AT&T has the worst customer service. That is all.

Epstein information youtu.be/FRuBGktX-J0?...

The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.

When Epstein calls you "dirty" you need to reassess your life

If you’re a Democrat who wants my money, my work, and my vote, then you have to be committed to new party leadership. Period.

Serious turd polishing by @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com tonight. Sorry, buddy. We all know the actions of the Traitorous Eight are nothing but a lump of shit.

On Tuesday, Americans sent Democrats a resounding message. “Fight for us” “Fight for working class Americans” “Fight against Trump’s corruption, criminality and cruelty” 5 days later, Democrat Senators sent Americans a resounding message. “Nah”

“You know why people don't like liberals? Cause they lose. If liberals are so fucking smart, how come they lose so god damn always?” — Will McAvoy, The Newsroom We lose because we elect people like Tim Kaine, cowards who lack the courage of their supposed convictions. Shame on him, and shame on us.

This isn’t very hard, folks.

Our continued dependence on fossil fuels as our primary energy source is a choice. We have options.

In Kennedy v. Louisiana, SCOTUS held that imposing the death penalty a case that did not involve homicide is “cruel and unusual punishment” in violation of the Constitution. Thus, summary killing of alleged (or even actual) drug runners violates the supreme law of the United States. It is murder.

#ResistanceRoots #ResistanceEarth Today in history, 1948: Dense smog claims 11 elderly victims in Donora, Pa. Fog had trapped toxic pollutants from a zinc smelting plant close to the ground, making thousands sick. The tragedy led to the passage of the 1955 Clean Air Act. /1

“Compassion and Action” should be the new Dem motto. Our country does better when we ALL do better, not just a privileged few. Targeted government action—like Obamacare, SNAP, infrastructure—improves lives, esp. compared to the destruction and neglect of MAGA. C&A is a positive path forward.

💯 across the board. Above all else, the $130M “donation” by billionaire nepo-baby, Timothy Mellon, proves unequivocally that the rich can easily pay more in taxes.

We are in middle school hell with this administration. Just days away from the President of the United States yelling “6, 7!” into a microphone and walking out of the room.

Hot take: Nazi tattoos should be a deal-breaker for at least one of the two major U.S. political parties.

Two days ago, he took a shit on the American people. Today, he began demolishing the People’s House. That’s all he does. He shits on people, and he destroys things. Bcuz he’s a horrible person. I blame him a lot for the death & destruction he’s caused. I blame his enablers & his appeasers even more.

Everything Trump does is projection or admission. Here, it’s an admission that all he does is shit on America.

So, according to MAGA, 30 year old Nazis are just “kids,” but teenage girls are “wonderful secrets.” Got it.

A foreign country is going to have a military base on U.S. soil. Did we lose a war while I wasn’t looking?

Hegseth clearly thinks Col. Jessup was the real hero in “A Few Good Men.”

Yesterday, we saw proof that MAGA leadership, like Musk, Thiel, and Bannon, are among the cabal of sex trafficking pedophile elites in the Epstein files. Today, Trump declared war on Portland to change the subject. Just imagine how bad the rest of those files must be.

For Disney, in particular, it’s going to be hard to get anyone back who watched Andor and understood the plot.

Boycotts work!

This is it, but people are too gullible and mindless to realize it.

“[F]or Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.” 2 Corinthians 11:14. Evil people rarely come straight out and tell you they are evil. Most wouldn’t accept them if they did. Rather, they hide behind performative action and rhetorical facades that make it harder to discern their true nature.

A kindergarten teacher at the school my kids attended was fired today. Sorry, “given the opportunity to resign.” She had the temerity to post on social media over the weekend that, while nothing justifies political violence, Charlie Kirk does not deserve to be canonized. Fuck these fucking fascists.

How you die does not redeem how you lived.

A week after our gov’t unlawfully “smoked” 11 people, a pundit at the network the President watches, and where many top gov’t officials used to work, suggests we “just kill” all the homeless—exterminate the “other.” As much as they don’t like being compared to Nazis, they sure like the playbook.

"Of all the paths you take in life, make sure a few of them are dirt" — John Muir

Isn’t the assumption—without knowing who killed Kirk or why—that he was killed for his views, an admission that he espoused the kind of views that one could expect to incite murderous violence?

Imagine the future history books: “In 2025, the Supreme Court ruled it was unconstitutional to consider race in helping a Latino student get into college, but totally awesome to consider race when throwing their dad into a concentration camp.”

We’ve crossed another threshold—that of gov’t sanctioned murder. Murder is a hallmark of totalitarians. Specifically, the murder of “others” that the regime declares a threat. The Khmer murdered intellectuals. Stalin murdered his opposition. The Nazis, of course, murdered Jews, gays, and others. 1/

It’s weird agreeing with Rand Paul, but our government killing private citizens in international waters and broadcasting those murders to the world is a big problem.

To me, Vance sounds like a co-conspirator to murder, trying to argue that some folks just need killin’.

Hoarding disorder is the accumulation of too many things one doesn’t actually need, difficulty parting with those things, and becoming upset by the thought of getting rid of them. So, why do we hospitalize those who hoard old magazines or cats, but lionize those who hoard the world’s resources?

“The time when most men could support a family ended in the 1980s” with Trickledown Economics. It benefited a handful at the top, while the masses fell further behind. The GOP then lionized the rich and blamed women, immigrants, and minorities for White-male losses. The system is the problem.

Why do we choose to allow this? We now have proof that the people who used to say we need weapons of war in civilian hands to protect us from governmental overreach are full of it (they always were). What is the argument in favor of continuing to allow mass shootings? www.kare11.com/article/news...

Once #Texas #redistricting is complete, my interests will be unrepresented at any level of government—local, state, or federal—with little hope of change due to gerrymanders. This realization has me feeling very Boston, circa 1773.

I’m worried by my side underestimating those on the other. Yes, MAGA is full of troglodytes. It’s also full of savvy operators who spent decades building networks. They managed to elect Trump—twice—and are implementing more of Project 2025 daily. Let’s not minimize the threat by calling them dumb.

So why not get up and leave? There are cameras all round. If they put hands on Collier, they would make her a greater martyr than she is now. Force them either to back down (weak) or escalate (fascist). Or is this just performative resistance—the appearance of fighting back without any substance?

This was an unlawful use of deadly force. The Constitution prohibits law enforcement from shooting at a fleeing suspect like this. See Tennessee v. Garner, 471 U.S. 1 (1985). If law enforcement officers don’t act lawfully, how long until someone shoots back (or shoots first)?

There are sheep, wolves, and sheepdogs. This is what it looks like when sheepdogs run off the wolves.

Newsom often rubs me the wrong way, but when the man’s, he’s right. Candlelight vigils and sing-alongs aren’t going to do it. We need action.

The defining characteristic of MAGA is a lack of empathy. They are simply incapable of comprehending how anything that does not affect them immediately and personally could be problematic. Of note, that’s also the defining characteristic of a sociopath.

I like good coffee. It’s a small indulgence, a daily luxury. My favorite grows in Ethiopia, and my favorite roaster is an Eritrean immigrant. I buy his beans in the shop owned by his American-born son. Two weeks ago, it cost $18 per bag. Today, it was $20. Tariffs are taxes on U.S. consumers.

Growing up in Oklahoma, my older sister’s best friend was the first person I knew to move to Texas. She left after high school and came home for a visit at Thanksgiving. Her report: “I’ve never seen so many people so proud … of nothing.” Texas has always had better marketing than delivery.
