Idk man, I think the journalists who have been traumatized the most were not sitting in that room tonight. The feds gassed the shit out of us, knocked us over, sent in the local PD to harass, detain, and hurt us, shot a teenaged photographer in the face and he lost an eye, and that's just in LA

Republicans worked the long game to take over state legislatures, because they know that structural power is built from the ground up. We Democratic voters need to stop sleeping on these elections and become active participants and building our party's own power base!

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Wars/Trek, LOTR, Marvel

My wife and I watching and sharing our preferred video feeds. Me: Wow! There's a new theory that Homo Naledi's hands show adaptation to climbing *rocks*, not trees, and that they may have been nocturnal! Her: Have you seen this machine that makes music with marbles? Balance in marriage.

It passed! Well done, Virginia!

My daughter seems to be under the impression I'm a fragile little old lady, or nearly so. I love her more than life itself, but goddamn, she's pissing me off with "Ima, I'm only being practical". She has no clue the labor - demolition, hauling, lifting - I've done recently that would've broken her.

Bestie took an old friend to hospice care. She told me that upon letting the front desk know she was there, staff instructed her to "get her out of the car". I blew my stack. "Oh no, they did NOT! They *assumed* you were her PCA?!?" Yep, that's exactly what they did. And that's just the benign stuff

My son in NYC is feeling the effects of a mayor focused on small things that improve lives. He's noticed how often people move, and thinks the city could provide professional "moving services". I think it's brilliant and could create jobs for people with few skills beyond strength.

Baby Girl is back at her apt, with her brother, icing her eye, having a stiff drink, and going over the train schedules for tomorrow. She'll survive. We'll survive. Life sometimes is just really hard; I'll have to let her learn to navigate that without me swooping in to try to make it all better 😭

My daughter was on her way to visit us - but just called from the highway where she's been in an accident. She's okay, but the car is totaled. I hate that we're hundreds of miles away and can't give her a hug and whatever help she needs

This vapid moron is unbearable. Look, he wants to abolish the filibuster, so "we can ram through universal health care." Does he think that, if the Dems retake Congress, Trump will sign a universal health care bill? Has it occurred to him that, without the filibuster, the ACA would be gone now?

Her dialogues with herself as the maga neighbor or her red-pilled brother are pitch perfect. youtube.com/shorts/42cDv...

Always worth repeating: The alternative to the anti-democracy, pro-Putin, authoritarian GOP is NOT the anti-democracy, pro-Putin, authoritarian left. They are each other's allies, dedicated to the destruction of the Democratic Party.

Welp. The foreclosure hearing is tomorrow morning. That should be fun. gofund.me/89adcb0b1

From voter registration to car inspection - they're designed for the neurotypical. Fuck yeah, I believe there shoul be allowance for adhd/autism to get this shit done within our capacities. I work nights. Expecting me to get up at 7:30 to take my car for inspection feels really fucking personal.

I've read and studied enough history to have internalized that, how ever legitimate your anger, or however will-deserved their shame and ostracism, the smart move is to welcome m maga apostates. Forgive? Never. Resolve to work together for the future? Hell yeah - howdy, neighbor.

I honestly think it's worth noting that Magyar is not a progressive.. Not even a liberal. But when it came down to it, that he is pro-democracy was all that mattered. Sometimes - like when the alternative is fascism - you have to get behind that, rather than the candidate who promises you a unicorn.

I've recently gotten a few commissions; each cited their desire to help. It's worth mentioning because I'm not looking for handouts; I will gladly give you something for your money. So please help, because we're losing our home and terrified of what comes after for us 60+yos. gofund.me/c40d61ddd

Oh, yes! I'm very happy to live in the 21st century and have electricity once again.

Big, loud, dramatic thunderstorm just came through. The power is out. My coffee cup is nearly empty, my phone battery is at 10% . . . and all my chargers are in a box in the storage unit. 😭😭😭😭😭

I would really like for all the people anywhere left of center to stop using "DEI" to dunk on the appointment of any unqualified white man like it's a clever own. It's not - you're literally accepting the right's framing of "diversity, equity, & inclusion" as a handout to the unqualified. Stop it.

Oh yeah, this part, too. If your choice is between compromise and fascism, you have to not sit home and sulk because you don't like those choices.

This seems like a really good time to remind folks here in the U.S. to help Democrats win as many seats as possible this November. Pick a page, pick some candidates, donate today! Blue26.org #Hungary

Take notes, America.

trump to the world: "Iran's not blocking the straight of Hormuz - *I'm* blocking the straight of Hormuz." Sounds to my ears a lot like "you're not breaking up with me, *I'm* breaking up with you!" What a dipshit.

There is not a popsicle's chance in hell this guy isn't another Fetterman. Snap out of it, people.

You know what Xavier Becerra needs? Some OG #KHive juice! Maybe that's part of the reason I'm so excited. He's a great candidate, so people are immediately trying to take him down. We're gonna get the band back together, at least those of us in California.

I'd like to impress upon Americans that the Hungarian people removed Orban and his fascist party from power... By VOTING. That's the real "they don't want you to know this...". They don't want you to figure out that voting is powerful, and that we the people hold that power - unless we give it up

From Steve Hofstetter, and my addition, to the American president who openly supported Orban:

I heard someone describe a vaccine as showing your immune system a mugshot and telling it to stay on the lookout for anyone that looks like that guy.

Kamala Harris received the 3rd largest number of votes in a presidential election IN HISTORY with only 107 days to campaign. She was ON THE TICKET that got the largest number of votes. The second largest vote getter will not be running again. Tell me,who can get more than 75M votes? WHO? NAME THEM!

While packing, my wife came across one of my old photo albums. Tucked in there was this news clipping of my cross country team from my senior year in HS. Truly a lifetime ago. Oh, and please help with my GoFundMe - donate or spread the word. gofund.me/e0a0894f5

Please share - the problems are mounting 🫤 gofund.me/eda02f1dd

I'll say it again. Class solidarity divorced from racial justice is just white supremacy with free healthcare.

FYI, Kamala Harris doesn’t want to be AG or Governor! She’s been VP! Any other office, besides President is a demotion, and she’s much too skilled and qualified for that!

I thought maybe I was weird for connecting Melania's front-loading press statement to a custody battle and deportation involving Paulo Zampoli - the guy who introduced Melanie to djt. Maybe my intuition is still sharp. youtu.be/hcMK3V60cYU?...

Packing up after many years in the same house is really weird. And it's slowed down by the many things you come across that you'd forgotten or mislaid. And then you just have to sit and feel what they make you feel. This, for example, is full of baby teeth.

Turns out, the oil tank also needs to be replaced, because it's seeping. What a *@#% nightmare. gofund.me/2f4b3c8e8

Did no one else hear what I heard? Melania did not call for justice for Epstein's victims. She did not call for testimony under oath from the powerful men whose names were redacted. She called for the *victims* to testify under oath - AGAIN. She's quite literally suggesting they're all liars.

From a post: “Told my wife to have dinner ready by 6 or I'll obliterate her entire civilization. So anyway, she now charges me a fee to use the bathroom that used to be free, and I didn't get any dinner, but I'm pretty sure I won that exchange.”

OMG, have I mentioned how absolutely madly I love my daughter? (I'm sure I have). She just sent me this😂:

Trump's inherent stupidity is matched only by his violent resistance to learning anything.

"Ooh, we are powerless! Everything is rigged! Someone come rescue us! Self-education is haaaard! Democracy is haaaard! Won't someone DOOOOO SOMETHIIIIIIING!!"

Exactly this. Just to get his ass out of the mess he made, he made a "deal" that was an abject surrender. It cost countless lives, including children, and dozens of US military casualties . . . and now Iran effectively OWNS that straight. Well done, dipshit.

The world has just decided to move it along without us. "Hottest country". What a dipshit.

Cone dog

He's gonna punish them, isn't he?

I am about to press and drop a new shirt in my shop. I swear to goodness the orange demon is the source of constant material. 😭

You think Americans are made now? You think the pain is being felt pretty much all over? Just wait until Americans have to pay reparations to Iran to rebuild critical infrastructure when this idiocy is over.
