President Donald Trump launched his latest attack on voting last night when he ousted the three remaining commissioners of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

You know who Trump physically reminds me of in this closeup? Boris Yeltsin. Cropped from a photo by Evan Vucci (Associated Press) of Trump in the Oval Office, alongside FIFA president and Trump taint-licker Gianni Infantino, when Infantino presented Trump with a ceremonial red card.

Fucking hell. We're going to get Half-Life 3, GTA 7, and true VR glasses before we are told the truth about Bitch McTurtle.

Talked to Mitch McConnell tonight for about twenty minutes.

Who's taking bets on how long it takes for Slump's Qatari bribe-plane to get covered in algae?

The SAVE Act Is the STOP Act—It Stops Women from Voting. The SAVE Act disenfranchises millions, as many as 69 million women, by requiring Americans to produce a passport or birth certificate that matches their current legal name to register to vote. now.org/media-center...

I don't know or understand the first thing about organized sports, but goddamn it. Fuckin' go Knicks, you NBA champs, you!

Well, that was a squeaker at the very end. There's going to be some serious play evaluations and checking of lucky drawers on the way to San Antonio. Let's fucking go, Knicks!

🎂 46 trips around the sun today. Here's hoping for a few decades more!

I'm currently into early season 4 of Game of Thrones. Very dense with a ton of characters. I should have read the novel of the same title first. This show is fucking WILD.

I'm new to tarot & severely visually impaired. I wish there were large-print booklets explaining the cards & their meanings in a basic tarot deck. Seeing the artwork is difficult enough, but trying to read about the cards from any included booklet (often sized for the card box) is nearly impossible.

We should start referring to Ka$h Patel, in his current position, as "J. Edgar Boozer".

All you right-wing bitches who got all whiny and pissy when everyday gas prices reached five dollars per gallon in most states in 2022, and screamed that it was all Biden's fault are curiously quiet as gas has now reached four dollars per gallon in less than 45 days. Do you blame your pumpkin god?

This seems as good a time as any to watch this MadTV sketch: youtu.be/MgSQA1jqFpM?...

The exact same election rules are now in place when Republicans won the presidency, house and senate in 2024. But now suddenly Republicans are unable to win another election without the SAVE Act because everyone has been cheating. Makes sense.

So, here we are. Getting dragged into yet another war in the Middle East because a Republican president can't handle the job. How long will it last this time? A year? Five? Ten? How many lives among ours and our remaining allies will be lost? Are we great ... yet?

I'm listening to RATM's "Evil Empire" album as my cat has the wildest goddamn pre-dawn zoomies throughout the apartment.

The sheer amount of MAGA who are absolutely crashing out and melting down because Bad Bunny is singing his Super Bowl halftime performance in Spanish and waving the Puerto Rican flag is *chef's kiss*. Puerto Rico is an American territory, you utter dumbasses.

Either Doofy or Gail Hailstorm (or both) should be Ghostface.

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

I want to learn to knit, but I don't know where to start. I realize there's oodles and oodles of YouTube tutorials available for the actual crafting process. Where do I get supplies? Are there beginner-friendly kits? Patterns? JoAnn Fabrics is dead and buried. What now?

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

Well, you know what they say: "When in Rome, do as the Snamor do."

We need to start carrying canisters of that really stinky fart spray for when we encounter any ICE "agent" or anyone else pretending to be law enforcement. Just make sure you're upwind.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Renee Nicole Good was murdered by ICE. She wasn’t just killed, she was murdered. The right was already trying to vilify her before we even knew her name. But I’m just going to say it… They’re going to have a much harder time doing that this time. She’s not Brown. She’s not Black. She’s white.

Congratulations to New York City's newest mayor. Zohran Mamdani! He's got the hardest job in New York state, overseeing the City That Never Sleeps making sure the path forward for the city is clear & true. I wish him all the best in his term & may he succeed in removing the tarnish of Mayor Adams.

For the Epstein files currently available on the DOJ website, they demonstrate colossal stupidity! If you highlight the black-box redactions, you can copy-paste into a text doc (Word, etc) and read exactly what DOJ tried to redact. It's all there. Search "Trump " (with the space) & get 600 mentions.

The CBS 60 Minutes Doc confirms what we knew: The U.S. is currently using our tax dollars to imprison brown people with no criminal record in torture camps overseas. It’s no wonder administration shill Bari Weiss pulled this off the air: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjY7...

BREAKING: WATCH the full 60 Minutes CECOT segment here. This was sent to me anonymously. It appears to be the segment CBS' Bari Weiss killed. www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

The shooter of the the National Guard in DC was granted asylum in April of this year. Refresh my recollection: Who was president in April of this year? Was it Joe Biden? No, I didn't think so . . . And why was the National Guard unnecessarily there at all? Was it Joe Biden? No, I didn't think so.

Task failed successfully: Democratic Edition

Of the eight Dems who voted tonight to capitulate to the Republicans' tantrums, those who are up for reelection in 2026 and 2028 should be ruthlessly primaried.

Almost done watching Clive Barker's "Nightbreed". Y'all, this movie is fucking WILD.

I hope all you third-party Jill Stein voters, "Mickey Mouse" write-in dullards, and never-bother-to-vote couch potatoes enjoy getting dry-fucked by the catastrophe you helped create. Way to go, you goddamned dunces. This is partly your fault.

This is officially one of the strangest pictures in American history, and I do not doubt that it will be considered iconic a hundred years from now. 100% serious here.

I'm glad to see that Nancy Pelosi will not be seeking reelection, and will be retiring from Congress when this term is up. It's far beyond time to clear out the Congressional gerontocracy.

Congratulations to all the winners of the various special elections that took place yesterday. And congratulations to the citizens of California for voting yes on Proposition 50.

I just heard someone refer to Metamucillini as Predator of the Under-Sixteens (POTUS). Oh, the scream I scrumpt.

GOP all year: “we will never negotiate with Democrats we own the whole government suck it!!” GOP TODAY: “Gosh golly if they would just bail us out we’d be happy to negotiate why are they so unreasonable?” Dems: “uh, here in dc to negotiate..” GOP:

In the past month, a serial child rapist has murdered 100 people in the Caribbean, destroyed the East Wing of the White House, neutralized our Congress, & stolen food from 20% of American children. We pay him, house him, drive him, fly him, and pay for his bodyguards. Call your reps 202-224-3121

FACTS about SNAP: -35% to white people (largest share) -90% to people born in 🇺🇸 -86% to households with kids -70% work full time but aren’t paid a living wage (aka corporate welfare)

Rep. Clay Higgins of Louisiana blames SNAP recipients for not stockpiling a month's worth of food. He ends his tweet with "stop smoking crack."

Everything in this official USDA post is a lie This contradicts what the USDA had on its OWN website - that it would use contingency funds to keep feeding people Dems are NOT asking for health insurance for undocumented immigrants The shutdown has NOTHING to do with “gender mutilation procedures”
