October 7, 1977 Queen released "We Are the Champions" with "We Will Rock You" as the B-side. #ClassicRock #RockNRoll #ClassicVinyl #MusicSky youtu.be/7gpVj_fzv4o?...

I have always loved this song.

I can’t stop laughing at this one.

We’re at peak greed when the president brags about 24k gold décor for the White House while cutting commissaries, healthcare, and social nets. A palace of glitter for him, an empty pantry and hospital bill for you.

WTAF? Who is impressed by the hideous ostentatious gold he has used to desecrate the oval office? I think exactly no one. If they “freak out” it is a show to give him what he demands, or possibly a neurological reaction to the gaudiness.

Am I crazy, or do Dems need to let Trump own his threats about mass firings and not cave to his game of chicken? #shutdown

How do they endure the indignity of walking on terrazo? The horror!

We are fast becoming a banana republic, with two standards of justice. If you oppose the leader, you go to jail just for speech. If you're a loyalist, you get immunity for your crimes. That's what happens in Iran - not the United States. This is a decision moment for America.

Insanity. Sheer insanity.

I made a little video www.nytimes.com/video/opinio...

Cartoon by @andertoon.bsky.social.

A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security on 100% of their income. A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security on less than 1% of their income. Instead of raising the retirement age, we should scrap the Social Security tax cap.

“‘While this may be an unprecedented decision, it is important for broadcasters to push back on Disney programming that they determine falls short of community values.” This is statement from head of FCC. Do these same values apply to FOX programming?

People are cancelling ABC/Disney ... that's awesome.

The operative word is ME, for the “don’t tread on me” crowd. They don’t feel tread upon by their wildest dreams coming true. Apparently it doesn’t mean what I thought it meant.

I have never heard of anyone getting offended because someone shared MLK’s or Lincoln’s or FDR’s words online. Weird to be offended when your hero is simply being quoted.

Release the Epstein files!!!

Apparently, the only thing that Americans agree upon is: Release the Epstein Files.

This is interesting, but like, these two realities of kirk are not nearly on even footing. Goebbels had 6 kids and apparently, I've learned on Bluesky this week, "made a great strudel." Its much more important to know their horrors than the times they did something nice.

This may explain why there’s an aggressive response to people who merely post Kirk’s own words. It threatens the existence of the alternate Kirk - the motivational speaker that had been marketed to young kids and white Christian groups through selective quotation & clips.

We can’t become numb to this. Any American would isn’t outraged by the barbaric approach ICE takes, how will you feel when it is your loved-one screaming on the news? Anyone can become a target once this is the norm. #outraged #ICE #profiling

WTF #SupremeCourt ? #profiling is a-ok?

So if you are out on a boat Trump can just blow you up and kill you and everyone on board by saying you had drugs without presenting any proof? That’s how this works now?

“I don’t know what a constitutional crisis would look like” - Justice Amy Coney Barrett Look outside, Amy. The head of the executive branch considers himself above the law. He does not believe in co-equal branches of government. (1/3)

Seven Presidents (including trump 45) have allowed this peaceful protest to stand. But trump 47 isn’t a president, he is a dictator, and he says it must be removed. #LafayetteSquare #DC thehill.com/homenews/adm...

“No president of the United States, even ones that I didn't like, thought that they were supposed to end the Constitution,“ Philipos Melaku-Bello, the man holding vigil in front of the tent in Lafayette Square on Friday evening, told Law Dork. www.lawdork.com/p/the-man-ho...

“Every country for its entire existence has always had borders. We’re the only country who says, ‘Come on in,’” said Osborne, 24. “There needs to be a control on who can come in, to make sure you’re not some psycho.” www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

This is the most disgusting and embarrassing display of ass-kissing I have ever seen. I regret having watched it. Reading it is enough / too much. #FDT #Witkoff #Nobel

Stalin-ass banners out in DC now

Department of War? The preoccupation with renaming and going back to names that we have left behind is so irritating and wasteful. As a practical matter, think about all that costs that go into changing an agency name, the website, the letterhead, the business cards on and on and on.

In case you missed it, this is fucked www.nytimes.com/2025/08/21/u...

Truth

Trump is doing exactly what MAGA has been ranting about for years—covering up Epstein ties, protecting elite pedophile rings, silencing victims, and giving safe harbor to child sex traffickers. And he’s doing it in plain sight.

Me three months ago:

This is a great question and a good video.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Enjoyed the new #Superman movie last night, and just rocked out to Jimmy Olsen’s Blues for the first time in decades. Lifted my mood, if only temporarily. #nostalgia #SpinDoctors

Call your congressional delegation now, today, and DEMAND they speak out for transparency on the Epstein files. #idpol #Idaho #Epstein #CoverUp #Trump

#GoodTroubleLivesOn #Boise #Idaho Not as many people in attendance on this hot weekday, but the speakers were among the best of all the protests, and the sound system was best it has been. We marched to Risch’s office and up 8th Street during the lunch rush. Kudos to the organizers on this one!!

Why do they wait in the hospital lobby? I don’t get it. Are they paid by the hour?

ILM Action Network and @yorkcorising.com have added their voices to the call for a #GeneralStrike! If you're sick of ICE then call in sick on August 1st.
