I need to get this off my chest. Please pardon the caps. TRUMP IS A DEMENTED, DELUSIONAL SOCIOPATH, AND YOU CAN'T BELIEVE A WORD HE SAYS, SO STOP REPORTING ON HIS FATUOUS PRONOUNCEMENTS! REPORT ON THE SHIT HE IS GETTING AWAY WITH AND CALL IT WHAT IT IS: CRIMINAL CORRUPTION! There. That's better.
Several threads here have been fantasizing gruesome ends for the abomination that is Elon Musk. Personally, I don't think anything could be quite as just and horrifying for him as magically rewinding his life so that he is born in poverty with dark skin. He gets to keep all his memories.
Oh, but immigrants! Abortion! Socialism! Antifa! And the freedom to buy guns and huge gas-guzzling vehicles! Freedom to make as much money as possible, even if it destroys the environment in the process! Pretty soon all that isn't going to matter anymore.

David Attenborough, the voice of Our Planet: “Things are going to get worse”
The voice of some of the most stunning nature documentaries ever made is pessimistic about the future of wildlife on earth.

If they had been intelligent, skilled and subtle, this would have been a far worse disaster. But the Trump regime is riddled with idiocy, incompetence, clowns and fools. They will ultimately trip on their own dicks and fail. Unless the voters prove to be the greater fools.
Mrs. Betty Bowers@mrsbettybowers.bsky.social · 4d agoThe only thing protecting us from the malevolence of the Trump regime is the incompetence of the Trump regime.
Okay, now I know the abyssal depth of stupidity these people exist in.

Good night 💤 When we ban books in libraries or schools before we ban guns, we admit we are more afraid of our children learning than we of them dying.
I was thinking for a moment there should be a drinking game where everyone downs a shot when the United States Attorney's office for the District of Columbia has to drop a frivolous indictment but then I realized only the United States Attorney herself could survive that game
We aren’t Great… If America is the greatest country in the world... Why are millions afraid to call an ambulance? Why do people ration insulin? Why do families hold bake sales to pay for chemotherapy? Those aren't signs of greatness. They're signs that something is fundamentally broken.
Burger King late at night. 3 people working, all Latino, their accents so thick I could barely understand them. As I waited, they bantered in Spanish. Their laughter was infectious. My order came, I grinned and said "Gracias." The warm smile I got back connected us. We are all human. Immigrants R US
Hey, Moderate Democrats! Have you noticed how crazy and corrupt things have gotten? How far the Overton window has been dragged to the right? How autocracy and lawlessness are taking over? How can you still be "moderate" in the face of this? We need radical action. That's what we're voting for.
GOOD NEWS: The EU has now banned large companies from destroying unsold clothes, shoes and accessories. That’s a real step towards cutting fast fashion waste and pushing brands to sell, donate and reuse instead of trashing stock.
Mayor Mamdani Talks The Talk, So Far, He's Walked The Walk.....👏🏻
Man in the CVS parking lot keeping a cooler in the back of his truck and giving cold water bottles to the houseless people who congregate outside. It can be as simple as that, friends.
I am so done with Democrats speechifying. They say all the right things. But their actions say even more. Or should I say, their inaction. For example: Mitch McConnell.
Kindness. It used to be a quality that we valued, celebrated, tried to cultivate in ourselves, like patience and understanding. I think many of us still do, thank goodness. But so many feel empowered to be rude, nasty, brutal, selfish and indifferent to the suffering of others, and proud to be so.
The cyclospora outbreak has reached 7,400 cases across 9 states. The FDA just recalled 1.6 million eggs due to salmonella contamination. Screwworm cases continue to rise. And we’ve just surpassed 2,300 measles cases — breaking 2025’s record. “Make America Healthy Again.”
You know what reduces CRIME? Living wages!!! Democratic Socialism is the way!
The longer Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear fails to find out what’s happening or what happened with Mitch McConnell—and act—the more Beshear looks utterly incompetent and weak.
