Sooner or later, if history is any guide, Kekius Maximus becomes Kekius Icarus. Let’s hope sooner over later.
For the record, I understand the assignment. I voted for the woman who wanted to invest in people buying their own homes for the first time and build up the middle class.

I’m not going to be drawn into time wasting arguments with strangers on social media. I will however, be doing what I’ve always done- attending school board meetings and borough meetings and city council meetings, being where my elected officials are, and where my neighbors in need are.
Demand accountability and help whoever you can. Show up.

In the days, months, and years to come, people are going to try to make very abnormal, abhorrent things seem normal.
There is an expression that goes “Little by little and then all at once." Some changes will be noticeable. But many changes may be nearly imperceptible on their own however when added together, they will be shocking.
This is by design, to make those who object to the little changes creating the shocking shifts seem unreasonable. Do not be afraid of being seen as unreasonable.

He’s going to try and do everything he said he would, which far too many tried to minimize.
Even though his birthright citizenship executive order is very obviously unconstitutional, the way this will play out is that his administration will start taking rights, such as not issuing passports or worse, deport people or hold them in detention.
“Better than Biden or Harris” isn’t going to age too well.

Maybe he thinks that if he keeps people up in arms about immigrants they won't notice he doesn’t have plans to lower their grocery prices.
MAGA doesn’t care if someone came here or is here legally. They don’t want non-white immigrants, period, no matter how they got here.
Maybe this could take a higher profile in people’s field of attention than an app ban.

People can’t just declare themselves journalists or reporters, by the way. Same as how you can’t just declare “bankruptcy” or anything else that has some bare minimum requirements.
So if you get kicked out of a press briefing for being disruptive, you got kicked out for being disruptive. And you’re not a journalist.

Zero sympathy to any business owner impacted who voted in Trump. They all heard his campaign promises. His supporters begged for this and now they’ll have to live with the repercussions.
Food prices are artificially low because of this. We’re all about to find out the true cost of things.
MAGA was all worried “the gubmint” was going to make everyone vegan. They’ll be there due to their own vote.

PEPFAR has saved over 25 million lives and has had a powerful effect on slowing the spread of AIDS around the world, helping the world get the epidemic under control.
One particularly homophobic right group - The Heritage Foundation - claims that AIDS is a “lifestyle disease” (yes, beyond ignorant.)
This is what we get with Republicans in charge. Thanks, non-Democratic voters. And fuck off, Jim Risch.

I’m old enough to remember that Republicans said Kamala Harris was too close to famous people, but maybe none of these guys count as famous?
Anyway, glad to see Trump is working hard on getting that inflation down. If this doesn’t work, nothing will.

This headline is bad. Republicans are mostly interested in dragging everyone backwards. What a waste of time to have to have a debate about women in the military and diversity. Both strengthen us.
But Hegseth said he would only use merit for promotion and hiring. I absolutely support that. Using that criteria, he definitely should not be Secretary of Defense then. He fails in every respect.
Hegseth softens stance on women in combat, calls for policies already in place:

People in California are losing everything and half the left is posting about Gaza being the reason California is on fire and lying about Karen Bass and half the right is posting about DEI firewomen and racist bullshit and also lying about Karen Bass. You all know you both look like fucking assholes, right?
Also, there’s no water department prepared for the whole area burning at one time.

Since we lost, I just expect them to get rid of the ACA anyway, but once again, elections have consequences.
Fuck all the people who were eligible to vote and didn’t vote for Kamala Harris and/or spent their time saying both parties are the same, that Harris wasn’t perfect enough for you, or that the economy made you do it.
You’re contributing to killing people, too.
