The American Revolution, a six-part, twelve-hours series was supposed to air on PBS in November. Truly hope it makes it to streaming on some platform. Ken Burns can tell historical stories like no other. #HistoryMatters The American Revolution - Ken Burns kenburns.com/films/the-am...

Everybody loves to shoot off at the mouth about what heroic shit they would’ve done in Nazi Germany. Well, mein leiblings, whatever you’re doing right now, whatever position you’re taking, that’s exactly who you would’ve been in Nazi Germany.

No. Shes a grifter. She’s only been a registered Dem for about a year. She just moved to Chicago a 6 months ago to run against an 80-year-old. She’s from Texas & was a Rep until she could get more attention and make more more money being a Progressive. She’s also a Hamas apologist & vile antisemite.

Wait, did anyone really not know that Chinese manufacturers actually make most of our super high-end luxury clothes and accessories? You can get a really nice Chanel bag for $500 instead of $15,000 if you buy it directly from a Chinese supplier.

Government abductions are unconstitutional. Denying anyone the right to due process in America is unconstitutional. If you’ve rationalized your silence or support for any of it because it’s happening to those you disagree with, give it a minute… They’ll get to you soon enough.

Once again I ask: Do you get it yet, law firms? These orders aren’t isolated threats to Covington or Perkins or Jenner. They’re existential threats to the independence of the legal profession. You’re a fool if you think you won’t be next. Say something. Do something.

I love how Tesla thinks forcing Elon Musk to step down would do anything to stop their implosion. They’re a sham company that makes a shit product and they always have been. If anything, his absolute corruption and larceny is the only thing that might keep them afloat.

A great book to read right now is Aja Raden's "The Truth About Lies". It covers the history of pathological lying and takes us right up to our very day. A very useful read in the age of the Muskrat & Orange Mussolini. She is also a great follow when she has time to post: @ajaraden.bsky.social .

Look, I don’t like soda and I don’t drink it. Mostly because it makes me feel ill. But I think in a country where we’ve decided cigarettes and marijuana should be Legal and readily available, it’s a little hypocritical to tell people that they legally can not have a Pepsi - for their own good.

You know, if he weren’t a thug with nuclear weapons, actively destroying the world and sucking the life out of me personally, he’d actually be a pretty delightful Twitter follow. His tweets are so aggressively absurd they have an almost Andy Kaufman-esq quality to them.
