We got some weather but still managed to have a bit of snowball fun!

As a Neurodivergent person, I often find myself amazed at how empathetic, caring and passionate some people can be - I sometimes feel like an alien visitor - curiously observing, detached. But even I'm appalled at how cruel and heartless this government is to its people.

This dude rules

Good morning. A regular reminder: a tiny few hoard staggering wealth and own much of the media, while millions struggle to survive. That’s not an accident. It’s a choice made by those in power. Tax wealth. Fund public services. Build an economy for everyone - not the 1%.

So funny watching la Kelly tying herself in knots trying to insult Wanda Sykes www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/meg...

How to protest effectively: It's simple, just stop supporting all companies that support the regime. Use the power of the American economy against them. Download a list and make sure you don't support X, Meta, Amazon, etc.

So Trump's trying to rebrand the Monroe Doctrine to the Donroe Doctrine. Might I suggest the Donald Ducktrine?

...and at the end, didn't he try to take credit for landing the World Cup and the Olympics?

Thirsty POTUS gaslights fools into buying a ticket to the Upside down

People often say that Trump engineers distraction topics to keep feeding the media. I have an alternative theory: he's just a senile old bully with a broken filter, surrounded by enablers. Occam's Razor.

Rand Paul: "This is an insane policy. It's inconsistent. It's not war. It's not the way we've ever done this. If we can blow up a boat in the ocean, what about when they get to Miami & put it in a truck? Can you shoot a grenade launcher at the truck? No! We arrest people b/c sometimes we're wrong."

National Festivus Day I'd like to propose a new national holiday. Festivus - An alternative to the commercialism of Christmas. an unadorned aluminum pole The Festivus Dinner The Airing of Grievances we telling government how they've disappointed us over the past year. Feats of Strength

Those US tariffs are really hurting, to the point that China is celebrating record sales: www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

Too right. It wouldn't be the first time that Target has served the best interest of its financial masters over its customers - from layoffs to data scandals, the ads say one thing, the actions another.

842,000 Americans died from overdoses in the last 25 years, 500,000 from opioids. If we’re hunting narco-terrorists we can probably stop blowing up fishing boats and start blowing up boardrooms.

Everybody at @linkedin.com running round like their hair's on fire right now..

Conscious economics at work

“Hegseth is pinning this on Bradley.” “100%.”

Breaking: The US lost 32,000 jobs in November, far worse than expected. Small businesses were the hardest hit.

Um - question. If Trump continually says "I don't know anything about it" how can he claim to know more than most people on most topics? This doesn't track..

Classic late-stage syphilis.

See the difference? 'Legal' versus 'Lawful' 'Legal Refers to what is permitted, regulated, or recognised by a formal legal system or statute. 'Lawful' refers to what is in accordance with the law or moral justice. It carries a broader or more philosophical sense. newrepublic.com/post/203628/...

The only possible reason for this is that there must be a community of pedophiles trapped in Venezuela.

Just remember - the shutdown *IS* the distraction from the Epstein files, not the other way around. Don't fall for Trump's upsidedown newspeak.

The Grand Old Pedos Democrats say new release of Epstein emails about Trump 'raises glaring questions'

Oh, I get it now. It should be "Blessed are the WEAK, for they shall inherit the earth" Makes sense now...

When I talk to people in the UK about what is happening in America, they are both (a) horrified and (b) significantly better informed than people in the US. Mainstream American media have failed us utterly -- and in most cases, deliberately.

When I was early in my career, I wanted to be a journalist but wasn't smart enough. Now, it's become such a smol career. Defenders of democracy, my arse.

Ice Station workout I think it would be fun - as a form of peaceful protest - to stage regular fitness 'Jane Fonda' workouts with some really toned and fit individuals outside every ICE Station. Frankly they need to do better and they should be called out to join in and lose a few pounds.

Things for any future D president to do on day one: 1. Defund and disband ICE 2. Congressional investigation of every ICE incident 3. Financial investigation of prisons etc working with ICE 4. End qualified immunity for all LEOs 5. Fast-track legal immigration for every non-felon targeted by ICE

There's the truth and then there's the toddler's truth
