It should be illegal for law enforcement to wear masks and not show ID.
This makes it too easy to impersonate law enforcement and murder people in their homes.

I’m thinking @chrismurphyct.bsky.social would make an excellent President, although we might have to clone him to keep his amazing ability to call out BS in the Senate!

There were howls of protest and denial from the GOP any time we pointed out that Republicans want to cut Social Security.
Now the most powerful official in the White House goes on TV and calls it "the big one to eliminate."

These are important wording choices. When you describe lawbreaking this way, you’re communicating to the reader that sure, maybe it’s TECHNICALLY illegal, but it can’t REALLY be that important. Nobody describes street criminals as “unbound by legal niceties.”
Not "legal niceties." What they are doing is illegal! www.nytimes.com/2025/01/30/u...

Is there a lawsuit in place yet to block Elon and his lackeys from having access to sensitive government systems? If not, there should be.
This is bad. BAD bad. Elon and his people should NEVER have access to this system.

For the duration of his term, I'm calling him the Felon-in-Chief, abbreviated FIC. And I'd rather shove a wet noodle up a bobcat's ass in a telephone booth than hear him speak or see his image.

Every time we see a #kaygranger or #feinstein situation, people start crying for term limits. I’d rather see age limits. If you’re going to be 80 during your term, presuming you win, you can’t run.
I’m about to turn 65, and itching to retire. Officials should make room for younger, fresher ideas.

I took an art class in college. For one of my projects I tacked a ziplock bag full of peanut butter to a matted art board. It was silly then, but today maybe I could have sold it for over 6 million dollars.
