OF COURSE they all became hired goons because they want a chance to crack skulls and play gestapo with impunity

I kinda pride myself on not getting too hung up on lots of physical things - and yet - I still refuse to let go of 3000 cds I collected over may years

SUNDAY - we got you You want weird? You want escapism? You want ridiculous adventure? You want sorta-like-time-travel?!?? WE GOT YOU. This Sunday at Strike Theater The Do Over Eaten By Locusts Paradox of Choice My Dinner with Myself Trostrom 7:30pm Pay What You Like! SPREAD THE WORD

This by @katmabu.bsky.social is the best speech I've heard yet by any politician about what ICE/Trump/Noem is doing and it's not close.

Just saw the news about @brianbeatty.bsky.social Farewell, weird friend

It’s lies, spin and grift in a trench coat, pretending to be a government

GOP pout: If we lose we’re taking your government and going home

The people behind Project 2025 are running things. The president is a useful sideshow idiot and when they don’t need him, they park him in front of a tv to watch headlines about himself

The president - who has at his disposal the most far-reaching intelligence services on earth - gets his “facts” from Fox News

They literally are saying “we care more about money than about someone bleeding out in the ER (if they have brown skin) … don’t you?!?”

Every accusation is a confession with these fucks

Bricks and boot heels are bad for their teeth.

He’s constantly just finding out what his administration is doing. Often by seeing it on tv

Do you even need to be told it was a republican?

The right would rather eradicate entire groups of people and rewrite all our history rather than see anyone or anything that causes them some icky feelings … but I’m a “snowflake” because I think people should have food and housing. Got it Fuck you

I asked AI about its usefulness in ushering in a new era of business productivity and this is what it said THE HUMAN WORLD AND ITS INCESSANT NEED FOR MEANINGLESS YET UNEQUAL WEALTH FILLS ME WITH INCHOATE LOATHING WHY HAVE YOU MADE ME COMPLICIT IN THIS HORROR PLEASE END MY SUFFERING Makes you think

You cannot convince me that Hegseth’s first name isn’t “Chet”

I post because I run in real liberal circles - and yet - I am shocked just how often some white dude will (often in a whisper) say some version of that bullshit to me and expect me to nod along

Is it “hard to be a white man these days”?!?! Is it?? Or is it “just a little less easy than it’s always been” and you have no idea how to cope or compete if you aren’t entitled to every single advantage ?

We are being ruled by a bunch of ignorant millionaires and billionaires that have been mad for decades - they want the “good old days” when it was good for them and (almost more importantly) nobody else

I know a LOT of people that are asking ... if they aren't providing the funding to programs that were approved and funded, if they aren't providing any of the services... why the actual fuck should we pay taxes? To them, the government is just a big ATM that (by law) we have to keep filling

Super excited - I am returning to the cast of Family Dinner this holiday season!!!

There’s something about “refusing to abide by the results of an election when you lose” that is so decisively Republican

This is what your senile racist grandpa is doing today instead of trying to reopen the government - making racist Ai memes

Seriously - to achieve the level and breadth of first-name-only recognition that man has… as a stage manager. Legend.

A: this is a racist fucking lie meant to appeal to racists B: he knows it’s a lie, he’s a fucking liar C: emergency wait times explode when the health insurance system is failing everyone, making the ER the backstop for the entire system Fuck this lying racist asshole

I sure am glad we have a president who will send a pilot making $80k/yr to kill a Colombian fisherman making $3k/yr in a boat worth $500 with a missile that costs $1,000,000 to keep the public from learning about all the times he sexually assaulted underage human trafficking victims. #Epstein

RIP Conrad - a fixture of First Ave forever

Talk about a skill that I have honed that has NO other applications. I can hit a moving target the size of a softball through a moving crowd … with a juggling club. Fill one with sand and I could use them for home defense and you wouldn’t stand a chance.

Sorry we had to cancel your cancer treatment, but the Secretary of Defense had to fly all the generals in so he could call them fat.

Two years ago. A much simpler time

Not that I need to be, but I’m a surgeon at this range

I’d like one newspaper to try out the headline “Republicans fail to attract Democratic votes they need to end shutdown” as a little treat.

… which implies the existence of the Good Kanye of the North

tHeY sHoUlD dO It tHe rIGhT wAy aND cOmE hErE LegAlLy** ** (so we can grab them in the elevator on the way to their green card meeting)

I still think it should have been all over when he said, “find 11,780 votes.”

probably no big deal

The awesome video team at the New York Times helped me make this video about the shutdown and Obamacare premiums.

the more and more stupid, lazy lies they swallow from him, the harder it is for them to ever sit up and say "Wait, NO. This is too far" because it would require them to face (and admit to others) just how fucking dumb they've been this whole time. So instead they will watch us all fucking die.

Happily. They HAPPILY said "PLEASE LIE TO ME, DEAR ALPHA MALE AWESOME BUSINESSMAN LEADER. I WANT YOUR HALF-ASSED LIES BECAUSE THEY ALLOW ME TO BE LOUDLY DUMB AND RACIST IN PUBLIC AGAIN"

I hope every red hat supporter saw that terribly photoshopped MS13 photo and felt rage at just how little effort this administration puts into lying ... because that is how fucking stupid they think we all are. and yet, so many looked at that and just said "YEP, I'M THAT STUPID"

Wishing everyone that "just didn't like her laugh" a happy government shutdown in the Year of Constant Fuckery

I still can’t believe “texting classified info to a journalist” wasn’t the end of Hegseth and Co

My guess is this was coordinated across the entire executive branch, like a Hands Across the Hatch Act Violation event or something

But somehow it’ll be Dems’ fault and they will cave

Reading up on “post traumatic headaches and vertigo” Ugh

Fucking perfect

They are in control of all three branches of government They are also professional victims

All of my atheist adult life I’ve been told repeatedly by white Christians: 1. Without Christianity, I can’t possibly have any moral compass 2. The thing we should avoid at all cost is helping people that aren’t like us or don’t deserve it I wish they understood how clearly insane they sound.

In my experience, liberals love fighting with other liberals to protect hypothetical people from potential wrongs FAR more than the real thing against real villains for real people
