My sincere wish this holiday season is that when this rabid administration is finally brought to justice they are all - all - forced to wear shock collars while awaiting their turn at the bench. That every lying utterance and every foul spew is met with a painful zap.

I used to be a fairly nice person. Didn't wish harm on others, didn't grave-dance (all that kind of thing). Rarely used the term hate' unless it was describing hateful behavior by others or cruciferous vegetables. I am not that person anymore. They have killed the angels of my better nature. 🤬

This is a solid small charity that has raised funds to provide a little holiday warmth to over a 1000 folk over the past three years. Help if you can (very cute cards - or you can just donate a little, if that's how you roll).

Glad to read this - because this I understand. It's been common practice for a very long time. Setting up a base on US soil was too bizarre to believe.

Since each house of Congress makes its own rules - and they do that only to their benefit - can the states impose rules on their elected members that would trigger an instant recall election if they don't do their jobs - or switch party once elected or the other nonsense they do?

Remember when Robert Byrd would pull out his pocket copy of the Constitution? He wasn't perfect, but he certainly understood his professional relationship to that founding document. I could go for some Constitutional "Red Card" action right now.

Today I checked the status of Capt. Wayne C. Irsch, the USAF officer whose MIA wristband I wore daily for over 25 years and still look at every day. His plane, piloted by Col. Norman M. Green, crashed in Laos in Jan 1968. Capt. Irsch is still listed as Unaccounted. You are remembered.

I regularly boggle at Trump's insane screeds - but this one is terrifying. I'm with Mr. Elias all the way. We cannot play tit-for-tat. We have to snuff out this wildfire consuming our democracy.

Speaking as an old crone - I am so sick of these frowsy MAGA females with the beachy waves and evening make-up pretending they know ANYTHING. Even the few with some modicum of education. The administration is churning them out of some factory somewhere.

Over 100 million Americans live with medical debt—disproportionately affecting people of color and low-income families. Medicare for All ends surprise bills and medical bankruptcies, letting families focus on healing, not collections. #DebtFreeHealthcare #HealthJustice #MedicareForAll

Congrats to the nominal opposition for being to the right of *Bill Kristol* on Trump assualting DC

Great ad - and Mr. Turek looks like a great candidate to toss Ernst out of office. Do it, Iowa!!

usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”

Gobsmacked. Written by one of the Fed Soc's pet law professors . . . Luring Congress with sweetheart deals to pass an up/down vote on multiple projects (this would work, unfortunately). Exemption from existing regulations, including lowering required wages for workers. Ick.

Sing it, Cathy!

Go, Alex.

The EHRC – the body which is meant to protect our human rights – is proposing guidance which would turn the Equality Act into a bathroom ban. If this becomes law, it would force trans people out of public life. And terrifyingly - this is all happening behind closed doors 🧵

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

I subscribed to the SSA newsletter a few years ago to stay on top of changes. Just unsubscribed. Geezus - the BS in this bit of commentary made me gag.

This is beyond cruel, especially for young folks who are going through it. Cutting off LGBTQ+ youth from specialized suicide prevention help is a death sentence disguised as bureaucracy. Shame on every official who signed off on this. You’re not protecting children, you’re abandoning them.

What if people stopped referring to AI 'hallucinations' and started calling it what it is - outright fabrication, lies, complete BS? Perhaps we could then admit that this is flawed technology stealing our human output and leading us all down a merry road to hell whether we want to go or not.

Senate better man up right now.

Happy to repost this !

*silent shrieking and gnashing of teeth*

Check out Bibi's stuff!

Just informed that the USPS will deliver potatoes and coconuts unpackaged - take it in, they'll weigh, stamp, and send as is. How about we all send a single nice Russet (because the USPS shouldn't have to handle spoiled ones) to Congress everyday or a coconut to the WH? Postage helps USPS.

Definitely worth perusing this website in depth (read the papers along with looking at the graphs!) They make very good arguments that might sway a Dem politician - the thugs on the other side will counter with the standard 'the poors don't need refrigerators...' www.lisep.org

Medicare for All would: - End uninsurance by guaranteeing everyone access to health care - Remove employment, age & marital status as barriers to healthcare - Save money for Americans by eliminating insurance premiums & deductibles The time for health care reform is NOW.

I stand with this man.

damn

Not to be Debbie Downer, but isn't it a wee bit unrealistic to think that an administration that has a hand-picked Congress, ignores the federal courts (including SCOTUS), and is shredding the Constitution is going to give a rat's ass how people vote in the midterms? 🤷‍♀️

JFHC. Make it stop. Where do they keep finding these disgusting excuses for humanity?

Congratulations, Canada!

Please contact your legislators!

The Medicare for All Act launches next Tuesday, April 29! This crucial legislation would make all medically necessary care—including prescription drugs—FREE at the point of service. Urge your legislators to support this bill: pnhp.salsalabs.org/MedicareforA...

"Emergency"? A 3-year 'emergency'?

I like this guy.

30,000,000 Bluesky accounts. Every one of us should be flying the Ukrainian flag. It’s a modest but visible act of support, as well as resistance. Please join me and repost.

Sure. Why not?

So many nasty things under the rocks - all coming to light now. :(
