somehow being gen x from new jersey hasn't left me jaded enough to be completely bewildered by how our nation has turned so far away from democratic principles in not even a year.
Have you preordered A GHOST ARM MADE OF ANGRY GHOSTS from your local comic shop yet? Thanks to @fellhound.bsky.social for the kind words.
The GOP is desperately trying to rewrite history, but just a reminder that Donald Trump was president during the lockdowns, and he awarded Fauci a presidential commendation for his work on COVID. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

The air is full of smoke, the food is full of parasites, and the water is full of data center bacteria but at least we stopped all that DEI children's cancer research!
A reminder that cities used to have terrible air quality like we have today on a regular basis and the current administration continues to actively dismantle the protections and regulations that cleaned that up.

Reminder: we are war crime-ing Cuba right now because Trump and Rubio want to collapse their government. Not a major part of the media discourse but it should be.

The Declaration of Independence specifies 27 grievances with King George III and Britain. Donald Trump and his regime have committed at least 20 of those same offenses highlighted in yellow. Happy 250, America!

Just 10 people have already poured $617 MILLION into this year’s midterm elections. In the entire 2008 presidential cycle, the last election before Citizens United, total billionaire spending was $16 million. This is not sustainable. We need to get Big Money out of our democracy.
Who are these kids?!? @godstreetwine.bsky.social I do love that they still have an old school mailing list.
Trump had Elon Musk and DOGE cut programs overseeing screwworm outbreaks to save a couple million dollars. Now, it will cost a BILLION dollars to combat the new outbreak. So much for government efficiency.

holy fucking fuck. how ANYONE in the armed forces can support this guy is so beyond insane to me.
Jennifer C@thejenniwren.teamlh.social · 2mo agoTrump used the Armed Forces Full Honor Cordon — soldiers who escort fallen heroes and heads of state — to usher UFC fighters past Abraham Lincoln’s statue like they’re celebrities on a red carpet. I am LIVID.
Honestly, this Knicks playoff run has been crazy. 16-3?!? Nuts!
