I never thought I’d say this, but right now, everyone needs to support Marjorie Taylor Greene. If other Republican politicians see her successfully defy Trump‘s BS, they might find that courage in themselves.
Tolerance of the Are-You-Spanish Inquisition indicts us all.
Today, Elon Musk claimed primary responsibility for Trump getting elected. I suspect his next stock-killing move will be to announce that he created Covid. #elon
It stands to reason that #trump likes judges as much as he likes journalists. Both institutions have called out his criminal behavior.
Nixon was vilified for decades over acts that Trump would consider an off day. And yet, Nixon created the very EPA that Trump is dismantling.
Struggling to reconcile all of this. 🥲
The times they are a strange-in.
Hey, you whiny libs think the people running the government right now WANT to destroy the planet? WTF? It’s not like the folks in charge are in the business of building rocket ships…
Wait…
A quote today from the great Julia Davis. If Europe hasn’t figured out that Trump is bringing our 80-year collective security friendship, which has served us all well, to an abrupt and catastrophic end, you know it today. You are on your own. Act accordingly.
How “efficient” can you be at reviewing government expenses when you’re this bad at math? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/u...
We'll stop having war outlaws when we outlaw war.
Trump’s Gaza takeover plan is actually very classic American politics. Just ask the Native Americans.
The Trump-Musk Jenga-on-Meth game with the federal payroll, on the heels of devastating wildfires, is a bit much. Gaza is bad enough without turning it into Atlantic City. Ironic Trump is as open-border minded about TRUMP GAZA as he is closed-border minded about the Divided States.
Nope. You have a good grasp!
They picked a good day. No one is in city hall. Not that those who are have anything to do with ICE.
Taken a 4-yr vow of selected apathy for purposes of sanity (Marx Bros: "There is no sanity clause"). Yes we elected the Bizarro Cabinet. Not news. I don't want to hear anyone say that ANYTHING the Tr administration says/does is a surprise. Please - here's a quarter, go buy a clue & pay your tariffs.
Los Angeles is drier right now than Death Valley, Joshua Tree and Phoenix. 4% humidity. Not good.
Surreal to be watching "100 Years of Solitude" (Netflix) while trying to keep track of the flurry of conservative mandates being imposed by the new administration.
Nightmare! Being in LA right now is like being the magician assistant in the wooden box with all the blades being thrust through it. You try to take just the right position so the blades don’t touch you.
For a few months, we in L.A. were noticing the lack of rain. The later you go into winter, the rainy season, without any rain, the greater the danger of massive, destructive, wind-whipped wildfires such as those now bookending the city and causing catastrophic damage.
This is climate change.
Thanks for posting. Glad it’s not just me.
They must think we’re Charlie Sheen.
Right. Sacred. Like the 14th amendment? lol
The reporting is a little unclear but it seems that the safe level of alcohol consumption is pretty close to zero. This would not be a huge adjustment for me. How about you?

Make sure everyone sees this.
Nice to be on an X-like SM platform that’s not a tool’s tool.
Seems very good. Will have to make, and keep to, a New Year’s resolution capping social media use to an hour a week.
Well you raise an interesting question. With only 41% of all marriages making it to 25 years, do the super successful/wealthy have a substantially higher divorce rate or are their divorces simply substantially higher profile?
Thank you!!
Thought this might be a good first post. Oldie but a goodie -- especially with so much antisocial media run amok... www.cnbc.com/2017/04/26/1...
