Edgar Allen Poe married a 13 year old when he was 27 and her mother and she would have impromptu concerts upstairs in their Richmond house while Edgar was downstairs writing stories about burying his wife after pulling out her teeth if you want to know why the South is so weird.

Let's go Virginia voters! Show the MAGA Trump court in Virginia how you deal with them robbing you of your redistricting referendum 52% to 48% victory. Vote to boot all the Trump butt kissing Congressman out of office in November 2026!

Republicans petitioned the Virginia Supreme Court to rule on the legality months before the election started. The court waited to issue a ruling until they saw the results. This is a clear warning to us that the regime will simply nullify any election results they don't like in 2026 1nd 2028.

The Bureau of Land Management just issued a final decision evicting several hundred bison owned by American Prairie from their federal grazing lands in northern Montana.

Hello! My analysis of Mason & Dixon, Part 2, Chapter 59 is up. The story of Tom Hynes and Catherine Wheat. gravitysrainbow.substack.com/p/part-2-cha...

virginia voters should call their delegates and senators and demand that they ignore this illegitimate ruling

They should use it anyway and Spanberger should have the Virginia Supreme Court rounded up.

Please enjoy my cartoon for Tuesday's Toronto Star

The Supreme Court blatantly exceeds its constitutional authority and undermines its legitimacy when it acts like a super legislature rewriting laws it doesn’t like.

There it is. Any questions?

When the cartoon replaces all the words ...

Again - the Roberts #SCOTUS is the Hormuz problem for Democrats or anyone concerned about democracy in U.S. It doesn’t matter what agenda Dems have, they’d be negligent if they don’t plan to act on an all out push to reform, rebalance (expand) to rein in the MAGA Court when they get back in power.

🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Rep. Pat Ryan just revealed that Pete Hegseth ordered military members to an area in Kuwait with an ACTIVE WARNING they had ZERO defense against drone attacks and he IGNORED IT. Six were then KILLED. Survivors blame Hegseth. This is even WORSE than Benghazi.

New Yorker cartoon re: coorespondance dinner threat from prez not shooter.

The amount of misinformation we’re getting about an incident that just occurred in front of 1,500 news reporters is truly the metaphor of our generation.

Please don’t reschedule the WH correspondents’ dinner. Enough is enough.

Rotten Tomatoes just posted a shrug emoji. 🍅🤷‍♂️

And now for another Presidential update. #Cdnpoli #Uspoli

Viewers might be surprised by the number of Shakespearean elements in the miniseries which fictionalizes the doomed relationship between John F. Kennedy, Jr. and his wife Carolyn Bessette. @austintichenor.bsky.social explains on the blog: www.folger.edu/blogs/shakes...

The US is more vulnerable than at any other time. We have an unstable president who relies on his unqualified cabinet. He sent his son in law & another real estate guy to negotiate an end to the war he started. We're running out of weapons. This is the most vulnerable America has ever been

Is this why we went to WAR??? #Iran #Epstein #EpsteinFiles

Governor Tim Walz — "We are sick of this. A weak, reckless, Idiotic president just threw us into a war nobody asked for. No threat existed. No objectives were set. No exit plan exists. This is pure fascism." #cdnpoli

John Roberts' wife is not the only Supreme Court spouse to shake down people with business before the court to give bribes. Ginni Thomas has a "consulting firm" (AKA a PO Box for checks) to funnel money to Clarence. #Corruption

Someone stop this lunatic!! Jimmy Dore @jimmy_dore According to retired CIA analyst Larry Johnson: During an emergency meeting On Saturday Trump tried to “use the nuclear codes” on Iran and he was stopped by General Dan Caine.

A great accomplishment resulting from people who actually care about confronting the epidemic of gun violence and the people like Alex Jones who lie about it to make money. Well done, @bencollins.bsky.social.

25th Amendment NOW!

If journalists had any integrity and courage, they would boycott the White House Correspondents Dinner. It should be as empty as a TPUSA event.

Who agrees?

People talking about JD being excommunicated have clearly forgotten about canon 1373: "A person who publicly incites his or her subjects to hatred or animosity against the Apostolic See ... or who provokes the subjects to disobedience against them, is to be punished by interdict ..."

A 🎁 article The stated mission of the United Daughters of the Confederacy was to honor veterans, but its true purpose was to promote white supremacy, Christian nationalism, and the Big Lie of the “Lost Cause” ideology, ie, that the US Civil War was about “states rights”, not slavery

Folks, there are multiple ways to respond to this news. One is to brand the entire GOP as the pro-terrorism party. And hard.

Sure, but this means the entire GOP owns it. Literally, this SHOULD be incredibly easy to turn into a midterm issue. And this is why it's important to note that these people were not JUST convicted of sedition, but also some or most were adjudged as terrorists. They're terrorist sympathizers.

On the day of reckoning: Confiscate all their assets and send them to Alligator Alcatraz to wait for their trial at the Nuremberg Tribunal Trials 2.0 - absolutely no mercy!

Magyar calls on the figurehead head of state Tamás Sulyok, as well as all high justice officials and other high officials appointed by Fidesz to resign immediately or they will be removed by the new government. He also announces a constitutional reform and that Hungary is joining EPPO.

Good day for Europe Good day for NATO Good day for democracy Good day for the rule of law Good day for a free press Good day for the Hungarian people Good day for We The People! Bad day for Orban, Trump, Vance & Putin. Corruption shouldn't be a governing strategy. Lots of lessons here 🇪🇺 👀!

why were Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, and the repulsive Couchfuck McGee put in charge of "negotiating" peace with Iran? was it because Donny *wanted* the talks to fail? thank you for your attention to today's tremendous post in which I attempt to answer this question. link is here: bit.ly/4svwpyL
