I was inspired to try this after seeing the reaction videos to the end of #AvengersEndgame. I had a ton of fun with this song and it's one of the harder ones I've played.

This one is for @oakayla and her MCU recap podcast @TheSnapMCU! Arrangement by @ThePianoGuys.

Here is something interesting about Signal-Gate.🧐

Using Signal isn’t illegal.
But using it for official U.S. government business and failing to preserve those records?
That’s a crime.

Under the Federal Records Act, every official is required to forward all government communications—even from private apps—within 20 days.

If they didn’t?
They broke the law.
Period.

And Signal can’t save them. It stores nothing.
So if those chats are gone?
That’s illegal destruction of federal records—and they need to be held accountable.

Everyone on the public WAR PLANS group text should immediately lose their security clearances and be fired. Their idiocy just put a giant target on America. We are not safe.

Yes, this means they’ve done it before.

McGovern: Democrats offered an amendment to protect Medicaid. Every Republican voted no. 

Democrats offered an amendment to extend tax cuts for people making under $400,000 while ensuring that corporations and billionaires pay their fair share. Every Republican voted no. 

Democrats offered an amendment preventing tax giveaways for people earning over $1 million a year. Every Republican voted no. 

We asked them to vote against tax breaks for people earning over $100 million per year. Every Republican voted no. 

We offered an amendment preventing tax cuts for people with a net worth of over, get this $1 billion. Every Republican voted no. 

They betrayed their constituents. They voted to steal from the American people in order to protect tax breaks for billionaires

@Angry_Staffer I couldn't find a video of this, are you sure it's legit? It sounds like something that would be said but it's still hard to believe.

It's important to point out that this is the EXACT OPPOSITE of what Jesus teaches in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7), the story of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10), the sermon in his hometown synagogue (Luke 4), and basically every other time he opened his mouth.

When I started talking about Oligarchy, many people didn't understand what I meant.

Well, that's changed.

When the 3 wealthiest men in America sit behind Trump at his inauguration, everyone understands that the billionaire class now controls our government.

We must fight back.

@BlondeNerd I hope you had a ton of fun! We also did a cruise this summer as a family and it was so relaxing and just a great vacation.

This is why that won't work

I can't believe so many people still voted for Trump after almost his entire administration came out against him and his attempted violent overthrow of the last presidential election.

[prance @bocxtop]

regardless of the election’s results it’s obvious this country has gotten way more rightwing especially amongst men and i think a lot of that is what is fed to us online, we have to figure out a way to stop every dude under 35 from turning into crypto hitler

@therianamp Hahaha this is awesome

It occurs to me that @Apple would be incredibly smart to release a communication device that did not allow social media. Not a device with software lockouts via screentime, a device that actually did not allow social media apps at all. A reduced app set, somehow hard-coded into the device. There is a huge market demand for this specific product.

We simply lack the self-discipline to not install these apps. Silicon Valley has figured out our weaknesses and how to make us addicted, and companies have figured out how to use our dopamine as a pathway to taking over our personal time. By blocking this, Apple would be seen as a benevolent actor in a sea of malicious tech companies.

Call it something catchy like:
The “Emancipation From Applications”.

As parent with teenagers, I have explored this space carefully, alongside all of dozens of thoughtful parents I respect, from all walks of life. I am familiar with all of the dumb phones, and know friends with many of the hardware solutions used to make social media inconvenient.

Increasingly, I know adults who want this product for themselves. It’s no longer just about kids.

The more I think about it the more I realize this would be a genius play on many levels.

I usually don’t say this, but please retweet this if you feel the same way. I want to know if it’s just me.

On April 8th time stood still for a moment. Day became night as the moon blocked the sun, revealing the solar corona.

This composite photo is a high-contrast version of what I shared with you after that event, created specifically as the cover to my 2025 calendar, now available.

NEW: After offering to pay for the funeral of fallen soldier Vanessa Guillen, Trump got angry and said “It doesn’t cost 60,000 bucks to bury a f*cking Mexican! Don't pay it." No money was ever received for the funeral. https://t.co/kYQyj8gDNR

Former President Trump had 44 cabinet secretaries. 40 of them don’t support his 2024 campaign.

Neither does his Vice President nor any of his former chiefs of staff.
