Trump isn't building a ballroom; he's building a military-grade, underground bunker big enough for his chosen few to be safe in.

(taps mic) James Bond is a Cold War anachronism that, through careful stewardship and a refusal to oversaturate the market, has managed to survive nearly four decades past the fall of the Soviet Union. Amazon under Jeff "Rings of Power" Bezos will absolutely mess this up.

The world’s fastest-growing developed economy? Not a country. California. Nearly 40% growth since 2019, outpacing China, Germany, and the U.S. overall.

"Democratic governors and state legislators need to realize that this is no longer about fairness; it’s about fighting back so that they are not engineered out of the House forever. And I get that Dems don’t have the stomach for this kind of warfare--- find it."

This is terrifying!

It's almost as if none of them are taking this seriously either.

Katie Porter is like Elizabeth Warren: smart, does her homework, sticks to her principles. Has a clear vision and will work hard for Californians. She deserves to be our next Governor. (The Elizabeth Warren comparison is because I recently moved back to California from Massachusetts.)

Wordle 1,748 2/6 🟩⬜🟨⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Wordle has apparently been keeping track of my stats, and I solve it in two moves fewer than 2% of the times I've played. I suppose that's why it's so much fun when it happens.

I think staffing airport screening stations with incompetent, anti-social vigilantes who murder strangers isn’t ideal.

Is the world really going to have to burn because the USA can't impeach a president?

Nice place for a picnic! The sky was really that blue. Looking across the Golden Gate strait. GG bridge in the distance. Last Sunday, Land's End, San Francisco.

I've read accusations that Donald J. Trump is a pedophile from thousands of people. Odd, how the notoriously litigious Trump hasn't filed even *one* lawsuit for defamation. It's almost as if a lawyer told him that truth is an absolute defense in defamation cases . . .

As we sink into the mire of another war, RIP "Country" Joe McDonald. His "I Feel Like I'm Fixin' to Die" rag seems appropriate for today, when the headlines say they want to reinstitute the draft. m.youtube.com/watch?v=3W7-...

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M, to detain 4k people of whom only 30 were accused of violent crimes. $9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst". Plus two citizens murdered. ~ Veterans for Peace

Please research Kessler Syndrome & visit the FCC public comments to voice your disapproval. Space is infinite but the area surrounding earth is very finite.

Skydance, parent co of Paramount & CBS, complied in advance. FCC chair, Brendan Carr is flexing so CBS barred Colbert from airing his interview with TX Senate candidate, Rep. James Talarico Therefore, don't share this link of the Colbert interview with @jamestalarico.bsky.social It'll make Carr mad

American workers just took home their smallest share of the nation's wealth since 1947 — even as corporate profits soar. Why? This chart has the answer.

Jeff Bezos’s wealth has increased an average of $70 million every day of 2026, meaning that he could have offset The Post’s losses with what he’s made since Monday.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

Somewhere in America there is a little girl hiding in an attic writing in her diary about ICE.

You can tell things are going well in America because accounts with names like MovieTVFunZone are posting things like, "THE PIGS ARE KIDNAPPING CHILDREN AND PRIESTS. THE TREE OF LIBERTY DEMANDS TO BE WATERED"

The Fourth Amendment to the US Constitution states, “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation..."

It is my opinion that sworm military at this point has a positive duty to arrest this "president" for his many crimes. I am not expecting any to honor their oath.

*Sigh* Why won't they let Agatha Christie rest in peace? An excellent, FAITHFUL adaptation of "The Seven Dials" was filmed in 1981. The new one is so annoying! There is absolutely no reason for the plot and character changes. *sigh*

Never forget.

It’s genuinely wild that the United States spent decades building an elaborate rules-based international order which de facto cemented its permanent status as the dominant global hegemon, sustained by ideology rather than might, and now is just blowing it all up for literally no reason

It’s time for the world to Boycott, Divest and Sanction the U.S Avoid the Olympics, World Cup and other sporting events. There’s no reason to celebrate the 250 birthday of this fallen nation
