Florida gets rooked by DeSantis. Again. The feds aren't ponying up for the cost of his filthy vanity torture camp in the Everglades-- they haven't reimbursed even a quarter of what that awful bastard spent building his monument to Rethug sadism. www.orlandosentinel.com/2026/03/04/f...

Florida taxpayers likely on the hook for Alligator Alcatraz
The federal government has yet to send Florida all the money it wanted to cover the detention center’s costs, and new documents show it may never pay as much as the state requested.

Democrats denouncing this gratuitous, distractive war with Iran are not "siding with Iran;" they are siding with sanity and the Constitution.

Unless the House amended the SAVE Act again **after Feb. 9,** this hysterical post about "starve if you have to but immediately get a passport" is even dumber than it first appeared. The House changed the documentation demands, according to the Brennan Center. SAVE must still absolutely die.

Unfuckingbelievable. @moderation.bsky.app slapped their little "Rude" label on THIS account. Apparently all it takes is a complaint from some nutter they LIKE and, boom, your account's basically dead because they HIDE "rude" accounts by default. ➡️

The meme below is spreading more & more. It's FAKE. The fake quote was taken from a satire site & embellished into a meme by some idiot calling itself TalksBerry. Please don't spread shit you haven't verified. Makes us look like MAGAts. (I added the blue THIS IS FAKE. Helps wipe out that face.)

I actually turned this shit on, and it is just a tsunami of LIES, now turning into SCREAMING. He literally just started screaming. Now I hear some shit about the men's hockey piggies and the obnoxious U!S!A! U!S!A! Revolting doesn't begin to cover it. ➡️

George Conway posted this photo. I checked to see if it was real (kept an old Twitter account for this purpose). Unbelievably, yes. Worse, it was posted by the White House responding to a YEAR-OLD tweet from Justin Trudeau. I despise those ugly, nasty, sickness-spreading WH cockroaches.

This is a... "controversy"? It's just "controversial" that the Trump regime is pulling out all the stops to protect him and a ring of pedophiles? Who comes up with these labels?

Again. I realize you think you’re clever by parroting “strongly worded letter”. That is actually in the constitution as one of the only ways the minority has to speak in the minority. It creates foundation for fact-future hearings & investigations. It’s also what the Declaration of Independence was.

This shit happens a lot here. I get in a political scrap with some fucking child (like the one portrayed below) and I get "listed" as something else entirely, something I'm not. Apparently, drama queens gonna drama. But no, @nekogurl12.bsky.social , I am not a transphobe. I AM an idiotphobe.

Trump is FUCKING JEALOUS of Pres. Obama getting a little attention after being asked a question about aliens. EXTRATERRESTRIAL aliens. Who GIVES a shit what he thinks about aliens? Fuck that asshole with an excessively uncomfortable anal probe from here to Betelgeuse! thehill.com/homenews/adm...

Quote from dialog from "The Good Place," writer Michael Schur, simplified from Buddhist teachings: 

“Picture a wave. In the ocean. You can see it, measure it, its height, the way the sunlight refracts when it passes through. And it's there. And you can see it, you know what it is. It's a wave.

"And then it crashes in the shore and it's gone. But the water is still there. The wave was just a different way for the water to be, for a little while."

Gualtieri's an arrogant thug, always has been. So... what does the Trump/Epstein crowd have on him, one wonders? And DeSantis, for that matter? His law degree from Stetson? Big whoop. That incompetent, sociopathic demon Bondi has one of THOSE.) www.cltampa.com/news/pinella...

People here today seem extra-extra truculent and crabby. One indignant prisspot: "How DARE you address my specific question about what a bill [that hasn't even hit the Senate yet] will require, in my state, if you don't KNOW the answer? SuMbUddY kNoEs!!1!!" Guy thinks it's the "SAFE" Act, too. 🙄

I have more than a little in common with Democratic Socialists politically. So it's hard to accept that they tend to come off so profoundly & consistently obnoxious online. Maybe it's just the terminally online ones who sound like they're 12 or 13? I don't want to be associated with 90% of them.

I salute the SHIT outta this despite being a relentless pest when it comes to sexist insults like "have some balls" or "don't be a pussy" that translate to "male=brave" and "female=weak." Sometimes... nothing will do it other than really, really detestable words. This is one of those times.

Say WHAT now? Donald Trump has "searched the depths of Legal Arguments not yet articulated or vetted on this subject"? And will be "presenting an irrefutable one"? WTF? #1: Who wrote this putrescent shit? #2: Not only NO, but HELL NO. Fuck that chunk of pond scum. Apologies to actual pond scum.

I'm wary of most articles from Axios, but this was worth going thru Archive for. (I don't often; good journalism is worth paying for, IF you can find it and afford it.) Headline: "MAGA land demands Epstein answers after Bondi's hearing"-- It's a short Who's Who of Who To Spit On. archive.ph/wDcaK

Yikes. It's gonna take FOREVER to get this account anywhere near as (semi-)functional as my other one. Like, just transferring over the people I follow (the ones I really want to follow, not just to be polite like I was doing a lot in 11-2024). I intend both accounts to stay open, though.
