Pete Hegseth better make sure he gets a pardon Because it sure looks like he violated the Posse Comitatus Act "Whoever..uses..the [military] as a posse comitatus or otherwise to execute the laws shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both" 18 US Code § 1385

Beyond parody.

Congressional Republicans are turning their backs on Americans to pay for tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy. This budget resolution lays the foundation for Trump to gut Medicaid and strip resources from seniors, veterans, those with disabilities, children, and working families.

What makes this visual even more stunning is that it was made possible by people who said their #1 concern when voting was the economy. What idiots.

fuck daylight savings time, holy shit

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

It's called The Gulf of Mexico. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

I am trying to find a balance between staying informed, finding hope, and the anxiety that the state of the country and where it seems to be heading is making me feel. It all seems so bleak right now.

I've taken up a new strategy when calling my reps, since I live in a red state: I have taken to pointing out how weak the Republican party looks by not standing up to Elon. After all, the power of Congress comes from controlling the budget, and they're just letting him take that power away.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

Kamala Harris wouldn't have declared war on the American people.

Where is the line? What is next? Here is what I think will happen: now that Elon got away with doing it, Trump will do it next. His base will think it's funny because he is owning the libs. They will start doing it too... This is how they'll identify each other, and easily single us out.

Here we go...

I'm trying to maintain my sanity over here. #GoND #books #onyxstorm #MLK

Remember: If you are going through hell, keep going. It's the only way out.

Oligarchy (noun): A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

TikTok literally just proved that they didn’t have to go dark last night. Donald Trump isn’t President yet. Legally, nothing has changed. TikTok is using Joe Biden’s non-enforcement promise while thanking Donald Trump instead.

#SundayService 🙏🏼 @johnfugelsang.bsky.social

It’s important to be clear that TikTok could have stayed up through the inauguration. Joe Biden said he’d not enforce the law. They made a choice to shut down and display a pro-Trump message. They weren’t forced to.

Is it me or was this message super dystopian? Anyways... I'm going to miss TikTok, but for now, I've moved to RedNote. This all feels very weird... I'm not a fan of this timeline...

Can a headline alone be eligible for a Pulitzer?

Melania Trump declined Jill Biden’s invitation for tea at the White House, and yet I haven’t seen a single Republican call her out for disrespecting “protocol.”

I married into the ND cult. I have no choice. Go Notre Dame!!

No hate to this user specifically. I've seen this 'joke' before. It's not funny. Many of us have found a solution to a long standing problem in this medication. WHY do you have to wish that it harms us in the long run?

I'm at the airport today. Jan 6. I'm looking around and it is just another day... And yet, we move one step closer to a very dark 4 years. It feels - to me - like when you're running down a big steep hill. Bracing. Chances are you'll be okay, but you could also just as easily be injured or worse.

Happy New Year. 24 had a really rough ending and I am cautiously looking into 2025 with some hope and renewed energy. May 2025 be kind; kinder than most of us anticipate. While 2025 has already started with scary and heartbreaking news for New Orleans, I am trying to hold on to hope and positivity.

Charlie Brown understood the point of it all!

I think we as a nation are, finally, ready to talk about Bruno.

I like my Christmas films like I like my pizza: Extra cheesy.

So like…

Nearly every single Republican voted against releasing the Matt Gaetz ethics report. Remember this the next time they pretend to care about protecting minors.

Feels like a good time for another Izzy picture. She's such a silly dog!

Sometimes we make friends along the way (on Tiktok) and sometimes those friends need help. If you can help, please do. gofund.me/a965b230

Walkies are Izzy's favorite thing to do. Look at that happy face.

Izzy during the work day like: It's actually play time. Where is my attention? She's such a great dog. 🩷

For our puppy break of the day: A sleeping Izzy. She had a long and stressful Monday.

Where is Olivia Pope when you need her?!

This needs to be said, loud, and often.

This is the look my dog gave me while I was having a snack. She cannot have my snack. But she will make me feel awful about not sharing.
