@LifeTimeCooking I generally like that genre, but it was just not done well.
@StillIRise1963 #goals? LOL!
@StillIRise1963 You could if you declared yourself a Republican. 🤣
@LifeTimeCooking The Changeling was disappointing in so many ways.
Well done! A thoughtful invocation bereft of superstition. https://www.rgj.com/story/news/2024/01/16/satanic-prayer-opens-washoe-county-commission-meeting/72247424007/
@taylorlorenz It can be all of the above. We know Putin and other state actors are doing their best to sow chaos and confusion whatever way they can. The Israeli-Palestine conflict is just one thing they can use no matter what the truth is.
We need to make it a top priority that Trump and the Republicans are removed from power. They are posed to make the Israeli-Palestine conflict seem like nothing and like the rise in Hitler lead to WWII, the rise of Trump will lead to WWIII
@tultican #TheHeadLiar told the truth when he said the Republican Party is dead, replaced by (anti-Democratic, anti-constitution, pro- fascist) MAGA (Shitballs)- ready to fuck up our lives if we let them. 😬

Excellent from @sykescharlie: "Over the next months as anti-anti-Trump commentators make their transition back to rationalization and appeasement, they will assure us the Senate will serve as a check on Trump’s excesses and predations."
TL; DR: It won't.

Red🩸states reject immigration reform that'd allow more immigrants willing to do the work with dignity. Instead, elected leaders insist on employing children💔, which is illegal in many cases. Will the DOL enforce the regulations?
The right-wing think tank set 30 policy priorities, including removing barriers to have 14- and 15-year-olds join the labor force.
