What a joke

Urgent policing at the reflecting pool in DC. A tourist touched the water.

Governor Lamont signed this critical piece of responsible homeschooling policy into law today! Read more here: crhe.org/connecticut-...

NESTERAK: President Trump has granted clemency to numerous individuals who have stolen hundreds of millions in Medicaid funds. Can we expect any of these folks to be shown the same mercy? McDONALD: I'll take a different question

NEW DFP Insights from @matthewcort.land: “While attacking Kennedy on his anti-vaccine policies is still convincing to voters, there is an overwhelming advantage to attacking him on his administration’s cuts to Medicaid and home care services.”

"We aren’t playing politics. We’re trying to keep this thing from coming apart. The people who gutted the Voting Rights Act are playing politics. We’re doing the unglamorous work of making sure their game doesn’t end the country."

Worse than useless leadership at HHS.

We are so proud of Connecticut for being a part of responsible homeschool reform 💙

These Ivy League kids really think they know everything

young pope leo looks like a ska scene regular who goes by Upbeat but no one knows his real name

Evangelical protestant just war theory: "war=just"

all these universities kept axing medieval history departments as if they thought tyrants beefing with the Pope was going to stop being relevant

Republicans are building a police state. Their promise to "get government off our backs" was always bullshit.

Absolutely shameful to throw your employee under the bus when they’re murdered, but that’s what happens when you’re in the dumbest cult of personality in the history of the world

The Trump Department of Homeland Security is briefing federal agencies on plans for immigration enforcement operations inside churches over the holiday season.

It’s been a pleasure working with Lex and everyone in the politics vertical at Teen Vogue. I’m heartbroken that my column, Disability Visibility, is gone. Teen Vogue was one of the few places that published disabled journalists regularly. I just spent the last 2 months working on my next column

Direct File is survived by its code, lovingly preserved on GitHub for potential revival whenever the leaders of the executive branch are no longer bent on looting the country.

NEW: The Trump administration has blocked or slowed almost $28 billion in federal aid since the shutdown began, largely harming Democratic-led cities, congressional districts and states, underscoring how the president has weaponized a fiscal stalemate www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

We are pleased to welcome Tess Ulrey of St. Joseph, Michigan as the new executive director at CRHE – a groundbreaking hire for the organization as the first full-time, permanent ED in CRHE’s 12-year history! Learn more about her here: responsiblehomeschooling.org/our-team/

The frustration: the expense & the lack of clarity & purpose on the mission to deploy at home. There is no purpose other than power. This is not ok. “I feel like maybe they would get a little boost in morale if they could just get a little bit more details.” www.cnn.com/2025/09/04/p...

If you want to put back statues and memorials and names of Confederate traitors while tearing down museum exhibitions on slavery because they don't show the greatness of the nation... the nation whose history you're celebrating is whiteness. The kind of nationalist you are is a white nationalist.

From this week's #MemoToMembers: #NLIHC urges HUD to reverse plans to drop seven fair housing cases involving disparate impact discrimination. Weakening this protection risks allowing harmful housing practices to persist without accountability. More here: nlihc.org/resource/n...

Shout out to the policy team @nlihc.org for this analysis of the bipartisan Senate housing bill!

Heat kills. A bill just reintroduced in Congress can save lives. Urge your members of Congress to back federal heat bill introduced on July 16th. Go to: act.seiu.org/a/heat2025?m... #WeFeedYou #Calor

"I asked ChatGPT" "I asked Grok" yeah well I asked my friend Joe, I asked my friend Jake, they said it was fhqwhgads

As promised, in light of the WaPo report of Everglades camp detainees being swarmed by mosquitoes in the shower and unable to sleep at night due to being bitten, I want to briefly address concentration camp history and mosquitoes. I won't be comprehensive but will give a few examples. [1/17]

Superman is the story of an immigrant who grew up in Kansas, landed a low-paying job as a reporter in Metropolis, and still had time for a hobby because urban housing was affordable.

Philosophy professor & US Citizen Jonathan Caravello has been brutally detained & effectively disappeared for trying to help a legal observer remove a teargas canister from under their wheelchair during an ICE raid on a California farm. …is a sentence I've now had to write. What… in the actual fuck

Remember when the Trump admin tried to shut down the Social Security call line — falsely claiming 40% of callers were “fraudsters”? Now they’re scrambling to fix it, because millions of Americans rely on it. You can’t gut a vital agency and then pretend to care when it breaks.

“Superman is too woke!” Literally the first page of the first ever appearance of Superman:

From a Biden appointee to whomever needs to hear it: don't be a bottleneck. If you insisted something cross your desk on its way out, block time on your calendar to read it, for goodness' sake.

Planting trees was good enough for the jobs program serving my Okie ancestors during the Depression.

A State Department employee shared with PBS News an image from inside the department. The image includes a piece of paper taped to a mirror with the words, "Colleagues, if you remain: RESIST FASCISM. Remember the oath you vowed to uphold."

Book bans are a bad look for the parents' rights extremists.

Trump promised he'd target "criminal" immigrants. Instead of pursuing gangbangers and drug-dealers, he's rounding up grandmas, gardeners, cancer-stricken kids, construction workers. He's stripping those here *legally* of their documents. Even some GOP lawmakers have now begun to criticize him:

i posted this thread on the other app last yr but wanted to put it over here bc ive been thinking again about the iraq war and the "torture debate" which was really an eye opening event politically for me....

🚨 The Senate budget bill lets the government detain immigrant families indefinitely in unlicensed facilities. This is a direct threat to children’s health and safety. Congress must reject this cruelty. 📢 Tell Congress: NO on the budget bill. youthlaw.org/voteno

Nothing whatsoever.

It's on!

Last Summer I would see so many more more people on the Mall any day I biked my son to museum camp.

RIP Alasdair MacIntyre, a towering figure the likes of which this world rarely produces. Perhaps I shouldn't be surprised that his influence extended far beyond his scholarship:

Need some enterprising group to start pushing Matthew 6:5-8 monuments in our public buildings.

EMDR is awesome. So are the right meds. I've been in therapy off and on. These days it's walks, painting miniatures, playing the banjo - the small set of activities that can get my brain into a relaxed flow state. A former colleague of mine does a weekly guided meditation for #firedfeds, it's great.

@responsiblehs.bsky.social we're trending - hooray!?!?
