Words and ideas can change the world

Virginia RIP

James Talarico: “This is the party that ran against cancel culture, and now they are trying to control what we watch, what we say, and what we read. This is the most dangerous kind of cancel culture — the kind that comes from the top."

*Dream* Donald Trump golfing. Silent crowds on either side of the fairway. He starts to swing, but a child appears in front of him… She asks. “Do you remember me” “Do you remember what you did to me” The crowd silent. Eyes on the president as a trickle of urine runs down his leg.

“For profit detention centers” tells you everything you need to know about them and how they’re run.

The worst case scenario for an AOC presidential run in 2028 is that she’s setting herself up for 2032 or 2036. She is going to be president someday—it’s just a matter of time.

Surrounded by loved ones. Not figuratively, but literally. Her room overflowing. People in doorways. Surrounded by love. There were tears, hugs, a prayer, Stories told, sweet laughter soothed us. She would have loved to have been there, And of course she was. RIP Charlie Faye

I spent the morning at the DOJ looking at the unredacted Epstein files. Here are my initial thoughts and what I’ve found, so far.

Is Ted Nugent dead yet? Asking for a friend…

Men who don’t sexually assault women DO NOT DEFEND THOSE WHO DO.

“People online attacking people for speaking their minds, which is their (First Amendment) right, is absolutely absurd. So I just hope that going forward we can be positive and support our team athletes” Amber Glenn - US Figure Skater After receiving death threats for supporting LGBTQ people online

Women can be assholes too. Though with less frequency. Just sayin

Seeing trolls putting 😂 on video of Renee Good’s brothers statements about their sister on Capitol Hill only reinforces my opinion that Facebook is only for Grandparents and racists

Gov Newson has been pretty good about speaking out, but his corporate handlers love him too. Just sayin

Don’t let democratic politicians act surprised about this, literally everyone here on #Bluesky has been saying this since 2024… And even earlier. Hell, Trump ran on election interference. apple.news/AdXn62VOAQva...

Taking the night off. I suggest you do that too occasionally. Here’s Grace Helbig to fill in for me.

For those of you who know… I don’t need to tell you. For those of you who thought the 70s were wine and roses. They weren’t. Son of Orange County (about Nixon) and “More Trouble” (about the protests) reminders that things have not changed. #FrankZappa music youtu.be/4DVguBGbtgM?...

All the bad stuff It hurts the soul It tries to break us down Don’t let it Love is resistance

Normally, I don’t deal with speculation, was the Trump assassination attempt legitimate? I don’t know. What is the deal with the Charlie Kirk shooting… Fuck if I know. Are aliens observing us from UFOs… I don’t care. All I’m saying is this video clip is worth watching

George Carlin always nailed it.

A heartfelt video from John Schwarz, “ I can’t help but hear the sounds of screaming children.” ⬇️

Q: who will the (D) court in the next election? Trump voters or Social Democrats? The LBGTQ or Black/Brown/Asian/coalitions. Environmentalists or Blue Dog Capitalists? Don’t say all of the above because that won’t work. Another blue-tinged lukewarm candidate will likely lose. IMO

I try my best not to watch any clips of 47. Just his voice makes me mad. I read the stories instead… Sometimes a couple of paragraphs in, one of his White House bootlickers will say something even more heinous than what he says himself. It’s not just 47, it’s all of them. #KickThemToTheCurb

Priorities change. As a socialist, I want healthcare for all As an environmentalist, I want to save our planet As an ally, I want equal rights for everyone As a veteran for peace, I want to end the wars As a supporter, I want the Epstein files released But we can’t do any of that, with Donald Trump

No arrests of the ICE thugs who murdered Alex Pretti, Renee Good, or Keith Porter. No arrests of anyone in the Epstein Files. But they arrested Don Lemon because of his journalism.

Absolutely gutted to learn of the departure of #CatherineO’Hara off this mortal coil. I met her a couple of times through her brother Marcus and her wonderful sister Mary Margaret. She was so lovely and down to earth, in spite of being an iconic comedic genius. A giant loss to the world. #RIP
