sorry hate to be that person but instead of exchanging 2025 for 2026 could i actually just get a refund?

Somewhere in America…

this is why I think publications that focus almost solely on culture war issues are so empty. The genuine economic, health, welfare etc impacts of policy are much more important than Ivy League coursework discourse but become sideshows to these people.

Fuck it I don’t care anymore

“He was free to say that he thought he won the election — he was even free to say falsely that he won the election,” Mr. Smith said. “But what he was not free to do was violate federal law and use knowingly 19 false statements about election fraud to target a lawful government function.” #Pinks

We’re sleepwalking into a disaster

Happy New Year's Eve Inspiration America Just watch what will happen LET'S GO 2026 In 2025 Democrats won more than 150 key races !! Your Voice is Your Power Your VOTE MATTERS YES WE WILL

Best post of the day. 😉

When people know they could lose their freedom & family, they don't report crimes. Abuse victims stay silent because they fear detention & deportation. Abusers can traffic & torture using the threat of #ICE. People fear court & police. This #ICELawlessness is making us less safe, not more safe.

Thank god we're done with all that Project 2025 shit.

Jack Smith in just-released House Committee interview … about Trump: “The attack that happened at the Capitol … does not happen without him. The other co-conspirators were doing this for his benefit” youtu.be/1NOVLkzycPI?...

Happy New Year

Just making sure that 2025 is definitely over

In the last 20 years, home ownership, life expectancy and healthcare has been improving in one country and getting worse in the other. I'll give you the countries, China and the USA. Do you know which is which?

He was supposed to serve 10 years and pay $36 million in restitution for defrauding investors. Never served a day. Not Somali.

Half way through the Jack Smith transcript and it’s become abundantly clear why Jim Jordan didn’t want public testimony. Jordan spends a lot of time whining about the toll subpoenas, and Jack Smith shuts him down every time.

This is a strange way of saying “we’re complying with court orders now that we failed to get #SCOTUS to stay them.”

This post is a perfect Trump microcosm: wrong bird (Kestrel), wrong country (Israel), wrong year (2017), but absolute certainty.

“The American government’s most prominent foreign-policy theorists have transferred their domestic obsessions to the outside world, projecting their own fears onto others. Their fantasy world endangers us all,” @anneapplebaum writes: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1... Gift article

I visit faux news comments frequently. The tone has changed over the year, the “I love taco” mood has mostly gone. People are expressing concern over prices. They still LOVE the ICE activity and they hate anyone not white and xtian. But even that is fading except for obvious bots and Russians.

BREAKING: The House Judiciary Committee has released Jack Smith's 255-page deposition transcript: judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Everyone who witnessed Humpty Dumpty taking his big fall had to walk on eggshells.

The first time I searched Trump, there were over 900 records found. I also confirmed there are now 332.

When you breath a sigh of relief because 2025 is almost over, but 2026 is like…

Just sayin..

Hello friends. The dreadful year we never thought would end, will soon die. Good fucking riddance! Heartfelt thanks to some I am nuts about🩷 @gmf1369.bsky.social @gspinell.bsky.social @6cats4adomino.bsky.social @bab102.bsky.social @resist4harris.bsky.social @gdad1x7.bsky.social (Cont.)

I would avoid the letter X completely if I could. Except for the band X. Oh, and XTC. Damn it, never mind.

The job now for those who care about our neighbors, our communities, and our country is to show it. “I told you so” might feel good in the moment, and is frankly justified. But we need to take this moment to open eyes and minds to what we can do to make it better.

It’d be a shame if this picture of @barackobama.bsky.social receiving the Nobel Peace Prize went viral for no particular reason. 😇

Those workers are heroes, and I tell them so every time I have to visit a Social Security office.
