“Stay strong, stay engaged & be clear we’ll get through this dark chapter in America’s history. But that depends on all of us recognizing our collective power & refusing to give in to doubt & despair…Saturday was an important milestone on the path to change.” www.americaamerica.news/p/we-will-no...

Very happy to have my new #shortstory published on The Write Launch. @thewritelaunch.bsky.social "Ancient Ritual" is likely the closest I'll come to writing a love story but covers a range of emotions. #writing #literary #writingcommunity Check it out (free): thewritelaunch.com/2025/10/anci...

I see they made a biopic about your mom

i think both sides are to blame here

Ted Cruz: ‘Vacationing Is How I Grieve’

The agencies responsible for protecting you in extreme weather events were cut under Trump. In times of crisis, Trump will gladly leave you and your family at risk.

There are actually quite a few undocumented Russians in the US. Anyone have any videos of ICE forcefully deporting them? Or just the brown people?

There really should be a moratorium on all “Republican holdout” stories from this point forward. Write about the Tooth Fairy instead so we can learn the latest on something more plausible.

If you ever see John Roberts in person and don’t tell him to go fuck himself, you’ll regret it forever.

If you need a mask to enforce the law, you don’t deserve a badge. Federal agents are snatching people off the streets—faces covered, names hidden. This isn’t safety. It’s secrecy. It’s not America. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/why-are-fe...

Well, at least they're honest.

Loss of white privilege should not be a criteria for fast-tracked asylum.

It's almost as if granting a criminal blanket immunity was a bad idea.

I am glad to see an apparent thief criminally charged, but it’s more than a little ironic that the person entrusted to protect our homeland security can’t even safeguard her own purse.

Our neighbor to the North is lead by a brilliant economist, who is tough, but fair and decent. Our neighbor to the South is lead by a brilliant engineer, who is tough, but fair and decent. We are run by a total ignoramus who is flawed in every way a human being can be & is destroying our country.

Thanks for saying it Mark. And to my Canadian brothers and sisters I'm sorry too, eh

Very excited that my latest #shortstory, "You Never Really Know Someone," will be published next week by The Bookends Review. Will send a link when it is out. It's a fun little story conceived in an airport while people-watching. #writingcommunity #writing #amwriting

I cannot overstate the importance of reading books, particularly novels by respected authors, for critical thinking skills and reading comprehension. If the big gun novelists don't interest you, start small and work your way up. Or read whatever interests you. Just read. Or listen. It's all books.

We wouldn’t be here if SCOTUS had allowed the January 6th trial to go forward as scheduled.

Liked Role Model's "Sally When the Wine Runs Out" heard on @altnation.bsky.social . Had a throwback Fleetwood Mac feel to me in the harmony. Oddly, I never liked Fleetwood Mac all that much but really enjoyed this song! @altmadison.bsky.social

To the world: We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom. —With love, Your American allies.

Bold predictions: 1. Consumer spending is goosed temporarily by panic-buying and preventative stocking up. The orange baboon says "it's working already" 2. Fox News & the GOP say we told you so 3. The bubble bursts & we start talking about renaming Lake Ontario and New Mexico

Change starts with one.

The result in WI delights me. But let’s not get it twisted, the lesson the GOP learned last night was not stop fucking with the rule of law, it was stop having elections. The MAGA movement and project 2025 are the highest, best and last effort of a group of terrified white men who cannot

Feelings of powerlessness, defeatism, the inevitability of the fascist merging of government and the wealthiest of the private sector we felt in recent months are being replaced with action. There are things we can do to #resist, and they are working. Let's keep it up.

Too bad Uvalde Elementary didn’t sell Teslas.

What's good for the goose...

On Friday we could've seen President Harris & VP Walz in adult dialogue with an heroic ally about how we will stand together with him & Europe against a common threat. And we would not be a global laughingstock or new pariah. Thanks price of egg voters, protest non-voters, podcast voters, etc.

Striking thing about Trump and Vance with Zelensky is how weak they look. On top of the awfulness of rewarding aggression, screwing allies, undermining US interests, and blatantly lying about recent events, these men that obsess over the performance of toughness look like whiny scared weaklings.

Senators Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Joni Ernst, etc: You’ve seen Hegseth, RFK Jr, and others give worthless assurances. You’re now seeing the US appease Putin, and DOJ guardrails crumble. Are you going to let Kash Patel use the FBI against his enemies list and further destroy the rule of law?

Look closely.

I want you to meditate on the fact that Garland refused to investigate or hold accountable the GOP members of Congress who clearly participated in the 1/6 crimes because of “optics,” While Tom Holman is demanding that DOJ investigates AOC because of his personal hatred of her politics.

A reminder: Vladimir Putin could end the war in Ukraine right now, just by ordering his soldiers to go home. No need for treaties or negotiations.

I don't think its bad that when I see an old white guy in a red hat coming towards me on the street I hope he trips or steps in dog crap. Might be a little weird though that when I get closer, and see its just a red hat, for a sports team or golf club or something, I want to hug the guy.

Squirrel Alert! The US is not taking over Gaza. Musk is taking over NOAA and the Department of Labor. Let's not miss the real story, one that will affect Americans.

Don't know the reasons for Selena's deletion but clearly the emotion in the original post was genuine. Would guess the automated Right Wing Hate Machine was too much. Wish she'd left it up, if only to give her fans who voted Trump something to think about. We need more reminders of consequences.

I used to admire Joe Biden. Then I learned about his order to murder over 1 million innocent chickens from Karoline Leavitt. Talk about spoiling your legacy.

This is 1 of the Senators from the state I live in. This is also the face of a pants-pissing coward I didn't vote for him but as a Moderate would like to think SOMEBODY represents me & can occasionally do the right thing. Guess not. Wish we could recall the lying bastard and get Roy now.

These are the good guys supporting DEI. Reward them with your business. Costco Meijer Kroger Giant Grocery Ben & Jerry’s Ulta, Macy’s Old Navy Nordstrom’s TJ Maxx GoTo Foods ( Moe’s Southwest Grill, Mcalister’s, Auntie Anne’s, Jamba, Cinnabon…) Dollar Tree Walgreens Wegmans

One Week of Trump 2 down (mostly, though anything can still happen today, a Sunday - Evangelicals might demand a human sacrifice or something). 208 Weeks till Jan. 20, 2029. Not that I'm counting, or assuming he won't still be in office then.

The Trump story has always been a crime story first. His pardoning of convicted J6 thugs is just the next step in his effort to destroy the rule of law and increase the climate of violence and intimidation.
