Don’t Own A TV Station?

A reader with “exactly zero artistic ability” asked for a post on how I’m creating protest signs readable from passing cars. Here ya go. Cheap, fast, down and dirty.

Everyone please call your local TV and radio stations and ask them to send a crew to the protests and report on them. Much of the media would prefer to ignore them like they did last time, even claiming they didn't know it was happening. Make sure they know this time and that we want to see it.

Electing Trump last November was the most idiotic self-inflicted dick punch in the history of humanity.

The judge also failed to appreciate just what a nutjob that sheriff is.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

It's really not about politics anymore. The apparatus of the Republican Party has simply become a haven for bad people.

The plan to force taxpayers to cover emergency medical costs for non-citizens is a law called EMTALA: signed into law by the infamous democrat Ronald Reagan.

Lisa McClain: "Democrats' plan forces taxpayers to cover the majority of emergency medical costs for all non-citizens. Another $28 billion tab for who? You guessed it, the American people."

Trump is DOUBLING the amount of the Argentina bailout, to $40 billion. Nothing's been done to lower your cost of living right here, in America. America last.

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

Months before catastrophic floods swept through an Alaska Native village on Sunday, the Trump administration canceled a $20 million grant meant to protect the community from extreme flooding. At the time, the EPA administrator said he was eliminating "wasteful DEI and Environmental Justice grants."

The remote village of Kipnuk planned to use the money to protect against flooding. On Sunday, it was inundated.

A typhoon just wiped out Indigenous villages in Alaska.
Lives lost. Families displaced. Homes gone.

While billionaires build rockets and Congress guts NOAA and FEMA, the National Guard patrols cities that don’t need them.

Indigenous people deserve protection, not abandonment.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

He is a clown. A completely unserious moron who is the most inept secretary of defense this country has ever had. He belongs on trial at The Hague, not strolling those halls like he is of any relevance.

Here’s the deal, Mike Johnson, you worked 9 days since July, make $200K, and get best free healthcare we pay for, while shutting down ours.

Want it fair? Start with your paychecks. No work, no pay and no damn free healthcare for any of you. Let Congress feel the pain they dump on the rest of us.
