Successfully dissociated from the garbage of living in the USA with a functional brain….at least for a few hours.

‘No Reason He Should Have Died’: Alex Pretti’s Parents Open Up www.nytimes.com/2026/02/10/u...

Republicans are involved in a smash and grab robbery right in front of our eyes. The dumbest among us, aka MAGA, will be declaring this a GOOD thing tomorrow. www.propublica.org/article/todd...

While lots of things suck, I did take my best photos of a bald eagle today along Tomichi Creek in Colorado today.

As you encounter Trump regime defenses of summarily executing a man on the streets of America because he was (supposedly) armed, I invite you to recall the Bundy Ranch standoff, and the Right’s celebration of a man who aimed a rifle at law enforcement. www.findinggravity.net/the-next-tim...

Minneapolis protester as he's being brutalized by feds: "You're gonna have to kill me! You're gonna have to kill me! I've done nothing wrong! My name is Matthew James! I'm a US citizen! You're gonna kill me! Is that what you want?" (You can hear his wife screaming)

Very minor in current apocalypse, but I find it so telling that people (and lawmakers) increasingly refuse to acknowledge that e-bikes and electric motorcycles are different things.

SCOTUS has been completely corrupt for the vast majority of my life…and I’m 52 yrs old. There are no checks, and no balances.

Fight and help win a world war. Establish a global order that cements your national power for 80 years. Blow it all up. What am I missing?

"It's unprecedented that we have the federal gov't that's already determined exactly what's happened here and the motives of an individual that we don't even know the name, they don't even know the name." MN Gov. Walz speaks at a press conference after a woman was fatally shot by ICE in Minneapolis

Trump replaced one Venezuelan dictator with two: himself and Maduro's top lackey. Then he declared that Venezuela's opposition—which represents a majority of the people—is irrelevant, and added that he'll be ruling Venezuela and stealing its oil. Anyone celebrating is delusional.

If prosecuting narco terrorists is a high priority then why did President Trump pardon the former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez who was convicted and sentenced for 45 years for trafficking hundreds of tons of cocaine into America?…Make it make sense please. It’s about the oil&minerals

“In short, the atomic ensemble time scale at our Boulder campus has failed due to a prolonged utility power outage. One impact is that the Boulder Internet Time Services no longer have an accurate time reference.” groups.google.com/a/list.nist....

Bears repeating that one of Russia’s first major social media influence campaigns in the US promoted antivax views. Why? For it’s a way to do clear material harm to the country. And here we are.

NREL has produced 1000 patents and 50,000 publications and billions of dollars in economic benefit and the people in charge probably want to kill it

Dear Establishment Democratic Party (including the 88 fascists), Fuck every single one of you. This country is being driven into the grave by crass opportunists like you. And a special Fuck You to every single Republican for obvious reasons. A reckoning can not come fast enough.

Impeach the traitor to OUR country before it’s too late.

As someone who grew up in PA and cast several ballots in PA before moving away, this guy is one of the biggest backstabbers to the Democratic party that I’ve seen.

“Justice” department…more like Just ICE…

Lola Lulu Flower Fifteen years, three months & two days was not enough time to spend with the sweetest girl in the world. Our pets are our family & create the rhythm of our lives : quiet morning companionship, consistent meal times, daily walks & time just sitting together quietly in contentment. 💔

“Breaking news coming to live from the ESPN FANDUEL studio brought to you by draft kings: Terry Rozier and Chauncey Billups have been arrested for illegally gambling. More at 10. Use code BETNOW for $10 dollars off your next parlay”

Maybe everyone should ensure that their federal tax withholding = $0 now. The USA government is not doing anything that the vast majority of Americans support, agree with or accept.. And when we they do startup again in the future (???), I have zero interest in funding this fascist regime anyhow.

When I’m not fighting for the protection of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, I try to help fast people go even faster. Here’s a look at my work with Chelsea Sodaro in her prep for the 2025 Ironman World Championships in Kona this coming Saturday: www.trainingpeaks.com/blog/chelsea...

One person moving in a multi-ton metal box gets $9,000, and one person moving on an efficient micromobility device gets $225. Electric cars do not solve for congestion, storage, sedentary lifestyle, injury/death due to crashes. The battery in ONE gaint electric SUV could power hundreds of e-bikes.

When do full scale general strikes begin to shut down the entire USA? WE the people are MORE powerful than any and ALL politicians. There is no USA government without US.

Goebbles or Miller?

As an adult, I now believe in the Supreme Court of the United States exactly as much as I believe in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny.

I believe in the not too distant future of an Accountability & Consequences commission that holds all of the fascists & traitors to American democracy to fair trials and judgements for the crimes they commit. And yes, including the fascist & traitorous billionaires who believe they’re untouchable.

Are the folks who have threatened Disney going to be prosecuted for their terroristic threats?

The selective outrage by right wing folks is pathetic AND dangerous.

Every leader in America who has not, and is not, taking concrete action - not just saying words - to reduce gun violence is contributing to all gun violence & deaths. Of course it's generations of failed leadership that have gotten us to this point. But current leaders MUST LEAD NOW!

Breaking: Missouri House passes new gerrymandered US House map giving GOP 90% of seats in state Trump won with 58% of vote. Destroys district held by Black Rep Emanuel Cleaver, one of 2 Dems in state Texas was just start of Trump’s sweeping plan to rig midterms www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

"Harvard can't use race as a factor in admissions, but ICE can use race as a factor in detentions" is a retrenchment essentially to a pre-Civil War understanding of the Constitution. It's vanishingly few steps removed from "Latinos have no rights which the white man is bound to respect."

“Florida is the first state to take the courageous step toward decluttering itself of excess children, but under the inexpert guidance of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., other states may follow.” www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

here’s a version where the POV is blacked out whenever the driver takes their eyes off the road

“Kennedy would be less hazardous if he decided to do cardiac surgery. Then he would kill people only one at a time rather than his current ability to kill by the thousands. Why is it that killing a single person is seen as murder but killing masses is excused if you are a politician?” Dr Bill Foege

Repost if you support my legislation with @aoc.bsky.social to ban Members of Congress from becoming lobbyists.

If I cared to listen to anything that a convicted criminal and known perjurer said then I would also care to listen to whatever the convicted felon in the White House says. But I’m not stupid like the American media wants me to be. And I’m not in a cult like a hundred million Americans are.

You know what would help end homelessness? Taxing billionaires at the same rates that regular Americans pay. #taxtherich

AI/video detection of my bagging skills at the grocery store sure wastes a lot of my time requiring the clerk to attend to me multiple times during my checkouts. Thanks for nothing AI 👎🏼👎🏼

Serious question - how are empathetic, educated individuals supposed to go about daily life without becoming enraged by the daily occurrences of criminality, cruelty and insanity being perpetrated by the current regime and every Republican controlled local, state & federal government office?

The pedestrian survival rate when hit at 40 MPH is only 15%. We've got a cultural problem that needs fixing, because… ✅ Driving 40 MPH on city streets is considered to be acceptable. ❌ Punishing people for driving 40 MPH on city streets is considered to be unacceptable.

Great work, John Roberts. You’ve played a key role in wrecking our beloved country.
