About 10 minutes ago a fighter jet was heard scrambling over Northern Virginia (I'm in PWCo). Anybody know anything about that?

Again I say into the void: stop saying the ICE officer had no time to think. Time doesn’t start when the drama starts. They drove up. They walked up. They engaged. Stop saying there is only reflex, no thought. If so, stop arming ambulatory startle reflexes & calling them cops

JFC! I usually watch the Rose Bowl game every year just as a tradition (I don't care who's playing), but these fucking government propaganda commercials are just too fucking much. These assholes are ruining everything.

Just a couple of murderous thugs having a chat in the peoples' house.

1/ A Russian soldier has spoken of his experience of mutinying with his comrades against his commander and subsequently deserting. "Don't go to fight, no matter what they promise you," he says. "There's only one thing there—death." ⬇️

RORY! RORY! RORY! 😂

Heads up Virginians: want to get the newest covid shot right now? Get your dr. to send a covid vaccine rx to your local pharmacy. We tried to get the Pfizer shot a week ago & couldn't. Pharmacy called us today to say that Pfizer had just arrived, but we needed an RX in order to get the shot now.

Tommy Fleetwood is a class act. Well done!

It's a high bar, but this from @radleybalko.bsky.social might be one of the most fucked up things I've read in the new Trump era. For context, this TX lawyer had just had an informal conversation with a family caught up in ICE raids. Seriously. Read this. radleybalko.substack.com/p/the-courag...

Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

Sue Gordon to Nichole Wallace, "The work of the nation, the work of creating quiet so that people's lives, and so that national security can happen" is the most cogent description of govt day to day work that I have heard from a former HIGH level govt employee. An accurate description of govt work.

The admin officials talking about using tariffs to return manufacturing to the US a.) do not know anything about trade, b.) do not understand how tariffs work, c.) do not understand how global supply chains work, d.) do not understand what a modest percentage of overall output, trade or jobs...

OSSOFF FOR THE WIN!

OMFG I am so fucking ashamed of what the American people have done to us with these sorry motherfuckers.

The case for Democrats to start holding televised, primetime opposition hearings featuring civil servants fired by Trump & Musk, Americans hurt by baseless cuts, and scholars on authoritarian regimes. quartzevelyn.substack.com/p/the-urgent...

Here's the thing. Federal retirees have direct deposit for, um, everything. If Noem/Trump/Musk can claw back federal $$ from NYC, who's to say they can't claw back annuities, social security, IRS refunds, etc. from anyone they choose?

Worth the thirteen minutes.

This is a "Who's side are you on?" moment. Some of us already see that; others will not until it's too late. However, we must inform our elected officials that it should not take another January 6th to regain clarity on Donald Trump.

What I'm saying (crib/edit as needed): "Hi, I'm a constituent. I'm horrified by Trump's recent anti-trans executive orders. This is morally wrong, & affects so many people in our commonwealth. I'm calling to ask you to publicly state that MA won't comply with them. Thank you for representing me."

Before you ask a Rep or Senator what they are doing, ask yourself what you are doing. 1. Call Your Reps and Senators - if Blue, thank them. other Reps and Senators. the Speaker's Office; the Senate Leader. your Governors. If Blue, thank them. 2. Use @resistbot to sign petitions.

Resisting MAGA bull shit, anti-vaxx disinformation, pseudoscience, and woo-fuckery. Your resource for evidence based health care information for these difficult times.

The level of disrespect the nominees have for the institutions of government is also indicative of the disrespect MAGA has for, well ... everything. Bondi's attitude is disgusting. MAGA demands that we respect them all. Nope. I'll call them incompetent lackey boobs for the rest of my life.

Kitty Boy! He's a pretty boy! 💞😺

Remember 8 years ago when WH briefings with Sean Spicer became must-watch just for the circus aspect? It's going to be a nonstop fire hose of that crap starting in a couple of weeks. I will rely on bsky for updates. Buckle up, friends.

Kitty Boy, right, with his late sister, Kitty Girl, in 2008 (we said goodbye to her in 2020 😿). #caturday #cats

This is what I liked about the other place a few years ago. Real-time accurate info (Speaker of the House vote). Thanks to those posting this info. 💙

Hot Type: The Cult of the Billionaire In my latest column for @bylinetimes.bsky.social, I write that instead of glorifying hoarders of vast un-spendable wealth, the world must finally wake up to the huge damage they are doing. 1/🧵 www.bylinesupplement.com/p/hot-type-t...

Kitty Boy (aka KB) in the seasonal spirit in 2012. Look at that face! 💞

Paul Reickhoff just now on Deadline White House summarizing Tim Snyder re: Trump 2.0 - "Don't just be scared, be prepared." Paul says to be prepared for every dangerous course of action. In other words, no sleeping on the job, people!

My father-in-law had polio. He had to relearn how to walk. I am so worried about what’s going to happen to our children and grandchildren.

JFC . . . CNN (Fox-Lite) just now on Erin Burnett airing footage of Tucker Carlson "interviewing" Putin. Back to not watching any freaking cable news.
