My man looking like he's asking the public for any information on his missing Goon sidekick, the tall skinny one.

Please god let this close the portal to Hell the Cubs opened in 2016
Lets consider ourselves lucky that the bowling pins arent racist caricatures at least.

Well, electing the worst, most unpalatable person alive is rough on the ol' reputation. We'd be better off being represented by a moldy towel. 😭😭😭
Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social · 5mo agoInterestingly this piece seems to have touched a chord. Just got an email from a Canadian who basically says the United States has become irredeemable in her eyes, and not just because of the deranged attacks on Canada; also Trump's corruption and US wars abroad. It's hard to disagree with her.
Congrats to BART rider and Oakland legend Alysa Liu on winning a gold medal at the Olympics and making the Bay Area proud!
I know its not the most important thing but also you dont need an ID to buy alcohol. It is not illegal to buy alcohol without an ID. Most sellers will check/have a policy that requires them to check so they dont accidentally sell to a minor and theyre covering their asses, but its not the law.
Mike Masnick@masnick.com · 6mo agoChecked a book out of the library literally an hour ago. Did not even have my ID on me. What is she talking about?
I'm still long on AOC, I think she'd consolidate the progressive lane if she ran while half a dozen centrist assholes duke it out to see which one can most convincingly refuse to imagine a better world

Crooked Media @crooked.com · 6mo agoICE makes the nation an unwilling audience for suffering.
I hate how clearly explaining reality sounds insane.
Mother Jones@motherjones.com · 6mo agoIan Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him. “When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."
Elect someone you could leave your drink with. Elect someone you could leave your purse with. These are the bare minimum standards.
Doug Gordon@brooklynspoke.bsky.social · 7mo agoI will never get over the fact that the Republican Party chose as its standard-bearer, and this country elected as its President, quite possibly the worst human being on the planet.
