Ideologically driven ideology "The most dangerous form of government is theocracy. Because the only thing worse than a tyrant, is a tyrant who thinks they're on a mission from God." - James Talarico on Christian Nationalism www.reddit.com/r/CringeTikT...

@sanders.senate.gov: "No, Speaker Johnson, the #NoKings Rally on October 18th is not a 'hate America' rally. ... It’s a rally of millions of people who believe in American freedom and are not going to allow you and President Trump to turn us into an authoritarian country."

If he actually ends up like Woodrow W., know who’d be running the country? Mrs. Donald, just like Mrs. Woodrow W. did

The BBB passes, stripping healthcare from 10,000,000 people with these three very same turdballs, beaming and laughing and cheering

Several months ago, someone on this platform (who???) suggested having students in class generate course-related memes. Thinking it was a great idea, I did that. And guess what, it was a great idea. Rare to have a course assignment that is fun to evaluate —a bonus for me.

Coffee prices are rising because of climate change and tariffs, not because of carney. Right wingers need to own all of this. Sorry PP, try again.

I believe that Pam Bondi’s law school, Stetson University, is ranked 99 among US law schools.

It’s like Bondi got her law degree out of a crackerjack box. Stetson University. I never even heard of it. It’s not exactly in your Top 10 law schools!

He’s making everyone else in the closet uncomfortable. Especially Mike Johnson.

This is not going well for Pam Bondi

When people are hired, not for their honesty or competency, but for their ability to be snarling trolls on TV for the delight of their immature and unpleasant boss, you get an AG like Pamela Jo Bondi.

In Portland they call this ICE fishing! 😂

The government-issued dirty jeans and sloppy flannel shirts that ICE guys wear sure give them a patina of professionalism

Yup

Hahaha! She really is leaning into the gag!

Chicago priest Father Michael Pfleger: "The state of emergency is in AMERICA, not Chicago. It's birthed from this president and his admin's reign of terror." ( ht: @mikenellis.bsky.social )

FINALLY! The Pope and priests are fighting back against Trump cruelty and fascism! Unlike the silence of the RC church in WWII

Even a broken clock is right twice a day…

New Yorker cartoons nail it again.

The great irony is that Himmler would have sent Miller to the chambers.

SOYBEAN FARMER SOUNDS OFF: Trump’s trade war is crushing farmers. Now Trump is giving $20B to Argentina—the same country taking much of America’s soybean market. Soybeans are the no. 1 cash crop in Tennessee. Via @pulsereportnow on IG

Let her poop at McDonald’s, like the rest of us.

The numbers say H-1Bs raise wages, boost patents, and drive productivity. The story is that H-1Bs aren’t just “workers”—they’re engines of innovation. They're the strivers who crossed the ocean, and brought their fresh new ideas with them.

I like calling him “the Lesser”, but think that “Bobby the Unready” might be a good alternative.

Same guy who declared bankruptcy 6 times shut down the U.S. government 4 times in 5 years of being President. They wanted him to run the government like his businesses and that’s exactly what he’s doing.

Suggestion for journal editors: if a uni accepts the extortionate compact, publications from that uni should carry an asterisk to denote it gets unearned research support.

Rep Clark has called out Mike Johnson on both his lie that dems are seeking to "give free healthcare to non citizens" & for the gop refusing to show up to work as the gop fight to cut programs like medicaid. In Louisiana, 64% of all births & 54% of all children are covered by medicaid. #Pinks
