Donald Trump is too simple-minded to realize that when he brags about the White House's tacky new Caesars Palace Ballroom being "privately funded," he's admitting to taking bribes from influence peddlers, millionaires, and corporations that want something from him.

Paducah, Kentucky with reported 1,500 in attendance.

Way to go Arizona! The No Kings protest had great turnouts in so many AZ cities including Green Valley|Sahuarita! 👏👏👏👏👏

Hark, Speaker Mike Johnson! Looking at all the many, many pics of the enormous, joyous “No Kings” rallies throughout the United States today, I am struck by what lovely weather your Lord and Savior provided. Apparently, God is a fan of, as you claimed, "America-hating Antifa terrorists." Glory!

The obscene face of Christian Nationalism: outlandish untaxed wealth in defiance of Jesus. Oh, and this time, slave laborers, too! Glory! Just remember, for any money you give to Heaven, there is always a 100% handling fee here on Earth.

This is why they’re deleting studies

so many dead canaries and we just keep on mining

If you don't stop calling us fascists, we're going to have to use the full power of the state to investigate and punish all our political opponents.

He did the meme.

Feel free to continue arguing over the shooter's motives, but please understand that *it doesn't matter*. There's a organized political movement that plans to suppress, arrest, or kill its political opposition. It it seeking pretexts. Anything will do. If it's not this, it'll be something else.

wow

Look, this post claiming that the right is behind almost three times as much political violence as the left can’t be trusted, bc it comes from that noted far-left think-tank, the … oh, um, hm. Well, this is awkward.

Taking a little afternoon break to bike around and drop these little zines in all the little free libraries around town.

Here's a trick: Don't acknowledge the Clinton comments. Clinton is bait. The GOP knows Democrats don't care if Bill Clinton goes down. The GOP cares. The GOP is protecting Bill Clinton. Why? Donald Trump is protecting Bill Clinton. Why?

Do it! I used a version of a program like this ~15 yrs ago. Took my aging car off the road permanently & got cash, most of which I used toward some new bike gear and exploring not owning a car for a few years.

the supreme court says you can never use race to help people but you can always use race to hurt people

#AirPollution has changed over time, with sources evolving from wood burning and smelting to widespread fossil fuel use, industrial emissions, and intensified #wildfires. tinyurl.com/fbvzx743

Murders through August in San Francisco, New York City, Los Angeles and Chicago, 1960 - 2025:

By 2054, 125 million Americans could be exposed to unhealthy air. #Wildfires and rising heat are making #AirPollution harder to manage. A fresh look at clean air policy and #AirQuality monitoring could help us stay ahead. tinyurl.com/mps5nv6v

If Cracker Barrel sets them off, imagine how they’ll react when they hear I went woke in the New Testament — turning the other cheek, feeding the poor, all that radical stuff.

Slavery wasn’t that bad, BUT THE CRACKER BARREL LOGO REDESIGN IS AN ATTACK ON THE VERY SOUL OF OUR NATION. Am I doing this right?

They gaslit you all throughout the election.

It’s wild, absolutely wild, how for EVERY. SINGLE. CITY. Trump wants to militarize I can post data showing how crime is plummeting in all of them without any federal invasion… … and the press KEEPS stenographing the naked bad-faith claims about “fighting crime!” in the headlines. Infuriating.

Oh here it is! youtu.be/Dj9uKpk3Idk?...

Mark Zuckerberg has spent $110M to buy 11 houses in one Palo Alto neighborhood. He's turning the homes into a compound. That's on top of his 30 bedroom, 30 bathroom compound in Hawaii and another in Lake Tahoe. I don’t want to hear that billionaires can’t afford a wealth tax.

They get to endure what we’ve had to for ten years.

The masked secret police strike again, this time in DC. I’m authoring legislation to ban this extreme masking by law enforcement — including federal agents — in California. It’s anti-American.

I do love @deadder.bsky.social's illustrations @bluewavesurfer.bsky.social

New ICE data show that the court order banning profiling reduced ICE arrests in LA by 66%! In other words, ICE is effectively admitting that TWO THIRDS of LA arrests were unconstitutional profiling. Did they admit this to the court? NO! They lied to the courts...

The moment he named his platform “Truth Social” we were headed this way.

Kim Davis thinks marriage between a man and a woman is so sacred, she's done it four times.

A DOGE kid gets beat up in DC and it’s DefCon1; hundreds of bullets into federal buildings with officer killed in Atlanta and it’s crickets; violent mob attacks Capitol wounding dozens of officers and it’s pardons for all.

Tom Cotton's home state, Arkansas, has Little Rock. Little Rock is the United States' 4th most violent city. It has a *much* higher crime rate than Washington, D.C. This is just the white supremacy talking.

LEFT: Where our government incarcerates a person who has a tattoo in honor of a family member. RIGHT: Where our government incarcerates a person who has facilitated and/or engaged in the sexual assault of over a thousand children.

DEI programs are bad except when they can be used to hire ICE agents. Student loan forgiveness is illegal except when it can be given to ICE agents

The new Director of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, John Barron, has revised the jobs numbers for the last three months up from 106,000 jobs to "seventy trillion billion jobs."

Decades of intensive fire control have made forests more vulnerable to severe #wildfires. Controlled burns are a safe and cost-effective way to reduce risk, restore #ecosystems, and build long-term wildfire #resilience. tinyurl.com/5n6y82bz

The United States is now so dysfunctional that it has a GoFundMe to wring more cash out of the working class because it refuses to fairly tax billionaires.

I think about this a lot when writing. There's no permanence on the web and never has been.

Clearly, Mars colonization is wildly unrealistic, but I think what it really represents is a commitment to disposability. As someone on here said, we already have a planet that's perfect except for being 2° too warm, and we can't even terraform that. How can we hope to terraform Mars?

Live your life so you are never remotely fearful of appearing on any list of pedophiles.

Talked to a fellow conference goer visiting San Diego from a red state. He admitted he was surprised by how lovely it was here despite hearing lots of unpleasantness about California from national news media. He felt like he had been lied to. I told him he had. California is complicated. And great.

The thing about the Epstein disgustingness that strikes me hardest is that hundreds of rich old men raped underage girls and the only person currently in jail for that vile behavior is a woman.

#WildfireSmoke is now the main driver of poor #AirQuality in many U.S. states. We need real-time, local, resilient #airpollution monitoring — Clarity’s solar + cellular sensors stay online when others can’t. @theatlantic.com @zoeschlanger.bsky.social tinyurl.com/smoke-epidemic
