It remains notable that The Onion — The Onion! — has had a stronger moral compass and more clear set of values in this moment than nearly every powerful and well-funded institution in American life.
Almost goat walk time.
Second stop of the day. Spousal unit enjoying the Satyr German Pilsner. I am having a Black Metal stout which is why we came here. And waiting for the guided goat walk. @spurr78.bsky.social

Unplanned stop on the way to Austin at Barrow brewing in Salado. Lovely place for a beer with the spousal unit. Enjoyed a Tipsy vicar stout and a Mermadillo Belgian duple

It is not a conspiracy anymore.
VOUCHER SCAM: “Welfare for the wealthy. We just gave $300 MILLION for private school vouchers.”
MEMPHIS Rep. @justinjpearson.bsky.social on why he oppose the @WilliamLamberth @GovBillLee voucher expansion bill that passed the house tonight.

🩸🩸🩸 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon who incites political violence, adjudicated rapist & pedophile Trump did on J6 🩸🩸🩸

At lake Conroe this weekend for a wedding last night. MIL found a brewery nearby. We are enjoying some beers and music at B52. #Beer

Don’t let anybody tell you small towns don’t matter. 🤠🔥 Weatherford, Texas — population under 8,000 — came out today to say no kings, no exceptions. Deep in red state America, democracy is alive and fighting. #NoKings2026
At Railport for beer and to listen to Midnight Sun. A Tender Mercy for me and a F-unit for the spousal unit. #Beer #BskyBeer #railportstateofmind
Beers and dog treats on a table.
Couple of afternoon beers with the spousal unit. Having an Italian Stallion (Tender Mercy milk stout with a splash of St. Arnold’s root beer). #Beer #BskyBeer #railportstateofmind
Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.
It doesn't have to be this way.
Enjoying a green beer (Yes Darling) at Railport Brewing Company tonight.

Edited boomer comic of two office workers. One holds up a phone and says: "Our crooked Republican president has decided to help out Israel in its latest war, and now oil prices are going crazy." The other, trembling, peels back the wall calendar to reveal the next date underneath: January 1973
Having a Tender Mercy milk stout while the spouse has a Southern Biotch (2/3 Sumbitch and 1/3 Southern Raised) and playing Jeopardy Bar League at Railport Brewing Company. #Beer #BskyBeer #stout #railportstateofmind

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:
Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down
Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace
Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs
Folks, we’ve seen this all before.
Enjoying a High Groove rye IPA while the spouse enjoys the 2nd anniversary IPA at three wide brewing today.
AOC: He impulsively went in on Venezuela. He impulsively went in on Iran. It led to increased global instability and every time he’s done that, it has been consistent with a spike in what is happening with the Epstein files. I think that he feels existentially tied to it.
U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1.5 trillion.
Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.
The military industrial complex is cheering today.
THEN WE GET GEORGE TAKEI's

Because of ICE, I’ve Been in Hiding for Months. It Has Transformed Me. Days of anxiety, of frustration, and of feeling that everything is on hold while the world keeps moving forward outside. By SM 12:02 PM CST on February 20, 2026

After a week of the spousal unit and I having the flu we are grateful to be able to get out and enjoy the sunshine and some beers. I am having a Sumbitch blonde stout and she’s having a Rustic Red saison. While the son is begrudgingly getting his haircut.

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little."
—FDR, 1937
Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.
So excited to see this is brewing.
