#NoKings - People are pissed and showing up to protest - singing and dancing and cheering

Watching the media, this weekend, giving some pushback to GOP talking points/lies when they involve people other than Trump has me curious whether they will revert to more normal style of reporting on politics when Trump staggers off to his eternal reward or is both sides-ing here to stay??

Late to this series but loving it so far - need the break from the shitshow that’s the United States these days… #booksky #reading

Go Portland!! This is actually the perfect antidote to the narrative that Portland is war torn

When even SCOTUS understand that Epstein is radioactive…. Release the Epstein files!!

So how long do you think it’s going to be before we can yada yada yada trumps speeches…. It’s clear he’s in decline & often in the throes of confabulation - even @hcrichardson.bsky.social says his speeches are simply more of the same …& how about this detail in her daily summary of the news??

Which is why what’s happening in the Media & even with the Roberts court to a lesser extent is so very frustrating- these people are complying in advance (and Roberts almost gleefully so) - it’s disappointing to watch them fall in line but we the people don’t have to copy them - CALL THEM OUT

Didn’t know when I took these pic this morning before my run that we’d be celebrating another is trump dead yet posting fest but here we are… gotta say I’m enjoying it, again Happy Friday

I categorically refused to feel any sympathy or empathy for the MAGA voters who are getting what they voted for - the only reason they are upset is because now they it’s their turn for the pain and suffering and I simply cannot find it in me to give a shit

Exhibit 304068 of how the GOP can’t govern… 8 months in and they’ve crashing the job market

It’s interesting to me that when Donald Trump is president the government keeps shutting down & that is because he is unwilling to compromise. He wants his way or nothing, and that’s not a president - that’s a dictator.

Honest to God, where is the American press on Trumps obvious mental decline??!!! Make no mistake 95% of what we are seeing from Trump is carefully curated by his team, there is so much more we aren’t being allowed to see & it is still painfully obvious, the man is in severe mental decline

Just stopped for my morning iced coffee and there were three different parents that were yelling at their kids in the minute and a half that I was at the Dunkin, people are stressed, and unfortunately It’s the kids that often bear the brunt of it…. Everything feels cranky these days.

Louder for those in the back - GOP has all 3 branches - they OWN this mess…

This is a feature not a bug…. Reality is subject to what tv station you watch

It would be amusing if it wasn’t so pathetic….

Chat what’s the statue of limitations on libel/slander and Arbitrary and Capricious Actions?? (Re Tylenol) *6 years -yeah they can sue their ass off even if they wait 3 more years.

How the media - esp the NYT is not only failing the general public but is actively driving RW narratives and absurdities into the general public sphere -just ridiculous & a gross disservice to journalism

What movie do you consider to be perfect? If you hate Stand By Me well then I hate you @stephenking.bsky.social

Sunday funday - get outside and relax on this last weekend of summer

I’m really hoping that come CBB season some PC Friars fans will interact on here bc I love the #pcbb community on the other place but man shit is toxic over there

The cold comfort I have is that the patterns of history shows that the political party that calls for violence against others always ends up on the receiving end — you reap what you sow

We are watching, right now, the case against Kilmar Abrego Garcia completely fall apart because it was based on absolutely ridiculous lies that the administration fabricated for political reasons. You *cannot* just take anything this govt says at face value. It is reckless and irresponsible.

So like just after we published this, the 4th Circuit held a hearing where a bunch of judges (including famously conservative ones) are just going out and out with "wtf is wrong with the supreme court, why are they doing this nonsense to us?") www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

It’s telling how many of the trolls are rushing to distance themselves from real world actions & consequences related to their online content when bad things happen, but rest assured that they will not censor their content in future postings

The most interesting thing to me personally about the shooting of CharlieKirk is, how many of my social media acquaintances are telling on themselves, making it easy for me to cut those ties..

Under a tent with a banner that invited people to prove him wrong….

Man trumps bubble needs to be hermetically seale because fragile old man cannot tolerate reality

The raid on the Hyundai plant in Georgia is a clear indicator of the power vacuum that exists at the top of the Trump admin – Miller had his own agenda & through ICE was able to make decisions that had international repercussions & there’s nobody to counter him. I fully expect more chaos.

This has a very specific context: That Pam Bondi's DOJ refused to enforce an arrest warrant for Cory Mills after his girlfriend called the cops on him. We should keep repeating that fact: Pam Bondi is letting a powerful white man engage in violence in part bc GOP Majority depends on her doing so

I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that every time I go to the library the only books that grab my attention are the science fiction ones and the murder/stabby ones… #booksky #reading

If you keep them confused you never have to explain the logic…

Anyone know how old you are when you stop getting hiccups?? I know it’s not 52 years old… I’m over here trying not to pull a muscle these hiccups are so violent…. FML

For a president who claims that he ended 6+ wars in eight months, he certainly bombs a lot of shit.. Iran, Somalia/Houthies and now Venezuelan drug cartels, allegedly

I saw Ted Cruz trending and I knew it was going to be bc he’s an asshole … but he really went for the jugular on Pritzker and wow did he miss — what a lazy and unfunny and doesn’t make sense “joke”

I signed the Rep. Massie & @rokhanna.bsky.social discharge petition to force a binding vote - unlike Speaker Johnson's nonbinding resolutions - to require release of the Epstein files. It's up to 205 signatures; it needs 218 to take effect. See who signed here: clerk.house.gov/DischargePet...

Yeah they have burned through any goodwill from the courts - no doubt they will allege that they don’t have the personnel however they can pay ppl to work on a holiday weekend to get these kids on planes to DEPORT THEM

Fuck I hate these people — deporting unaccompanied CHILDREN -10 year olds!!

Timeline cleanse w a peaceful pic End of summer family dinner had this view #iykyk

Wait wait wait -- if the president dies in office and the VP takes over, the Speaker of the House does not just become vice president. The new president nominates a vice president who must then be confirmed by both houses. Please stop talking about Vice President Mike Johnson.

Oh we are just getting started…https://fortune.com/2025/08/28/tsunami-inflation-grocery-prices-tariffs-deportation-trump/

How can we get SCOTUS = Calvin ball trending?? They are not just moving the goalposts they are changing the rules each decision - Roberts is trash

Calvin ball is the perfect analogy for the Roberts court

"It is my duty and moral responsibility to sound the loudest alarm, alerting our nation to this assault on our Democracy. There is no way we could have been successful fighting this on the House floor, so we moved the fight to the national arena." -Trey Martinez Fischer
