You know Trump has jumped the shark when he can say what he did about LA and SD and it barely makes a ripple. That said, he picked two terrible cities, so even folks on the left kinda begrudgingly agree. 😈 I kid. I love ya SoCal.

I was born in ‘76. Have always looked forward to 2016 for the 250th because 200 sounded so cool. I did get to experience the tall ships in 2000. Thankfully I got some of the experience then that I had always wanted.

It was so much fun. And we went with my dad to NYC when he was on assignment at Nat Geo to cover the tall ships. Though most memorable part of that trip was guy at a Times Square theater telling my mom that Alice’s Wonderland was not a movie to take kids to.

A tip for future Presidents. If you want to go to war and be greeted as liberators, don’t target little girls abroad. Especially when your biggest scandal is targeting little girls at home.

the Epstein files make it very clear why the MeToo backlash was so extreme and why so much of elite society preferred Donald Trump ruling us like a king to the barest hint of accountability

These Epstein files are filled with a who’s who of transphobes. The very people who have accused folks like me of grooming kids. Scapegoating trans folks to cover their unspeakable sins.

Did anyone get pictures or film of the two extra clips Pretti was allegedly carrying at the time of his death or is that just something DHS claimed was true while also accusing him of brandishing his gun and being a domestic terrorist?

It feels improtant to remind everyone that Jimmy Kimmel was pulled from air because Trump and the FCC chair thought he said something untrue about Charlie Kirk’s murder. Look at how the Trump admin has responded to the Reiners’ murder, Good’s, and Pretti’s. And that’s just in the last month or so.

If the Twin Cities were a Scooby Doo character, they would be Velma. And I don’t think this administration is smart enough to realize how much this country dislikes watching them hit a girl with glasses.

Whoa. It looks like I DID in fact have, “Feds murdering citizens to distract from the Epstein files” on my 2026 bingo card. I just hadn’t looked at it yet.

The federal government is now sanctioning Minnesota from federal funding because the federal government (checks notes) shot a fleeing woman in the head three times and killed her.

FUCK ICE. Hi, it’s your pal KG. I’m getting suppressed on threads b/c in addition to inappropriate jokes, I post a lot of political stuff. I wanna give this app a chance but just don’t know yet. Can u help me get a lot more followers, so I can do a test anti trump post to see if it gets traction?

If you or I were shot and killed by ICE, the Administration would call us domestic terrorists. We can not let this type of behavior stand, or we open the floodgates for ICE and other agents to kill on a whim in broad daylight.

First they came for the trans people But I didn’t stand up because I wasn’t trans. Then I failed to stand up for the comedians because I wasn’t funny. Now they are coming for the guy who got Trump his job and I… Lordy! Fuck it all.

Our Constitution and Amendments form the backbone of the structure that makes us America. We can not squander them to a big baby who can’t take a joke. And how dare he even try to violate our civil rights? And shame on us for voting him in. Again.

There’ll be plenty of time for silence when we’re dead.

I’m trans. First they came for immigrants but they’ve also come for trans folk too. Anyway, I was in a mood and posted this to FB.

When folks tell me the First Amendment is the most important and that is why it was the first, I like to remind them it is the First Amendment because it was never in the original Constitution.

Now that I have seen the clip so many times it is interesting to me that Kimmel appears to have been fired, not because he was insensitive to Kirk, but because he played a clip of Trump being insensitive to Kirk.

So anyway, if you, like me grew up being told that if you did nothing, you were also a Nazi, rest assured, speaking too much will also result in you being throttled by Facebook, meaning you can no longer do anything in public there, and are therefore, also a Nazi.
