The whole point of democracy is so one person's derangement does not become everybody's problem. It's social hygiene. The fact the richest men in the West are a mix of grotty twelve year olds and deranged apocalypse fanatics is a problem, and we should be honest about it.

Congratulations to @nytimes.com for writing at great headline for a great article! Glad I still subscribe, which is thanks to @gilduran.com and @davidcayjohnston.bsky.social. One's budget can only stretch so far, particularly during a Fed govt shutdown and, essentially, a heist budget. No regrets!

You can’t make this up:

A 155mm artillery shell prematurely detonated during a Marine Corps demo — raining shrapnel onto cops guarding VP JD Vance.

Trump’s team mocked Newsom for closing I-5 “for no reason.”

Turns out Newsom’s safety call may have just saved lives.

Competence vs chaos.

I have my doubts that this Admin can & is now effectively leading all of our US military personnel. Why? 1) No Kings 2.0 gave zero reason for the Prez to declare martial law. 2) Why did all but OAN opt out of covering The Pentagon from inside? What are they hiding?

Here's part 2, where Medicare comes in. Because it'd negatively impact exec salaires & stockholder profits, I doubt private insurers will follow. @medicarerights.bsky.social @socialsecurityworks.org @aoc.bsky.social @pelosi.house.gov @raskin.house.gov @indivisible.org

I'm sure the president, famously known for his obsession with crowd sizes, will be fuming about the turnout of this year's #NoKings.
Here's what "No Kings" Looked Like Across the World
It certainly wasn't a "Hate America Rally."

Striking patriotism 🇺🇸❌👑 A soldier standing alone -- possibly US National Guard -- dressed in uniform fatigues protesting by himself on an overpass, holding a simple white sign written by hand, "No Kings 2.0." Great crowds today! But, a soldier protesting by himself -- tears of gratitude. #NoKings

BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV is set to effectively disband Opus Dei in the coming weeks.

This would be the most sweeping internal reform of his pontificate — and a dramatic continuation of Pope Francis’s legacy.
NEW: Pope Leo Set To Break Up Opus Dei
If Pope Leo does indeed approves a plan that effectively dissolves Opus Dei’s structure, it would be the most significant internal action of his short pontificate to date.

Some tech fascists are true believers, but Marc Benioff's MAGA conversion is also an audition for government contracts.

These craven men would bid to build the Death Star for Darth Vader.

Mr. “Dreamforce” begs to augment the Nightmare Force of fascism.

Post-Citizen’s United, we shouldn’t even be talking about conflicts of interest.
