Eagles Fans Despondent After 31-0 Victory

Just noting that no one is ever going to seize a tanker full of solar energy www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/1...

Just read a terrible right-wing column in the WaPo claiming that literacy and verbal skills are feminine, so it oppresses boys to emphasize them. (Apparently boys should just make clubs in shop--she deplores the end of shop too--and communicate with them.)

The last time Indiana won an outright Big Ten title, 1945, the leading rusher was George Taliaferro. The next spring, he was the first Black player to be drafted by an NFL team.

🔴 Russian forces attacked at least 16 locations of Ukraine's power grid, according to monitoring channels. It total, 704 drones and missiles were deployed in the attack.

RFK Jr: "Two weeks ago we ended, under your leadership, a twenty year war on women". Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

I knocked a few hundred doors for a school board candidate this past November. He won ousting the moms for liberty incumbent by 74 votes! I’m going to continue to focus my efforts to help these candidates. They don’t have a lot of volunteers or a big pot of money.

In April 2009, the Washington Post asked 10 writers to make the case for something that deserves to be tossed out as part of "spring cleaning." I chose Larry Summers. Better late than never. Unlocked version of my 16-year-old article below. naomiklein.org/why-we-shoul...

@coolauntclaire.bsky.social look what Beth got today at the Brattleboro coop We chatted about our mutual admiration of you

Hey Megyn Kelly, 14-year-old Eloise would like a word: “If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good… because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.” Sound up! 🔥🔊 1/2

I received this email about Democrats caving to end the shutdown from one of the SNAP recipients I spoke to:

No health care, no deal.

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.

The Clash’s Paul Simonon, running into some young street musicians, will make your day. 💕 🎸 @theclash.com @faroutmagazine.co.uk

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy wants air traffic controllers who are not being paid to "show up because it's their job." How about Congressional Republicans show up and do their job by ensuring all federal workers are paid, travelers are safe, and our healthcare is protected? seiu.co/482c2SH

HAPPY FOUR SEASONS TOTAL LANDSCAPING DAY TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE

The SNAP contingency fund holds around $6 billion. Trump refuses to spend it on the American people. The same guy who just fast-tracked $40 billion to Argentina. Trump thinks Argentina deserves our money while he lets Americans starve.

If sandwich shops don’t start offering a sandwich named “the acquittal” then what are we even doing

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

Women should have jobs, but Ross Douthat shouldn’t.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions "Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

It's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities. [Cartoon by Jesse Duquette]

During the shutdown, Trump could find $40 billion to bail out Argentina & $300 million for a ballroom to host dinner parties with billionaires, but he won’t tap emergency funds to prevent millions of American kids from going hungry? How cruel is that?

Today is Larry Itliong Day in CA, honoring the Filipino American labor leader whose union members began the Delano Grape Strike on 9/8/65. They asked Cesar Chavez’s National Farm Workers Association to join their picket lines. The rest is history. More: www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube. Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X). *1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.” youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc

"In settlement and compromise of the Released Claims in this Agreement, UCLA shall pay the United States the sum of One Billion Dollars ($1,000,000,000.00), payable in equal installments."

There is a lot of awful in the world so it’s so refreshing and nice to see good shining through.

Today I will just share with you the beautiful poem from our friend Morgan Brown that we shared 4 years ago. www.endhomelessnessvt.org/donate.html #vtpoli #crisisinvt #massunsheltering #massunhousing #housed802 #endhomelessness #DisabilityRightsAreHumanRights

A picture is worth 1,000 words.

Here's a gift link to the New York Times' coverage of the initial Tea Party rallies in April 2009 which inspired the media to treat it like a massive movement. Check out how tiny the crowds were: Philly: 200 DC: "several hundred" Boston: 500 Austin: 1,000 Houston: 2,000

Edwardian butt-plug. Certain leaders today should look into this decidedly no-nonsense design.

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."

in 2011, the president of antifa hired me to give fashion consultancy to the organization. i recommended everyone wear navy suits with tan shoes, dress sneakers, and golf polos with slim chinos. if you arrested everyone today wearing these things, you'd destroy antifa

I'm asking YOU: What will a doubling of health care premiums mean for your family? What it will mean if you're one of the 15 million being thrown off their health care? Please comment below or submit a story here: tinyurl.com/3rbdfdmz

Orwell more helpful on the term in a political context.

AOC: When everyone says makes an exception here or makes an exception there, and then before you know it, you have masked agents roaming the streets of this country that do not feel entitled to identify themselves

This government shut down is all about whether Republicans will get away with raising health care premiums by 75% for 20 million Americans and throwing 15 million people off their health care. We can't allow that to happen.

Someone asked if I was ready for the fall, and it actually took me a moment to realize that they meant autumn, not the complete collapse of democracy.
