@rolle@mementomori.social I for one will abstain from the movement to make social media clunky and ugly again.

Trump is appearing today at a Georgia high school for a campaign event. I continue to believe firmly that he shouldn't be allowed near teenage girls.

Is it any wonder that 20% of the US population is clueless? Senator Jon Ossoff shredded the so-called Secretary of War. The Fox News take? "Hegseth turns tables on Dems."

Our power lines are all buried, but a lightning strike seems to have killed the garage door opener (that I just finished hooking up to voice control), the living room TV, a GFI electrical circuit, and most importantly, the central air conditioner. I was looking out the front window and everything lit up bright orange-red. I'll be out in the yard tomorrow, looking for damaged trees and streetlights. Something got the crap knocked out of it.

So the United States can indict an aging, out of touch dictator in connection with the killing of civilians.

Very interesting idea.

I really hate to say it, but things are going to get much worse before he's gone. And Republicans won't lift a finger to stop him.

War is peace, freedom is slavery, and Trump has seized an "anti-weaponization" fund.

Steve Yelvington @steve@s.yelvington.com · May 18, 2026

This is a theft of $1.7 billion in taxpayer money to be used for political rewards to traitors who tried to overthrow the elected government of the United States.

Who needs an actual reichstag fire when you can just draw up a confidential intelligence memo?

Trump's war on Iran failed to cure his unpopularity problem. So he's looking to try again with cuba.

Brian Kemp has renewed the suspension of Georgia motor fuel taxes, effectively using the State Treasury to disguise the disastrous effects of Trump's War.

The Burt Jones vs Rick Jackson ads on Georgia TV are fun to watch because it's Republicans shivving one another.

It'd be nice to go for a walk and maybe shoot pictures of what I see and maybe even post them online. But I don't want to be charged with thoughtcrime.

Jerome Powell says he will continue to serve as a Fed governor, calls Trump criticism 'unprecedented

Powell addressed the question of whether he will stay on as a Board of Governors member after his term as chair ends.

Just you wait until we get the indictments for "23 skiddoo."

The Lisbon airport is truly insane. So far this morning I've walked 1.7 mi, nearly all of that in lines. And when I finally got to passport control, all the machines were offline and they just waved us through.

Why is it that violating the Constitution is just business as usual, but following it is "creating a constitutional crisis?"

Steve Yelvington @steve@s.yelvington.com · Apr 06, 2026

The odious SAVE act is written to target young people (new voters), women (changed names), renters (changed addresses), and people who are struggling to make ends meet / can't afford the time and aggravation.

All likely Democrats.

And it doesn't solve any real problem.

@mastodonmigration I made the mistake of reading Facebook comments on a photo of Lady Liberty being arrested. A bunch of guys who probably look like roadkill toads were critiquing her appearance. As usual.

Make a passport a requirement to vote. Then block the issuing of new passports. Magats in action.
