Rick Jackson caught on tape: women must “prove” rape to access abortion. A billionaire that's out of touch with reality — is now the GOP gubernatorial candidate in Georgia. A chilling warning for Georgia voters  #GAGOV #GApolitics

I didn’t know about the earliest origin of Memorial Day until I was a grown-ass man —because some folks didn’t want us to. 2021: Memorial Day organizers cut the mic of retired Lt Col Kemter as he discussed how formerly enslaved Americans exhumed remains of soldiers to give them proper burials. 🧵

Whatever caused my health insurance company to declare that my coverage was terminated has been reversed. I will give credit to my HR benefits liaison for getting this fixed. I will sleep better tonight knowing that this snafu appears to be resolved.

Today I had a medical appointment for a frightening issue I am going through. I checked my account on the website afterwards to see that I'm now listed as terminated from service. I called the insurance provider & my HR dept. Both reassured me that I am still covered. The stress is making me cry.

A few years ago, on Enterprise Rd in PG County, MD, an assisted living facility was built next to Rt. 50. This week a permit was filed to build a funeral home & associated facilities (crematorium?) on the other side of the highway, within eyesight of the other property. Wooo. That's harsh.

First thing I do after every move is join the library.

If you're reading this, my cat and I have boarded a one-way flight out of the United States. The Trump administration wrongfully denied my work permit renewal; after months of demanding that they follow the law, we have run out of legal recourse, and I have no choice but to leave the country. (🧵)

If you can make a person stateless, you can also make them "not human." And once a person is both stateless and devoid of human status, anything you do to them will be considered acceptable up to and including mass extermination

And Republicans are just fine with this.

The most hilarious thing about this is you don't have to give it ANY context at all, and everyone still knows what it's for.🤣

Once again, it all should have ended in January 2017, when he began openly monetizing his hotel, blocks from the White House, in plain sight.

“Although the president’s aides sometimes treat him like he is a toddler, as the political scientist Daniel Drezner has observed, he’s not an especially well-behaved one.” www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

"The House agreed by unanimous consent early Friday to extend FISA until April 30 after a group of Republicans blocked attempts to pass five-year and 18-month renewals of the program." Disappointing, but not surprising. www.axios.com/2026/04/17/f...

"It isn’t hyperbolic to say that Platner, unlike Mills, offers nothing to voters. He is little more than an image—a central casting call in a forgettable blue-collar soap opera."

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

Measles is a bellwether. Because it’s the most contagious vaccine-preventable disease, when vaccination rates drop, it’s the first to start spreading. Now we’ve got mumps rolling up. Expect more. This is just the beginning of RFK Jr.’s successful infectious disease reintroduction plan.

I can’t stop crying.

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken. Hundreds of kids are still detained. We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

Members of Congress who seek to review unreleased Epstein files at Justice Dept's office must do so at 1 of 4 computer terminals, with pencils to take notes Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) tells CBS News: "They're not organized. There's no way to go through them. It's just a huge data dump"

I guess that I won't be able to watch the Olympics this year.

we are 11 years into the cycle of - trump makes loud unambiguous announcement - media regurgitates announcement - turns out none of it is true - media, trump have already moved on to restart the cycle

So, Trump is going to tear down the Kennedy Center this summer. What will be left in a few years?

For those commenting on the agents' surnames.

Maria Santay, a U.S. citizen and community observer, live-streamed masked ICE agents detaining her after they boxed in her car from all sides and smashed her window. Local police showed up and did nothing. She was denied access to a restroom, and forced to pee in the parking lot while handcuffed.

The backyard is a complete sheet of ice and my little dog (miniature poodle -- not built for this mess) insists on wandering through the whole yard. Me: yelling from the backdoor for him to come back. My dog: enacting one of Billy's wandering scenes from Family Circus.

Today is the 81st anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz Holocaust Remembrance Day. One of the great honors of my life was bearing witness to the stories of the survivors.

It's the responsibility of his staff to keep him abreast of what is going on, what his constituents want and are demanding. So, either Suozzi ignored the work his employees are doing or he willfully made an informed decision that he now regrets.
