So what do we have? An oligarchy mashed with a kakistocracy littered with facist overtones and gushing Christian nationalism reeking of autocratic despotism sleeping with authoritarianism lead by a malignant narcissistic sociopath. Quite the accomplishment America.

GOP Sen Lummis says she’s changed her mind after the new Epstein revelations today: “Initially my reaction to all this was, I don’t care. I don’t see what the big deal is. But now I see what the big deal is. The members of Congress who were pushing this were not wrong!”

So watching all the Star Wars movies in chronological order beginning with The Phantom Menace. An outer space, forceful marathon. I don't what attracts me so but I'm a huge fan. Andor and The Mandalorian and I am hooked.

True!

True!
Music, the notes, the orchestration, the beat and the rhythm are the true magic of art. Classical composers added no lyrics because music is a personal experience and we attribute our own meanings to the art. And that music has survived centuries simply because once heard it belongs to you.
one of music’s quiet tricks is that you don’t have to speak the language to feel the weight of it.
free jazz figured that out a long time ago.

Dacha, Auschwitz anyone?
AOC on DHS Warehouses: I think every American should be alarmed. They are building—and have built—a black box system that disappears people, both immigrants and U.S. citizens alike.

Does anyone really believe that after sitting on the Epstein files for years they are a true representation of the sleaze & predation & corruption? This administration tells the truth about nothing. They protect pedophiles, crooks, grifters, liars & traitors at all costs. Don't believe anything

We have an ignorance problem in America. Our education system is system is not about educating, it's about indoctrinating.
🚨BREAKING: Puerto Rico has been part of the United States since 1898, and people still act confused that Puerto Ricans are American.
States that joined after Puerto Rico:
• Oklahoma — 1907
• New Mexico — 1912
• Arizona — 1912
• Alaska — 1959
• Hawaii — 1959
Yet somehow this is still news to folks.

Great answer.
“But I didn’t understand a word he said.” Guess what, that’s the experience of many immigrants when they arrive in a new country, including the United States. You get humbled. Then you work hard and start understanding. We could all use that experience

In the Epstein Files that Congress was able to review today, trumps name was all over them & victims were as young as 9 years old

I've been painting these very difficult paint by number canvases. It started as a distraction from a severe burn from neck to navel from a kitchen accident. My own creativity disappeared but I still needed to paint so I tried these. Now I'm addicted. Girl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer

They twist themselves into pretzels and tie themselves into knots to find something to whine about. What law enforcement agency in America wears masks, shows a badge and name plate and breaks into houses, cars and arrests (kidnaps) people with no probable cause warrant? None.
REP. STEIL: Some Dems demands put at risk the safety of members of law enforcement
CNBC: You mean like taking off their masks and having a badge that shows who they are?
STEIL: Well, they're known to their supervisors
CNBC: No other law enforcement officials in the US are allowed to wear masks
