If you think the US is a Democracy, and not just a complicated form of slavery that benefits the few, you really aren't paying attention.

Mastodon feels like everyone has a migraine and they are trying to just live another day without falling into a pool of razor blades. And oh here's my sweety kitty pic.

"For many Americans, the gap between Christian teachings and MAGA politics is baffling. How can people profess faith in Jesus ― who preached love, mercy & care for the oppressed ― while supporting policies that punish immigrants, demonize LGBTQ people and glorify cruelty? The key to understanding this apparent contradiction might lie in something called 'vertical morality.'"

Attacking Iran with no plan for predictable oil shock is Hitler-esque military incompetence.

The 2026 equivalent of sending Panzer divisions into Russia at the beginning of mud season.

Trump has added $4 billion to his net worth since returning to office 14 mos ago.

How are your accounts doing, MAGA?

How does it feel to own the libs while your guy robs you and your country blind?

I’m sorry you’ve been taken for a sucker. I wouldn’t blame you for being mad, but it’s also possible to climb down from the ledge.

For your own sake and for the people you care about.

Nothing more American than "demanding."

Nothing more exhausting than the guy threatening NATO countries, threatening to leave NATO, then demanding that NATO help pull his ass out of the unsanctioned mess he created on a whim.
