Today Josie got out of the house while workers were here and left the front door open. She explored almost the road when I snatched her up and brought her inside. Shortly after she napped. Enjoy a moment of cat zen.

A cartoon from the early 1830s mocking Andrew Jackson as a king.

A cartoon from the early 1830s mocking Andrew Jackson as a king.

Want to hear re: a president who wanted his opponents physically beaten & was accused of wanting to be king?

My lecture on Andrew Jackson

In this cartoon from his presidency, he’s standing on a shredded Constitution w/a book titled β€œJudiciary of the US” at his feet

The attack on Mark is another stunt by right-wing grifters to victimize a random person in an effort to use MAGA fear mongering to justify their existence. It should go without saying we should do anything possible to support his family.

Why This Essay Could Cause the University of Virginia to Shut Down How Linda McMahon’s latest β€œcompact” would do deep and permanent harm to American higher education

The β€œcompact” for higher ed is an unserious document written by unserious people from a position of spectacular ignorance. No one should take it seriously. Sadly, my bosses are taking it seriously.

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

Bray is a historian at Rutgers who received death threats after landing on Turning Points USA's Professor Watchlist. As a result, he announced he was moving to Europe. And then this happened.

This kind of harassment and abuse of scholars is Charlie Kirk's legacy and it's only getting worse.

They're about to shut down the government to protect the Epstein Files from disclosure. Whatever is in the files must be so unhinged as to be beyond imagination.

First of all, Fuck You, Hegseth. It’s literally the CONGRESSIONAL Medal of Honor. Congress can enact the β€œRemove the Stain” Act anytime it wants. Not your call Rumbo.
2nd, their place in history is indeed settled, with the Paxton Boys, the Gnadenhutten child killers, and the Sand Creek mutilators.

Trump gets humiliated at the UN, Kimmel returns, he drops further in the polls and just goes fucking crazy at the White House today. Insane new tariffs, Comey, war against his domestic opponents, shutting down the government.

He is losing it, and it’s getting dangerous out there.

If you want to understand how truly despicable Hegseth’s Wounded Knee statement is, read Heather Richardson’s book. The tensions & military build-up were driven by federal patronage, corruption, factional politics, & the GOP’s desire to control the Western states.

The GOP is worse now.

Their place in history is settled…they were guilty of being part of a genocidal machine bent on wiping out Indigenous people in North America. This is more distraction to get folks looking away from other issues.

This man is ignorant. Wounded Knee was a massacre, not a battle.

Odd, how we can’t afford to give Americans healthcare, but we can afford to drop $200,000,000,000 on Argentina with a moment’s notice.

I can not get the vaccine for Don. We are looking into vaccine tourism and finding a state where we can get them. This is utter insanity, I thought this nation was about β€œrights” and β€œfreedoms”. I would love to exercise my right to be free and elect to get vaccinated.

He’s definitely making it harder. But he wants to make it impossible.

Four years ago, I tested for COVID. I'd had dinner with someone with cancer the night before. Thanks to the vaccine, I did not give that dinner companion COVID. And I only ran a low-grade fever for a few days. Fuck that idiot RFK Jr. and the equally stupid buffoon who hired him.

I have been away from this platform for some time and have limited lots of social media interaction. So, for your enjoyment the red rocks of Sedona. I know the nation is in the grips of authoritarianism but we need to find beauty to keep grounded and sane.

Tweet from Stuart Stevens:

When Democrats take the House, they must understand they are not a governing party.
They are a dissident movement.
Act like it.
First day:
- cut off all funding of Exec. Branch
-vote to nationalize Starlink and SpaceX
-defund ICE
That's the first day.
On the second, get more aggressive.
There is nothing in the middle of the road but yellow lines and dead armadillos.

If you had told me in 2012 that Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign manager would be posting like this 13 years later i would not have believed you

Trump said tonight he is going to issue an executive order purporting to require enforcement of voter ID rules: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/u...

The president has no such authority to order how elections are conducted.
