I'm at work so I'm just going to lose myself in the "normalcy" of that endeavor and try not to lose my shit overly much.

Still a bit numb myself. It's what Chomsky and Parenti and the like have been warning us about all these years, I just never thought they'd ever actually go all the way like this I guess.

Right?! We're ostensibly celebrating out declaration of independence from a king days after SCOTUS imbues the Executive branch with the powers of a king. Make it make sense...

The Oligarchs have decided they're done with being beholden to the whims of the peasants. I would postulate that a power grab of this sort is a bit of a gamble in a nation as armed to the teeth as this one, only time will tell.

Dontcha hate it when otherwise good memes get spelled poorly? Hooked on Phonics really did an entire generation a great disservice I think. Tbh I didn't pay close enough attention before passing it along, my bad.

Had a hole in my life and in my heart after the untimely passing of my beloved Staffy Casey, this little love-nugget fell into my life in desperate need of my home. Meet Penny.

The Oligarchs are done fucking around, they're just gonna sweep away our pesky and decidedly inconvenient democracies and inflict some sort of harsh Neo-Feudalism on the wretched masses.

Been saying it for years, the country was founded on rich white dudes not wanting to pay taxes and that's what it's kinda always been about.

The Supreme Court is celebrating the 4th of July by reminding us that the entire point of this country was killing millions for a tax break for a few rich people.

I’m not sure there’s anything you can say about a society that wants to protect kids from Anne Frank’s Diary but won’t protect them from guns.
