Feature not a bug, folks: Bankrupt tens of thousands of American farmers, force them to sell their land for pennies on the dollar and then resell it to whatever Middle Eastern country has showered Trump with the most compliments and gold. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Trump promised farmers a bailout. Time is running out.

The White House blames Democrats and the government shutdown for the delay of their multibillion-dollar bailout, but that’s just one of many problems the administration faces.

Bullshit. Nvidia WANTS to sell to China. Trump doesn’t give a damn. China will have that chip by years end.

There’s some truth here. Times like this are when big, foundational changes are actually possible. Something has to be rebuilt after it’s destroyed. Universal health care? UBI? Term limits? Go big or go home, Dems.

Damn. Backs, man. They weren’t made to carry us past age 50 or so. Glad you’re getting care for it.

Somewhere in China, a mother is reminding her child to finish their supper because there's poor starving children in America.

Sympathies from a far flung massage therapist…take care of yourself, Rick.

Trump is gonna haaaate this. Obama has the raucous, adoring, cheering rally crowds that Trump is so hungry for (and has been working so hard to get at his military speeches with zero success.) And the content is 100% about what an incompetent asshole Trump is. I love it.

I offered the kids candy or a potato. Only one kid chose the potato. I respect the hell out of that kid.

At an ICE protest yesterday in Chicago, a protester took out their phone and snapped some pics. A few folks hid their faces. Fair, reasonable. I just can’t fool myself enough to believe they can’t find me if they really want to. Take the pic, post it, whatevs.

I just learned *today* that the Dutch purposely designed Stroopwafels to be the size they are so that you can set them on top of your coffee mug and let the steam from your beverage soften the cookie before eating it. Cool, huh?

I went to an anti ICE protest in Mt. Prospect outside Chicago today with 20 other people. A bunch of folks have been disappeared out of that suburb in the last few weeks, like many others. These are not rare one offs, folks.

Umm, the average monthly payment for one person here in Illinois is $157. That’s a few bucks a day. Anybody here able to eat like a king on $157/month? Much less afford crack. Anybody?

Meg Raminiak @megraminiak.bsky.social · 3d

Hmm. I’m not sure that would be in ICE’s budget…

These are the jokes, folks.

Meg Raminiak @megraminiak.bsky.social · 3d

Yes. Stop looking at your phone. Hehehe…

I always make eye contact. Can’t help it. I’m the stranger people at check out lines tell their life story to. It’s a curse.

Ever get the feeling that the only reasons our enemies don’t bomb is because of pity?

Gurl, you are *committed*. Or should be committed. Either way, it’s gonna be fab.

No, you meant “After I sign that bill, I don’t need to do any actual work to govern anymore.” We all know how incredibly lazy he is and how little interest he actually has in governing.
