The 747 "gift" plane for #Trump will cost us over $1 billion - not to mention whatever he traded for our national security. Think about this: it's taken Paul McCartney 60 years to amass $1.3 billion as a Beatle and solo artist. In less than a year as prez, Trump has made over $3 billion. So corrupt

How much more will America take? When will #Trump be removed? When will #MAGA and the #GOP be seen as domestic terrorists?

On this day in 1955, a car turned in front of James Dean on a highway in central California. JD's tiny silver Porsche was nearly invisible against the backdrop of an overcast day and a gray highway. His neck was broken and he died en route to the hospital. Dean would be 94 had he survived.

Does anyone else feel a little stressed when playing NYT #Connections ? I take it too seriously

This guy is the worst of the worst: complete psychopath

I visited my old stomping grounds of #Seattle last week. Here is a public school flagpole in the Ballard district. I wish they'd inverted the American flag. I long took for granted the sensible, empathetic people of western Washington. Not anymore

#Trump is feeble and weak and we're aware of this fact. His handlers & GOP enablers own ALL of his fuck ups. #MAGA will never turn their back on him because they're all racist Christian Nationalists. The death & destruction of America is their goal. Think I'm wrong? Show me where I got it wrong

Here's my selfie in front of the WTC - south tower. Life changed after #9/11.

Yet another reason #Trump will tank the economy: so desperate men of questionable character will sign up for ICE.

Why is my state of Washington so expensive yet not all that financially distressed?

The scratch ticket is a red state retirement plan

2015: Wow! The air sure is smokey. Where's the wildfire? What started it? My goodness. Is it contained? 2025: Goddamn smoke. What's the AQi number? I hope the wind direction changes soon.

To all these self-censoring folks who fear being censored 🤔, banned, cancelled, de-monetized or whatever.. grow up!! Stop being a coward and speak your mind. Nothing cheapens your words more than replacing a vowel with a *. You look silly and weak. (See example👇) We have a 1st Amendment. Use it

We know #Trump is a failed businessman and he mismanages the USA. He's filed for bankruptcy a handful of times and burned many associates. If he'd simply invested his inheritance into an index fund he'd be WAY richer now. Think about that: he's been less successful than if he'd done nothing at all

I came across a box of Kodachrome slides while thrift shopping last week. This pic is dated Sept. 1968. Does anyone recognize these people? I think they're in Pennsylvania but I'm not sure. I hope this man survived #Vietnam okay.

We know #Trump is a puppet. He's owned by Putin, the Heritage & Federalist Societies, tech broligarchs and industries. That's not news. He could lead from a very diminished capacity since secrecy is a #MAGA feature. But he can't lead from the grave. At what point will his handlers admit he's done?

#SCOTUS said Biden didn't have authority to cut student loans w/o Congress. But they decide Trump is ok to cut govt & agencies unilaterally. Trump could dismantle the courts and we'd have no recourse. This is what happens when justices and elections are bought. The captured SC court is corrupted.

A year ago, Liz Cheney endorsed Harris-Walz along w/ her father. They were NOT saying "We're liberals now" or even "We're no longer Republicans." They said our democracy is in peril. And they were right. Anyone who voted for Trump last year is in a cult. Cheneys, of all people, were ignored. #MAGA

#Trump and the #MAGA #GOP want us dead so they can sell off what they don't steal for themselves. We're in trouble

Thoughts & prayers (GOP translation: fuck off and die)

The rat race is a race to the bottom (of a 6'x6'x3' plot)

The poor and working class are not bankrupting us. The tax-dodging, subsidized wealthy are bankrupting us. Look at the numbers #taxtherich

#Sopranos meets #SesameStreet

The #MAGA #GOP is ALL about government overreach. That's what ChristoFascists want: total control.

Do you own the screen(s) or does the screen own you? #Corporate

Get dark money out of politics, courts and elections if you want to preserve our democracy

Do you hear that faint whoosh? That's the last gasp of the #Epstein story. Just as the #GOP and I predicted, the urgency would fade in time and go gently into the night. Another week and we won't remember his name. They got us again, Dems.

You can have 10k followers here but how many actually interact with you? Like? Comment? Repost? 98% are bots, scammers, sales or spies. And you're likely shadow-banned. That's why I'm quitting #bluesky. Another waste of time

I've been an #Independent since I was able to vote however my values align with Democrats and I no longer distance myself from them. There's no way I'll ever vote GOP again. That means no to 3rd party and definite NO to the underhanded No Labels party. This list 👇 is accurate

Age verification and multi-factor authentication is out of hand. Subscription-model capitalism is bad enough but we're having to ask permission to do everything and STILL treated like children. How is this sustainable? How have we NOT simply said no as consumers? It's oppressive. #boycott

Trump -nominee for the Nobel Piece Prize. (An award for the biggest P o S)

#Medicaid most often goes by a different name depending on the state. Many people might not make the connection between Medicaid and their state's public assistance plan. Same thing. Here's a list

#MAGA (tech broligarchs, evangelical Christian Nationalists [ChristoFascists] and Russia) want to kill us and our democracy. With all their dark money, why don't they just build a floating island in the Pacific as a sovereign nation? Because it's a pipe dream - Same as their shitty plans for the USA

The enemy won't be storming our shores. They're already here and will be vanquished. #MAGA

America will be great again when we dispatch those guilty of treason. #MAGA

Here's an unsolicited card my partner receives from a Union busting group. Their tax-exempt status is a joke because they definitely profit from industries looking to dissolve unions. I'd like to sue them

Sellout politicians are the reason progress slows to a halt. They're the reason we can't have nice things. Get $$ out of elections and politics. 👇

The astronauts returned to earth only to find Democrats patiently waiting for justice.

It's past time to enact an assault rifle ban. A federal ban won't happen soon but a state ban could make a difference in the meantime

Does anyone remember: the plane crash over the Potomac? Trump's free 747 from Qatar? Iran bombing? DOGE data theft? National guard in L.A.? Avoidable deaths in TX flood? Arrest of Sen. Alex Padilla? Assassination of MN Dems? J6 Pardons? Bill HR-1? ETC.. I remember. Why have we moved on from this?

Enjoy while it lasts

The Trump regime is illegitimate

Here's an effective DIY air filter system w parts found in any hardware store. It's called a Corsi-Rosenthal Box. It reduces mold, dust and wildfire particulates.

I never say, "I wouldn't wish that upon anyone" because there are indeed people I'd gladly vex. I have a list.

#Epstein files are the new Al Capone's vault. Don't expect any revelation. The files have been cherry-picked and nothing will cast Trump in a bad light. Between Bondi and Bill Barr and all the other corrupt handlers, the documents have been washed cleaner than Russian money.

TWO DAYS AND COUNTING!! (until the Epstein file news cycle ends). Will the collective attention span hold?? Will the story gain traction or slide into the abyss of yesterday's aggravations? What distraction can Trump's handlers drum up for his slobbering base? Pay attention, folks!

The GOP Congress works for Trump. So does the AG and the DoJ. So does the legacy media and billionaires. A majority of SCOTUS does, too. Perhaps Trump is just a puppet they all control. Maybe we're chasing our own tails.

Maybe I'm late to the game but I've noticed some of the worst people wear religion on their sleeves. 1/20th of the pop. is sociopathic; has no conscience. I'd bet that doubles in #MAGA then again with evangelicals. We're dealing with the worst of the worst. Who else savors human suffering and death?
