Since extended use periods or uninterrupted uptime can destabilize & degrade OS performance, I power cycled the glitchass U.S. Govt. Tried turning it off first, then unplugged/replugged it, hard rebooting each time.

No joy, still fucked. Guess we need to uninstall it. Womp-wommmp.

A lesson we learned when conservatives renamed the Affordable Care Act "Obamacare": whenever you have the opportunity to hang policy decisions you don't like around someone's neck, you take it.

Half of the United States has been slowly and carefully inculcated by Fox News to believe that the other half of the country is their enemy and out to ruin their lives. Once this was established, it didn't take long for those viewers to value hurting these other Americans over helping themselves.

The word entitlement means you are entitled to it for whatever reason. I’m entitled to live in my house because I own it. Same reason I’m entitled to social security and Medicare, I paid for it. It’s not a dirty word.
Social Security is NOT an entitlement when every single working adult has paid out of their paychecks into it. This motherf*cker & the GOP have no BUSINESS calling it entitlement. You f*ck w/ that money, you f*ck with all of us & we'll end your sorry a$$es! #DownWithTrumpMuskandtheGOP

"Refugee Thanksgiving"
Norman Rockwell, 1943
Oil on canvas
Saturday Evening Post cover 11.27.43

FDR's 1941 State of the Union address inspired this Rockwell painting. In it, Roosevelt outlined four freedoms all Americans should have:
+ speech
+ worship
+ freedom from want
+ fearlessness

Mr. Grissom doesn't just paste up good copy. Past iterations of his goodness include advocating for a compassionate broadening of end-of-life options and lobbying the church for reckoning around white supremacy.

I've been waiting for the Grant Grissoms to show up and speak with their whole chests.
Have you heard about the full-page ad in the NYT where elder statesman-citizen Grant Grissom dresses down the sitting clown-in-chief?

It's a banger.

I did a little bit of info gathering, and Mr. Grissom is a writer from PA.

NEW: A source tells me that response teams for FEMA set to deploy to the South Carolina wildfires are unable to travel because their government issued travel cards have had their limits reduced to $1. FEMA response team cards were supposed to be exempt.

You can either support the United States of America and our democracy, or you can support trump.

You cannot do both.

Folks are frustrated with Dems in Congress right now.

Here’s my solution - get the hell out of DC and hold some hearings.

I love town halls, but we need to focus on people right now. Have folks come testify about how these cuts are affecting them.

Get local media there.

Make it real.

Physically pains me.
It’s horrifying that it’s come to this, but as someone with a deep affinity for Europe I feel moved seeing that continent come together to try to save itself in the absence of any meaningful aid from the totalitarian regime that’s in the midst of taking over the United States through an illegal coup

Well alright! This is super encouraging. Thank you, shareholders of America, for guiding corporate structures toward some semblance of good peopling.

We know that deep pockets have big trouble navigating it themselves for some reason, and you're over there doing the Lord's Work!
💥 BREAKING: At John Deere's annual shareholders meeting today, shareholders overwhelmingly rejected an anti-DEI proposal brought by the same group that targeted Costco and Apple. An anti-DEI proposal from the NCPPR received less than 1 percent of votes.

Someone blocked me for responding to them after they engaged with me first? Without coming in hot? Whuck?

Is that how it works out here? Please tell me that's not the whole tenor of this joint, cause that's foolishness. World, get yourself snatched or come with directions, shit.
