We need a collectionof Kennedy Center performances that we can subscirbe to as a protest. There are countless tributes. Can you not find a way to unite these honorees and tributes in support of our icon of art?

Saw a Kushner interview that had medals and a folded flag in the background. I knew he never served in the military and didnt think they could possibly be his father’s. A google search tells me the flag is a “White House Souvenir” and the medal is for the USMCA (is it really still in effect). AUFKM?

Can we agree that having a “Halligan” is a demonstration of gross ineptitude? As in “Did the DOJ just have a halligan?”

One word to describe current president - Pezzonovante. Popularized in America by Mario Puzo it is used to describe a big shot in the mafia. The way Trump fires everyone he believes is an enemy reminds me of the end of The Godfather. He is axing people he hates and terrorizing us to show his power

Trump appears to suggest the U.S. will resume testing nuclear weapons for first time in 30 years
There was no indication that the U.S. would start detonating warheads, but the president offered few details about what seemed to be a significant shift in U.S. policy.

Can’t Chicago just enjoy their playoff win? May be more effective at unifying folks than throwing force at the city. And I was routing for the losing team. That’s how America should be ffs.

Just saw an ad against Newsom’s prop 50 map redrawal. Guess who is supporting this? Kevin McCarthy for Congress. Pray for California. Who would actually send this clown back to Congress?

This one is taking me awhile to rope in my fury. So, being a person of color working in a low wage job is considered reasonable cause to detain (or disappear) a person in America. What a slide to our loss of rights.

Glad to see Chicago turning out for this. Many heroes and democracy defenders have been through this base. Shame on ICE for usurping this National Historic treasure for this anti American activity. Especially because it is the principal Naval Training Center in American history for new recruits.

www.nytimes.com/2025/09/08/m... I have always been amazed how people can blindly enable bad deeds simply by refusing to say “no” and looking the other way. Meanwhile some of us will actually quit jobs when asked to do things that are illegal or even highly suspect. Is that why I don’t own a yacht?

So in Cali we have rules about carrying weapons publicly. Had anyone asked the people (agents?) outside Gavin Newsom’s announcement to make sure they aren’t random peeps with guns? Outside the press release of the governor of the (4th or 5th) largest economy in the world?

Beyond fed up with GOP reps who have PLENTY of time for hits on right wing media but repeatedly respond to questions from Media on the hill about the budget with “haven’t read the bill yet; don’t have an answer.” Just be honest and plead complete stupidity and negligence.

I am just a poor boy Though my story’s seldom told I have squandered my resistance For a pocketful of mumbles Such are promises All lies and jest Still, a man hears what he wants to hear And disregards the rest Thank you Paul Simon for opening my eyes and heart when I was young. They still break.

I can’t believe we have an asshat for president who blatantly manipulates the market and I don’t see one news source that even mentions it. I am more and more furious that the journalistic bar has gone down so low. Old enough to remember the fairness doctrine and the change in newscasts before/after

Just flew into Sacramento and saw an older guy with a brown ball cap getting off the plane. I assumed (as a childof a Navy Chief) that it was some kind of military veteran cap. But no - Maga and Never Surrender. I couldn’t help but wonder what he thinks of the market losses this week.
