Middle age is going well, I'm still here. Reading, writing, walking the dog, riding my horse, a bit of art here & there &, of course, coffee to keep me going.

Screwworm found in 2 calves near Mexico border. The feds knew screwworm was creeping back for months, did nothing & now it's in Texas cattle

Prices already through the roof, and now they confirm a SECOND case

Thanks, Secretary Rollins. Real good job protecting working people!!!

Thank you @Rep_Stansbury 👏 The industry has made it clear AGAIN they don't want it, and yet here we are.

We need permanent protection, not another lease sale. ✊

Mind boggling stupidity

[Murray Rothbard @MurraySuggests]

The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn’t a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began.

The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can’t build the nuclear bomb they weren’t building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn’t start.

Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have.

If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

Do you agree? 👍

Perfect

[DulceBiatch @BiatchDulce]

No comparison.
Trump is an utter failure.
And it’s “Sleepy Don” FYI!
Get your facts right.

[Elinora Button @ElinoraButton]

Oh F! If this proves true no more beef for my family either. Whf Trump.

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

MAJOR BREAKING: Canada bans Texas cattle over flesh-eating screwworm outbreak.

Remember that Trump/DOGE pushed broad USDA staffing and budget cuts that affected APHIS, which happens to be the the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service within the U.S. Department of Agriculture, responsible for overseeing screwworm in cattle at the federal level.

Thanks Trump for screwing us, you worm....

Members of Congress decide their own benefits and compensation through the legislative process, meaning they vote on their own laws and compensation rules, subject to constitutional and statutory limits.

[Pramila Jayapal @PramilaJayapal]

I am tired of being told to be patient.

Patient while people skip prescriptions. Patient while families go bankrupt from medical bills.

Patient while the insurance industry writes the rules that govern our lives.

Patient is what they want us to be. Compliance is what they're hoping for.
I refuse.

Health care is a human right and we will not stop fighting until every single person in this country has it. We will pass Medicare For All. Full stop. 💜

[Brad @BraddrofliT]

So let me get this straight:

When immigrants take jobs, it’s a national crisis.

When AI takes jobs, it’s innovation.

Can someone explain why we’re supposed to fear people willing to work, but celebrate technology designed to replace workers?

[le sociologue grincheux @OhHowByronic]

Spot on.

[Elinora Button @ElinoraButton]

Pay attention

[Derrick Evans @DerrickEvans4WV]

Constitution requires two-thirds vote from the Senate to bind us to another country.

They hid it in the bill because they knew it was unconstitutional.

It’s treasonous as far as I’m concerned.

Every single person who voted for this needs removed from office.

[Elinora Button @ElinoraButton]

It makes my blood boil every time I think about that little fact.

[DulceBiatch @BiatchDulce]

FYI: Social Security has been funded by American workers for 90 years.
Every paycheck.
Every job.
Every decade.
Congress has borrowed $2.9 trillion from the Trust Fund.
None of them asked permission.
You saved it.
They spent it.
Now they’re asking you to accept less.

Hot take: No professional sports team should ever receive a single cent of public taxpayer money to build a stadium. If a team can afford a billion-dollar roster, they can afford their own real estate. Why are we still subsidizing billionaires?

[BythePeople @BythePeople18]

If you don't like what the Supreme Court is doing, you have one choice. Vote for Democrats. First, take Congress and then in 2028, take the White House. Pass and sign legislation that does what Dems stand for and if the SC tries to neutralize it, expand the Court.

"No One Is Illegal on Stolen Land"
We must recognize that true justice begins with truth—and that truth starts with honoring the people who were here first.

This powerful statement is more than just a protest sign—it's a truth that echoes through generations of Indigenous struggle and survival.

For Native American people, this land was never discovered—it was lived on, cared for, and honored for thousands of years before colonization. The borders we see today are colonial constructs placed over stolen land, where entire nations of Indigenous people were displaced, erased, or confined.

To say that "no one is illegal on stolen land" is to challenge the systems that criminalize immigrants while ignoring the original theft of this land from its rightful stewards.
