More rock stars should be photographed like this.

#Fust is one of my favorite bands right now. They were so good last night at Motorco.

I've always wondered why all that beautiful land was so desolate.

I’ve been saying for a while now that this is coming sooner than people think. Even in a “conservative” state dominated by a GOP-led legislature. Especially now that #Virginia has legalized recreationally and is working on licensing. #NorthCarolina #Cannabis

Right! Totally agree. With his history, he should have a designated driver at all times.

The death of democracy, freedom of the press, freedom from tyranny, all happening in real time, right before our eyes. The SCOTUS is equally as guilty as POTUS and congressional Republicans. (And yes, even a vast majority of corporate Democrats too.)

That’s interesting. I surmised not from the photo quality (although the color is better on the Nikon), but moreso from the aspect ratio and field of vision.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@randahl/116212764694043220
The most infuriating thing about the #Trump era is the ability for politicians to knowingly lie and there are zero consequences for it and everyone just shrugs and moves on.
There is literally more evidence that Trump raped children, than there is that Iran has a working nuclear enrichment program.
And yet he’s allowed to run the country and get us into another never-ending war that will destabilize the entire region and cost us trillions of dollars without any kind of check or balance on those decisions.

The current administration is legitimately evil. There’s no other way to describe it.
“500 metric tons of high-energy food, intended for child refugees in Afghanistan and Pakistan under the age of five, were incinerated, as were ten million dollars of contraceptives at a cost of $167,000.”

The names of the abusers are in the files. There are graphic descriptions of what they did with underage girls. Where are the arrests? Where are the prosecutions?
We’re all just supposed to pretend this is ok and allow them all to walk away?
Society is over. Literal pedophiles can have sex with your children, retain their place in society, and not suffer any consequences.
The #Epstein class needs to be permanently abolished. Prosecute them, take their assets, and lock them in jail forever. Every. Single. One.

This @npub1fdr…lvhs essay draws a clear connection between Wall Street’s desire to buy cheap assets in order to rent them back to you, the Epstein class, and why Trump is purposefully trying to tank the economy.
It all makes sense when you look at the bigger picture.

Re: Pam Bondi’s official letter offering to withdraw ICE from Minnesota in exchange for access to voter rolls, SNAP databases, etc.
The plan was election interference all along.

Every single member of the current administration is a literal enemy of the state. They are all trying to kill Americans and cause ruin in our country.

Also, when he and his ilk are finally ousted from power they will need to be prosecuted, tried, convicted, and imprisoned.
This should have happened the first time and because it didn’t, we’ve ended up here.

The entire Democratic Party leadership needs to be fired en mass, and replaced by broke, pissed off, Gen Z kids who can’t find a job. Guarantee they’ll do a better job.

It’s New Years Eve and that means a predictable glut of articles about “How to save money this year” with dumbass tips such as “Get those birthday freebies most restaurants give out” and “Declutter: make money from your unused junk.”
Hey, I’ve got an idea… how about we TAX BILLIONAIRES OUT OF EXISTENCE! They and their children could never spend their hoarded wealth in multiple lifetimes even if they tried!
With that money we could *easily* feed the hungry, house the homeless, provide universal healthcare, free college education, and free childcare.
A better society is possible, but not while billionaires exist.
