Lovely evening to paint out in Seattle

I didn't know the #WhiteLotus had a cruise ship.

Such a powerful visual. I applaud this student's use of optics. This is wrong. The world doesn't have to be like this. #seattle #seattlecentral #studenthousing #homelessness

After decades of serving as a reliable, authoritative public repository of basic information about countries, their economies, and their people, The World Factbook disappeared from the internet on February 4 with no advance notice. https://cnn.it/4kqanLy

@SenateDems It has to stop. Any measure that does not address this kind of behavior is empty. They have to stop terrorizing communities.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Another friend put it to me like this: "ICE has made the classic Nazi mistake. They've invaded a winter people in the winter."

Today has been a lot of stories about horrible, disgusting, inhuman, piece of shit, ice agents, abusing and terrorizing children. Also adults but at least three stories about them abusing children. How are we going to stop this?

ABOLISH ICE. NOW

we don't have very much but we can strip anybody who works for ICE of any social niceties whatsoever. you find out somebody is with them? they don't get to be ANYTHING to you anymore. and tell them WHY. it SUCKS to be ostracized and stigmatized. please use it on somebody who's earned it for once

The local police should intervene. What ICE is doing is unlawful.

I may have already finished reading the most important book I'll read this year. Limitatianism by @ingridrobeyns.bsky.social This should be required reading. Once for most of us and once per million for the others.

I'm working on a project at the moment where I need to speak to people who have been affected by celebrity romance fraud - either as the victim who sent money or the friends/family of someone who did DM me if you have an experience you can share Please RT this to get more reach

One of the most lopsided results you'll ever see in a poll, from our weekend Washington Post poll www.washingtonpost.com/politics/int...

“What do we call it when a stronger person decides to rob a weaker person because he can? It is just gangsterism. We are the most dangerous gangsters in the world today. Not in the sense of being charming rogues or alluring antiheroes. We are the bad guys.”

here's the thing: you are not reaching any real voters by posting on twitter at this point none of them are on the platform, and if they are, they're sure not voting for you twitter posting is exclusively for the audience of reporters who live over there, and you can reach them elsewhere

I adore Starship Teapot by Si Clarke. It's so lovely and inclusive. The only thing that doesn't quite sit right with me is that as a side effect of the name/pronoun convention (which I really dig otherwise) sentient beings tend to introduce themselves using their job titles.

10,000 mortgages left unpaid like open bar tabs. Tilt by @emmapattee.bsky.social This novel is beautifully tragic

Marked safe from….whatever the fuck Jane Orrick was talking about.

Jesus fucking Christ. Be sure to tell your children they can be anything they want to be, even if they’re as dumb as a rock.

I mean yeah it’s an authoritarian takeover but can we take some comfort in the fact that the people doing it are INSANELY stupid?

"Dressed in their red suits and fake beards, they rang their bells like they were going for dog-spit gold at the Pavlov Olympics." It isn't really Christmas until I've cracked open The Stupidest Angel by @theauthorguy.bsky.social.

Bari's going to come back hard with "we need to see both sides of torture to be fair." Actually, the Warden in the 60 Minutes piece sort of had the "pro torture" point of view covered.

"there are many Epstein files on the DOJ website where you can highlight the redacted text, copy it & paste it onto another document to read the redactions. "

Here's a better view of the now-deleted photo showing Trump with Epstein and Trump with a group of young girls. The photo was originally posted as item EFTA00000468 but was later deleted. Now the 'official' list simply jumps from EFTA00000467 to EFTA00000469.

The photo below was included in DOJ's data dump yesterday. Once people noticed that Trump was pictured with young girls--children--the photo was deleted. Not only is Trump's DOJ flagrantly violating the Epstein files law, this shows how cynical they are, and how stupid they think Americans are.

Merry Epstein Files Day, everyone! Henceforth, today shall be a feast day and bank holiday. All Tpublicans gain free entry into national parks for the feast of Donald J. Trump / Jeffrey F. Epstein Files. It's a living memorial, you see. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

He never disclosed that he’d visited Epstein in that column and did a lot of hand waving to insist that he and his fellow elites had nothing, nothing at all to do with him.

apropos of nothing, remember when DC put out this comic in 1989 that was a clear visual reference to “art of the deal”
