You know, I'm not sure I ever really read the Pond Rules at our local nature preserve all that closely before

Okay, the crowd going nuts like someone just scored a touchdown at the Super Bowl all *through* the KDH performance is a hell of a thing to see hear/see:

Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind

Clifford “Buzz” Grambo is just the perfect name for a guy who chases ICE on a scooter. Sometimes the universe aligns man, purpose, and name all too well

PUNCHBOWL: “.. GOP members messaged us over the weekend saying that they, too, are considering retiring in the middle of the term. Here’s one particularly exercised senior House Republican: @punchbowlnews.bsky.social

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Great news. This is what an ICE agent looks like in a mugshot. Meet Gerardo Rodriguez, 45, of Temecula, courtesy of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office. Arrested for "illegally detaining a minor at gunpoint while off duty last week." 🧵

Your problem is right here, the cables are worn out!

Missouri Republican officials sued to prevent voters from blocking their new gerrymander, invoking the fringe independent state legislature theory to argue that a pro-voting ballot measure violates the Constitution. https://bit.ly/4owqvfj

Absolutely 💯 agree with Jasmine Crockett........

In 1933, Adolf Hitler was legitimately made Chancellor of Germany. That doesn't mean that everything he did while in that office, like giving himself absolute power like a king, was legitimate, Meghan.

Wake up. It’s Monday. We’ve got chaos to bring.

Two little devils have appeared!

22 arrests. All Maga. Including this armed terrorist with a gun who assaulted a woman. I think we know who the violent ones are. #NoKings

The vice chair of the Georgia State Election Board, a longtime election denier, pushed for severely restrictive changes to state voting laws, including eliminating absentee voting and promoting paper ballots. https://bit.ly/4qvtJ4u

For a timeline cleanse here’s a cute little row oat sitting in a cranberry bog on Cape Cod earlier today. Tap for full-size. I hope you have had a great day!

No Kings Day - Los Angeles

A federal judge refused to dismiss a lawsuit challenging Indiana’s student ID voting ban, dealing a major win for young state voters. The decision lands amid a nationwide push by Republican lawmakers to curtail the use of student IDs for voting. https://bit.ly/3KRZapj

This aged well

Right?

I'm sure NBC will report record profits as well. Congrats to corporate media being a corporation first and news dead last.

I hope groups keep track of this stuff so that the current orange turd administration can hopefully be held accountable in the future. I would say so that they could be thrown in jail for it, but we all know that isn't going to happen.

“The power to draw fair maps is so important that people will try to find ways to get out of doing it,” @mcpli.bsky.social of the Brennan Center told Democracy Docket. And Utah Republicans are doing just that in their brazen efforts to avoid compliance with a voter-approved anti-gerrymandering law.

Replacing an expert with “AI” isn’t trading one expert for another. It’s closer to replacing an expert with an amateur con artist coasting on plagiarism, and whose mistakes keep having to be cleaned up by people who actually know what they’re doing.

This is one of my favorite pictures from yesterday, Governor Pritzker with the protesters... #NoKings

Did you slap a butt today? (consensually)

Boxes also work on bobcats

A frog just defeated ICE. Somewhere Pepe is crying.

Florida is ending all vaccine mandates, not just COVID related, including for school children. www.reuters.com/business/hea...

I’m lovf crimkly papor, donnot tayk mine crimkly papor. Itse mine!!

Any Veteran that still supports this administration should be more than deeply ashamed. This is just more of the administration being scared of veterans and wanting to try to ship us off to prisons or camps.

The Guardian @theguardian.com

🚨NEW: Declarations filed in the lawsuit against the rushed attempt to deport 600 Guatemalan children reveals the chaotic way the Trump admin carried out the operation. Children were taken out of bed after midnight to be rushed onto planes. One girl "was so scared she vomited."

The route from DC to Boston is 475 miles. This would be an hour and a half without stops. Probably 2 hours tops with them. It could go from DC to New York in 45 minutes. We could have this if we didn't suck.

New York does not miss. The bleach did it for me. 😭

This whole site right now. 😇

🥰🥰☺️

So far, the judge seems to think Bondi’s order is too broad, but what DC wants is too narrow. Basically, POTUS can ask MPD to help ICE, but they can’t commandeer the entire MPD - even if it’s just for 30 days. She’s encouraging them to settle so she doesn’t have to issue a TRO.

International embarrassment.
