Cognitive off-loading (using a calculator) vs. Cognitive surrender (becoming dependent on online maps to even know where you are). Reflect on this when using AI tools.

It’s nice to see broadcast media highlighting the imaginary fantasy life of delusional president of the United States. MAGA just ignores this but it sure seemed important to them when the previous president showed signs of age.

In case you’re unsure what corruption is. This is an example: “Kid Rock…brushed off concerns about the investigation when questioned by Nashville local station WKRN on Monday, saying “I think they’re gonna be alright, my buddy’s the commander-in-chief.” www.forbes.com/sites/zachar...

To the extent that anyone sees paper money anymore, this is going to backfire with tons of defaced bills stuffed into the bikini strap at strip clubs.

I am a good landlord. I just put a new roof on a birdhouse in the backyard even though they didn't file a claim.

In the past, I have honestly argued that some income inequality isn’t necessarily a problem when all boats rise. I was wrong about that, but even if you still hold this view, the other boats have to actually be floating!

Somebody is making a fortune on the war with inside information and it is grotesquely corrupt.

Surely not! Corruption in Trumpland?!

"No one's doing anything." There have been over 40,000 protests since Trump's 2nd term began, nonstop organizing, and countless quiet (by necessity) actions. The media is suppressing the scale of the backlash against fascism. Look for it, and you'll find it.

Rampant corruption. Trump/Epstein friends have power to use the government to remove obstacles. Are Trump and GOP working to make your life better or just enrich themselves? www.nytimes.com/2026/03/20/u...

The Iranian regime is a threat to their people and the planet. But nothing is being achieved in this MAGA war which wasn’t already in place under a treaty Trump tore up.

The MAGA admin is sent an ultimatum of what might well be a war crime in retaliation for Iran choking oil supply. Won’t work. Iranian leaders don’t care if the people suffer, obviously, and they won’t. Also, Trump Always Chickens Out applies to threats like this.

True when this was made, true when those folks cared enough about America to say something and true when it’s reposted today. Republicans didn’t change their minds about Trump, they just think power is more important than service.

A pedestrian yelled at me for riding (slowly, I promise !) on the sidewalk. I pointed at the racks a short distance away. We’re mad at the wrong people.

The president is embarrassing, but maybe that doesn't matter as long as countries kowtow to our strength. So, how's that going? Trump has been so bad with our allies that when he asked them, in public, for support and America was spurned. Power through strength has its limits.

Do you think war is a bad idea, but *if* we're going to fight one it should be for good reasons and the population must support it? Congress obviously isn't playing their role. Instead we could: * reinstitute the draft. * pass a law that war can only be financed through taxes not future debt.

For a country and world so inured to lying from our politicians it is refreshing for the U.S. administration to be so open and honest about the motivation of War for Oil in Iran. Not really messaging I'd have thought popular, but there is confidence is partisanship!

We know you commute 45 minutes and can't ride a bike. We're not asking you to. We're advocating for infrastructure so people who can walk, bike, or take high quality transit, actually do. Getting them out of their cars is what finally frees up the roads for those who have to drive.

Republicans are famously debt hawks...looking at every opportunity to curtail spending on medical care, veteran's care, children's services, SNAP benefits, waste and abuse. And people believe them and vote for them based on this. Meanwhile: www.denverpost.com/2026/03/18/u...

Democratic members of congress are fighting against the SAVE act because they think it's bad for freedom and democracy even though it's likely to disenfranchise more MAGA voters! Democrats vote for a better America. Republicans vote for what keeps them in office.

A friend just asked: if 20% of the oil comes through the strait of Hormuz, why are prices well over 20% higher already. Prices and supply aren't linearly correlated with a slope of 1, but, um, why *are* they up sooo much when the U.S. is likely not dramatically suffering from the shortage?

30 million Americans will have dramatically higher insurance costs (mine go up more than 3x) because GOP thinks the budget isn’t balanced enough. Watch this and see if you’re happy with how your money is being spent.

Oh how I wish this wasn’t satire. 💙

Trump might not be lying. I think he really imagined he spoke with a former president who agreed with him. Dementia will do that to a person.

The opinion on politics and policy from this random rich dude should never have warranted a broadcast television interview.

Hot take: Craftsman. (Greek columns aren't American either way. Doric or Corinthian. Why not a truly American architectural design? also, how the hell are we talking about columns at the Whitehouse while at war, and with healthcare increasing up to 3X for many Americans? America First my ass.)

All signs continue to point to an exceptional, long-duration, and record-breaking to (in some cases) record-shattering March heatwave initially centered across U.S. Southwest but expanding to much broader region next week. This is effectively a full-on summer heatwave in March.

Allies? Who needs 'em? (except if the want oil, they have to come and help us out in the Straight of Hormuz).

Do you remember that Jan 14th of this year Donald Trump flipped off and mouthed "fuck you" to a constituent at a Ford Plant who shouted "pedophile protector" as Trump walked by during a plant tour? Trump benefits from flooded a news cycle so that we forget his constant shitty actions.

At the rate Democrats are flipping seats in contested primaries and special elections, they could, maybe, surprise everyone, win a sufficient majority in the Senate to actually REMOVE Trump. Just imagine it! Then vote, encourage others, help friends, drive seniors, volunteer, MAKE IT HAPPEN!
