Hiring an angry, drunk, rapist, second rate TV host to manage the military. "What could possibly go wrong?"

Easy for you to say... 😆

That's awesome! If 3 are a "triptych", what are 4 called? Maybe in this case, a "Quadrowan". 😜

Please read and share. The “grassroots” support for the SAVE America Act is a lie. The campaign pushing this bill is being run by Cleta Mitchell and Scott Presler, two of the most notorious election deniers in the country.

Hydrogeologists document that humanity pumps groundwater between 10 and 80 times faster than nature can replenish it, and that some of this volume took more than 100 years to accumulate underground. The planet's aquifers are silently collapsing: NASA satellites detect accelerated depletion of groundwater in major global reserves.

A play on the lyrics of "I'm Too Sexy for my Shirt" by Right Said Fred 1990s' UK Duo - "I am Too Saxon for My Shirt"

As someone else has suggested .... the lyrics are by Right Said Athelred (can't claim credit for coming up with this but its still very amusing!)

While we're talking about Live Nation/Ticketmaster's sweetheart antirust settlement, a reminder that it paid ZERO federal income tax last year on $145M in profits— largely due to Trump's tax cuts.

Trump works on behalf of the most powerful corporations.

Not you.

Putting the "ME" in America... practically since birth. 🤬

this make-oil-producers-rich dynamic Justin describes doesn’t even include $30B in annual welfare paid to Petroligarchs via U.S. taxpayers

we might be a democracy again when oil giants are seen (and adjudicated) as a criminal cartel conspiring with Canks

When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee.

But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education.

A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.

They should frack all the way off... 🤬

Maybe @katyhobgood.com could nudge 'Famous Dave'... less expletives, more sarcasm! 😜

Wonderful opportunity for Indigenous youth who are writers! Apply today to work with First America; details below.

RIP to Jesse Jackson. His funeral is today. I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.

Something to remind you
In a world gone mad
Its still a world worth saving

Black History Month Lives On Despite Jackson’s Death Black history is American history: full stop.

Rockin' a Dream YouTube video by Bop Cats - Topic

Always deferred to the Canadian band, The Bop Cats (Sonny Baker - vocals, Jack DeKeyzer - guitar, Teddy Fury - drums, Zeke Rivers - bass). Managed by a UK chap with short hair & earring...later reinveted as Daddy Cool. Same Dave Booth, different era.😜

The Bop Cats, Canadian Rockabilly band, were just as good (if not better). Their first single went to #2 in the U.K. charts, higher than the Stray Cats! They were managed by a certain fellow with an English accent, pierced ear, short hair...who later re-invented as "Daddy Cool"

"caters to the wishes of a small minority in the city"
Gee, what party does that sound like? 🧐

BREAKING: Governor Pritzker @GovPritzker has just demand $8.6 BILLION or $1,700 per family in Illinois in tariff refund money from President Trump.

Every American should demand a refund based on the fact that the Trump Tariffs were an ILLEGAL tax on American importers.

Revolution, redemption, love and community. Legacy.

This is a win for veterans everywhere. The fact that this was proposed in the first place was an insult to every person who has ever put on the uniform.

We will continue to hold this administration accountable to make sure our promises to those who served are kept, period.

NEW: Natasha Korecki at NBC reports that in light of the SCOTUS tariff ruling, Gov. Pritzker sent President Donald Trump an invoice of $8.6 billion.

40% of teen pregnancies in 15 y/o girls involve a fathering man who is 20-29.

It is never lost on me that the conversations surrounding teen pregnancy are always about the promiscuity of teenage girls and not the violence of older men.

If I've heard this before, I don't remember. 😜
Interesting track, great share, thank ye.

New Orleans - and the world - needs its badass Women, now more than ever. You being here is proof of that! 🔥
