People who wanted fiery, outspoken, progressive young men in the Democratic: here you go.

This morning on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial I said it plain: Liberty. Justice. For ALL of us.

We show up for each other — with a vision for the future. Even when it’s hard—especially then. #WorldPride

These militarist ICE raids are the actual government oppression that right wingers dreamed was happening during Covid. They are not up in arms like they were about masking, go figure.

I tried to do a version of this report that @warren.senate.gov did, but gave up. The task was too overwhelming!!

Two-plus full pages, 34 of 130 entries, focus on the regulatory help Musk got after buying the Presidency for Trump. (This is just a selection.)

www.warren.senate.gov/imo/media/do...
38. X deleted the account of Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) Commissioner Richard Trumka Jr. after he posted about President Trump’s allegedly illegal firings of Democratic CPSC commissioners. 39. The Trump Administration fired Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) commissioners after EEOC investigated Tesla for alleged racial harassment and retaliation at the company’s Fremont Facility. 40. The Trump Administration plans to cut potentially thousands of EPA employees, after the EPA found that SpaceX violated the Clean Water Act, investigated Tesla’s actions at its Austin Facility, and investigated an xAI facility in Tennessee for air pollution. 41. The Trump Administration began requiring any EPA spending greater than $50,000 to obtain DOGE approval, potentially allowing Musk to slow down environmental enforcement actions, like past investigations into Tesla and SpaceX for hazardous waste dumping and other alleged activity. 42. The Trump Administration attempted to fire hundreds of FAA employees, including some who directly contribute to air safety, after the FAA required SpaceX to abide by environmental requirements. 43. Even before Trump took office, Musk successfully pressured FAA Administrator Michael Whitaker — who regulated Musk companies — to resign, though his term was not set to end until 2028. 44. The Head of the Office of Commercial Space Transportation within the FAA, which Musk threatened to sue for “regulatory overreach” against SpaceX, departed under DOGE’s early retirement offer

Greed can be very costly.

Some would put themselves at a disadvantage to make sure you have nothing

It’d be pretty cool if aspirational masculinity was just like. Being a gentle, funny dad and a loving partner and having jumper cables and a lug wrench on hand and maybe learning how to build and paint sets for school plays instead of being a sentient crypto ham hock with a creatine addiction

I have stolen this, because with memes like this, it's hard to find an origin, and it was shared with me at random. (Cue somebody replying to this saying they found the source)
An edit of two screencaps from The Simpsons. They have been edited. Panel one is a woman offering Homer Simpson the ability to "download this image as a webp? It's got better compression and better image quality!" Homer turns around to find endless signs: "We don't take webp uploads." "Not compatible with webp." "Can't open webp." "Error: webp is not a recognized image format." "NO WEBP" etc.

I’d like to escape to the timeline where Ray Romano was cast in NewsRadio

No Joe Rogan
No Everybody Loves Raymond
No Big Bang Theory (CBS gives up on three-camera sitcoms)
No Phil Hartman death (Ray Romano saves his life)
No Iraq War (Al Gore wins on NewsRadio’s popularity)

Just endless joy

Missouri Republicans invoked a rarely used rule to end a Dem filibuster on a measure overturning the abortion rights amendment passed by voters in Nov.

This was immediately followed by another use of the rule, this time to pass a bill repealing the earned sick leave that was also approved by voters

There is an entire political movement that believes the statement “if you work full-time in America, you should be able to pay your bills and have a savings account with your paycheck” is radical.

We must come to an agreement that it’s not radical to demand that.

Kurt Vonnegut man
Kurt Vonnegut tells his wife he's going out to buy an envelope: "Oh, she says, well, you're not a poor man. You know, why don't you go online and buy a hundred envelopes and put them in the closet? And so I pretend not to hear her. And go out to get an envelope because I'm going to have a hell of a good time in the process of buying one envelope. I meet a lot of people. And see some great looking babies. And a fire engine goes by. And I give them the thumbs up. And I'll ask a woman what kind of dog that is. And, and I don't know. The moral of the story is — we're here on Earth to fart around And, of course, the computers will do us out of that. And what the computer people don't realize, or they don't care, is we're dancing animals. You know, we love to move around. And it's like we're not supposed to dance at all anymore."

This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother.

Here's what I'm calling the Fake News Prayer (based on the popular Narcissist's Prayer). A prayer for those who trust no institution — except the last meme they saw.
The Fake News Prayer: That didn’t happen. And if it did, it’s not what it looks like. And if it is, it’s being taken out of context. And if it’s not, the media’s clearly biased. And if they’re not, it’s not a big deal. And if it is, it happens on both sides. And if it doesn’t… They probably deserved it anyway.

Reading this in the voice of Kevin Spacey's character from Seven.
A Mr. Beast tweet reading: "I have a pilot living in a $2.5m private jet and if he doesn't leave for 100 days he keeps it, a cop/criminal in a jail and if they don't leave for 100 days they win $500,000, and someone living in a gym until he loses 100 pounds for $500,000. Can't wait to upload these." With a kissy face emoji at the end, horribly.

Rep. Mark Boyko wasn't inactive after he lost a bid for state Senate in 2016.

He got elected to the Kirkwood School Board, helped steer the district through COVID-19, and got elected to the House last year.

The Kirkwood Dem talks about first impressions of the MO House on Politically Speaking:
State Rep. Mark Boyko on why Missouri Republicans are wrong on education policy

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.
