Yeah, strongly agree. How I vote as a juror is one thing; how I vote in an election is another. And it's vital to the nation that we do everything possible to keep abusers, bigots, Nazis, sex pests OUT of powerful positions. We already have too many. Credible allegations are enough.

Important for people to remember that agents of the federal government are a bunch of liars, as has been shown in every case that's been examined recently. ICE ARE LIARS

Jimi Hendrix wasn't really that good.

So they're going to focus on corruption by ignoring the only remedy for a corrupt president that they have? Genius.

If they had the A Team going, I'd feel better about it. Mr. T is a pretty smart cat.

The more you try to catch joy, the more it runs away. It arrives on its own. When you stop running toward it and begin rooting yourself in the present moment, joy finds you. It rises quietly from the earth beneath your feet, settles into your breath, & becomes something you carry rather than chase.

The devil breaks his tools when he's done with them. You can see it coming if you look.

Buddy, if America EVER gets through this...

For people intending this evening to publicly petition our government for a redress of grievances: AM I FREE TO LEAVE? and I INVOKE MY RIGHTS TO SILENCE AND COUNSEL AND WILL NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS WITHOUT MY ATTORNEY PRESENT. are the only things you say to police or law enforcement.

The best time to stop the mendacious, narcissistic, racist, misogynist authoritarian grifter is a decade ago. The second best is today.

Agree and endorse.

Is it the murders in the Caribbean? Is it the aggressive war, and massacre of school girls? Is it the domestic murders, the ethnic cleansing and concentration camps? Is it the lawlessness, the usurpation of Congressional powers, the destruction of the republic and threat to democracy?

Maybe need a bit more distance. Any missions to Pluto coming up?

This is beautiful - the Boss has still got it. It's like cold water in the desert to hear someone saying it like it is.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the Caribbean www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

The triumph of Easter is a three part triumph over the power of suffering, death and hell. The first part is Maundy Thursday, and the power of friendship and the triumph of love over hierarchy. Jesus took off his outer garment, tied a towel over his waist and washed the feet of his disciples.

Hell does reign - in the White House.

It's impolite to call Musk a genocidal white nationalist because "civility" in American discourse functions not as a neutral procedural norm but as an asymmetric weapon to shield the powerful from accurate moral characterization while policing the tone of those who object.

This must be the prequel to: A priest, a nun and a rabbit go into a blood bank. "What's your type?" asks the phlebotomist. "I think I must be a type O." said the rabbit.

This. After all is said and done, bottom line - this was the easiest election ever. We'd already had 4 years of Trump, we knew what he was about, we'd heard the lies, the racism, the misogyny, the lawlessness, the narcissism. Easiest election ever. And we, the People, failed it. Now we pay.

He's not mentally ill. Narcissistic, racist, mendacious and otherwise very, very wicked, but not mentally ill. Mental illness has nothing to do with what's wrong with him, the political party he belongs to or the nation as a whole.

Fleetwood Mac's Don't Stop still sends me right back to the '70s.

This is Arthur. I'm going to see if the Giants look any better from a distance.

Adam means that she is the daughter of immigrants, but it is worth emphasizing that *every* U.S. citizen who has not been naturalized is a birthright citizen, either by the 14th Amendment or by statute.

How in hell have so many people in such high places of authority decided to be so cruel?

I think that to me, the worst part of dentistry is the smell of the drilling. Makes me want to stop breathing.

Yes, and we need to remember when this is over - and it will be over someday; someday this will be a history lesson and the drivers of the overthrow of the republic will have gone to prison and their graves in disgrace - remember who provided academic backing in support of Trump's ethnic cleansing.

Hmmm, looming stagflation, a crisis in Iran that looks like it's going to lead to a botched military raid... reminds me of another president. There, the resemblance ends though.

It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you. If you are a cis person, take a look and find someone to support if you can. Everyone give this a share after.

We're not really talking about the meaning of the Constitution anymore. The provisions of the Constitution which have been under attack are clear, and have been clearly understood for decades - birthright citizenship, women's rights, freedom of speech and assembly, Congressional power of the purse.

Washington Post normalizes Trumps racism and ethnic cleansing. She's born on US soil; she *is* a citizen - period. Trump attempting to change the long-established meaning of a Constitutional Amendment in hope of making the US more white does not and cannot change that.

If only we had a wheelbarrow - now that would be something!

"It is as inappropriate to punch somebody attacking you with a knife as it is to attack somebody with a knife. Tell me again how you aren't as violent as they are."

This probably isn't going to change people's minds, but sometimes it is easier to evoke sympathy for dogs than it is to evoke sympathy for trans folks. Giving money to J.K.Rowling is the same as giving money to eradicate transgender people.

Watching / listening to a video from Leonard Cohen's Live in London concert, with the Webb sisters and other brilliant musicians. Incredibly beautiful performance.

"Never thought I'd see it..." could be the motto of the 2020s.

Well, this is interesting - RFK Jr. is an outrageous liar, and thinks that he can get away with outrageous lies. The administration is going full court press on reality. Won't end well. Not until the end of the administration.

My optimistic thought for the day: There’s no such thing as a failure who keeps trying Coasting to the bottom is the only disgrace I love this song. www.youtube.com/watch?v=So9z...

At this point, I'd be skeptical of an organization that purports to be progressive but *isn't* criticized in the NY Times.

Mistransia is a branch on the Nazi tree - you can't accept the branch without the whole tree taking root and growing.

"Excuse me, Mr. Piece-of-shit Gestapo wannabe: if you don't have an innocent citizen exercising their 1st Amendment rights to shoot just now, could you direct me to gate 42?"

This is also murder by ICE. When they take somebody into custody, they are responsible for their care.

Nobody knows the mission but the high-up in the chain of command, and the Iranians.

Ukraine's own strength and tenacity is a far better guarantor of security than anything the US is likely to do in the near future. Ukraine would be foolish to allow Russia to whittle their resources away. And Ukraine is far from foolish.

JK Rowling is calling women athletes men even after they pass genetic testing. People in her replies are talking about these women having “ambiguous” genitalia. We are in an extremely frightening moment for ALL women thanks to transphobia.

We're about to level up the bad decision making, aren't we?

Sometimes it’s complex. This time it’s not. It’s really not. She’s taking the money and using it to oppress, terrorize, and kill an already oppressed minority currently already being terrorized and killed.

Yes, you should absolutely judge things about people, even considering their eras - the founders owning people was horrific and evil, and there were plenty of witnesses to the fact. They should have known better.
