I’ve seen a lot of racist shit this week, and too many press conferences with nothing but white people standing in the background showing fealty. Then, this…….disgusted and embarrassed. Be better humans please!

I dedicate this to all of the idiots that went up for confirmation last week. Besides being totally unqualified, you are all terrible human beings.

Jim Acosta just powerfully announced on air he is leaving CNN with the words: "It is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant." He added, "Don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to the fear. Hold on to the truth and to hope." Amen. Jim will be missed.

My one wish for the inauguration is that there is a gift bag under the seats of Bezos, Zuck, Elon etc, with a single, embroidered , padded knee pad

Need to protect themselves when they are on bended knee, kissing the ring 🤷😆

Please invest the time to watch this and pass it along. My son is 22 and shared this because it “spoke to him”.

This is Sam Hyde’s “Dear Elon” video, some have called it Gen Z’s Gettysburg Address.

Deep thoughts, by Vanilla DeFunk.

Walking around Notting Hill yesterday with the family, doing touristy things.

Randomly walk by this house and realized……holy shit, this is not the vibe I need heading into 2025.

Today the great divide is not between left and right. It’s between democracy and oligarchy.

Let me explain.
The American oligarchy is back, and it’s out of control
It’s the third time in the nation’s history that a small group of hyper-wealthy people have gained political power over the rest of us. Here’s what we must do.

@marcelias.bsky.social question for you Marc, if the government shuts down for a prolonged period of time, would this be an opening for Recess Appointments? Could this be the plan behind the scenes?
