“I am somebody” shaped how millions of us saw ourselves as kids, including me. That message mattered. It still does.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Democracy dies in oligarchy.

This image features a provocative piece of stencil graffiti on a white concrete pillar at an urban street corner. Visual Description * The Central Figure: A bright green rendition of the Statue of Liberty is depicted slumped on the ground, sitting with her legs spread and head bowed low, hiding her face. * The "Blood": A large, vibrant pool of red paint flows from her lap onto the sidewalk. Her iconic torch lies discarded on the ground to her left, also "bleeding" red paint and emitting wisps of black smoke. * The Backdrop: Painted on the pillar above the statue is a large red splatter containing several black dots, designed to look like bullet holes. * Details: The artist's signature, "TOPSY," is written in black stencil next to the fallen torch. The background shows a typical city street with a car, a sidewalk, and a multi-story building. Artistic Tone The piece uses a high-contrast, limited color palette (green, red, and black) to create a somber and politically charged image, symbolizing a "wounded" or "dying" concept of American liberty.

The Mouthy Renegade Writer (@themouthyrenegadewriter) I love this strategy, Mr. Bateman. Let's try it out: "Trump voters put a sick bastard who likes to rape children in the Oval Office."

Trump is no JFK

Trump is no Nixon

Trump is a 34 count felon, adjudicated rapist and a pedophile.

Nice but Too little, far, far, too late.

Pro tip to avoid mass shootings…stop fucking voting for republicans!!!!

Children are more kind.

I wish I hadn’t start thinking who it was going to be with a moments pause. Sigh.

Stephen Colbert is going SCORCHED EARTH right now. To RFK Jr: “Fuck you, you roid-addled nepo carnie! Fuck you, you roadkill-munching Luddite human slim jim!”

Congrats to Stephen Colbert for never bending the knee.

Floridians were called conspiracy theorists, and told that no other state could be as dumb as we are. Worst "I told you so" ever.

Juneteenth is a celebration of freedom, but also a reminder: freedom delayed is freedom denied. #Juneteenth #BlackHistory #FreedomDay #NeverForget

It is still a great university system that they are attempting to destroy and in the case of New, give birth to the fourth reich. There are a lot of great students on campuses statewide who need support.

Apologies for commenting from the other side of the pond.
It seems strange that your 2nd Amendment to protect against tyrants and kings is being used by a tyrannical king to suppress your 1st Amendment right to protest against tyrants and kings 🤔🥴🙉🙈🙊

The people’s mic.

Bring it back ASAP.

Terry Moran worked at ABC for 28 years. Now, for calling Stephen Miller “hateful,” (which he 💯 is per his own family), ABC fired him to appease an authoritarian hypocrite who ran on “free speech.” This will have a chilling effect on all journalists. Fourth Estate fails. Authoritarianism advances.

People will have to give up their meta accounts and Amazon.

Word is Abrego Garcia has landed back in the United States, the man the Trump administration abducted due to an “administrative error.” Welcome home.

I know they can fly. I just hadn’t seen it in a while and don’t think it ever happened in my GODFORSAKEN LIVING ROOM in all my decades in SWFL.

If you actually know me, that is the first glimmer of my sense of humor I have seen in a very long time.

I would like to thank the United CR of FL for welcoming me to my new home with an in-person demonstration of the fact that PALMETTO BUGS CAN F-ING FLY.

What is the appropriate gift for the new neighbors you share walls with that prolly heard you talking to yourself like a gothic antihero?

I’ve been doing that for decades. Figure out how to unbrainwash a large percentage of voters and you’re talking.

And do what? They don’t listen to constituents or the constitution.
