I'm that JEW. That AMERICAN. That PIANIST. That PROCHOICE ANTIRACIST “Jazz is God's music” *NTN VIETNAM VET who opts for insight over incite, and not as woke as I hope to be tomorrow... *Never Trumper Nation

You know what pissed me off about the Ramaswamy ad beyond the obvious grotesqueries? There’s no EVIDENCE disputing Acton’s life story. There are court proceedings backing up her story. And all Ramaswamy’s got is the (accused) mother saying “nu uh” and somehow that’s enough? FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY

@billgates.bsky.social For the past decades, you and your foundation have done a LOT of good. Trying to quantify it is a silly endeavor. But it's a lot. And speaking for myself, it's so substantial and abundant that I consider it sufficient atonement for Windows ME.

The woman in Ramaswamy's ad chose her daughter's RAPIST over her 12 year old daughter. That's why it backfired. The world's most competent damage control manager couldn't pasteurize that sewage. What an epic fail. (People who still find merit in his ad make me wish I'd studied psychology...)

One day I'll hear cell phones around me going off. Then shouting and cheering. In the distance, car horns will be honking. A stranger might buy everyone drinks at the bar I'm at. And without anyone saying a word, I know I can throw away this hat...

TRANSLATION: Trump will be held accountable for his wrongdoing, and incompetence will no longer be rewarded.

When SARS-CoV-2 first came to America, it found a passionate and eager ally in a group of willfully ignorant Americans who drove the pandemic like Ricky Bobby at Talladega! Who knows how much LESS death and suffering there might have been if it wasn't for the UNVAXXED!

You can put 100 drunk naked women in a room, and not ONE of them will be raped... if there is no rapist in the room. Being drunk, naked, or vulnerable doesn't cause rape. Rapists do. Hope that helps.

@katiephang.bsky.social Do you remember interviewing an attorney and rabbi named Barry Silver? He was from Florida. And he filed a lawsuit against Florida on behalf of his synagogue against Florida's abortion ban. He passed away two years ago. Do you know what happened with that case?

The next time you encounter some MAGA character complaining about socialism, ask them how they feel about defunding socialist police departments.

Trump starts a war that leads to massive energy shortages, causing crippling increases in diesel prices... and then uses the nightmare he created to go into business with Vladimir Putin? While Russian intelligence is supplying Iran with intelligence they're using to hit American bases?

I support everyone's right to remain unvaccinated.... somewhere else. But if you’re going to sojourn among others, you must deal with the Social Contract, the framework which makes it possible for us to live together without annihilating each other. www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

dailykos.comMY BODY? Always. MY CHOICE? That depends…MY BODY, MY CHOICE!, a motto of the abortion rights movement, has now been commandeered by the anti-vaccine movement. But does it apply to them as well?

When SARS-CoV-2 first came to the United States, it found an eager and determined ally... “Covid's besties” aka the UNVACCINATED! Who knows how fast the pandemic could have ended were it not for those ignorant bastards!
