OMG! Who made this? 🤣

I used to wonder how it was possible that Trump could have won in 2016, and then again in 2024, given how emotionally toxic and depraved he is. I don’t wonder anymore. I think he won for that exact reason. Because he carried at least one broken shard to reflect the broken shards in millions of others. If you’re a racist, you found your guy. If you’re a misogynist, you found your guy. If money is your only religion, you found your guy. If your heart is armored shut, you found your guy. If you mock the disabled, you found your guy. If intelligence makes you insecure, you found your guy. If you’re a sexual predator, you found your guy. If you trade in humiliation and conspiracy and filth, you found your guy. If you’ve never done a single hour of emotional inventory, you found your guy. If you cheat, stiff contractors, bankrupt your obligations, and call it savvy, you found your guy. If you lie as easily as you breathe, you found your guy. If cruelty feels like strength, you found your guy. If white grievance is your comfort food, you found your guy. If your ego is a black hole no title can fill, you found your guy. If warmongering fuels your ego, you found your guy, If empathy feels like weakness and dominance feels like oxygen, you found your guy. If he’d only carried one or two of these pathologies, he might have been dismissed as just another loud, damaged man. But he carried a buffet of them. That was the appeal. Millions could locate themselves somewhere in the wreckage. They didn’t have to agree with all of it. They just had to recognize a piece of themselves in it. It was never really about him. It was about the validation. The absolution. The permission. He didn’t invent the resentment; he amplified it. He didn’t create the cruelty; he normalized it. He gave millions the intoxicating relief of hearing their ugliest impulses echoed back at rally volume. Trump is a symptom. The deeper illness is collective. If there’s one sentence that defines his power, it’s this: “He says the things I’m thinking.” And that’s the part that should chill us. Because what does it say about us that so many were thinking those things? That tens of millions of Americans harbored resentments so deep, so seething, that they were simply waiting for a demagogue to baptize them as virtue? That after decades of supposed progress on race, gender, and equality, so many white men felt so threatened, so displaced, so furious, that cruelty became a political platform? Maybe we were living in a fool’s paradise, mistaking silence for healing, politeness for progress. Now the mask is off. Now we know. And knowing is a far more dangerous place to stand. – Michael Jochum, Not Just a Drummer: Reflections on Art, Politics, Dogs, and the Human Condition.

The President doesn't want you standing up and speaking out against him, so he's coming after me to intimidate all of us. But I won't back down — and neither should you.

Rips were observed again during Tue, including this strong rip observed by Wrightsville Beach Ocean Rescue's drone. Dangerous rips & rough surf will continue Wed through Fri as swells from Hurricane Erin impact the area beaches.

It seems like a good day to remind everyone that at the time of Jeffrey Epstein’s death, the President of the United States was neither Joe Biden nor Barack Obama, but Donald Trump.

Six months into the 2nd season of the Trump shitshow & the prices he promised to lower are higher, the war he promised to end on day one is still raging & and the Epstein files he promised to declassify either don’t exist, were created by Obama, or say nothing at all. #winning

John Cornyn just cast the deciding vote to stop millions of Texans from being able to see a doctor, take food away from kids, close down rural hospitals, crush solar and wind jobs, and give our tax dollars to the wealthiest people in America. Texas must hold him accountable.

They can't arrest us all.

HELL YES: Michael Steele delivers a genius game-plan to absolutely DERAIL the GOP. Democrats need to STOP helping Republicans. “Let them choke on (their majority).” His words were BLUNT: “Y'all need to chill on this, all this kumbaya partisan bi-partisan crap.” He added. 🔥🔥🔥 "Because at the end of the day, here's your headline: 'Republicans shoot down Democratic requests to ditch party line immigration, push and write a bipartisan bill instead. Senate Republicans are making it clear they will pursue a border package without Democratic input. They don't want to work with you, they're not going to work with you," he lectured. "They have the House, the Senate and the White House. Let them choke on that.” Who else agrees Democrats need to stop helping Republicans by compromising!!

Donald Trump is once again going to use the power of the Oval Office to enflame division, embolden bigotry & encourage violence. We’ve seen this movie before folks. It sure as shit did not end well. How the actual fuck is it even possible that we have to endure this shit again.

Hey Trump… spare me the outrage. You’re the biggest divider and the worst person to occupy the White House. You’re belly-aching, complaining, weak, victimization is so old, like you. Thankfully, we won’t have to listen to you any more in one week.
