Oddly enough, I saw this one coming back in February, but my Congress critters sure didn't.

Fresh sweet bedding in the chicken coop. On to the horse stalls. Scrubbing mangers is the next priority. 😳 Rex likes to chew on his and it's kind of gross.

Actually we don't need to let MAGA define our talking points. Refuting their bullshit pulls us into their manure pile. Elevate.

Jeffries is normalizing fascism by elevating Mike to the level of a worthy opponent. Again he misses the point by a mile.

There are a shit ton of pundits explaining how everything other people do is wrong. Fuck 'em. Nobody owns activism or protest. That's the whole point. Do your thing and stop crapping on other people who are out there.

Canada's economy is growing, but that growth is driven by “socially useless” industries. Banks and landlords account for 15% and 20% of GDP growth, respectively, making real estate speculation the single largest driver of growth in Canada—larger than manufacturing, retail, or oil and gas.

Canadians are on year three of a people’s recession

The disconnect between big economic indicators and Canadians’ day-to-day experience is a gap our political leaders seem unable or unwilling to bridge. Indeed, parliamentarians have gotten in the habit...

Drug use =\= addiction. While you can't become addicted to a drug without using it, many users are not addicts. Prohibition didn't end alcoholism; it just turned every casual, social drinker into a criminal. Policy needs to focus on real issues.

It's my day off, so I've gotta go cut the wood my husband piled on the trailer and go pick up some round bales for my horses and some feed for my chickens.

Then I have to go to town to pick up a burner phone and some poster board.

Now that Trump has delegated his preposterous politicking for a Nobel Peace Prize to sycophants, he can finally get around to declaring unilateral war on Venezuela, a war crime, as he murders Colombian civilians at sea, another war crime, and endorses collective punishment in Gaza, another war crime

It’s funny how people say “they’re waiting for us to get violent so they can use violence against us.”
No, they’re not! They’ve already been violent. They’re not waiting for anything.

Frogs and clarinets are so terrifying? Bring out the tubas and bagpipes. That's the heavy ammunition.

ICE has arrested a mother of a three-year-old for playing her clarinet outside an ICE facility in Portland, as reported by her husband.

MAGA are those kids on the beach who just run around stomping other people's sand castles because they lack the skill or patience to build their own.

“If the democrats don’t let us be unchecked lords of America we are going to defund everything they enjoy, like for example continuing to have a society.”

Hm. I’m gonna have to go ahead and say, in the spirit of the Founding Fathers, go fuck yourselves.

Curriculum standardization, standardized testing, underpaid teachers, lack of student accountability, inadequate school infrastructure, and toxic administration - who could imagine that would result in poor student achievement?
