If the media won't report on it, we need to personally tell everyone we know. The msm is making themselves obsolete, and it's time we learned to bypass them.

This from the great @sulliview.bsky.social on the media's anemic (or non-) coverage of the massive No Kings movement is such a great point

Male bees, or drones, don’t do any work in the hive. They make up roughly ten percent of the colony’s population, and they spend their whole lives eating honey and waiting for the opportunity to mate.

Not a small group, mister. Not a violent group. But not a happy group. We don’t know how else to save our country but to put our peaceful bodies in the streets. 🇺🇸

Wow shooting unarmed men of God is not enough for this little gasbag

Maybe he’ll be able to order donuts when he becomes a real boy.

JD Vance isn’t stupid, but he thinks you are

Vice President JD Vance was a busy boy on Sunday, hitting the network shows with his patented combination of petulance and bullying. Not content with threatening the country with an expanded police .....

Some say arming lunatics & the resulting murders they commit is simply the price we must pay to protect the freedom of armed lunatics to commit murders.

Let’s remember all the victims of senseless gun violence.

In Memory of
MELISSA HORTMAN
Former Minnesota House Speaker
1970 - 2025
Taken far too soon in a targeted attack.
A voice for justice, clean energy, and equality.
We honor her legacy, leadership, and courage.

happy bday poet E. E. Cummings, b.1894, Cambridge, MA.

“To be nobody but
yourself in a world
which is doing its best day and night to make you like
everybody else means to fight the hardest battle
which any human being can fight and never stop fighting.”

I just want him to keep working on ordering donuts like a human.
And he’s never gonna make it in stand-up.
Cut him off again, George.
