I hadn’t seen this 2019 video of Stephen Colbert singing with Oscar the Grouch until today, and man oh man, was it just the hopeful reminder I needed. 💞

Turns out, history books are way better if you read them from a safe distance. Living inside one is not for the faint of heart.

Has anyone asked Justice Kennedy if his retirement had anything to do with his son's possible involvement in Deutsche Bank's reports about hundreds of millions of dollars in transactions with Jeffrey Epstein?

Propaganda Barbie, Karoline Leavitt, said, "Canada has been difficult to deal with" on matters of trade. I wonder why. #cdnpoli #ElbowsUp

The year is 2030. The Onion is the most respected and accurate news source. Fox News broadcasts exclusively in nursery rhyme format. Somewhere, deep in a bunker, a journalist whispers, “It wasn’t always like this…”

Thousands turned out in Chicago today—fired up, unbought, and unbossed. On Independence Day, they marched, chanted, and made damn sure their voices were heard. This is what people power looks like. Thank you, Chicago. You showed up and showed OUT. @maddow.msnbc.com

All we have to do is take every single one of his policies to court to get 2/3 denied by this statistical average. There's no mystery about why a dictator hates separation of powers for the judicial and legislative branches. If you still doubt he's a dictator, have someone nearby give you a shaking.

The most sobering part about becoming 1930’s Germany is realizing that no one is going to come here and liberate those being brutalized. If this historically inhumane regime is going to be overthrown, We The American People are going to have to do it.

My brain kept working these thoughts into lines so decided to actually write them out
Text, a poem.

Title in header font: 

They are building death camps 

Normal text font:

The obviousness that these are death camps 

Makes me feel like, can’t everyone see that these are death camps?

Except the obviousness that these are death camps 

Means, yes, everyone can see that these are death camps

And the obviousness that these are death camps 

Is their way of bragging that they have always wanted to build death camps and now

No one can stop them from building death camps

Because they think no one can stop them from building death camps.

But what is this power allowing them to build death camps?

Not only is climate change causing ticks to expand their territory, it's also causing an explosion in alpha-gal syndrome, which makes people allergic to eating red meat or using products that come from those animals. A dozen cases in '09 to over 450,000 now. 🧪 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Unusually aggressive lone star ticks, common in the south-east, are spreading to areas previously too cold for them

An addled president is shredding the Constitution to usher in white nationalism and fascism while destroying the economy and our health care, so if you’re going to write an alarmist op-ed because a mayoral candidate might open five (5) city-run grocery stores, you can kindly get bent.

The United States is a nation beyond the rule of law. People are being kidnapped on the streets by men in masks. They are being disappeared and deported to foreign concentration camps. A Canadian died in their hands. We must demand full access and independent investigation of his mistreatment.
