America's Golden Age!
Fox guest on how to save money during the holidays:
"Remember, adults don't need gifts. Focus on the people in your life who are aged 3 to 18. Grandma doesn't need slippers. If they don't live by you, don't get them a gift."

REPORTER: We know the president moved forward with mass layoffs. We're also learning there were significant cuts to staff at special education services. Are you comfortable with those cuts?
MIKE JOHNSON: I haven't seen the specifics of that and I don't know

We need more leaders, Dems and (come ON!) even Republicans to speak up this way.
Donald Trump is breaching the Constitution and breaking the law.
A show of force so he can militarize our cities because of the 2026 elections.
We need to stand up together and speak up.

In fact, Republicans control both chambers of Congress. If they want to abolish the Department of Education by constitutional means, and then face voters to explain their decision, they can. But they haven't. They've relied on Trump to act by unconstitutional dictat.

We adopted our Talulah from there a dozen years ago. They’re a wonderful shelter.

This sweet, sad marshmallow really needs a foster!
Thumper is having a hard time at the shelter, often squishing himself into corners or under blankets to feel safer.
He lost his home for the 2nd time in 2 years after his adopter became too ill to care for him & is so stressed he's barely eating 🧵

I’m just fully realizing that the whole of downtown DC is being shutdown all weekend for a Trump birthday-commandeered ego parade that’s only going to be 8 blocks long. 8 blocks! $40 million+. Days of disruption. I honor the U.S. Army’s 250th … but this was not the way to do it.

One of the best things about Posting is you never know what obscure preoccupations your followers have. There will be a guy who has followed you for years and never said anything but then one day you disparage applesauce and he activates like a sleeper agent and dedicates his life to destroying you

You can't imprison everyone with a dissenting thought.
Or inconvenient factual observation.
But fear teaches self censorship. It's a scalable system of control.
