"refused to pay" - I'm guessing that I'd be talking to several well-armed policemen if I ran up a tab and skipped.

why didn't they?

seems open and shut.

why do Young Republicans, MAGAs, Christian pedophiles keep walking away from their sick behavior and everyone else suffers?

The whole point of democracy is so one person's derangement does not become everybody's problem. It's social hygiene. The fact the richest men in the West are a mix of grotty twelve year olds and deranged apocalypse fanatics is a problem, and we should be honest about it.

He can connect to anyone not predisposed to hate him because of their racism, bigotry or Zionism.

He makes the effort to find common ground and to meet people where they are.

He will be an awesome mayor.

Last night I visited four temples across Queens to celebrate the Hindu Festival of Lights, ending at Maharaja Sweets in Jackson Heights, where we gave out six kinds of delicious treats alongside some very special guests. Happy Diwali, NYC!

Trump's FTC just deleted articles by former Chair Lina Khan about the dangers of AI.

Meanwhile, Trump is fast-tracking data center permits after Big Tech gave huge donations to his inauguration.

AI is making the richest Americans even richer while everyone else pays the price.

No but I see zero evidence so far.

I think Stephen Miller does. I'm certain of that.

I don't see anyone in our military refusing orders or implying that they would fail to do anything that they were told.

Faux News is broadcast on military bases 24x7.

I'm sure there are lots of Young Republican, conservative Nazis in uniform.

I gave them no such power.

And still they are in charge.

Assuming that the animus I already have against them will be enough is dangerously naive.

What will you do to end this?

Transitional Fossil @transitfossil.bsky.social · 5h

Those seven million were wearing frog costumes.

The US military will be armed and armored.

They will outgun us. Numbers will not matter.

unfortunately this is an autocratic dictator and mob boss, not the president of the United States.

nice words, but they do not describe our current situation.

the mob boss has surrounded himself with people who want nothing more than to start murdering Americans who disagree.

Oh you're trying to say the cost of living is skyrocketing?

Donald Trump can't hear you over the sound of bulldozers demolishing a wing of the White House to build a new grand ballroom.

It is with profound sadness and grief that I share the unexpected passing of my beloved mother (and protector & advocate)

It happened suddenly, one moment with us, the next moment I got a call saying she wasn’t

She loved her sons so deeply. We are so lucky to have called her our mom.

This was only the beginning. The trees were destroyed a month ago, now the East Wing is corrupted.

The tree in the photo is the historic Jackson Magnolia, planted around 1830 during Andrew Jackson's presidency (1829-1837), based on White House records and oral history.

The White "Isengard" House.

Trees are being cut down outside the White House as construction gets under way on President Donald Trump’s $200 million ballroom, including at least one heritage tree.

Work crews were seen cutting down trees and branches around the East Wing on Tuesday.

Trump Tears Down White House Trees to Make Way for His $200M Ballroom

It is unclear how many trees will eventually have to be felled to make way for the president’s luxe extension.

I am putting money on the asshole putting bugs into the WH so Russia can listen in to everything that happens there.

I mean, isn’t that what a Russian asset would do?

And since every move he has made has been to destroy America and benefit its enemy, that would be par for the course.
