This quote from Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell has been in my head the last few days

Everything is on fire, and our Congress is taking two weeks off.

The Jetsons lied to us

What is Congress waiting for?

"It could last six days, six weeks. I doubt six months." — Donald Rumsfeld on the Iraq War (7 Feb 2003).

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

I promise you that the government that murdered Alex Pretti and Renee Good does not give a flying fuck about the protests in Iran.

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done - started a war in the middle east - completely destroyed the economy

I didn’t make this, but it’s pretty spot on

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

Listen to this. Not a penny more for this. Abolish and prosecute anyone who had anything to do with it.

omg everybody go draw a horse this is what the internet was made for gradient.horse

It might actually be a cult.

It always feels like all the wrong people die, but I think it’s because there are far more beloved people than there are bastards.

I can’t tell what horrible thing is a distraction anymore.

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

living in a world where the only two jobs are “gambling” and “murder” isn’t nearly as cool as Cowboy Bebop made it out to be

I can’t wait until he appoints his golf cart consul.

BIG FIGHT AT POLAND’S WROCLAW ZOO!!!

Idea for Tony Gilroy's next Star Wars TV series that bridges the gap between RotJ and Force Awakens. It's basically the story of how the rebel alliance fails to prosecute or punish the Empire for anything they did during the original series, including blowing up planets.

Amanda Gorman wrote this poem for Renee Good and that’s it for me tonight.

This war and extra-judicial kidnapping is patently illegal and unconstitutional. Political leaders on both sides must condemn it. It’s not about whether Maduro is a tyrant but whether the US is still governed by laws and the Constitution. As if this morning, we are clearly not.

Here’s to 2026

What is Congress waiting for?

He'll start a war to: 1. Distract from the Epstein Files 2. Steal oil 3. Justify emergency powers 4. Justify use of the AEA for deportation/internment 5. Help the drug lord he just pardoned

Today, after the Coast Guard lifted a ban on swastikas and nooses as symbols of hate, and after President Trump called for the execution of members of Congress, it is time for every American to decide. Who will you be? Here is Burt Lancaster as Nazi era judge Ernst Janning in Judgment at Nuremberg.

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

genuinely beautiful that new york elected a muslim lefty mayor the same day that dick cheney died

New York knows how to do Halloween!

If SNAP benefits vanished tomorrow, feeding 42 million Americans for a month would cost about $7.8 billion.That’s less than 1% of the combined net worth of the three richest men in the U.S. A reminder of how obscene inequality has become and how easily hunger could be solved if we chose to.

Here is mike johnson's phone number today for his washington office 202-225-2777. I've already called him this morning and let him know my feelings on the shutdown and the Epstein files. Will you call him?

Mike Johnson doesn't know sh*t

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

he's going to come after you either way, so you might as well act with integrity

All the world leaders are the same world leaders that were the world leaders a decade ago.

southsideweekly.com/federal-agen... The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.
