Barron’s upstairs in the White House seeing what stock he can short tomorrow when his old man gets home and posts some more China sh*t. Market manipulation is real.

"We have an economy where a handful of modern-day robber barons wield extraordinary power. They hold enormous control over our paychecks, our bills, our time, and our futures.

...But the good news is that nothing about any of this is inevitable." - Lina Khan

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

Mike Johnson should feel so proud. Maybe he should reward himself by logging into his Grindr & ordering a hookup.

Airports are starting to refuse to air Trump's propaganda. On the same day that a second House member broke with Mike Johnson and demanded he negotiate with dems and swear in that duly elected House member he's refused to swear in. It's all coming apart for Trump. www.joemygod.com/2025/10/seat...

Have you noticed how Mike Johnson (et al) never knows a fucking thing that the rest of the world is aware of? Is there, like, an award for The Biggest Asshole who Feigns the Most Ignorance? Does he enjoy coming across as an obtuse, ignorant, lying, cowardly scumbag, which he of course is?

REPORTER: We know the president moved forward with mass layoffs. We're also learning there were significant cuts to staff at special education services. Are you comfortable with those cuts?

MIKE JOHNSON: I haven't seen the specifics of that and I don't know

TUR: Have you met with Mike Johnson?

JEFFRIES: No

TUR: Why not?

JEFFRIES: Donald Trump has not given him permission to meet, Katy and we know that until Donald Trump gives them permission to meet, they're going to continue to hide.

That was one busy-as-hell Monday (so about the usual). But all is done now and I can relax like my fuchsias. 🌱
Purple and white fuchsias flowers. They look a bit like little fairies.

Rehmannia (the only member of its tribe) & Lindenbergia (in another monotypic tribe) are NOT parasites. The rest of the family is hemiparasitic (=green & photosynthetic, but taking water & minerals from its host) or wholly parasitic. 📷: R. piasezkii #Orobanchaceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱
