After the Republicans get trounced, they may be looking for a re-branding. I think we can help. "Terpitudians" is a distinct possibility. If that's too many syllables, they could just be the "Terpitude" party.

These people expected the government they voted for to work for them. Instead, they got straw-men and misdirected anger and they are less well-off now. Democrats should be addressing their unmet needs and promise to work for ALL their constituents, not just we blue-hats.

The U.S.A. has lots of problems to fix. Constitutional Convention, kicked off with state conventions forwarding 10 amendments to the national, which chooses / combines / edits a final 10 amendments.

I've seen quite a few posts saying trump/maga/republicans were posting "86 46" when Joe was Prez. At first, I thought "yeah, those jerks!" Now I'm thinking, "I don't really remember any of those." There's 1 guy who did (Jack Posobiec). Please post evidence with your claims. Russian trolls piss off.

What if we had an annual international day to strive for no unnecessary deaths? One day of the year for no dying from: auto accidents shooting execution starvation curable disease work hazard fires - and so on. If it were ever achieved, we could try for monthly! No Unnecessary Deaths Globally

@aclu.org Does ACLU do class-action? How about suing the the trump admin/DOGE for leaking all our SS data? Since trump is suing Justice for $10B for a leak, shouldn't all class-action participants get the same? Or nothing if Congress passes a law to forbid the Executive suing the gov't.

Who the Hell are Congressional Democrats representing? Un-f'ing-Constitutional seems - I don't know - bad? "Democratic proposals to loosen, not eliminate, voter ID laws Schumer : “You’d have to define it clearly and properly and easily.” He did not elaborate.

Asked about reports that the DoD's findings indicate the U.S. conducted the strike on the Iranian girls’ school, the president (and Commander-In-Chief) said "I don't know about it." In trump's defense, I think I know the exact moment when his brain got fried.

Please TX, OH, ME & CA, vote these cowards out! [they voted against the War Powers Resolution.] Representative Henry Cuellar (Texas) Representative Greg Landsman (Ohio) Representative Jared Golden (Maine) Representative Juan Vargas (California)

According to the Silver Bulletin, here's trumps approval rating: Disapprove 55.1% Approve 42.2% Democrats should get over hating people who voted for trump and focus on putting forth candidates who address their issues. Except for those who voted for racism, there's momentum away from trump.

Recent reads: Vineland (Thomas Pynchon) - almost finished One Hundred Years of Solitude (Gabriel García Márquez) The Devil Reached Toward the Sky (Garrett M. Graff) Careless People (Sarah Wynn-Williams) #booksky Of these,I think the best was "The Devil Reached Toward the Sky" by Garrett M. Graff.

The Generation names went to shit after "Boomer." "Gen X" was used because no name had arisen, which was lazy and meaningless. Gens Y and Z just extend the stupidity and force a change (alpha?) to another dead-end series. If there's no distinguishing characteristic then why bother with a moniker?

OMG! Behold this glorious 240 word sentence from Pynchon's "Vineland." Even not knowing those named, the sentence is still a wild and delightful ride that evokes image - after - image. Finishing the sentence is like climbing to the top of a mountain. Beautiful! #booksky

Okay, maybe 'like climbing a mountain' is too participatory since I did nothing but reading. Maybe it was more like crossing the street in New Orleans (from one bar to another, natch) and finding yourself in the middle of a Jazz Funeral?
