Some rhythms don’t knock.
They just rock up β€” like a yard filling up before you even realize the music started.

You can almost see it: warm air, neighbors leaning over balconies, somebody clapping the beat from across the way.

Does Trump know he doesn't need other people to make him look bad? I mean a criminal, grifting, rapist and pedophile can do that all on their own.

Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:

The Oregon Table Rock. They are bizarre lava-capped mesa's that look like tree stumps that formed about 7 million years ago from Mt. Olsen eruptions. They don't make sense, but Mama Nature has her creative moods.

He's the punchline of a joke.

kind of crazy that if you have enough money and don't like what you see in the media, you can just buy up every film studio, news station, and social media app and change it

Warner: "There was no imminent threat to the United States by the Iranians. There was a threat to Israel. If we equate a threat to Israel as the equivalent of an imminent threat to the US, then we are in uncharted territory."

Just curious, how long does it take to obliterate an already obliterated nuclear program?

Chris Murphy: "It won't be the billionaire children of Donald Trump and his buddies that die. It's going to be the children of middle class and poor families all across this country that are gonna die for a war of choice, a war of vanity, an illegal war."

What rock has the Editorial Board of the Washington Post been hiding under? It's no secret that millions of Americans loath Trump, his lackeys, and every voter who put him in office.

It’s obscene to have this draft dodger whose children *never* served and whose father never served and whose grandfather was kicked out of Germany for dodging service, wheezing platitudes about the unnecessary deaths he caused to other people’s children who did serve their country.

Right now I am leaning towards the concept that our own President is more of a danger to this country than any other country is.

Trump is going to war for himself and his boundless, malicious ego. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-war

Trump got elected THE FIRST TIME only a few weeks after audio leaked of him bragging about sexually assaulting women. Trump got elected THE SECOND TIME ~6 months after he was found guilty on all 34 felony counts. He had three other indictments on deck. What lesson has this man ever had to learn?
