See? There is a built-in audience for Dog Olympics.

Even if her chances are poor, she should run. At worst, she would pull the primary winner left.

They are such losers. Pecksniffers. Witch-prickers. And they wonder why nobody thinks they are cool.

I've written about this shit a million time but here's a good one: alicublog.blogspot.com/2022/09/frid...

It’s the latest craze that’s sweeping the nation!

Hear me out: dog Olympics.

Musk could fuck up a peanut butter sandwich.

On it goes

And it’s not like they only have one bigoted grievance and delusional fear. How many people/votes are Ds suppose to abandon to get more people/votes?

If dems left Mechahitler en masse reporters would be forced to follow.

What prosecutor goes to a grand jury WITHOUT A STATUTE THEY CLAIM WAS VIOLATED? (Now we know why Pam Bondi's brother wanted to become president of the DC Bar: to protect the lawyers under her watch from getting disbarred for this kind of stuff.)

seeing this shit while donald trump is president is enough to melt my brain

The benefit of not getting cholera or dysentery spoke for itself.

Money isnt the only way to gain power. There is power in numbers and taking action. Power is a verb.

Public officials who don’t support elite impunity are enemies of the elite. AOC is only tolerated as long as the elite think she doesn’t have a chance at real power. However, elite media does not have the same amount of respect and influence that it had before Trump.

I’m going to get me one of those violent crime jobs, now that the babies and children have been deported.

There must be trials. Not as an emotive aspiration, rhetorical meme, or empty threat. A concrete plan. A dedicated special court for it. Structural legislation and prosecutors and funding and all the rest of it. Everything necessary for it can be done constitutionally. All it takes is the will.

It’s my favorite and I memorized it years ago but I can no longer recite every line from memory.

I can’t believe they are that dim. Rich people crushing the masses need security forces.

He should be censored for having the nerve to exist in his present state.

When I look at ancient works of art and craft from Asia, I am awed by their beauty and the skill of their makers. And no matter who created the civilization, we have to right to take credit for the work of others. Merit is not inherited or handed down, it is earned one person at a time.

In 1993 Rev. Jesse Jackson was arrested after blocking 5th Avenue as part of a group protesting the Clinton Administration's policy of maintaining a detention camp for Haitian political refugees. A lifetime of direct action and protest regardless of who was in power. Rest in peace

This is a war on nonwhite children Paxton is declaring, immigrant and those born here. It is fundamentally genocidal declaration apart of the process of genocide they are carrying out, by a regime of inherent and endemic child abuse and murder.

This freak is completely untethered from reality, from a world of consequences, responsibility, and connection to other human beings.

It’s not complicated.

Happy Lunar New Year to all who celebrate🧧 The last Year of the Fire Horse began in '66 & saw anti-war protests & civil rights struggle. It was the year Rev. Jackson left seminary to join Dr. King’s Freedom Movement. May 2026 bring New York the same bold change people deserve.

Why I read Brave New World when I was 13. My English teacher said it would be too advanced for me. At that time I was reading HG Wells, Jules Verne, Asimov, Heinlein, and my favorite, Ray Bradbury.

It happens all the time here because building companies are in tight with Texas politicians. They built housing directly in the path of Barker and Addicks Reservoirs, which floods upstream and releases water when there are flooding events.

People want their faction to retain dominance in the party. People want to steer the party right. People want to have someone to blame for losses other than the leaders. People want to be bullies. The quickest way to squash this might be to say ballots are secret and refuse to discuss the matter.

A spiral fluted porcelain tea cup, coffee can and saucer manufactured during the last quarter of the 18th century at Worcester, decorated in underglaze blue and with gilt oval and berry highlights on the inside rims. I used to collect variations of this pattern, it's somewhat easy to find.

No wonder billionaires love it!

If I made a murderbot that charged people money to have an imaginary or dead loved one while straining the ecosystem and threatening to crash the economy, I would be very surprised if everyone didn’t do everything in their power to stop me. And yet…

wait, what?!

A heated blanket is one of God’s gifts to mankind but you can buy one at any Target. Their reaction was so extreme that I wonder if something else was left behind, something that they were afraid others would see.

Removing choices from women is their goal.

The Koches will go down in history as some of its greatest monsters-however long history will last.

Just let kids grow up without preying on them, goddammit. Is that so hard? Do other people exist only for these predator’s pleasure? Are we not human beings to them? And make no mistake-they want young girls because they can’t deal with adults, who are harder to control and manipulate. It’s weakness

The act of transmitting thoughts from mind to hands is a vital part of the writing process. There is an alchemy in the process and you might end up in an entirely different place from where you started.

Some had Shirley, others had Obama, but, Jesse was the beacon for so many of my generation, teaching us early on that perseverance has no limits and hope plus action are two of the greatest forces for change. Thank you, Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr. May you rest in eternal peace and power.
