Yep all election related arrests from 2020 forward have been GOP voters. Big shocker that they accused democrats of exactly what they were doing the whole time.

I'm a geologist and this isn't cute or funny. Rocks only climb trees like this when they're very stressed.

By and large, the American press is not telling us how dangerous Trump is. He’s telling us himself; but many still pretend this will be a normal election. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/aug/30/trump-interview-jail-political-opponents-glenn-beck

Now Ron DeSantis can’t rebuild

It’s against God’s will.

You can tell Hollywood is on strike.
There hasn't been a new Batman movie in over a month now.

Are you in northern California and looking for a new friend? We've been fostering kittens rescued from a nearby colony and have 4 more that need homes (we've rehomed 10 so far this summer). All of them make wonderful pets and are used to kids, dogs, and other cats.

The rescues are all full and we don't have a way to find homes for these without just surrendering them to the SPCA. We've tapped our network of friends and family and hope Mastodon can help.

"What the fuck am I supposed to do with all this office space?"

is a more sincere question than

"How do we get people back to the office?"

It's weird that I found out about the massive size of this #wildfire in Northern #Greece via Al Jazeera, you'd think it would be bigger news here in Europe. I think if the victims of this wildfire had been tourists instead of refugees it would be all over the news...

Imagine if the US military was not allowed to negotiate prices on weapons.

Now replace "US military" with "Medicare" -- and replace "weapons" with "prescription drugs."

Medicare can FINALLY negotiate on 10 key drugs now.

Shouldn't Medicare be able to negotiate on ALL drugs?

Kyle Rittenhouse is being sued by the estate of the mentally disturbed man Rittenhouse shot four times and killed.

Rittenhouse’s response:

“These lawsuits are making it harder and harder for me to move on with my life”

The amount of cope white men feel after doing something horrible could power a city

Do you know what else makes it hard to move on with your life?

Being murdered

So that’s why he did it

"Ds aren't fighting for you and Rs certainly arent either"

No, actually, Dems *are* fighting for me. They're not "two sides of the same buttered piece of bread." Millions of lives, including mine, depend on which of the two parties wins each election.

You said "We need a third party... That's what West's campaign is about." No, that's false. In every election, either a Dem wins, or a R does. Cornel West's only effect on the 2024 presidential election will be to help Trump win.

Democratic socialism is a political philosophy that holds great appeal for many who believe in government's power to improve people's lives.

Sadly, Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is a group of batshit crazy lunatics. Among other abhorrent positions, they blame Putin's genocide in Ukraine on the US. They've repeatedly called for disarming Ukraine's defenses against Russia's unprovoked invasion, and they oppose even sanctioning Russia.
