update: this is easily the coolest lego build I’ve ever done

When DHS dared to call its anti-immigrant racial profiling weekend in Charlotte, North Carolina, “Operation Charlotte’s Web,” I knew I was going to have to write about it. Tonight, at Law Dork, here it is: www.lawdork.com/p/gregory-bo...

British and Australian chemists have discovered a powerful new antibiotic called pre-methylenomycin C lactone, hiding in a well-known soil bacterium. This molecule kills drug-resistant bacteria without triggering resistance. buff.ly/YlXaONo #ShareGoodNewsToo

reminded of eric williams's observation about britain's relationship to its history with slavery. "British historians wrote almost as if Britain had introduced Negro slavery solely for the satisfaction of abolishing it."

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.

Bill Clinton is sitting on a couch. Trump and Vance both rush into the room and shout "You've been cheating on me!"

This is nauseating: “As the emails stretch through the years, they show how that protected realm vanished into the mists of time, pulled under by the rising forces of the internet and the #MeToo movement.” A “Gone With the Wind” framing for sexual abuse and harassment.

Fact is, Epstein is the *only* issue impervious to Trump/GOP messaging tactics. That's why Trump & MAGA keep freaking out—they literally don't know what to do when lying, misdirection, and demagoguery don't work. So they flail around, making it worse. Dropping it would be political malpractice.

Please stop using language that suggests that people with criminal records are appropriate targets for this administration's violence. One in three adults has a criminal record. Stop playing sacrifice games with fascists. Stop surrendering entire categories of people in your own mind.

This is important context from Julie K. Brown. With alt text.

Also whether it's fantasy sports or gambling, there is nothing more pathetic than yelling at another person for failing to play good enough for you to win at a sport you weren't good enough to be participating in

I just saw this photo and now you have to see this photo

May I ask for 50 reposts? New York Magazine is a big deal! Thank you Bluesky!

If you have been put on leave or are being fired because of comments you made in your personal capacity about and during the shutdown, please, reach out to me — Signal is crg.32 and I'm fairly easy to find on any platform.

They triple checked to make sure no racist white men were on the boats first.

In typical Conservative fashion they can disagree with things but YOU CAN'T. Try telling them they are wrong about Trans people sometime and see this in action.

still there

these are the same people that want to repeatedly inspect your childs genitals btw

Is there a nice "history of CRPG dungeon crawlers" coffee table book?

Like I dunno, maybe the reason it took a lady to break open the story of all the men protecting the dude trafficking underage girls is because the male journos were all emailing him making jokes about it?

One of the unintended benefits of being poor due to two months of strike is finally digging into my backlog games. So, here’s a 1000xRESIST thread. The vibes are absolutely off the chart, and it shows how good graphics aren’t about processing power & features but presentation & art direction.

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

just opening up the new Epstein docs at random:

Pizzagate: If you replace the word “hot dog” with “little boy” and “pizza party” with “child sex orgy,” you will see the lengths these elites go to cover up their crimes. Real elite emails: Send me nude pictures of those 8th graders we abused last weekend post-haste! I am the Ambassador to Turkey.

truly an epidemic of playing in our faces

This was my reaction to Captain Planet villains as a kid also and boy do I have egg on my face.

Unlike you, I can read and that’s why I know what the constitution says.

oh my god

I still have not processed what I just read.

ok… problem we were gonna lean it til we get frame connectors but it is SO big, SO heavy, we gotta attach it to the wall but the bed wall has a HUGE sliding door it’ll overlap. need standoffs and, how can we attach the upper portion?? pipe standoffs? french cleat???

Paid a Colombian tea grower $1,500 for a shipment. Got billed $150 by the Trump administration at the border. *I* got billed. Not the tea growers. Not the Colombian government. Me. The American business owner. I paid the Trump tax.

Are we entirely sure that Elon Musk isn't actually a 10-year-old boy who had his wish to be big granted by a boardwalk fortune telling machine? Because it would explain why he dreams of a robot uttering the words "I love you" for the first time or why he's naming his nightmares after Transformers

We should start by taking healthcare away from Republican members of Congress, since they feel it’s a “fake economy” anyway

Then fuck off from a job you are here admitting you can't do and let someone who can do it instead

Senator Angus, then resign and find someone who can stand up and make it work.

We had all the momentum •The American people were blaming Republicans •A landslide Democratic victory •Courts ordering Trump to fund SNAP benefits Yet you couldn't convince your caucus to fight for us It's the final straw that breaks the back of your tenure as leader, Senator Time to step down

Unfortunately still true bsky.app/profile/adam...

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard. We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions. We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

No health care, no deal.

Agreeing to this deal demands a primary challenge.

call Chuck Schumer right now and tell them he’s damning the democratic party for millions who will not forget who was the handmaiden to their betrayal or, you know, less poetic if that’s not your vibe NO VOTES FOR BETRAYERS & BACKSTABBERS Schumer has to go ☎️ 202 224-6542
