Art break - Errol LeCain

Trump just signed a an EO that allows the full power or the federal government to go after extremist groups. Stephen Miller predictably went on a rant about Antifa, but not a *single* reporter asked if they’d be going after right wing extremists too. Shameful.

Who wore it better?

He should never have been allowed near the government.

This. A thousand times, this.

I was unaware this national friendship day statues existed of Trump and Epstein. @jollygoodginger.bsky.social shows us what it's all about and what people are thinking about these statues. #VetsAgainstTrump

He’s got eyes on you and you and you. 👀 😂 👀

NO MORE DISTRACTIONS!!! RELEASE THE TAPES!!!! TRUMP & EPSTEIN ARE SEX TRAFFICKERS!!! I’m gonna post this every day so nobody forgets exactly who Pedophile Trump is and why the Epstein files have suddenly disappeared.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable. But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

Had drinks at the insanely overpriced but iconic Tonga Room tonight. Fittingly, the band on the faux-raft on the faux lake played "Kokomo" by the Beach Boys. Bermuda, Bahama, Come On Pretty Mama

Fear has destroyed more lives than any tyrant...but only when people let it. This is the moment to master yours...stand firm... and resist like your future depends on it...because it does. You're scared. History won't give a shit that you were scared. There are no other acceptable options. None.

I'm proud of my belch speaking. Managed an outrageously impressive BETTY BOOTHROYD! this morning as I put out the bin. Unfortunately it was just as my neighbour was taking her two little kids to school. I'll be seeing one of them later; I teach him for KS2 Maths.

The Witching Season is creeping up...

You’re about to see a push on the right to designate a bunch of nonviolent people on the left as ANTIFA because they don’t like their rhetoric. Dangerous times.

Weird that the FCC Chair had no issue with Kilmeade wanting to euthanize homeless people.

Obama: We have to recognize that on both sides there are people who are extremists  But I will say that those extreme views were not in my White House. I wasn’t embracing them. I wasn’t empowering them. I wasn’t putting the weight of the government behind extremist views.

Remembering my favorite chimp, Roddy McDowell, born on this day

If you live on the coast, you have a favourite spot to watch waves. My preferred place also gives me a chance to look out for the local ghost ship. I've not seen it for decades, but I keep looking in hopes of it proving my childhood memories true. – Beatrice Helm #VOH

My quote of the day The sole and basic source of our strength is the solidarity of workers, peasants and the intelligentsia, the solidarity of the nation, the solidarity of people who seek to live in dignity, truth, and in harmony with their conscience. Lech Walesa

Another mental palate cleanser

It a class war disguised as a culture war, people needed to wake up. Those who want to take us back to 1950s don’t understand the tax rates on the wealthy back then that made it possible, and now go along with corporate welfare that allows stock buy backs and keeps minimum wage at $7.25 an hour.

Americans have short memories—keep reminding them. PLEASE SHARE!

Maybe putting a podcaster and a Mar-a-Lago groupie in charge of the FBI wasn’t the best plan.

Today, we remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost on September 11, 2001. As we honor those who lost loved ones, we also pay tribute to the first responders who rushed to help others 24 years ago.

#NeverForget all the times Republicans blocked legislation to provide medical care to 9/11 first responders who became ill from toxins at Ground Zero. 😡

Decrying violence against political opponents rings a bit hollow when you pull Secret Service protection from your political opponents.
