Let's not forget that simply stating "I support my local library" is now viewed as a sinister leftist indictment of the entire Republican party ethos!

No worries...I should have been clearer given the horrific events.

Except for their position to NOT supply weapons or troops to Ukraine, Péter Magyar's Tisza Party looks quite similar to the Democratic Party. Yet Tisza is considered a "center-right" party.

In the U.S., we have absolutely ZERO conception of what a true left or even a center-left party looks like.

The 1943 Tehran Conference - oh, the irony - is where FDR and Churchill first hopped into bed with Stalin (i.e., "the enemy of my enemy is my friend").

Embracing MAGA supporters who are now turning on Trump for disrespecting their imaginary friend has a similar bitter taste. 🤮

I was referring to a certain adult who currently resides in a large white house .

Eric went down faster than a Slovenian hooker on the "Lolita Express!"

Immensely happy and proud of you, your family, and your amazing country for being such a bright light in this current darkness. Köszönöm!

Seeing some of the 'flat-earthers' tying themselves into knots this week has been an unexpected joy. I actually heard one, unironically, post a supposed gotcha video asking "If that's real, then where are all the thousands of orbiting satellites!" The stupidity is breathtaking to watch. 🤣🤣

Dear @apapsychiatric.bsky.social could you please explain to me how the most devastatingly destructive mental disorder of the past decade (MAGA) isn't listed anywhere in the DSM-5? It should have its own separate damn volume! 🫤

There's a part of me fervently hoping that Iran sends a big "fuck you" to Trump and refuses to open Hormuz until the U.S. withdraws all forces from the theater.

Can You Say Why America is the Greatest Country in the World? YouTube video by Christopher L Webster

I'm really starting to feel like every single person in this country needs to be strapped to a chair, their eyes clamped open like Alex in "A Clockwork Orange," and then forced to watch this iconic clip (from almost a decade and a half ago) on repeat for 24 hours straight! 🫤

It will be like VE Day, VJ Day and the Arab Spring all rolled into one joyous afternoon!

I look at this vicious clown-show of a regime - where stupidity meets toxic masculinity - and all I can think of is an old (mid-1700s) quote from British writer/politician Horace Walpole:

"𝙏𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙡𝙙 𝙞𝙨 𝙖 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙙𝙮 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙨𝙚 𝙬𝙝𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙠, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙖 𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙜𝙚𝙙𝙮 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙨𝙚 𝙬𝙝𝙤 𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙡."

We are seriously fvck'd! 😖

"Put me in coach
I'm ready to play, today
Look at me,
I can be, your AG!"🎶

In what should be a unanimous decision, you just know that it'll end up being a 7-2 ruling because these two corrupt fuckwits can't help but side with the MAGA Mein Kampf crowd. 🙄

"Serpentine, Shelly!!"

Where's Dick Cheney when you need him.

Today marks the anniversary of the death of
Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun (self-portrait below). A criminally underappreciated woman artist (what's new), and arguably one of the greatest portraitists of the late-1700s to mid-1800s; perhaps most well-known as Marie Antoinette's preferred court painter.

What I'd like to know is how many of these are retiring from strongly red states and/or districts? Call me jaded, but I can easily envision this as a "fall on your sword" for the party GOP strategy...allowing new, younger, fresh-faced Republicans to run without all the incumbent baggage. 🤔

Trump signature to appear on US bills in first for sitting president Treasurer’s signature to be removed for first time since 1861 in change made to mark US’s 250th anniversary

If I EVER had the slightest hesitancy about replacing U.S. currency with a completely digital payment system...this just broke down any disinclination I may have been harboring!! 💸💸💸

For the most part, I also still generally trust The Guardian, the English version of Le Monde and Al Jazeera.

Losing any dog (but especially a golden) is just heart-wrenching. We lost our 13-year-old right after Christmas 2024 and I still miss her like crazy every damn day! Sending our best to you and yours. 🥹

I'm in the same boat (actually older), so no offense intended 😉

I'm sure those pissed off viewers are all white, over 50, and still haven't recovered from some episode of Murder She Wrote 10 years ago that had a same-sex wedding, or that one time there was a black man on an episode of Matlock! 🤣

Hitchens Religion Poisons Everything Here's What #christopherhitchens YouTube video by Reason Revolution

Can you be both a prophet AND an atheist?🤔Seriously, when you go back and listen to Hitch's warnings from nearly two decades ago, it's a literal blueprint for where we find ourselves today - with christian nationalists (and others) gleefully and joyfully striving to bring about Armageddon.

Can we talk about the accompanying photo? The attacker was killed by private security, so why do we include a photo of an armed FBI agent in camo? It's almost as though they're subliminally trying to tie stopping the attack to the actions of the federal government. 🤨

Tillis will fold faster than a slice of New York pizza! 🙄

Australian Greens Senator Nick McKim delivered a fiery address in the Senate, accusing the government of “complicity” in what he called an “illegal US-led war.” #australia #worldnews #news #iran TikTok video by Brut.

The more I see Nick McKim (Australian Green Party) the more I love the guy...oh how I miss sane, rational, and passionate elected fighters!

Thinking lately how sad it is that the new "𝘼𝙢𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝘿𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙢" for more and more of us who are tired of the spiraling insanity, is to simply no longer live here.

180,000+ American citizens were fortunate enough to emigrate overseas last year; I expect closer to 250,000 will make it out this year.

Damn it...they just won't let us have ANYTHING!😎
