Ummm, provide subsidized child care, universal health care, and prosecute the Epstein class?

Mindless Tweet from Elon Musk:
"If they're willing to die to assassinate, imagine what they'll do if they gain political power"

Try, convict, and sentence to life in person without parole. Then do the same to ALL THE "MEN" they protect.

Pictures of former nude model (and current First Lady) Melania Knauss Trump and convicted child rape kidnapper Ghislaine Maxwell, with the caption "Melania Trump is just as guilty as Ghislaine Maxwell. They both knew about Jeffrey Epstein, Donald, and their victims."

Virtually no one else is either. This is what all the show times in my local theater look like. I wonder if they're making ICE agents buy tickets to fill seats. I'm all for it if it gets the thugs off the streets.

Screenshot of local theater's available ticket seats for upcoming showing of Melania. Two sold. It's the same for most of the showings; two here, three there.

The best part of being a public school teacher are the dress up days. (Good knows it's not the pay.) But I'm really excited for "dress as your favorite holiday movie day" at school this year.

Photo shows a t-shirt emblazoned with "Nakatomi Plaza Christmas Party 1988" showing the facade from the Die Hard movie with Santa's sleigh flying overhead.

Would someone please take the Orange Man to Oz and hang some sort of really big medal around his neck so he'll feel he finally measures up to a real President. (Trump fails again in quest to finally have a medal as big as President Obama's.)

Photo is a picture of a deranged orange president, who recently claimed that 2025 Nobel Peace Prize was accepted "on his behalf" by Venezuelan liberal, Maria Corina Machado, after being snubbed (and rightfully so) by Peace Prize committee in his quest to finally have a medal as big as President Obama's.

New research indicates that big gavels are over-compensation for other inadequacies.

Photo shows a bearded male legislator in blue suit and red tie wielding a gavel nearly the length of his arm. Caption is from AP news. Caption reads "Texas GOP considers censoring state representatives who aren't conservative enough."

No lies detected.

ANTIFA won two World Wars.
MAGA smeared shit on The Capitol walls.

WTF: Welcome to Florida!

Image is of an automobile sticker in the style of European country of origin stickers with three letters, "WTF" representing both "Welcome to Florida" and "What The F*ck?" in an appropriate expression of near-constant disbelief at the stupidity of some of our residents.

Trump and Musk going at each other is the news I needed today.

Image is of the scene from "Avengers: Endgame" where Thor and Quill are fighting over who controls the ship. Mantis hopefully suggests they fight using knives to settle the dispute. Caption reads: "Oh, yes! Please, use knives."

These men need to be charged with corresponding STATE CRIMES from which Trump CANNOT pardon them. www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

"The weaponization of intelligence to undermine the President's agenda..." Intelligence is never going to be on Donald Trump's side, Tulsi

A social media post by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard from her official account:

The weaponization of intelligence to undermine the President’s agenda is an assault on democracy. Those behind this illegal leak of classified intelligence, twisted and manipulated to convey the exact opposite finding, will be held accountable under the full force of the law. Rooting out this politicization of intelligence is exactly what President Trump campaigned on and what Americans overwhelmingly voted for. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence fully supports the assessment that the foreign terrorist organization, Tren De Aragua, is acting with the support of the Maduro Regime, and thus subject to arrest, detention and removal as alien enemies of the United States.

We're more likely to see this one.

I saw this yard sign for sale online today. It seems oddly on point, like it might almost be a parody. Lol! How many Trumpers buy a $25 sign that screams "I'm functionally illiterate and LOVE Trump!"

Photo of a yard sign offered for sale online.

The sign reads:
"Pro Trump
***
Anti Establisment" [sic]

I believe it's legitimately a typo. I'm suspicious, however, that it might be a non-Trump parody to see how many MAGA geniuses will pay $25 for a yard sign that screams "I love Trump and am functionally illiterate!"

It's not just you

Picture of me holding a sign that says
"I did NOT GROW UP reciting Liberty and Justice for all for it not to include Literally fucking EVERYONE!"

Lots of good trouble yesterday in Cocoa for the protest. Hat's off to this guy who kept circling and honking for us. We started "the wave" to keep him coming back. #NoKings #Cocoa #Brevard

Picture of a man driving a Chevy Tahoe who kept making laps around the protest, honking to cheer us on. Hats off to you with a price of gasoline being what it is. Thank you for being there.

My favorite sign from the protest today. It keeps all the MAGA from mistaking the uterus and fallopian tubes for a stethoscope and a catcher's mit. They understood *this* sign.

Photo shows a protest sign. The sign reads "Hands Off Women's Rights" with the text being framed by the hourglass curves of a woman's body with the belly button between the words "hands off" and "women's rights." One fellow protester said it looked much easier to draw than a uterus and fallopian tubes and another remarked that she was tired of men asking what the "stethoscope and the catcher's mit" had to do with women's rights.

Picture is of a protest sign. The sign as alternating red and white lines of text. The sign reads:
"YOU CAN
choose to
LOOK AWAY
but you can
NEVER AGAIN
say you did
NOT KNOW"

Dude is not playing chess.
Hell, he's not even playing checkers.

Erma Bombeck titled one of her funniest works with this theme. "The grass is always greener over the septic tank."

Photo is from the cover of Erma Bombeck's book with the title "The Grass is Always Greener over the Septic Tank." Cover shows the title and a woman with her hair in curlers, riding a riding lawn mower, with a child in her lap, mowing over a bright green patch of grass over a septic tank.

Resisting in Orlando!

My favorite sign that I brought to this protest. It says "I did not grow up reciting 'Liberty and Justice for all' for it not to include literally fucking everyone."

Picture of protest from Orlando, Fl. Thousands showed up to protest the insanity of the current regime.

Meanwhile, Florida wants to allow 14-year-olds to work overnight and teens to work on school nights. Hello, again, 1850s. What's next? Revive slavery? (El Salvador prison work camps.) Repeal women's suffrage? (SAVE Act would strip the vote from many women.) Looks like Project 1850 to me.

Image is from original post with highlight on "1852: Ohio makes it illegal for children under 18 and women to work more than 19 hours a day" to draw comparison to current Florida legislative push to allow 14 year olds to work overnight on school nights.

So... I broke a student's heart today. I told him that Dinosaur Nuggets were not made from dinosaur meat. He wasn't the same for the rest of the day.

Picture shows three dinosaur shaped chicken nuggets, which a third grade student in my class mistook for dinosaur meat nuggets in the shape of little dinosaurs.

Will Rogers said the same thing. A long time ago.

Image of Will Rogers, American satirist.

"The money was all appropriated for the top in hopes it would trickle down to the needy. Mr. Hoover didn't know that the money trickled up. Give it to the people at the bottom and the people at the top will have it before night, anyhow. But it will at least have passed through the poor fellow's hand."

Let's not forget the original America First movement also gained tremendous speed and was advanced by a significant political party during this time under the guise of "isolationism" and American exceptionalism.

Image serves KKK march from the 1920s in Binghamton, NY with robed and hood-wearing clan members marching with a big banner saying "America First. One God. One Country. One Flag."

So frightening that the Training Chief for the University Medical Center EMS had apparently never heard of the primary, proven, infection control technique against airborne transmission of illness in hospitals worldwide. Quality respirators work.
