If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.

Mike Lee is jealous. How mind numbing it has to be part of a party that's incapable of having just pure joyful fun. Repubs idea of fun is mocking and gossiping about the Dems and praising a man with no brain. Repubs really are pathetic.

I don't know if you've noticed, but Cory Booker has been up to the moment. Did anyone catch the rally at the Capitol building this weekend. He was inspiring (along with the others who were there.)

im sorry to be so divisive and partisan but i dont think the government should be inventing a criminal history out of thin air to justify sending someone to a concentration camp in a foreign country

If your response to yesterday’s millions of people marching is that they were all paid operatives…you’re desperate, deluded, and scared. And lying.

Burn it all to the ground and buy up the land and water and minerals at rock bottom prices. This a fire sale for the oligarchy. How do I know? They’ve already done it to rural America…

No matter your station in life, there is astoundingly little separating you from those men in that cage behind Kristi Noem. No charges, no attorneys, no hearings, no trial. Just conjecture and brute force could be enough to justify completely dehumanizing you, too.

AOC slammed Mike Johnson, saying: “You run the government. If you have the votes, then go ahead. If you need Democrats, then you need to negotiate with Democrats. Those are your two options. Blaming someone else because your shoes are untied isn’t one.”

If you were really looking for fraud at SSA, you wouldn’t need write access. You WOULD need write access if you wanted to CREATE fraud where none existed as a pretext to shut down Social Security.

I listened to Trump's address. TBH, to the lovestruck MAGA crowd, it was amazing. But to the clear-eyed un-indoctrinated, it was typical Trump, - gaslighting, hyperbole, grievances, contradictions, big promises, propaganda phraseology, and outright lies. Best moment, D.J.

"Last week, I directed my office to work with our law enforcement partners to conduct a preliminary inquiry into Andrew and Tristan Tate.

Based on a thorough review of the evidence, I’ve directed the Office of Statewide Prosecution to execute search warrants and issue subpoenas in the now-active criminal investigation into the Tate brothers."

Hey I fear I've been a bit of a bummer so as recompense, I deliver unto you THIS BIRD photo by me
A male bluebird sits in the center of frame upon a crooked diagonal branch of an old crabapple tree (you can see a few still-red crabapples dangling in the background, like weird little Christmas ornaments). The bluebird is sitting forward, facing right, with its orange breast all puffed out, and its impossibly blue head and back bold against the mushy brown-gray late winter background. The bluebird is a creature of happiness and hope, brought back from the brink of extinction and so we take lessons from the bluebird -- and from our efforts to save it -- on this day. But it's also worth noting that right now THIS bluebird is watching another pair of bluebirds try to lay claim to a nesting box, and the thoughts going through his head are probably "oh fuck you, that's mine," as they keep fighting over that space, like cranky renters. Photo by me, Chuck Wendig
