YOLO Trump Trump's tacky facade is cracking! talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/yolo-...

Are we sure about that? Nixon certainly was.

“During the 1950s-60s, the rise in automobile traffic transformed Dutch cities, resulting in traffic congestion, pollution, & an alarming increase in crashes. In 1971, more than 3,300 people lost their lives in crashes, including 400 children. These shocking numbers led to public protests…” Change.

This is incredible.

Eastern prickly pear cacti getting ready for their June bloom. Over the yrs both produced enough pads for 2 new patches. Last yr the larger patch (1) had a higher flower/pad ratio. Looks like the smaller patch (2,3) will this yr. #cacti #flowers #BloomScrolling #nature #photography #AltText

Half of business owners on this Toronto street estimated that more than 25% of their customers arrived by car. In fact, it was 4%. And the % of customers who who walked or cycled? 72%. Retailers routinely overestimate the # of “car customers.” Via @carltonreid.com www.forbes.com/sites/carlto...

Journalists who start headlines with the words “Trump says …” should back up and decide whether there’s a more credible approach to take.

Ryan Holiday is right to invoke the Meditations to condemn Trump. Aurelius challenged populism and the “obsequious courting of the mob,” so it isn’t hard to imagine what he would think of Trump’s Truth Social feed.

Evening viewing recommendation? Watch Hal Ashby's HAROLD AND MAUDE (1971). ❤️ Equal parts gallows humor and romantic innocence, Ashby's film dissolves the line between darkness and light along with the ones that separate people by class, gender, and age

I'll wait for the Lego video so I can know what's really going on with Iran😏

Is it just me or wouldn't it be cheaper to elect a new president that doesn't require a ballroom?

"The DOJ has provided painfully little guidance as to how the new slush fund will be doled out." Layers and layers of malice, corruption, cynicism, and incompetence.

Paul McCartney being surprised by how much Will Ferrell and Chad Smith look alike 😂

Republicans want you to believe that the 2020 election was stolen, the insurrection was justified & their voter suppression laws are about election security. That's because they know they can't win if we all vote and they've embraced fascism to stay in power. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

“I pity the man who wants a coat so cheap that the man or woman who produces the cloth will starve in the process.” — Benjamin Harrison I support a higher minimum wage.

The Israelites were punished for worshipping a golden calf. Will the MAGAts be punished for worshipping an orange pig?

If Trump was a planner he would have pre-positioned squadrons of A-10s to bases along the Persian Gulf. This storied plane is no longer useful for close air support in the age of ManPADs, but it is ideal for shooting down slow moving drones over friendly territory.

If Trump was a planner he would have accepted Zelenskyy’s offer of interceptor drones. He would have relocated non-essential personnel.

Trump considers himself a modern Alexander or Napoleon. Both were meticulous planners. Alexander used a huge flotilla to ferry his army across the Hellespont. To attack Tyre he blockaded them for 7 months while he built a causeway one kilometer long.

Bruce Springsteen has no fucks to give. 👏

Many of you are asking how you can help me. My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket for free and share its content with everyone you know. Thanks. bit.ly/4a7l1TR

So $1.8 billion in reparations for insurrectionists, and zero for Epstein victims? Am I getting this right?

Still waiting on those $2 eggs, Donald. Still waiting on the $.99 gas. Still waiting on prices dropping “immediately” like you promised. What we got instead: tariffs, chaos, and a grocery bill that looks like a car payment. #TrumpsGroceryCrisis

The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. Put it in your cell phone. Use it. If you're not calling at least once a week, you're not doing your part.

💙💛Only two major Ruzzian refineries remain outside Ukrainian drone range - Omsk and Angarsk beyond the Urals, media reports. Ukraine has struck 24 of 33 major refineries since the invasion began, with Ruzzia’s fourth-largest refinery shutting down after May 20 drone attacks.

Slava Ukraine!

So in order to arrive at Memorial Day with some movement in the Iran debacle Trump has agreed to a factory reset to February 27, 2026? The last date before he began a useless war of choice? Since the nuclear component is not part of the "deal"? Now watch media crow about his negotiating skills.

Eleanor Best trained at the Slade in London and was a regular exhibitor at the Royal Academy and the Royal Society of Painter-Etchers and Engravers during the years when there was a revival of interest in both mezzotint and aquatint, evident in this work from around 1925.

If the NHL gets its Montreal-Las Vegas Stanley Cup final will it be called "The Celine Dion Series"?

Georgia O'Keeffe, Sunflower New Mexico, 1935 #WomensArt In folklore the sunflower is considered a flower of loyalty because each day it turns its head to loyally follow the sun, from east to west 🌞

Yet again the “largely” negotiated peace deal is actually just a memorandum of understanding to start negotiating.

Every one of them has the vibe of a traveling medicine show that thinks it's the first one to come along with the con. "What what? This is a certified tonic, my good man! How very dare you!"

And for billionaires and the corrupt lawmakers
