I want to talk cats, TS, movies, music, and knitting, and instead I have to talk about the end of our democracy. Needing secret gardens in my mind.

Figure skating world championships were considered to be for men only until 1902, when Madge Syers showed up and took home silver and the ISU went "whooooops guess we need to segregate them."

It happened again in 1992 Olympic skeet shooting: Zhang Shan took gold and then they segregated the event.

This would be fantastic
I actually think the dems should attend the SOTU, wait till the 2nd sentence, and then walk out en masse, that'll do it, there'll be no address, he'll just have a meltdown on national Tv

You’re on your own, kid. You always have been.
the “silver lining” of high egg costs, says the secretary of agriculture, is that anyone with a backyard can build a coop and start raising chickens:

The rumors are true: The proposed SAVE Act, now considered a priority for Republicans in the House, will make it harder, if not practically impossible, for millions of women to vote.
The Christian Nationalist Plot to Disenfranchise Women Voters
The SAVE Act, which purports to fend off the phantasmal threat of voter fraud, would throw millions of women off the voting rolls.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Eating the pieces. Yup.
Correct. He’s not capable of playing multidimensional chess. Or chess. Or checkers. Or tic-tac-toe. As one of his aides put it during Shit Show I, “he’s just eating the pieces” on the board.

Nothing he does is strategic. He’s purely guided by narcissistic, sociopathic impulses at all times.
Bingo. I keep telling people I know that there’s no grand plan here, or to anything he does. He’s not playing 4D chess. He’s a fascistic sociopath that seeks adoration and applause for everything he does, and he wants to be the focus of EVERYTHING.

It’s that simple, folks, don’t overthink it.

putin is a war criminal. i have no problem with the us president (or macron or scholz) talking with him. but under no
circumstances should his crimes be normalized or white washed.

what’s happening right now is a stain on the united states and its role in the world.

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.

Had such a nice Taylor Swift community on Threads. Cats and TS were the only things to soothe my election-broken soul. Now Zuck has to f*uck it up again and I need to start all over.
