WSJ is not my first source of news, but this story came across my news feed and I thought it was worth throwing this shit grenade over the wall. Just imagine the triumphant return of Ronny “Platform Boots” DeFuckface.

Ugh, we’re in the upside down.

Am I crazy or does Kash Patel’s necktie from his official DoD photo feature paddle boarders? Admittedly, it’s the least concerning thing about this whole situation, but I feel like I need an answer. What’s the reason?? Did he not get the official photo memo? Was it the deep state????

Here we go-🚨🚨🚨

They’re coming after reproductive healthcare in Ohio, even though we voted to protect it.

You can’t say we didn’t warn you this was coming.

THIS IS WILDLY INFURIATING!!!

This simple chart I made using data from Lazard, USEIA shows the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) including consumer prices and transmission infrastructure costs. Solar (even with storage) outcompetes coal and natural gas. Clean energy isn’t just greener—it’s smarter for your wallet and the grid.

In Ishmael, Daniel Quinn challenged us to rethink the stories we tell ourselves—the myths of progress, control, & human dominance. Those myths are cracking: climate chaos, inequality, political decay. The question isn’t whether they’ll collapse—it’s what story we’ll choose to write next.
The Book • Ishmael.org, the work & philosophy of Daniel Quinn
Ishmael the novel. Ishmael teaches that which all humans need to learn - must learn - if our species, and the rest of life on Earth is to survive.

CEO's of giant companies - Walmart, Autozone, Lowe's and more - are prepping America: Trump’s Tariffs will increase your prices.

Funny how they're sounding the alarm AFTER the election.

That was intentional for the most furious of reasons...

In May my daughter is graduating a year early from high school so this was likely our last “childhood era” Thanksgiving with her before she moves out, possibly abroad this summer. She’s always wanted to order Chinese takeout for Thanksgiving and that’s exactly what we did. It was glorious. No dishes

Under the Biden administration, veteran homelessness has decreased by 11.7% since 2020, reaching a record low in 2024. In contrast, during the Trump administration, it fluctuated, with a 1.5% increase in 2017 & a 5.4% decrease in 2018. The progress under Biden speaks volumes. Still, more to do.

Remember the thousands of homeless veterans across the country. Many are down on their luck, battling mental health challenges or addiction—none of which are reasons to cast them aside. Take a few minutes to visit a local shelter or kitchen and show gratitude through action. They deserve it.

This Thanksgiving, let’s remember the hundreds of migrant workers who make the feast possible. From harvesting cranberries and sweet potatoes to packing produce and processing turkeys, their labor is essential. They deserve more than thanks—they deserve fair wages, safe conditions, and respect.

Donald Trump wants you to believe that he is all powerful and that if you fight back you will lose.

He wants you to believe that if you fight back you face danger.

It is time for us to build not a temporary resistance but a long term opposition.

Trump won the popular vote by 1.5% this year, which according to @piersmorgan.bsky.social was Democrats getting "pounded into total, shameful, humiliating oblivion."

@briantylercohen.bsky.social: "Would you have said the same thing about [Trump] in 2020 who lost by a 4.5% margin nationally?"

"No."

To my fellow Coloradans:

Coordinated elections in Colorado may not be sexy but they shape your community. School boards, city councils, tax measures—this is where your vote has the most direct impact.

Just a year away! NOV 4, 2025! Register, research, and VOTE! Local matters!

Democrats don’t have to choose between bold media strategies, fresh communicators, ending gerontocracy, or engaging young voters—we can do it all. Investing in new media, connecting with young people on real issues, and advancing policies that matter aren’t mutually exclusive. They’re how we win.

Democracy doesn’t run on vibes—it runs on you. If you’re sitting out, guess what? The loudest, dumbest voices are making all the decisions. Civic engagement isn’t optional; it’s self-defense. Show up, speak out, and make sure the clowns don’t run the circus.
