FUCK every millionaire celebrity, athlete & ex athlete who is participating in advertising for gambling sites. I’m sure there are many worthy products you could endorse that don’t encourage people to squander their hard earned money. FUCK ALL OF YOU!!!

To paraphrase Wimpy from the Popeye cartoons..."I'll gladly pay you $100 Tuesday for a vote today."

White House correspondents, D.C. bureau chiefs, and media execs: The German government expelled Dorothy Thompson from the country in August 1934. She's remembered and respected today for her important coverage and analysis over the next decade of the German regime. Be like Dorothy Thompson.

Federal appeals court upholds Oklahoma law that bans the teaching of certain concepts about race and gender, but narrows its meaning. The 10th Circuit rewrote the statute trying to neuter the vague parts. Both sides find value in the 2-1 decision. oklahomavoice.com/2026/09/10/f...

Do not obey in advance.

The DOJ in 2029 will need a whole division dedicated to prosecuting federal crimes comitted by and on behalf of Trump administration across the country.

Congressperson Stephanie Bice privately laments the "find out" phase of her obsequious fidelity to Trump.

"Honey and Mitchell have a long track record of working together to undermine election security and spreading false claims of voter fraud. Honey founded the anti-voting Pennsylvania Fair Elections group, which falls under the Election Integrity Network (EIN) run by Mitchell." 🚨🚨🚨

Mitchell's Election Integrity Network is to voter suppression what the Heritage Foundation was to Project 2025. Red state blue dots, watch out 👀

ICE agents violate state election law to harass and threaten a poll worker over a months-old social media post. This was a practice run for election interference in the midterms. We must be prepared! P S. Renée Good was shot by ICE agent #JonathanRoss on January 7, 2026, in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

can’t believe a narcissist is being so publicly humiliated by a reflecting pool

Buttigieg: We sit in a in a country that's got the wrong number of people on the Supreme Court, possibly the wrong number of representatives in the House of Representatives. And by the way, when you consider the disenfranchisement of the people of DC, we have the wrong number of states in the US

Happy Pride Month, fascists.

When you ask AI to draw a pipe wrench, and you get a literal wrench made of pipe.

"The release by the Election Integrity Network (EIN) marks a dangerous escalation from one of the most influential election denial operations in right-wing politics." This roadmap to voter suppression will play out in state legislatures. We ignore it at our peril. 🔈🔉🔊

"The war, horrible as it is in itself, signals the basic problem: abuse of power enabled by wealth inequality and media monopolies. Trump will fall and these issues can be addressed. But only if we see how deep is the rot and how pressing is the need." @timothysnyder.bsky.social

Put this on top of Marky Markwayne's plate. He'll fix it. /s

Thank you. Keep them on the run.

"Vouchers aren’t keeping government out of churches and homes. They’re simply re-diverting taxpayer funds into a private sector where children are on their own if they don’t look, learn, love or pray like these right-wing billionaires and their Christian Nationalist allies think they should."

Anthony Blinken says Israel tried to pressure Obama to bomb Iran, warning they’d do it with or without the U.S. Obama refused. Trump caved to the same tactic. Also worth noting: Obama’s name doesn’t appear in the Epstein tapes.

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective. He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.
