There is a point where one can admit they got conned. That they believed in the wrong person. That they can have have changed there mind. There is a point where the "cost sunk" is no longer enough of a reason. But there is also a point where there is no such thing as forgiveness.

Be careful, Portland. Don't give further excuses but absolutely hold your ground.

Not only should the Dems refuse to cave on the shutdown; they should announce they won’t vote for a budget until: (a) the military is withdrawn from every American city where it’s been deployed; (b) the budget forbids the use of any funds for that purpose; AND (c) the healthcare demand already made.

Dear MAGA voters, realizing you were conned is more than okay. We hope you find your way back. I won’t shake my finger at you. I will ask that you help us fight to get democracy back. We need you.

Reporters: we need to know about the ICE agents who have quit. We need to know about the number of soldiers calling the hotlines or refusing to go. We need to know that not all of our military or militarized police are going to turn on us.

From Ken Burns' “The 2025 Battle of Portland” 🎶Sweet Betsy From Pike🎶 “Dearest Prunella: As I write to you, a silent war rages in Portland. ANTIFA is the sneakiest foe of any war. Being invisible, they are difficult to find. Please pray for me as I enjoy my delicious coffee. Your Loving Husband”

Texas People, for your consideration.

Portland. Portland is where we are avoiding the Epstein Files now. Neat.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Texas Renaissance Festival opens in two weeks. I've got so much work to do in my shop. And less time to do it in with even less people. Ick.

BREAKING: Per MSNBC, Nexstar has ALSO CAVED and will stop preempting Jimmy Kimmel Live! Way to go, everyone!

BREAKING: Sinclair FOLDS and ends its preemption of Jimmy Kimmel Live! The show will return tonight on Sinclair's ABC affiliates.

The fact that the Epstein estate is handing over documents..... They want this out & done too.

Autism doesn’t need to be “fixed.” Fascism needs to be neutered.

Wow. Alex Jones is far more miserable than I remember him being. The mustache is weirdly an improvement, but not going to do much for his image.

There's the possibility of a government shut down. For all the usefulness of our representatives.... Honestly, might not be the worst thing. Other than a lot of everyday people not getting paid.

I generally do not body shame people in any way. However, I am failing to understand how I'm older than Loomer & still get mistaken for an undergrad. Is my youthfulness because I have a soul?

The shhoter in Dallas didn't go for ICE. They went for detainees. What's the term? "Fish in a barrel"? Can't wait to find out where this guy got radicalized or which group he was a fascist fanboy of.

Two big firsts today. No other American president has ever named a political opponent to be prosecuted—much less had an AG follow through with an indictment. No FBI Director has ever released evidence from a live crime scene. The Epstein files must be SO BAD.

Wow. The Pokémon Company should sue.

Helluva photograph.

Rather pointed to say "Thoughts & prayers to the injured & deceased" after saying no ICE personnel were hurt.

Make local advertisers on those local stations question where their loyalties are: their pocketbooks & public image, or a propaganda machine of a fascist government.

It's Rapture Day. Who's still here?

BREAKING: This Trump / Epstein statue to honor “friendship month” was mysteriously placed on the national mall. I love it. Don’t stop talking about Epstein.

So.... when's this Rapture supposed to happen? Like, I've got shit to do & want to plan accordingly.

The horrendously quiet part about the Autism & Tylenol presser: it's the mother's fault. It's the unspoken 'who's really to blame." Mother's are expected to birth, raise the kids, get the vaccines, & it will be entirely their moral failing to have a kid with Autism. That's the quiet part.

Our work is not done… 📌 Sinclair Broadcast Group is still refusing to air Jimmy Kimmel Live! on its ABC affiliates nationwide. Folks, you know what to do. Google Sinclair-owned networks and channels in your city and act accordingly.

ABC brought him back but the fight for Kimmel isn't over when Sinclair owns 40% of stations & is refusing to air the show. So now we break Sinclair (who is in a serious amount of debt already). Here's a great piece I saw this morning to help with that.

Autism, officially diagnosed in the 1930s, predates the 1950s invention of Tylenol. Release the Epstein Files. And the Homan Files, while we are at it.

Cool story, Disney. Still not resubscribing.

So many coverups. Release the Epstein files. Release the Homan tapes. Release the Venezuelan fishing boats evidence.

Just because Kimmel is back does not mean you resubscribe. More than likely, there will be changes to the formatting & writing. Take notes & make Disney earn it back. Once the 1st Amendment is disregarded, trust is gone.

A SUV just reversed crashed through the lobby of the real job. No one is hurt. But I am listing this as a reason to have the PA system turned down; I was in the building & didn't hear it happening.

If you believe the Rapture, this one predicted by some pastor in South Africa, is happening tomorrow, I will happily take donations from your bank account. No refunds. All donations final.

If the hacker who devastated Ashley Madison could do something similar to the ultra conservatives hunting for companionship in Glendale on Grindr tonight, that could be neat.

Oh boy. What cult foolishly set an end date this week?

Wow! Just saw I broke 4K today. Thanks for deciding to see whatever it is I post here.

Check on your trans friends. This last week's news has been rough.

Welp. 😬🇺🇸

I hope some newspapers use a crop where you can easily read the sign.

🚨 MAJOR BREAKING A federal judge has THROWN OUT Donald Trump's $15 billion lawsuit against the New York Times, ruling that the lawsuit lacked "any legitimate legal claims." The judge is giving Trump 28 days to file another version of the lawsuit.

Parents have distracted kids for centuries before internet & Disney. They won't have a future if you can't parent well enough to show them to not put up with bullies & unsubcribe to an app.

Just got a Disney+ ad in my other socials. Every comment was a variant of "I stand with Jimmy Kimmel", "Best channel I've ever cancelled", & "Vacation plans cancelled." I'm proud of the People. Keep that shit up.

Join us in canceling Disney Plus. Let’s boycott ABC and Disney. If you’ve already canceled, drop a “done” in the comments.

Reminder: this is in Project 2025. They told us what they were going to do & we were told "It's not real". Well, it is. Here we are. Are we overreacting yet?

Folks, when I say the regime is desperate, I do not mean that it is defanged or beaten. I mean that the means of its dismantling are exposed, and they know it, and fear it. We still have to be courageous enough to do that dismantling, and it only happens if we summon that courage and do that work.

Do you want to boycott ABC, FCC, & Nexstar? Turn off your TV and go to your public library and check out books and DVDs. Or go to your public libraries digital service and get e-books and movies for download and streaming. SUPPORT PUBLIC LIBRARIES by using public libraries. Surge their numbers! 📚💙
