Sean Combs has been found to have committed sexual offenses against women. This makes him eligible to be the GOP's next candidate for president.

Sad but true

Got a tear (or 2 or a million) in my eyes…this is NOT a drill, folks

“A Republic, if You Can Keep It” Ben Franklin

My signs for today: I Prefer my I.C.E. Crushed and, on reverse side, Sweet Land of Liberty? Will post pics when paint’s dry

Omg: I cannot believe a sitting justice felt the need (& had the courage) oto put this out there.

Hey Louisiana, hope you’re not poor, reliant on Medicaid, and get sick. That’d suck even more than before. Huh?

This is called trickle down stupidnomics.

Good heavens, that’s nauseating to watch. An acquaintance of mine is Latino surnamed AND MAGA: maybe I’ll show them this.

That’s where I’ll be in my little bitty city, passing up my annual community picnic, standing alongside a coastal highway, being smoked out by shamed boys driving diesel trucks with bypass switches enabling them to emit uncombusted fuel.

In effect, the Supreme Court ruled that only it could decide issues on a national level. And then, with thousands and thousands of people waiting in limbo for resolution of many legally disputed Trump orders, the justices went on summer vacation, not to return until October.

I did not think there was anything that could make me glad my sober, serious, confident-in-democracy dad was dead. He reassured me through Watergate that all would be well. He would be weeping now.

Truly terrifying

Just want to say I’m giving up my annual community 4th of July picnic/BBQ in favor of the second No Kings protest. If you have draft-age kids or grands, you’re welcome.

This is so fantastic…. Made me laugh… and now I know what to do with that chalk that’s sitting in my desk drawer….

Cmon folks, can’t we do at least as well as reptiles in caring for one another? Really, beat out in our humanity by REPtiles????

This is an evergreen observation. Self-flagellation?

Yes, we sure are. I’ve had brief convos with 3 MAGA or adjacent acquaintances, each of whose ox is being or about to be gored, and been assured by all that “they” surely won’t do THAT…cut SSA or eliminate disability payments or stop funding non-profits that offset high drug costs for seniors. Oops.

If you’re terrified your social security check may be reduced or eliminated, also Trump. If Medicare stops covering your treatment, Trump

Guys wanna see my latest rescue? Bochy, in the deck chair, died last summer at 16: ancient for a 100 lb dog. I waited for my knee replacement & my heart to heal, & started looking. This is who showed up. Name’s Ginger, lost her owner to dementia, freaked out by shelter, settling in on day 2.

I dunno, MY junk drawer has much more useful stuff in it than this

I'm attending No Kings's event, “NO KINGS COOS BAY KICK OUT THE CLOWN” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

Huh, Roberts just now noticing that history reports on his workplace, opinions and decisions.

Got a tear or maybe two in my eyes

Your School House Rock moment.....🤔

Oh my: it’s been a long time since I read Steinbeck…gives me the shivers

No kidding. Also, the depth of the soul on the left, and the lack of same on the right.

Wow, had not seen this; but love the poem

And this, right here, tells me I was 100% correct to cancel this rag during the election.

And loved and blessed them all. I can’t help thinking that, if these folks are right about what happens after death, they are going to be facing a very disappointed and angry person of color at judgement day. To the left, people, to the left.

Me, too.

But it’s also the venal, the corrupt, and the vicious. If it were JUST the stupid, it’d be more likely survivable than not.

We are NOT the same.

This is a very, very complex and exceedingly thorough process that involves extensive use of the president’s TiVo remote, so please, please, everyone, give it time www.npr.org/2025/04/21/n...

At a town hall with our US senator (Merkley) and congresswoman (Hoyle) this week. Merkley’s staff says SS recipients are being told we MUST set appts by phone, no walk ins are being served, & multiple audience members reported being on hold for HOURS only to be disconnected. Catastrophe already.

OMG, this is my life, all my friends, everyone I (‘m willing to admit) know.

War hero schools a chickenhawk.

This morning I cancelled every routine Amazon order (27) that I get. I live in a remote town with limited retail: 1.5 hrs to nearest Costco, 2+ to Trader Joe’s. But I won’t put any more money into Bezos’ pockets.

OK, let’s see the best signs that you saw today.

In my town of 16k

One of my few MAGA friends has a very tough life. Spouse disabled by multiple strokes, my friend with severe & worsening neurological ailments, also providing caregiving for spouse. 2nd gen Latino heritage. They just qualified for Meals on Wheels, a real godsend. Until admin defunded it. 🤷‍♂️

Ooooh, I wish I were responsible for this.
