Mostly re-skeets. Random thoughts or music recs. Profanity fan. I don't talk a lot, but I'm always listening.

If our system of justice can determine that shooting a one year-old is justified, then we do not have a system of justice, and our goal should be the eradication of the system we have and its replacement with something better.

JUST IN: The police shooting that killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley as he sat in his mother’s lap in a Walmart parking lot in Senatobia, Miss., in June “was justified,” Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch’s office said on Monday. Her office will not charge the white officer who shot the child.

Republican politicians are *obsessed* with schoolchildren coming home a different gender because of pro-trans teachers, WHICH NEVER HAPPENS. But they are completely indifferent to schoolchildren not coming home *at all* because of guns, WHICH HAPPENS ALL THE TIME!

Why, indeed.

We have extensive documentation about men leading this nation who were directly connected to Jeffrey Epstein, along with his crimes... ...yet we allow them to stay in the White House because we are afraid of 30% of the population who support them. Do we see what we are doing?

There’s nothing unconstitutional about expanding the court, however it is unconstitutional to go to war without congressional approval, cause an insurrection on the US Capitol, to target/prosecute someone for free speech, and for the president to accept gifts from a foreign nation, to name a few

I really wish some of these Republicans had the courage to give their interviews while crawling across a shag carpet on hands and knees with a ball gag in their mouths, mumbling their incoherent responses behind the ropes of saliva dripping over their chins, because that is the actuality of all this

Rep. Rich McCormick defends Trump trying to rename Lake Ontario: "President Trump is very good at leverage. He wants to do things that irritate people who he's negotiating with so he can get a better deal."

Just a reminder, we send children to fight and die in wars so Ratheon stock goes up and oil speculators can play their games and our rapist president can distract from the Epstein coverup. But by all means, let's be polite about the president's side piece.

It's not much more complicated than this.

Democrats: You pay taxes. We spend the money on you Republicans: You pay taxes, we spend the money on tax cuts for the wealthy and corporate subsidies This is how wealth is transferred from us to them. The same is true for tariffs. We pay the higher prices, but the corporations get the refunds.

"If not for Frances Perkins, Social Security, as Americans understand the program today, would not have been created." A timely reminder from @prospect.org that Social Security was built through intentional political choices and can be strengthened through them, too.

Meatball needs a loving, caring home. He is a sweet, gentle boy who needs to be a permanent indoor cat, as he has FiV, which is a very manageable and uncomplicated chronic illness. He can even live with non-FIV cats! I will deliver him personally within a 3 hour drive of Detroit. Please! I love him

My whole week has been cats. This is Meatball, one of our community cats (ferals) that I think might need medical attention so I caged him and brought him to the vet today. He's not thrilled but he's being very sweet and gentle towards me cause he trusts me.

I'm never going to get over the fact that the president of the United States paid a woman more than $5 million after a jury found him liable for raping her. And he's still president. And people still support him. Never. Get. Over. It.

I’m mad that Fascist Von Fucknuts ruined everything about the 250th of the USA. It should have been a cool opportunity to explore and celebrate a shared history. Instead it’s an algae-smeared wankfest for a bloated despot.

This is how you know we're an uncivilized society. Starving children of all ethnicities in the nation while the wealthiest man screams that the poors should kill each other over skin tone.

Dear media, You don't have to say "E Jean Carroll accused Trump of defamation and rape." You can say "Trump defamed and raped E Jean Carroll." It's been adjudicated. Thank you
