not my monkey's paw, not my serkis...

The only justice in this world is what we demand & ensure.

or, the importance of being urgent. 'Janones’s energetic and irreverent style was praised by many Lula sympathisers for injecting urgency into a previously uninspired campaign...the pivot appeared to pay off: in the end, the second round registered the highest turnout in 20 years.'

A blueprint for the 2027-28 congressional session & 2028 democratic pres campaigns. • reduce the work week to 35 hours • restore ACA & medicaid funding • fed student loan forgiveness & work with private lenders to refi those stu-loans to =<5% • pay down the federal debt with wealth & trading taxes.

behold the clueless narcissist that 77 million people voted for in 2024. For reference- This clip is from 1988. Tom Wolfe's Bonfire of the Vanities was published in 1987. If he's reading Wolfe's most recent book, he doesn't seem to know the title. idiot or liar, pick one (or both).

field interviews my arse 😑 and ofc the fraud just happens to be in a few key swing states & large blue-led states. 🙄👍 'ordered federal agents to halt “elections-related...field interviews” in California, Wisconsin, New York, Missouri, Connecticut, Nevada, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Washington.'

just in case anyone is wondering what's at stake with the next two election cycles.

in case anyone is wondering if there is a bottom, a limit to their (dhs, cbp, ice, geo) evil... it's nope, there’s not. what do we want? nuremberg 2.0 what do we need? nuremberg 2.0 when do we get it? better be january 2027

so reagan was referring to the gop, apparently. “I told him I didn’t trust him...they [fire]...competent professionals, stop supporting the states, eviscerate the coordination efforts that they had and then suddenly come in and say: ‘Oh, we’re from the federal government. We’re here to help.’”

and then they all folded like a lawn chair. 🙄

1/ No Kings' Instagram went dark for ~90 minutes at peak mobilization today. Meta stayed silent, then admitted "a bad call." Organizers are still locked out. Ezra Levin: suspended "without explanation." Zuckerberg's platform. Remember Brazil? #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

If you’re wondering what the vibe is going into the midterms the New England fall fair I went to today had a crochet guillotine for sale.

not a lawyer, let alone a constitutional expert, but I recall reading at one point that EOs can't contradict nor constrain the intent of the legislation, they are intended only to guide executive policy in administering the legislative requirements. otherwise executive power nullifies congress.

My man looks like a genie rubbed out of a Schlitz can

the hillbilly reptilians that hate science but love hating? just like the gop. wait...

we're just sims & npc's to the techbruhs, who make dr evil look like einstein. but at least this one (mr wonderful) is honest...

Who went through all the major platforms where the Pentagon might stream their barbaric firing squad "livestream" execution to see if it violated their policies? Me. I did it.

buying a tiny amount of diesel won't lower pump prices, it's a cash infusion for vlad's failing & flailing imperial ambitions, marketed as drumpf helping the truckers that he's actually f'ng over with his equally awful failure with iran. drumpf is freaking over the midterms & trying to buy votes.

done, next ! 🚫 🍽 🐙

another day, another impeachable offense - this one violating the impoundment act, a law passed by congress to stop nixon from doing the same thing.

how many US democratic political leaders are paying attention to this?

handy acronym & priceless advice, especially for the terminally online. 😄 also includes the obvs precautions - don't engage if you don't feel safe, public spaces with people nearby are best. QUICK, stands for - Asking QUestions Finding what you have In Common Kindness - the treat others... thing

clinton was more supply side economics imo, which worked spectacularly during his terms, but he also kickstarted the mass incarceration pipeline with the 3-strikes provision in the '94 crime bill. so yeah, since then, the dems started courting corporate interests instead of upward economic mobility.

'Several also wanted the rules extended to the president and other White House officials, while others objected to the photo ID requirements for voting, which they said would make it harder for eligible citizens to cast ballots.'

hoping we can look back at this in a decade or so and say this was the beginning of the end of the fossil fuel age, and that the warpigs brought it down on themselves - their greed & corruption were their own undoing.

'five of the seven students accused [were] free to graduate. Meanwhile, Jane Doe dropped out of Cornell and was denied her request to get her tuition refunded so that she could transfer to a different college. She hence faced more severe consequences than most of the men'

"Take Action: Please call your U.S. Senators (Capitol Switchboard: 202-224-3121) and urge them to oppose any attempts to pass deceptively-named logging bills like the “Fix Our Forests Act” (S. 1462) or the “Save Our Sequoias Act” (S. 4103)"

it was 43 years ago today... 🎶 tomorrow (9/26) actually he doubted the satellite data that indicated an imminent us missile strike, so he disobeyed a direct order to launch a counterstrike. and everyone and everything since then are forever in his debt.

colour me not surprised in the least.
