Semi-regular reminder that a sane country would have already impeached and removed. But then again a sane country wouldn’t have elected a maniac criminal twice in the first place.

This is Jade. She just met the biggest dogs she's ever seen. But quickly learned they have the biggest hearts too. 13/10 for all (TT: catimtins.pscal)

Good on you ladies.

"On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be occupied by a downright fool and a complete narcissistic moron." — H.L. Mencken, 1920

So if Tylenol creates autism we’re cool then with vaccines right? RIGHT???? RFK jr is insane, so it POTUS

Amber Alerts save lives. But in Michigan, too many vulnerable seniors go missing, and without a Silver Alerts system, we leave ourselves open to tragedy and heartbreak - pain that is entirely preventable with the right tools.

Every so often, like a stuck clock, he says something accurate.

& every parent that had a kid on the spectrum, should be furious and disgusted that Trump and RFK jr are talking about autism like it’s some horrific thing.

Trump hyped a huge autism announcement for months then followed through today with a press conference where his brain leaked out of his ears for an hour while he couldn't pronounce "acetaminophen" and yelled "DON'T TAKE ASPIRIN" over and over. Congratulations, America.

Six days ago, the Trump administration strong-armed ABC and Disney into suspending Jimmy Kimmel. Thousands of Americans spoke out to protest this blatant attack on free speech, and now Kimmel will return to television tomorrow. Never doubt the power of collective action.

What is happening is that a thoroughly corrupt man is getting away with everything.

Same fucking shit…

Every pundit who took at face value the idea that the Right sincerely cares about free speech, or ideological diversity, or in fact has any principles at all, should be wearing a dunce cap and writing a lengthy mea culpa right now. Not for our catharsis but for public awareness at least

By the head of the Federal Communications Commission, in 2023:

The President assures us there's no inflation. August inflation:

Pls keep it up, Gov Pritzker! We are hoping you’ll create a BLUEprint for how it’s done 💙

This is Hana. She found a secret hiding place. Also happens to be very bad at keeping secrets. 13/10 (IG: hanachan_1111)

"You're not the radical. A system which gives so much to so few and denies so many people the basic necessities of life....that's radical."

Before he was a Senator, a candidate for President, and our greatest champion in the fight against oligarchy, Bernie Sanders was the four-term Mayor of Burlington, VT. I sat down with Bernie in Astoria to talk about the lessons he learned—and the work ahead.

"Rules? PISS ON YOUR FUCKING RULES!" -- Ken Kesey, born #OTD 1935, in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest"

His brand of it is particularly garish but all authoritarianism is basically government by spoiled child. No capacity for or interest in any principles. People who are nice to me get treats, people who are mean to me get abuse. I get what I want or I cry and thrash. Embarrassing

This is Rosie and Pancho. Rosie has spent days digging a suspiciously Pancho-sized hole. Did not help the premeditated charges by putting him in it to check her measurements. 13/10 for both (TT: sophie.molkenthin)

Alleging that someone is a DEI hire implies they are suboptimal picks. The fact that these claims are coming from supporters of the most incompetent loathsome piece of shit to ever occupy 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue doesn't exactly bolster their case.

Reported today by the NYTimes:

NEW: No, Charlie Kirk was not practicing politics the right way. That's what Ezra Klein said. We can condemn this heinous assassination but also recognize that with his 2020 election denialism and extremist rhetoric, Kirk built his movement with falsehoods and in a wrong and divisive manner.

JUST IN: Brazil’s top court sentences former President Jair Bolsonaro to 27 years and 3 months in prison over his attempted coup

I blame his hate speech

We're all gonna die anyway, right?

WHO DID THIS???!!!

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone. Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care. The system is broken.

Trump rolled out the red carpet for Putin on American soil just weeks ago. That emboldened Putin, leading to the attacks on Poland right now. It’s not a stretch to say that Donald Trump is fanning the flames of a world war.

Protests against Trump erupt inside D.C. restaurant as people chant to his face: “FREE D.C.! FREE PALESTINE! TRUMP IS THE H*TLER OF OUR TIME!” (via Sam Waldenberg / CNN)

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.

We're three lines into "First they came..."

This is Zumi. She is protecting you from the raindrops. They never stood a chance against her. 13/10 (TT: riyathemiamirealtor)

Swalwell: He’s telling you not to see your neighbor being chased through a Home Depot parking lot because he’s just trying to work hard and provide for his family. And he’s telling you not to see the drawing he made for Jeffrey Epstein.

Not the brightest bulbs.

With football being back I need everyone to know that the word “huddle” is just a combination of the words “hug” and “cuddle”.
