If someone is murdered in broad daylight by scores of witnesses and captured on video, every moment you don't arrest the killer is a moment you side with the killer.

The title of my next book is, "An Entire Nation Turned Into Jokers."

If it all gets too overwhelming, take a brief walk outside. While outside, ruminate on the inescapable mortality of all billionaires. Try box breathing and to find even one thing of beauty to remember.

I wish the most violent, armed people in America weren't also the biggest whiniest babies ever.

dreamed i looked at you from the wrong side of the bookshelf over dusty undisturbed tomes your eyes scanned the spines of worlds you would never visit but for that scant glimpse some vertical horizons, stood up magic tattooed across their insides waiting to be unfolded inside your heart

Kept putting off the finale of Pluribus because I knew I wasn’t emotionally prepared. And even when I thought I was ready, I wasn’t. It‘s the most human show I’ve ever seen. It ask relentlessly difficult questions. It probes in such an unflinching way, that is both beautiful and brutal.

I think America can change.

Do you hear yourself @chrismurphyct.bsky.social?

“…well of course we’re always going to have a secret police force that terrorizes and murders citizens outside of due process… they just need better training.”

I need Dems to quit accepting evil premises as incontrovertible facts.

IMO, people who voted for Trump 3 times should be barred from ever holding office. That's just demonstrating a profound lack of memory, morality, and cognitive function.

May 2026 be the last year a Republican holds office until 2048.

Senators were more vocal investigating the drones over NJ than have been about ICE murdering a woman on video.

Our timeline is the timeline other timelines point to as a warning.

Lotta people telling us who they really are. Believe them and remember.

The vile impotence of a Vance presidency will be something to behold. You think Trump gets booed in public now?

Imagine how utterly insulated the SCOTUS majority must be to continue acting as though any of this is reasonable.

Putin weighing whether meddling in U.S. elections is worth it if Vance is heading the ticket.

I follow a slightly different path than the sensei.

I‘m not from Chicago. What would be the funniest Chicago insult Pope Bob could accidentally let slip?

Cops should understand that holding solidarity with ICE will have future consequences for them.

What if a dog accidentally shot someone known for having shot their dog?

I don’t really care about football; but I enjoy it through all the varieties of weirdo on this Bluesky sports app.

There will come a moment where you are immensely glad you found like-minded people locally.

Dems who won’t vocally condemn ICE, from its core function to every action it takes, are trying not to alienate bigots. That‘s all. Hakeem Jefferies and the Coward Chuck Schumer are afraid of losing bigots who will never vote for them anyway.

Epicurean paradox, but for corrupt government: - if the government has the power to enforce the law, but will not, is it still the government?

The world’s richest man has decided to monetize child abuse and he’s still wandering around free.

some of us need to decide what we are and go be it decide what we won‘t sit for anymore and stand up put down lines in hard soil that won’t be crossed so long as we we draw breath decide that the fire of our being burns for something more than half-baked lies more than this evil day

Tha fuck

I just wanna hear Pope Bob tell him, "...get Jesus' name out of your mouth, asswipe."

Can the Pope officially excommunicate Vance over the many ways he is pissing God off right now?!

someone will say ‘no’ to the wrong person, at the wrong time someone will say ‘not this time’ and it won’t look like the person you thought it would be they won’t carry a sign over their head that says ‘murdered prophet’ but that’s what they'll be killed in the street their body left for gawkers

I’ve written several poems today i cannot ever publish. For reasons.

ICE orphaned a five year old today

Several times a week I start to write an absurdist joke about something this regime might do, and then I delete it because I recognize it probably isn't a joke at this point.

It's supposed to separation of church and state, not separation of state and reality.

They will *ALL* look over their shoulders in fear for the rest of their lives.

This is such a niche foodie joke that I saw it and immediately smiled. 10/10, no notes.

we’ve been laid siege to for hundreds of years hate insisting upon us burning down our walls in the name of colonial expansion collecting souls like bloody "christian" scalps keeping the poor low and lower for bonuses and perks keeping colors and whites separated to launder putrid myths

i completely agree that this is the key problem with Bluesky discourse right now: The Circumstances are genuinely toxic right now. log off. go scream at an inanimate object. dig a hole. continue digging until you've got a burrow. hide in the burrow. do not bring your phone

I kinda want to see Javier Bardem do it. I think if he played it ultra-straight, it would be one of the funniest movies ever.

I threw my back out cutting a frozen ice cream cake. Was down for several days.

Oh good, a new nightmare just dropped.

There’s something sacred in crossing a river.

every time you saw the void every time you heard the blade whisper a sweet nothing every line you walked without crossing that old river for the moments that passed moments when you refused to pass we offer thanks we offer tearful, humbled thanks for choosing another day for not giving up

What must Cybertruck drivers do to convince themselves they don't drive the ugliest Incelmobile ever created?

There‘s probably some scheming viziers in hell thankful they didnt have to post their crimes to social media to impress their bosses.

This might in fact be the only thing Vance inherits from him.

Trump has a gift inspiring more hatred of himself than any person I've ever seen.
