My thoughts and prayers…

Something I want to be crystal clear about is that I am very tired

MAGA, at its core, is a cult of abuse. The right to abuse, the justification for abuse, the dopamine rush they get from abusing others, is built into every policy, every program, every line of rhetoric. They identify with abusers because they want to abuse people.

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

Justice for sandwich bro!

hey if you're in Albuquerque and need to get gay married real quick because of the upcoming SCOTUS case, i am ordained. send me note through the contact form at nora.jewelry and we can meet up and get you married in a park or something

Talk about The Wire, Sopranos, Game of Thrones all you want, but the greatest US television program ever made is Sesame Street. It's not even close. 50+ years of treating kids across class, ethnicity, religion not as mini-consumers...but as citizens with a stake in this world.

You can't make it up MAGA Congressman Derrick Van Orden-a huge supporter of the Big Ugly Bill Who published this repugnant post cheering the fact that the law would gut Medicaid and SNAP Is now BEGGING the Democratic governor of his state To save the very hospitals that he just voted to close

Wow. Some people are upset about gutting the national endowment for the humanities. But fear not. The Big Beautiful Bill appropriates $40 million for "for the procurement of statues" for the President's "Garden of Heroes" www.budget.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

Fuck errry’body that didn’t vote for Kamala. I don’t care about your reasons, your principles, none of your bullshit excuses. Take one, pass it down 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕

We tried to tell so many of you that electing Netanyahu’s pal would be a disaster. Congratulations, you really showed Kamala.

“ICE agents have to wear masks and no uniform because they have become so deeply unpopular that it’s safer to appear to be a vigilante kidnapper” is a hell of an argument

there's a solid 20% chance Kristi Noem just became Patient Zero for Captain Tripps

No lies told.

Kristi Noem's vow to "liberate" places which have Democratic political leadership quite possibly instigated a political assassination.

i'm surprised by how low energy and farcical that whole military parade situation was. I was expecting Moscow 1945 and we got Spirit Halloween instead.

Mt Trashmore

Jesus. The juxtaposition of these two posts back to back is just...

I haven't been so appalled by content on Bluesky as I was last night. Dozens of replies explicitly celebrating attacks on civilians in Tel Aviv. If you've convinced yourself that attacking Israeli civilians is a good thing - you're no better than Netanyahu, and you are yourself a genocidal maniac.

Here is a look at the "riots" in LA..... "Who's got the power? People Power." Peaceful. No National Guard or Marines needed. #FreedomToDissent

If you're a Marine or other service member being mobilized to Los Angeles and you'd like to apply for conscientious objector status, call the GI Rights Hotline to get some guidance on your options: 1-877-447-4487

I love this one. I would have liked poetry more in school if some of it had been like this. Lol

Just gonna leave this here...

If you think gun laws don’t matter, the heinous guy in Colorado who burned 12 Jewish Americans in an act of pure hate, was trying to buy a gun, but was unable to. As bad as it was, imagine the conversation we’d be having today.

In the past six weeks, people: —Murdered two at a Jewish community event in DC —Firebombed a Boulder Jewish community vigil —Firebombed Gov Josh Shapiro’s home Jews are 2% of the US but 15% of hate crimes & 68% of religion-based hate crimes. Failing to take antisemitism seriously is acceptance.

Since a lot of people are pondering jumping on AppleTV to watch Murderbot, I am going to give you my list of shows I think you should check out while there. (This is not inclusive, please don't reply telling me I forgot something! I'm just picking my favs! lol) In no particular order....

New preprint finding that eliminating US global health funding over the next fifteen years would cause: - 15.2m deaths from AIDS - 2.2m deaths from TB - 7.9 additional child deaths

MMR vaccine doesn’t just prevent measles, mumps, and rubella. It also prevents RFK Jr. from showing up at your child’s funeral to exploit your grief at your most vulnerable moment.

It is time for the Democrats in the Senate to get behind new leadership that understands the moment and how to fight for Democracy. Schumer is not that person and his adversaries are more than happy today.
