The Birds. I spent a week sleeping under the bed.

The movie was bad enough, but then we drove up to Bodega Bay (north of San Francisco) where it was filmed. Every seagull made me twitch.

I invite all the cold-hearted, selfish Christian Nationalists in the Trump administration and Congress to point to the scripture wherein Jesus told them to withhold from the poor, needy, and hungry so they had more money to give instead to Herod's $300,000,000 golden ballroom. I'll wait.

He orders extrajudicial killings. He sent troops into our cities. He terrorizes citizens with ICE raids. He raised taxes without congressional approval. He has ruined American farmers and ranchers. He plans to starve the vulnerable. He demolished our house.

Remove him from office.

NEVER FORGET: 42 million Americans who rely on SNAP are going to starve because Donald Trump and the GOP refuse to negotiate for healthcare that cost less than the amount of money Trump gave to Argentina. Sickening.

Because just like the WaPo is now about money & power instead of journalism, big law firms are about money & power, not the law or justice. Anyone surprised?

In a hostage situation, the party that doesn’t care if the hostage dies usually has the advantage. The GOP doesn’t care if the hostages - US citizens - die. That’s why they should be far away from power.

Trump knows Democrats care if poor people have food to eat and Republicans do not care at all. He thinks that’s a “weakness” he can exploit when it’s really just basic human decency — something he lacks.

Trump administration posts notice that no federal food aid will go out Nov. 1

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has posted a notice on its website saying federal food aid will not go out Nov. 1 as the government shutdown drags on.

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

There is no current writer whose wisdom and insight I respect more than @mollymckew.bsky.social’s. This piece beautifully sums up where we are, what we face, and how we shall prevail, and it has left me in tears:

The sacred American spaces desecrated by the American president

The American faithful must find their voice if the divine American idea is to survive

It’s more than just bad priorities. It’s about lack of basic decency.

A tweet from BrooklynDad_Defiant! says: “No words. If you think a golden ballroom is more important than childhood cancer research... I have nothing left to say to you.” The image shows an illustration of a bald child in a hospital gown, holding an IV pole and looking into an opulent golden ballroom filled with formally dressed adults.

You gotta hand it to Johnson and the House Republicans - they’re not missing a paycheck, while federal workers get cut off. They’ve stayed away from DC and doing their jobs since Sept 19! Getting paid for nothing while others struggle. So GOP!

They abolished the House of Representatives ... solely to prevent the release of information about the president's best friend, the pedophile who ran a sex trafficking ring.

I really think that we need to talk more about the fact that Republicans have basically quietly abolished the House of Representatives

When the president is destroying national landmarks, murdering fishermen, raising prices because he's angry over a Reagan video, and kidnapping parents in front of their crying children is probably not an ideal time to have a lazy, completely incompetent legislative branch perpetually on vacation.

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.

Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.

These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.

This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.

Every American should reject it.

i really resent the continued assertion that there’s so much anger on both sides, as if the causes of the anger are equally legitimate. we’re angry because masked maniacs are violently snatching our family and neighbors off the street, and they’re angry because we’re calling them out for it.
