This song is just beautiful & brings a tear to my eye whenever I see this film. RIP Catherine O'Hara

So... government sanctioned murder is just something we openly support now? No criticism from other nations? Media indifference? Jeez...

Are we openly blackmailing countries now?

After all the terrible news from the last few weeks, maybe we'll finally get a break toda..... OH F#¢k!!!!! Are you kidding me!?!

Republicans were smart to pass the bill today. It's the start of the Independence Day weekend. Journalists & editorialists are taking time off, families are traveling, & interest in news is minimal for a public who is already somewhat indifferent & apathetic.

He's right.

I know there is a lot going on. I believe the most important matter right now is the Big Ugly Bill. Public health & policy researchers at Yale and the UPenn warn that provisions in the reconciliation bill could lead to more than 51,000 deaths annually if enacted. Please tell your Rep to vote no ASAP

Democrats are more interested in personal aggrandizement than government. A third congressman has died, less than 5 months into Trump's term, making it even easier for Republicans to pass their extreme agenda. This is in addition to running an 80 year old with cancer & dementia for president.

Do NOT support Democrats who literally embrace fascism.

"I am a Palestinian political prisoner in the US. I am being targeted for my activism." -Mahmoud Khalil

Roberts & far right Court allow deportation, without due process, to Salvadoran torture camp. SCOTUS is human garbage in robes. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Roberts endorses Trump's fascism

The far right extremists in North Carolina are changing the rules AFTER the election, in support of a radical conservative colleague of theirs. Welcome to the USA in the age of fascism.

When asked how fascism starts, Bertrand Russell replied: "First, they fascinate the fools. Then they muzzle the intelligent."

And then Dr Frankenstein said, "I had turned loose into the world a depraved wretch, whose delight was in carnage and misery!" With great regret, he finally saw the destruction his creation had set upon the world.

Online Media & social media are overwhelmingly right wing. This is increasingly clear in American voting habits, especially with young voters noticeably moving towards conservative candidates & issues.

Does anyone still deny that the US is a right-wing country because Americans have, especially the white majority, a far right identity? People actually like the madness of the Trump administration. It's sickening.

Senator Gillibrand voted with Republicans for cloture on the Implementing DOGE Act. They couldn't have done it without her.

Democrats, against requests from federal workers, assisted Republicans in allowing Elon Musk to implement the Department of Government Efficiency. 10 Democrats helped the far right to advance the "Implementing Decreases in Overall Government Expenditures Act" or the "Implementing DOGE Act".

HuffPost has a point here. The American Media wasn't ready for Trump and it shows. In fact, the press seems increasingly pliant to Trump's demands.

This is fucking wild. I can't believe we're about to allow this. www.alternet.org/amp/trump-pr...

They say the black demon angler fish is terrifying. I just don't see it. 🤔

Still don't think the USA is a far right country? Check out Trump's approval amidst creating the most conservative US government since the New Deal era. And the leaderless Democrats are producing a pretty feckless response. To the 46% of Americans who aren't fascists: please try & help each other.

Claudia Sheinbaum gave in to Trump. She agreed to send 10,000 Mexican troops to the US/Mexico border to round up people trying to migrate north. This proves world leaders will consent to Trump's bullying. The world has learned little of appeasement since the 1940s. Expect Trump threats to continue 😒

I was looking at upcoming Senate races. There's a realistic chance that I won't live to see another Democratic Senate. The Republicans might have a permanent majority. I looked up articles & others have noticed this as well...

Doomsday Clock reset to 89 seconds to midnight. That sounds about right, for better or worse... 😒

The fact that we aren't marching in the streets over this insanity is maddening. Trump gets to pick what science can be shared with the public? We're all okay with this? Why aren't Democratic leaders yelling about this overreach?

The BS gaslighting never ends...

I can't help but think of this tune lately. Wishing the best to our friends & family in Southern California. ☮️

I wonder, in presidential elections, does legislation really matter? Judicial nominations? Down-ballot reps? 81% of voters ranked the economy as a primary concern. Sadly, this is where presidential policy matters the least, in the short term, & where the public opinion is more vibe based.

What a douche...

Wow. Fox might be on to something. They should demand congressional hearings to find out if these cases had any validity. I, for one, would love to see if the evidence he collected warrants a trial. I'm sure with both legislative houses, Republicans will have hearings on Jack Smith's findings. 😉

Bella ciao is an anti-fascist Italian song dedicated to the partisans of the Italian resistance, which fought against the occupying troops of Nazi Germany and the collaborationist Fascist forces during the liberation of Italy.

The Trump team has an amazing record of avoiding accountability. I wonder if this report will change anything. It seems sexual misconduct is a feature, rather than a bug, of the incoming administration. Will it matter, though?
