Imagine how much money governments could really spend on their people if we didn't have power-hungry, tyrannical leaders threatening or waging war at every turn. ~~~ "War is a racket." - Smedley Butler

Okay but hear me out: A library crawl.

Who agrees this needs to go viral? Justice, accountability, and democratic rights should never depend on who is in government. Watch. Share. Let the conversation reach everyone. #FreeDC #Justice

Everyone that has had their name redacted from the Epstein Files should have their freedom eliminated, as well. Prosecute the files.

An "Object at Rest" is an animated cartoon by Seth Boyden. He says, the cartoon "follows the life of a stone as it travels over the course of millennia, facing nature's greatest obstacle: human civilization." It was his final thesis film at CalArts. Well done, Seth! I feel bad for the rock though.

As public school teachers struggle with donated supplies, in Arizona, the school voucher system has become a billion dollar cash-in for fraud, expensive nighties, trips to disneyland, and no public oversight youtu.be/JpmIaajDfcM

Send these fuckers packing in November.

I saw this cloud from my house on Friday and it was such a distinctive blue color that I raced over to the river to get a good shot of it

They put a German Shepherd in charge of babysitting a group of Doberman puppies. I love how he just lays down, rolls over, gets dog piled, and then does it again… I could watch this shit all day. If you can too, drop a follow to my account

I don't know, I'm really starting to get the feeling like he's making shit up as he goes...

On the 250th anniversary of American independence, Donald Trump spent 90 minutes on the phone with Vladimir Putin. It was their fourth call this year. Putin congratulated Trump on the holiday and noted Russia's contribution to American statehood. No word on what the Founders would say.

You’d think it’s strange they’re admitting this. MAGAts will blow it off as a liberal fake account. But no liberal would spend their time posting the vitriol of this MAGAt. All to piss off people… and to lose this health care. They’re that stupid.

RESPECT Every politician should be doing this. Mayor Coffman has spent every Friday night since February sleeping at Aurora, Colorado’s homeless center, serving breakfast in the morning, and learning firsthand what works and what doesn’t.

If we must (for now) have these data centers around, why don't they cover the roofs with solar panels, to allay some of the energy use within? Lot of these things are in hot sunny places like AZ too.

I mean, they made up a “Peace Prize” for the One Special Boy & held World Cups in Putin’s Russia, after he illegally occupied Crimea, & in stadiums built with slave labor in Qatar, & they seem to have rigged the entire draw to get Messi to the final, so what did anyone expect?

Got a part-time job at my favorite bookstore. 😎

Mark my words, there won’t be much left of the White House once the criminal is done with it because for him it’s not about renovation or updating, it’s about revenge. I hate him and those who chose this.

Layoffs are a failure of leadership.

Deluzio: I introduced this Let Kids Play Act with Senator Murphy and some others to get private equity and vulture investors out of youth sports. Let’s start with the problem: they have turned youth sports into a luxury item. They’ve jacked up the cost for families.

Good Monday morning, friends!! Today's giggle is brought to us by the Weather Machine. 🌥🌧⛈️❄️ You know the machine Dems be using to mess up donsnorleones nazi speeches.🤭🤭 Have a day, y'all!! #SheShed #ViVaHerAlliance

Trump on ordering new helicopters: "Other presidents wouldn't do that because they think it's not good to make a change to luxury, but you gotta do it"

Tacoma’s ICE concentration camp can hold 1,575 people, usually runs at about 90% full, and makes money by keeping the cages occupied. That is what a for-profit camp does: keep people trapped, keep the beds full, keep the money moving. americansagainstice.org⁠/subscribe

These all sound like excellent ideas.

The red card against Balogun was a bad call, but given the apparently corrupt circumstances under which it was suspended, the only ethical choice is for Balogun to voluntarily sit the match out. If he plays there will always be an asterisk not only on his performance, but on that of the whole team's
