I AM ANTIFA. Just like the frog.

politics, prog rock, history. maybe even in that order.

note: no photo, no posts, no description, no follow. I don't make the rules. oh wait, I do.

Crypto is a Ponzi scheme. Instablock if you mention it.
Since Stephen Miller's family escaped the virulently anti-Semitic area of Russia later occupied by Nazi Germany, we can in fact agree that he is recreating the conditions and terrors of his broken homeland.

a review of Say Nothing from the Atlantic

I guess we're all wondering what is in those phone records that Lindsey Graham is so hysterical about.

It's not the content of conversations (which was not disclosed). It's the numbers he called. Interesting.

anyone planning to ask the White House about the stock market tanking today?

Just letting you all know so you can block her.

It's like everyone woke up this morning and figured out that even though the shutdown is over and the planes are flying, the president is still incompetent, crazy, and vengeful.

Neither can legally consent to sex, so no, there is no difference.

So there's no actual "tariff shelf" where the money is sitting?

So Trump was lying all along?

How very....believable.

I'm guessing that if you "get reported to HR all the time" then the issue is not that your workplace is too femininized but that you're a complete asshole who offends everyone you work with

There are days when social media is so worth it.

So if most of my income comes from scamming seniors and robbing banks, it's legal as long as I disclose it?

Love the legal Ted Talks that the GOP keep giving us. It's okay to storm the Capitol as long as you're mad about election results, it's not okay to wear a frog costume to protest. Got it.

Damn, they stole the plot of my book. Should I sue for plagiarism?

If we're charging people when they lie, every Republican is filing for bankruptcy tomorrow.

Also: Canada didn't lie. Reagan actually opposed tariffs.

Tell me again about how Trump doesn't want to be a dictator

I don't have time to read it now, I'm preparing for class tomorrow. Coincidentally, here are some notes:

It's possible to have different opinions about history. Mine is that Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, et al can call themselves communists till the cows come home. It doesn't change anything.

Another terrorist at today's #NoKings protest in Fort Collins, Colorado today.
October 19, 2025 at 1:28 AM
My guess is 8000 people turned out for the Fort Collins #NoKings protests.

We marched for a mile and then merged with the back of the marchers. Over a mile of people, 8 abreast. Amazing!

Just another violent criminal protesting Trump on #NoKings day
