This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

Mushmallow has been added to the Scent Lending Library at Fogue Studios & Gallery in Seattle - a wonderful installation that goes thru Dec. (and possibly into 2026)! #clstperfumes #scentlendinglibrary #perfumesky

“They’re doing/supporting evil for the money” is mostly cope. It implies we can get them to stop by blocking the cash, or simply paying them more.

But it’s worse. They’re into it, doing/supporting the evil action for its own sake.

That means it’s harder. They need to be outnumbered and defeated.

Somewhere out there someone who’s the best at what they do is terrified that they have imposter syndrome while a bunch of barely literate pedophiles are very calmly running the world

the democratic party establishment hasnt learned a damn thing since they voted to allow george w bush to invade iraq. not one thing.

In the midst of all that we are facing, I want us to think about who we are being told to look to for understanding in this moment, who is being propped up as the voice of wisdom, and ask how right were they in predicting this, a year ago, 5, 8 years ago, and then ask why they are being centered now

You could write a huge book on the 1000s of "scandals" about Democrats that FoxNews and the right have propagated over the past 30 years and it would be like writing a book describing 1000s of farts: each one is stinky, transient, lacks substance and makes you dumber for thinking about it.

I can only assume that everyone in the Trump administration and the voters supporting him must have watched every movie and heard every story and said to themselves “that villain seems cool”
How does one miss the point of the last 2000 years?

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

The anti-vaxx network is not about vaccines; it is a global right-wing network aiming to dismantle every government, using vaccine mandates as a preface to unite people against governmental interference. RFK Jr.'s talk about food/environment/diseases is performative because it's not the goal.
