Oh look, it's what the Democrats wanted the whole time. Reminder: They are not on our side and they are also the bad guys.

I first posted this at 10pm on Friday, but to provide a more serious explanation of what I’m doing here: I've officially gone into business for myself. After being fired for my choice of pro bono cases 3 months ago, I’ve been doing a few stray cases, but it's time to make things formal.

Dozens of vulture carcasses—at least some and probably all infected with HPAI—were reportedly left strewn about the grounds of an elementary school for days while bureaucrats wrangled over who would clean up the site, illustrating what appears to be a huge crisis of state and local capacity in Ohio.

i will probably keep saying some variation of this because its inevitably going to happen but dems campaigning on “reform ice” need to be met with the same reaction as a someone asking if they can kick your child in the head

I need someone much more knowledgeable than myself to answer this: Remember all the drones on the east coast last year? I am far from a conspiracy theorist, but are we sure those weren’t similar incursions?

BREAKING: Trump administration plans to end prison rape protections for trans & intersex people, memo says. A DOJ memo says certain standards under the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) do not align with Trump’s Jan. 20 anti-trans executive order, @byadamrhodes.bsky.social reports.

This is a problem, @robsandia.bsky.social . Are you going to call it out?

And are you going to propose regulations/reductions for pesticide use to limit runoff?

8. Gallego, when confronted with his texts, did not deny them. In fact, he leaned into them, saying that they were “a reflection of what I’ve been saying the whole time.” He claimed that the texts actually reflected inclusivity:

4. Now, newly leaked texts—published by a conservative source but confirmed as accurate from Gallego himself—suggest Gallego’s shift may not be a mere political calculation but a reflection of deeper, toxic beliefs that have become far too common in American politics. You can see the texts here:

1. Over Thanksgiving, texts from Dem. Sen Ruben Gallego leaked where he repeats far-right talking points on masculinity, lamenting that Democratic women "look like men." Using far-right gender-panic rhetoric will not ingratiate the Democratic Party towards men. Subscribe to support our journalism.

champaign city council is going to vote on making homelessness illegal tonight btw. www.news-gazette.com/news/champai...

Are you fucking kidding me?! This is Rob Sand’s response to cancer in Iowa. No mention of pesticides or pesticide runoff from Big Ag. Conveniently, Sand’s wife is CEO of the BigAg company, the Lauridsen Group. This is shameful. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8UuvqEV/

Just dug out the driveway and the car on my own, so now I might have to claim “snowfighters” for all of us out here clearing over a foot of snow with only a shovel.

Today I saw a post where snowplow drivers were referred to as “snowfighters” and I’ve now added that to the list of things that make me irrationally angry.

“why the fuck are we invading Venezuela” should really be on at least a couple of chyrons

Advocates say the 16-year-old's health had been in decline since his arrest in February for allegedly throwing rocks.

I’ve been feeding the squirrels. They now run up to me, looking for snacks, when I go outside. But I wish they had a little more fear of my dog, who is looking at them as the snack.

Fuella & Feteasca are the sweetest bonded duo ever! These two are playful, loving, and never far from each other’s side. After waiting patiently for their forever family, these girls are more than ready to settle in, and their adopter can name their own adoption fee!

A fundraiser for the couple’s relocation and legal expenses—including beginning the process of a marriage-based immigration case that the family hopes will allow De La Cruz to one day return—is about $1,000 shy of its goal. You can find that here: www.gofundme.com/f/keep-noel-...

GOOD NEWS: @ramirez.house.gov will be working with @sanders.senate.gov to introduce the Pensions for All Act. The bill requires corporations to provide traditional pension plans for their workers or pay into the federal retirement system to ensure all workers receive retirement benefits.

The way these two stories are casually listed in one sentence is a perfect encapsulation of just how little Americans are paying attention

Escape room where the thing you are trying to escape is reading about Olivia Nuzzi

close to two weeks later and Bubba and Roscoe still don't have a forever home 😿 do you know anyone who could give them a good home for their golden years?

Found a home for the sweetest stray cat I found in my yard. I feel like it’s a Christmas miracle. Godspeed, Betty.

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

Priests being arrested

need something to do today? bring 52 of your closest friends to the shelter and each adopt a dog. just an idea 🐶

A relevant pertinent read

Put aside the travesty of an immigration system, but why was this person in jail for over a month for driving with a suspended license???

Powerful speeches at the school board meeting from students who had their opening night premiere cancelled that morning.

Great, tell them we said welcome to 2015.

Just saw a bumper sticker that had Charlie Kirk’s face, some angel imagery and the words “a true patriot.”

Marion County Sheriff's Office is 2nd Iowa agency to agree to help ICE. They're only deputizing one guy and here's what he says he'll be doing: www.iowapublicradio.org/live-updates...

This is incredible. And would make a good Svengoolie movie

Oust Jeffries too

Schumer rightfully getting a lot of flack. But Durbin should be getting just as much flack. He's the Senate whip. His job is to whip votes to hold the line. Yet he just voted to cave to Trump and allow healthcare premiums to skyrocket. Both need to step down from leadership.

the government wants everyone to die really bad

Democrats are what you think Republicans used to be. Republicans are Nazis. Capitalism is evil. They want us fighting each other for scraps. All of them. Not just Schumer. All. Of. Them.
