this has become a very important video to me

MAGA: It’s not about patriotism, or the border, or trade deficits or any of that. It’s plain old piracy: raping, pillaging and plundering. And sometimes just being a dick (especially to female reporters). Their judgment day will come—sooner than they think.

Dog Accidentally Shoots and Injures a Pennsylvania Man, the Police Say www.nytimes.com/2025/11/14/u... If you’re the kind of gun owner who cleans a weapon on a bed with it fully loaded, you’re not responsible or smart enough to own a gun. And this guy is not the only one. Fewer guns, people.

Seen in downtown L.A.

Bernie Sanders and AOC do a joint video explaining their view of the shutdown.

Can't even be satirical anymore!

Dean Cain, Who Played Superman, Says He Is Joining ICE www.nytimes.com/2025/08/07/u... Oh, Superman, where are you now?!?! Working for Lex Luthor and his stooges?

One of the most effective and important posts I've ever found on any social media. Brilliant work from Robert Reich. substack.com/@robertreich...

Pretty on the money quote at the bottom of my cheesecake slice

Live Updates: Supreme Court Upholds State Ban on Transgender Care for Minors www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06... Whatever you feel about this issue, watching SCOTUS sidestep the issue of equal protection under the law, in favor of allowing states to decide is more hypocrisy from this court. Shameful.

Mollie Katzen brings up something well worth shouting about. The absolute lack of oversight when it comes to ICE related activity is astounding. This is one of the primary erosions of our civil rights: extralegal activity checked by nothing, not Congress, not SCOTUS. Everybody should fight this.

"Taco trucks on every corner," was it? T.A.C.O. #TACO

The disrespect for Congress and the law is glaring - and for our nation a threat to our public safety.

An alarming and further major step towards an autocratic goal: controlling the media. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/07/u...

#ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited “When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty.” When laws are used to suppress individual rights or inflict harm, it's not just a right to resist, but a moral obligation.

In the NYT today, Trump says Putin might not be serious about peace. 🤪 Really? Ya think? Is this what happens when you don’t hire based on merit? Sheesh!

From The New York Times. Ok, folks, we've now moved from Constitutional crisis to full-on attacks on our judicial system. When they're arresting judges, where do you think that puts you, Joe Citizen? Nowhere good... www.nytimes.com/2025/04/25/u...

www.nytimes.com/2025/04/17/u... Grow a spine! GOP Congresspeople, you signed up for this, you allowed it to happen. If you don’t stop him, you won’t have to worry about polls and reelection: you will have aided and abetted a dictator. Do you want to live in the U.S. or in a lawless autocracy?!

The SAVE Act is headed to the Senate. If it's signed into law, millions will feel the impact—especially women. Jennifer Weiss-Wolf says: enough with the gaslighting. This is voter suppression in democracy’s clothing.

THERE IS NO OTHER WAY TO PUT IT.

The state of the union. Allies, what’s left of you, please heed the call.

The crux of this article, that Americans are not bothered by criminals in the White House, or wholesale destruction of our governmental systems, but rather by the hit their personal finances will take, is disturbing. Are Americans just shallow money worshippers? www.nytimes.com/2025/03/08/o...

www.nytimes.com/video/us/pol... I have never ever seen a person in higher office in this country speak this way to the leader of another country. Shameful doesn’t even begin to describe this mockery of presidential and vp duties. Like ineffectual parents yelling at a child. Idiots.

A new Lucy Dacus video dropped today. Being a cis parent of a queer kid, this video is so important and generous of Dacus. People being comfortable and proud of who they are should be the norm, not the exception. This video is a light in our dark times. youtu.be/a90_cjTF770?...

A man, no plan, a canal: Trump. Vindictively undoing all the positive things your predecessors did is not a plan. We must resist the orange man and his attempts to undermine the country for power and profit. The cost of not speaking out against him loudly could be the only serious thing about him

As an avowed left-winger, I want to sincerely applaud those Republican Congresspeople who are resisting the orange man’s loyalty test and voting against a shut down. To thine own self (and and the nation’s health) be true!

With South Korea being the latest democracy to teeter on the edge of autocracy, one would think it’s time for democratic nations, especially prosperous ones, to take a hard look in the mirror. How are they failing the people? Perhaps it’s time democracy divorced capitalism…

In the spirit of bipartisanship, this committed vegetarian is cooking turkey for meat-eating family members when we host tonight. May all your Thanksgivings be conflict-free, and if they’re not, that’s why cocktails were invented!

On potential tariffs the orange man claims he will impose, do you think this will be a disaster or an accidental form of brinksmanship, akin to the bumbling and lucky Reagan approach to the USSR? I’m dubious that orange man is capable of a real strategy, even when coached, because he’s impulsive.

We lost our beloved family dog yesterday. 14 years of love and then a peaceful death with the family by his side. I can’t stop crying.

Re Gaetzgate Johnson says releasing the ethics report on a man with no ethics would “break protocol,” but when they do it to Dems (and there’s nothing to report), it’s “cleaning the swamp?!”
