Northern CA coast is hard to capture on camera but quite lovely

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

A little backgound about Kimmel issue. While Disney does have govt business, Nexstar (with 200 stations) is a major distributor of its content. It is trying to merge with another network, Tegna, with 60+ stations. Guess who has to pass on that merger & all the $$$$ it represents. Trump Admin FCC.

All right, I wrote about it:

Thank you!

The precise moment when and where in recent weeks America crossed that invisible line from democracy into authoritarianism can and will be debated by future historians, but it’s clear that the line itself has been crossed. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/america-ti...

@bobmouldmusic.bsky.social A fine night to see Bob Mould in lovely Novato CA. Thanks for the great show and for decades of great music!

"Perhaps my favorite word in the English language is “kind.” We can talk all we want about “love,” but without kindness, love is hollow—kindness is love in action." kellyscaletta.substack.com/p/the-christ...

Wait how long has Steve Earle’s music been used for Chevy ads?? I am confused here.

Ex-farm worker here. We need to talk about this whole "But a living wage for farm workers would spike the cost of food!" thing. Not true AT ALL. Y'all don't understand how fast experienced farm workers are. The average tomato picker pulls 650lbs per hour. At $20/hr, that's $0.03/lb for labor.

“Judges at the European Court of Human Rights ruled that Russia was responsible for widespread violations of international law — from shooting down Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 in 2014, to the murder, torture, rape, destruction of civilian infrastructure and kidnapping of Ukrainian children …

Rep. Andy Ogles -- who apparently lied about his undergrad major, his fake graduate degrees, his past careers variously as an economist, a cop, and an expert in international sex crimes and so much more -- says that if another politician "fudged" about his own past then he should be deported.

My boss’s daughter used my desk for a couple of days while I was away. I don’t know what he tells people about me but this list that she left for me pretty much sums up my ambitions.

As marines descend on LA, as Trump moves closer and closer to martial law, it will be tempting to victim-blame. To equivocate. To find some reason the protesters deserve what’s coming. They don’t.

They’re here they’re live it’s the Minus 5. A fine night out at the Chapel in SF seeing a fine and underappreciated band.

Spare me the fake outrage. None of these people showing up for court are criminals of any kind. As a prosecutor, I worked with many ICE officers who arrested violent criminals. None of them wore masks. Many of your agents are clearly ashamed to carry out your orders.

25% tax on Apple products while singling out the CEO by name for retribution, 50% tax on European goods, expulsion of foreign students, bill passed with most debt in history, while hosting a dinner for people who gave you $300+ million. All in the last 24 hours. The Golden Age.

There’s money in the budget to hire staff to administer work requirements that don’t save any money and leave people without health care. Now THAT’S efficiency.

The killer awoke before dawn. He put his boots on. He paid a visit to his brother and then he paid a visit to his sister. AND THEN HE WALKED ON DOWN THE HALL.

11 months ago The Guardian wrote a piece exposing the anonymous white nationalist known as "Lomez" on Twitter and who ran the press that published racists books by Steve Sailer. Today, Ross Douthat granted Lomez a friendly interview in the New York Times. www.theguardian.com/world/articl...

This is all true but Trump DID release the JFK files and came out strongly and decisively against the minting of pennies. A mixed record!!

Pierre Poilievre lost his own seat in Ontario. A stunning loss for Conservatives in Canada after Trump injected himself into the race.

My story breaking this news exclusively was 7K+ words and had almost all of this in it, and more: www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

Well this all seems completely normal and not at all disturbing

Little El Sobrante gets in on the act #handsoff

Our hearts are with Myanmar today. Also filled with tremendous sorrow and shame for our country that USAID isn't there to help.

Very interesting post. Thanks!

Whiskeyleaks Whiskeyleaks Spilling deets with his Signal freaks Is he drunk? Listen bud He’s got Woodford Reserve for blood Oh shit Here comes Whiskeyleaks

The perfect metaphor for what the Supreme Court did to this country with Citizens United v. FEC.

These pictures are great!

The Washington Post editorial this morning essentially equating Biden's questionable pardons with Trump's outrageous Jan. 6 pardons was unconscionable. The newspaper I've been part of for 48 years has utterly lost its soul.

Good times at the Fillmore in SF seeing Frank Black playing Teenager of the Year. Nice to see you all onstage again!

Why is it that people who love fake boobs and hair plugs are so freaked out by gender affirming medicine?

Well said.

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public. He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit. Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

Ski day at Alta. This place is barely half open but still such a fine ski day. This trip I learned that I shouldn’t try to keep up with a 15 year old.

On the 8 amski bus to Alta…. ❄️❄️

So... is there still no way in this otherwise perfectly fine app to rotate text on an iphone?

New, from me: Trump and his Secretary of Defense are proposing a purge of military officers. To understand what this means, I talked to military experts and looked at Trump's accusations of "woke Generals." Bottom line: The purge represents a huge democratic risk.🧵 open.substack.com/pub/donmoyni...

UPDATE: The tsunami threat has now passed, according to the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center.

Happy gravy-soaked leftovers day to all.

There's an aspect of Trump's $25K donation to Pam Bondi, after which her office killed an investigation of the scam that was Trump University, that almost no news stories are mentioning, but it's important not to lose sight of, because it speaks to Trump's criminality. Come with me on this 🧵...

This is an echo of the general election. The trans Democrat is blamed for "sparking" the crisis despite the fact she did nothing beyond be herself. Before she arrived to DC, or made any demands, the GOP preemptively turned her identity into a political issue. So, who is doing identity politics?

Great to see Richard Thompson out in the wild with his band. That man and his grandson can both play some fine guitar. So nice to hear them play.
