Well, having a war with China was not on my bingo card for 2026. It probably should have been.

I'm going to bed. I'm not sure if the world will be here tomorrow, but that is the way things go.

I keep getting messages in Urdu. I don't speak Urdu.

If the world, as we know, ends this week. I want my friends to know that I love them.

Once Trump nukes Teheran, what happens? I feel we are living in the Chinese curse. "May you live in interesting times."

I went onto the cesspool that is "X" to see what they had about No Kings Day. I didn't scroll down too far, but every post claimed that the protestors were all paid.

Will I see you at a #NoKings rally? ☮️ We MUST #resist fascism as he destroys our government.

I'm wondering about Trump's obsession with Florsheim shoes. What's up? Now, I have nothing against Florsheim's and I've probably bought five or six pairs over the years. They are one of the few shoes that are worth resoling, and I know I kept one pair for about 20 years.

I found this on Instagram. I almost wanted to cry to think of all those housed in similar warehouses by ICE in inhumane conditions. We can do so much better as a country, but right now it has to be done on the state and local level.

Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:

Damn, missed it!

DO YOU WANT TO BE ON THE SUPREME COURT?

Watching the magats on X twisting themselves into pretzels in order to say that Trump's tariff loss was really a win gives me joy this morning.

Welcome to the Plutocracy

Listen & LEARN. #EpsteinFiles

I went onto X and asked if anyone thought Stephen Miller was a nihilist. No one seemed to understand the word.

Now that I occasionally dip into X, I made a little picture in firefly and photoshop. Feel free to use it if you want.

The official posture of 2026: reclined acceptance - I stopped fighting reality and upgraded my lumbar support.

The delay from SCOTUS on tariffs makes sense. The conservative justices are trying to solve a three-body problem: give Trump kingly powers, keep corporations safe from tariffs, and make sure no Democrat ever gets to use the same toys.

I promised myself I wouldn't spend today watching bad people deconstruct society for profit. This whole immigration issue is: making money off of misery, from hunting, holding, storing and deporting immigrants, a profit engine worth HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS. See: #ICE #PrisonIndustrialComplex #FOXNews

Republicans went from fear mongering about the "government" turning into a police state, banning words and taking guns to "stay in your homes if you don't want to get shot". They don't give a single shit about the Constitution as long as THEY are the ones doing the oppression. #MeganKelly

Getting some tats was on my bucket list (I'm 73). Now I've got "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men [and women] are created equal..." on one arm and "We The People Means Everyone" on the other. Next up, a little something I created in Adobe Firefly.

Another AI generated tattoo I like.

I was fooling around on adobe firefly having it make anti-ICE tattoos. This is the one I liked the best.

If Barack Obama can inspire this much global cooperation, we need to make him president of the world for life.

Such A Wise Grandma.......

Greg Bovino is just like an abusive priest. They simply transferred him to a different parish.

So the Republican party sold out every value it ever claimed to believe in because they wanna stay in power forever

You can tell the right-wingers have lost the argument when they start calling anyone they disagree with a commie.

Certainly appears moms with whistles won the Battle of Minneapolis.

Bill Clinton threw the phrase "We The People" back at Trump and MAGA.

Bill Clinton: “Over the course of a lifetime, we face only a few moments where the decisions we make and the actions we take will shape our history for years to come. This is one of them. If we give our freedoms away after 250 years, we might never get them back."

Republican politicians are all riding the tiger, some see no choice except staying put. Others want to get off, but are scared shitless of the consequences.

One unanswered question. Where was the person ICE was supposedly looking for? He certainly wasn't out on the street.

The MAGA excuse is that they only have milliseconds to react, so the shooting is justified. The Minneapolis chief of police noted that his officers disarmed over 900 individuals last year, and didn't have to shoot any of them.

On May 4, 1970, I watched the Kent State shootings on tv. My mother said that the students deserved what they got. I was shocked that my kind, loving, mother could be so callous, and I was so glad that I would be going away to college in the fall. Here we are again. It's now us versus them.

It was never about removing X amount of people. It was always about terror and intimidation.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

The MAGAts on X keep saying that Mr. Pretti died protecting murderers and pedophiles. According to Noem the ICE agents were looking for Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis, from Venezuela, who had been convicted for driving without a license .

I went over to X, Jebus, the MAGAts are twisting themselves into knots trying to justify the murder. The I need guns to protect myself against tyrannical government types are really into "he shouldn't have carried a gun."

How is it that ICE claims that it was actually looking for some awful criminal when it violates peoples civil rights.

One small point, Mr. Pretti was pepper sprayed in the face before he was forced to the ground, so he was almost certainly blinded at the time he was shot.

Since it is now clear that Mr. Pretti was unarmed when he was shot, the MAGAts on X are backpedaling to their secondary position and now say he just couldn't have carried his gun in the first place, so it's still his fault.

I have a dream: Trump flies off to exile in Qatar, leaving everyone else on the runway except for Ivanka, and a stack of unsigned pardons on his desk.

I'm sure the videos of Mr. Prietti are being circulated around the world. In Germany people are thinking, "This is what they taught us in history class."

Trump and Company don't case if people video ICE murdering other people. They want to intimidate the population with Gestapo tactics. I believe they are underestimating the American people.

It is my belief that Stephen Miller gets sexually aroused when he sees a video of ICE murdering people or the military blowing up some fishermen.
