WHAT. p.s. feeling extremely vindicated for the time i saw a raccoon out the window of a restaurant in Toronto and said "whoa that's a really fat dog" www.scientificamerican.com/article/racc...

And we knew this. This wasn't speculation. We studied it, we had the talking points. We trained volunteers to explain this to people. It's not a surprise. Rich people don't flee places with good quality of life when we increase the quality of life. They might try to cheat us, but they don't leave.

Hey @captmarkkelly.bsky.social . Concerned about your quick jump on the AI bandwagon. I'm a constituent and donor and will be taking a close look at your proposed bill, protections for the public- and what donations you get from the tech oligarchs' PAC.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance. The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income. They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive. Wanna fix fraud and abuse? Fix that.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Still one of the best, most effective journalists.

Gosh. It's almost like those who violently attacked our Congress were actual criminal thugs, not "tourists."

My constant companion for 16 years, waited patiently with me in a hospital parking lot while my husband went thru chemo at the height of the pandemic. AKC Canine Good Citizen, registered therapy dog, agility champ and the best, most loving boy. Rest in peace Mr. Henry. We love you forever.

I've been so distracted that I missed the news of Sawyer's passing. Arizonans read Karina Bland's columns for years and watched Sawyer grow up through the pages of the Arizona Republic. We loved this young man as one of our own and are devastated by this news. A choir of angels sing him to his rest.

Here's your reminder to look out for hedgehogs this Bonfire Night. Stacks of logs and leaves look real inviting to hedgehogs searching for places to hibernate. Remember to check your bonfires before lighting them!

Seeing this at 4AM MST with tears in my eyes. Feels like the morning after Obama's win- hope. Thank you NYC.

I need to sleep tonight so closing down. Godspeed NYC, PA, VA etal. The hopes of America rest with you.

Everyone knows, in game theory one of the primary axioms is: Anyone Musk endorses is crooked AF. Full Stop.

Today's reminder that midlife crisis guy has destroyed one of our country's great newspapers. And to donate to NPR because democracy dies in darkness.

New Yorkers vote today if you haven’t and you get this

Could use some assistance from a veteran for a story I'm working on. DMs open, contact info in profile. Not a vet? Reposts much appreciated. Thanks!

Trump has normalized the “I’m just hearing about this for the first time” so much that Republicans are no longer even criticized for apparently being uninformed about everything. If you really know nothing … that’s bad too!

Technically, this is a book of spells.

and just as a reminder, no matter the uniform: If they're racially profiling, kidnapping, assaulting or killing people, they're a piece of shit.

All of the tech oligarchs paying for the literal demolition of our Nation's House seems a bit on the nose. When is someone going to come up with a human friendly alternative to the monsters? (And not just to let them be bought and buried.)

21st of Owltober! NYC Park rangers rescued a young Great Horned Owl. He was treated at Wild Bird Fund for suspected rodenticide poisoning, and sent to The Raptor Trust for longer term care.

Happy that someone is finally taking legal action against the little fluffer. His behavior is not only damaging to Grijalva's District but also the State of Arizona and the rest of the country.

Far-Flung Postcards is a weekly series in which NPR's international team shares moments from their lives and work around the world.

Unfortunately, reality is only apparent *after* elections.

Once again journalists show more courage and integrity than anyone in the Republican party.

Topics Mike Johnson thinks are serious: - Super Bowl halftime entertainer - getting a Nobel Prize for Trump - terrifying naked bike riders Topics he thinks are not serious: - Epstein Files - domestic violence - being able to keep the govt open - the neutering of Congress

A little late, but wanted to post this (much shorter than I remember) interview with the late, great Diane Keaton from ... 10 years ago (!). She was every bit as delightful as you would imagine her to be. RIP. www.azcentral.com/story/entert...

Wikipedia is the last source of reliable, unbiased information that isn't controlled by right wing billionaires, and they really REALLY want to get their hands on that, too. Please keep donating to stop that from happening. Even small amounts help. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

Shunning has a long and effective history. We remember the protests and marches by the young, but it was shunning by staid businessmen, the PTA and other clubs that drove the KKK and John Birch underground for so long. And it needs to start now. I wonder... do hashtags work here? #ShunNazis maybe?

sometimes it feels a bit on the nose that the very people wearing masks right now are often the same people who refused to wear one in 2020. try to be more subtle, writers of the America show!!!!

Wow, its almost like police want to try to work with people protesting in order to make sure there is a safe environment and so there are open lines of communication in case there are emergencies. What a conspiracy!

Lovely thread. It's about airport security & also humanity.

Knowing that there are people who watched that un-American abomination and thought it was okay is also terrifying. That is true Jim Jones, David Koresh level crazy. (I wonder if any of the "opinions" had anything original or if it was all just "Woke!" "Brainwashed" etc.)

Violent thugs are terrorizing Americans and they were sent by the White House.

The Ig Nobel is incredible , one year an Indian guy won it for calculating the average surface area of an elephant and during his acceptance they had an elephant hold up a sign with the surface area of the scientist on it, they do showbiz better than the Oscars

These “agents” like doing this. They want to do this because it’s a legal way to feed their worst compulsions. And they’ve been given full authority to do it - verbatim - by Stephen Miller and President Trump.

Stephen Miller told police they are now “unleashed.”

OMGGG! I LOVE this! 😍 I have well over 1,000 books in my house and rarely buy print editions anymore, but just pre-ordered this. REAL intelligence. 😀

Never been a big fan of country music but came upon this today. Like Dylan, the Guthries and Seeger this guy will help save the world. youtu.be/HHMkCQty-oM?...

🧵The Trump regime knows that they are destroying the economy. They will never admit this in public, but they do in private. Treasury secretary Scott Bessent was photographed reading a text from AgSec Brooke Rollins saying that Trump's tariffs made China shift soybean purchases to Argentina.

ICYMI- Arizona Republican calls for political violence- the execution of a Democrat lawmaker- and AZGOP refuses to speak out condemning it.

I keep seeing stories fretting about whether this movie will lose money, what that means for the future, etc. etc. etc. I vote that instead of worrying about all that, just GO SEE THE DAMN MOVIE, because it's really great. Here's my review: www.azcentral.com/story/entert...

I just talked to Jerod about a story he's working on about some murderous rhetoric from a GOP state rep. He asked what I thought an antidote might be. I don't have one. But I do know fascism is exploiting a journalism collapse; get your news from reporters like Jerod, not social media.
