Why can't we have nice things goddammit

As in real life, we need less control from the Skeksis and more influence from the Myatics. I love this movie and it is the perfect metaphor for today. We need to heal the Democracy Dark Crystal.

Heh

"That boilerplate language makes it sound like Kalshi is a typical advertiser, when its relationship with CNN is more extensive." Does anyone know more specifics about the relationship? IE, How much does Kalshi pay for the references on CNN & CNBC & how that compares to other advertisers?

Secrecy surrounding executions in Florida has left victims’ families, prisoners and lawyers searching for clues about the governor’s selection process. “He could be deciding who is next to die by throwing darts at a list of names,” one lawyer said. with @nytimes.com

He’s not even in office anymore and he’s still more presidential than the man who is.

I can’t find a link on BlueSky, but I would encourage everyone to listen to Obama’s Fourth of July remarks from today. Then, compare them to the absolute bile you’re going to hear from Trump tonight. Our government doesn’t have to be a walking clown show. Vote accordingly.

"Minnesotans saw this winter how ICE and its detention network are being used to systematically deprive people of their rights, often without regard to legal status. No one is safer or better off when our government denies people their rights and due process under the law."

“With an unparalleled effort of will and of brute force the Communist method of madness is trying as a last resort to poison and undermine an inwardly shaken and uprooted nation." - Adolph Hitler’s radio address to Germany, Feb 1, 1933.

Happy 4th everyone! 🇺🇸 And fuck Donald Trump.

Russia rains missiles & drones on Kyiv’s residential buildings—targeting sleeping families, killing civilians in their homes. Ukraine hits Russian oil refineries & military targets to cripple the war machine. One side wages war on civilians. The other defends its existence. See the difference? 👀

".. restructures priorities for the reproductive health program." = Prioritizing forced birth, especially for those with few resources.

Did you know? Every year, the Supreme Court’s nine justices fill out a form that discloses their financial connections to companies and people. Our database allows you to search for organizations and people that have paid them, reimbursed them for travel and given them gifts.

Leonard Leo is a lawyer, but he's never argued a case in court. He's never held elected office. But for years he rebuilt the American legal system, resulting in the Supreme Court's right-wing supermajority. (Published Oct. 2023)

But women are too emotional to be in positions of power. 🙄

Years of TACO Tuesdays will do that.

Official statement from MN50501 on the Trump v. Slaughter ruling:

That’s the end of the line. Trump is a rapist.

Like she keeps saying, don't let the billionaires divide us.

“Vote blue no matter who” goes both ways, friends. Progs call out centrists for saying it. Now centrists are calling progs out for saying it. Stop letting billionaires divide us.

Ossoff: "Just think, 250 years on, what the Founders would see if they visited us today. *crowd groans* But wait -- they would see that slavery had been abolished. They would see that Americans without land, and then women, and then the descendants of slaves had secured voting rights ... "

In a world of performative cruelty, kindness is punk af. Be punk af.

Nah he's contemplating his favorite Bible verse

This sounds a lot to me like Trump laying the groundwork to steal the midterms.

When I was in school, reading The Diary of Anne Frank was a class project. Today it is banned in most schools and school libraries. I visited the museum in Amsterdam. Still marvel how so many survived for so long in such a small space, remaining totally silent for up to 12 hours a day. Bless them!

And for my next trick, let me tell you about abortion as healthcare.

Free speech is on trial. Where are Minnesota's leaders? 15 Minnesotans face federal charges. Minnesota's Democratic leadership say nothing. They ask for your votes. They praise protest in speeches. They invoke the heroes of past movements. But when dissent carries real consequences, they disappear.

Quite frankly, we're bigly winning 🫲🏻🫱🏻 🫲🏻 🫱🏻 🫲🏻🫱🏻

Keep for reference when your Fox - watching maga chud neighbor/family/coworker brings up Pelosi's stock trading or the 'elitism' of the Democrats. And not for nothin' - a West Virginia billionaire??

Bet your ass it is!

wow -- Trump is crashing out: "Today’s Housing News Conference and Signing is hereby cancelled until such time as we pass the desperately needed SAVE AMERICA ACT, which I consider to be a National Emergency. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DJT"
