Well, at least it’s not a plain brown tabby for once…

If, like me, you’ve noticed that the @baltimoresun.bsky.social has cranked up its inflammatory tone about Wes Moore lately, this is why. I even googled the reporter who wrote one of them a couple days ago because the article set off my BS detector. I’ve hung onto my sub til now but no longer.

Nothing I could say about the GOP base is as illustrative as the fact that Trump understands that posting black people in what his audience considers a “white space” will make them incandescently angry bsky.app/profile/atru...

This is a marvelous project and we need thousands more all over the country. www.sfgate.com/la/article/c...

An upcoming Montana ballot referendum would deny corporations the power to spend in state and federal elections. If it passes in deep red Montana, it could pass anywhere. State by state, this could effectively nullify Citizens United. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1fPbGHe3xE

It would take only a handful of Republicans to step onto the right side of history and stop this madness. They would be remembered well. It's right there for the taking.

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

Got in a quick trip to Fort McHenry to see the cherry blossoms before the rain!

This (from The Onion) is just amazing.

The most reliable predictor of suicide rate is the number of firearms in a community.

hmm

Or he’ll fall asleep or fart loudly.

In what world is it okay for the Defense Secretary to make multi-million dollar investments in defense companies: a) Ever; b) In the run-up to starting a war in the Middle East FT has the scoop: www.ft.com/content/744e... In a functional democracy, he would offer his resignation tonight.

New from me: The first post of a series documenting the brazen lies DHS has told after abuse and violence by ICE and Bordrer Patrol officers. First up: The bumbling, illegal raid on ChongLy Scott Thao and his family.

Sunday Exception: Swan Perfect Landing

I literally LOLed.

TRUMP RUINED BAD TASTE John Waters at #NoKings in Provincetown (Pic via petermarietoto on X)

Brilliant protest sign in Inverness, Florida. Bone Spurs Donald isn't gonna be happy about this one! No Kings!

A cat stole the dog bed so the dog gets the prime people-watching window perch.

This is good

These are pretty darn good.

One thing about these awful bills I rarely hear mentioned: Hasn’t pretty much every cisgender adult used the “wrong” bathroom at some point in their life for one reason or another? Because the line was ridiculous, or they were accompanying a child, or whatever? And it’s, you know… fine.

🤔

The Economist practicing "the large print giveth and the small print taketh away."

I hate everything right now.

Renewables would expand capacity (which we need) and lower prices (which we need). This should be the easiest possible messaging war to win, and yet…

I'm going on Krugman's substack in a few to talk energy, so I've been trying to wrap my head around a 30K view of the domestic energy landscape. It has brought to mind one of my favorite rants, which I will rant at you once again here. Let's talk about a contrast. 🧵

God this is embarrassing…

They’re fun to drive, cheap to maintain, and the infrastructure is way better than it was even 3 years ago when I bought my Chevy Bolt. It’s a learning curve figuring out all the lingo, for sure, but it’s not as complicated as it seems.

Hey Baltimore, Catfish needs a job! He’s a retired alley cat who wants to be your warehouse/brewery/barn/shop cat. Neutered and vetted, very friendly with humans and other cats! Please help me find him a good outdoor home ❤️

Giving Margaret Bourke-White, "World's Highest Standard of Living" 1937 photo from Life magazine vibes.

The skull of a horse who pulled streetcars in Baltimore. He died at age 35 in 1876.

spent a lot of the weekend reading stuff and i’m no expert but it sure feels like this week is poised to give off march 2020 vibes

Iran is hardly the only country we're waging war on for no goddamn good reason at the moment

An American kestrel perches on an "IMPORTANT BIRD AREA" sign in the Montrose Beach Dunes.

Here’s what I’d like to see GOPers asked on the Sunday shows, instead of being asked AGAIN to condemn something he said: 1. Do you agree with the president that it’s good that Mueller is dead? 2. If you can’t disagree on this, why should people trust you’ll be a check on the prez in time of war?

The only potential upside here…

What's telling here, of course, is that Trump has always insisted Mueller CLEARED him Trump's psychotic reaction here suggests: even TRUMP knows Mueller DID NOT clear him

LET'S GO BALTIMORE: One more week! Join us at War Memorial Plaza on Saturday 3/28 at 10:30am to start No Kings Day strong! We have some great speakers & performers to inspire us to stand up and fight for our Rights, our Communities, and our Democracy. Sign up! www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

A thing that’s fun to think about is that when it happens it will be a GLOBAL celebration. Like there will be video from around the world of people dancing and laughing and singing

It's interesting how The Daily Wire attacks the idea that gender is a performance when their sets are all about gender performance. Look at the aesthetics here — the cigars and crystal decanter with Japanese whiskey, the black dress shirt, the tight suit with two-toned double monks and tie bar ...

Dictator Donald Trump wants to sign an executive order about when college football games can be played. Because, priorities. 🙄

This really sucks

The people who cancelled Jimmy Kimmel after Charlie Kirk's assassination will now control television stations that reach 80% of Americans, twice that what was legally allowed before Trump's takeover. The state capture of network television is almost complete.

Democratic consultants: To replicate Mamdani’s success with the young people we must appeal to their short attention spans with memes and TikTok Mamdani (actual quote): In the fifth century in what we now know as Ireland, a British warlord named Coroticus had laid waste to the countryside

Cats are such graceful, majestic creatures

I’m booking a consultation with a cat behaviorist for two of my, ummm, “special” foster cats, and I’m ridiculously geeked out about it. I love behavior stuff!
