“Doctored Image” ? Hell, it has a fighter jet merged with an eagle head. We know it was doctored. It doesn’t explain him tweeting said doctored image.

Anyone scrape the local Craigslist ads to see what they were paying people to attend? bsky.app/profile/matt...

So disappointed to not find me listed there.

An mRNA treatment for PANCREATIC CANCER was in trials, among many other uses. Choosing to end this research is choosing to sentence millions to an early, painful death

Republicans are dancing with joy over these claims, but totally ignored similar claims about Pete Hegseth.

She is terrified, but so brave.

He did promise to dump shit all over the country, so…

Rolling Over? Hell, they should go haunt everyone that voted for these doofuses.

Virginia is the latest state to join the National Popular Vote Compact, bringing it to 220 out of 270 electoral votes needed to go into effect (court challenges notwithstanding). Story from @npr.org:

Someone please yell: YOU KILLED THE POPE, YOU BASTARD! That crowd is small enough to be heard.

Maybe treat Mar-a-Lago like Sodom and Gomorrah.

14th of April 1775. The Society for the Relief of Free Negroes Unlawfully Held in Bondage, the first American abolition group, was founded in Philadelphia. Led mostly by Quakers, it aimed to abolish slavery and was reorganized in 1784. #history #OTD #1770s

21-years-old and running for State Rep. Jay Morris is proof you don’t have to “wait your turn” to lead. This Celebrate Diversity Month, we need more young people bringing real lived experience into office. Your turn? bit.ly/Run4what

I mean, a guy can dream…

A huge victory for the LGBTQ+ community! The Pride flag belongs to the people. No wannabe king can erase that history or take that symbol away from us!

Another step in the right direction!! Don’t neglect your local offices, and consider running for something:

Should be part of his next test.

Still happening.

The same people who say the Pope should stay out of politics want to force prayer and the Ten Commandments in public schools

A little something for your morning:

Your 9 o'clock photo is actually a video, and your 77 seconds of nature zen. Sounds of early spring are happening at a marsh near Vancouver, Washington: Coots, greater yellowlegs, yellow-headed blackbird, red-winged blackbird, marsh wren, common yellowthroat. Some winter species remain, but quiet.

Thread

Maddow on what keeps despots in power and why they fall apart: "Nobody actually likes a corrupt despot. They all just support him because they think he's going to be in power forever so you need to stay on his right side in order to get anything for yourself."

NEW—I got an exclusive excerpt from a USAID whistleblower's new book that made me gasp multiple times. It details Trump's dismantling of the humanitarian aid agency & his team/DOGE's shocking ignorance to public health. 'Into the Wood Chipper' by Nicholas Enrich is out tomorrow. Read excerpt here:

And he characterized what his did as "mistakes". A mistake is when you type "here" when you really meant to type "hear". What he did was NO MISTAKE. This "male entitlement" of using power to control women has got to stop.

The share of renewables in Australia’s most #coal dependent grid hit 80 per cent for first time, driven largely by #solar, as big batteries hit new gigawatt #milestones.

Tax day is upon us. I know many people wait until the last minute like i have and depend on the post mark showing they’ve sent their filling on time. Here’s why that might not be the case www.npr.org/2025/10/23/n...

Queue it up, America.

Many of us non-supporters have been asking this since 2015. The parallels between the prophecies and the manifestation are pretty uncanny.

I love how I get a fucking 'verify you are human' challenge on every website but bots are allowed to freely scrape everything including the work of actual humans.

I never tire of watching these Downfall subtitle bits whenever Trump is being handed major losses in his authoritarian efforts. Sie sind wirklich sehr lustig. 😂😂😂

Started with paying the audience to cheer. Still paying the audience to perform.

Calls are highly effective. However, here is a form letter as well. act.npca.org/page/92967/a...

The ongoing success of Reaganomics, apparently.

Hundreds of thousands of people with Temporary Protected Status followed every rule and built lives here. Now Trump wants to deport them anyway. Tell Congress: stop these cruel TPS deportations and codify these protections immediately.

There was once a huge scandal when President Jimmy Carter’s brother Billy decided to pee on an airport runway in front of the press corps. If Trump unzipped and peed in front of the press corps, it would be the 12th or 13th craziest, and least damaging, thing he did that day.

I guess that means he’ll have to save Shinto, Hindu, Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism followers for this week.

It's getting to the point where I've lost track of which circle of hell this is

A little something for your morning:

An awful lot of people disregard cormorants. Yet, look at the pelagic cormorant in tonight's 9 o'clock photo! Green head, purple neck, red mark at base of bill, white patches on wings illustrate these can be very attractive birds! Dive to 2 minutes. As seen along Seattle's waterfront, 10 March 2026

One down. Three to go.

"How would you help advance the President’s Executive Orders and policy priorities?" has been a standard question for new federal job applicants since Trump changed federal hiring policies. Hope that makes you feel better about air travel. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-politi...

Something tells me the Kukeris folk dance in Bulgaria and Budapest really works to keep out the evil! Goodbye, Orban! 👺👹

State Dept. employees tasked with evacuating Americans from danger zones laid off during DOGE purge. "Many found themselves stranded in an expanding [Persian Gulf] war zone.... That’s because the Trump admin. fired hundreds of key State Department personnel..." theintercept.com/2026/04/12/a...

Péter Magyar victory speech: "We want to make a country where no one is persecuted because they think differently or because someone loves in a different way to others." He may not have campaigned as a liberal. But this is a huge change of direction and rhetoric from Orbán’s anti-LGBTQ+ crusade.

Siri, how many days is it until the United States midterms? I'm feeling Hungary. 😋 "​Just over 200 days. The elections are November 3. During this cycle, all 435 seats in the House & 35 of the 100 seats in the Senate will be up for election. There will also be 39 gubernatorial elections."

It's finally finished! our little free library. The top shelf will be stocked with feminine hygiene products and some other essentials. Let me know if you have any ideas for other items that could go into a free library/pantry.
