer —A majority of Americans want gun reform We don't have to live like this.

I.e., John Bolton is thrilled a worse Republican obliterated all our memories of W, whom this same John Bolton hawked into Iraq. History has a long memory for John Bolton, too.

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users. While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

So pleased i campaigned for this.

So glad to be watching this from right beneath the Pru. Boston Strong, 2025.

2 x fact check: It was salami per WaPo and who remembers when a Subway foot long was a $5 sandwich.

Classic narcissistic boundary testing. Let Putin onto Alaska, it’s a hinterland, who the heck cares? Let Putin onto Alaska, it’s American soil, he becomes normalized on American soil. Just to not lose sight of the obvious.

"When the money could no longer support the unhappiness, the dreams were stripped to bare reality of day light."

Des Moine, Iowa. Who is he?

Bernie’s got it right. We don’t win this by shouting Fafo at the crumbling maga base.

I am not at all in favor of a quid pro quo on the democrats side. We beat shitty people by not becoming shitty people.

I wish my fellow Americans could understand that America is at fault for all of this. We've been saying it for years but it's like they can't hear it. Listen to this man. Israel is only doing what it's doing because America protects it. They are using the US as cover for absolute supervillainy.

Take a breath, enjoy 2 minutes and 42 seconds of Brahms.

Religious extremists and faith based dogmatists have hated science and rationality for a while by now. That is well documented in Western History. Should surprise no one.

Reading ‘The English Teacher’ by RK Narayan. Words of wisdom about children, pertinent to the baseless hates that start by chance and are clung to by adults?

Dear Gawd, the absurdity.

Because I have snapped, lost my mind, and am no longer able to function as an adult: Q: What seven letters did the girl say to the refrigerator? A: OICURMT I’ll see myself out.

Late afternoon front passed through. Got upstairs quickly enough to see the last remnants of the rainbow.
