if someone is willing to pay for the products, i'd be willing to purchase these items, deconstruct them, and give them to expert tailors, shoemakers, and craftspeople for review. i will also see if i can track down the factories. i would be interested to know if these items are made in the US

His body will be renditioned to D.C. for the services on an unmarked CIA plane.

St. Peter at the Pearly Gates: Did you live by the Ten Commandments? Mike Johnson: I have no idea. I have not seen those

On this day 225 years ago, John Adams moved into the still-not-quite-complete White House, becoming the first president to occupy it. His blessing was carved into the State Dining Room mantel in 1945: "May none but Honest and Wise Men ever rule under This Roof.”

Smartest Idea I've seen today. (Posted by a woman named Sue Festa on @50501movement.bsky.social NJ) What do you say, @warren.senate.gov? @duckworth.senate.gov? @duckworth.senate.gov? @slotkin.senate.gov? @amyklobuchar.com? Maybe all the Dem women divide it up?

This morning we dropped off 5,000+ petition signatures in Springfield, nearly 5x what we needed to get on the ballot. IL-09 is ready for change, and we couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you. See you on the ballot on March 17.

When humans look at something we find beautiful our brains release dopamine, lifting mood & if we connect with what we're looking at oxytocin, giving us a sense of belonging.

Just heard a national radio network news announcer refer to the New York Mafia families of Gambino, Genovese, and "LouChasey"....

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

Y'all are amazing. Keep blocking!

Remember when Hillary Clinton got excoriated for calling Trump supporters “deplorables”

Of course he will. She probably has copies of every single video that DOJ has, if not more. It's a powerful bargaining chip.

"Call me Ishmael. And then - when you find the time of course - call me with those #EpsteinFiles."

Opposing counsel is led by Patrick Fitzgerald. Let the mismatch shenanigans begin!

This is Annie. She is a dental therapy dog. Her job is to help patients experiencing anxiety by providing emotional support. While dentists go through years of schooling to treat patients Annie is able to lower their blood pressure and reduce anxiety just by being there. 14/10 (TT: funny.bunny9215)

After scoring a touchdown against Notre Dame, why doesn't the opposing team do a vicious parody of the Riverdance?

As I told @newrepublic.com, "Once last week, twice today, ICE has picked me up and thrown me on the ground. Honestly, it doesn’t compare to what our neighbors who are trapped inside the Broadview processing facility are going through. They’re committing crimes against humanity there."

Sixty Seconds of Streamside Serenity Bonus bit of SuperDog Rex becomes creeks are the best.

Meanwhile, employees are volunteering for 72-hour shifts and the dogs are cleaning their own cages.

Let me suggest that if I have tanks invade my city, that if the courts declare me a second-class citizen, that if masked men abduct my neighbors, and I go to you, my rep, and say “help me fight my persecutors,” and you say “shush, talk about healthcare subsidies,” you, too, are my persecutor

A large and loud U.S. Army helicopter just flew over the north side of Chicago. Dark green color with a white star near the rear of the body. Not an Osprey aircraft.

If you hear about a Mexican Independence Day celebration in your area, go. There is strength in numbers and — especially if you’re white — you can protect your community just by being there and not flinching if ICE shows up. These goons are cowards. Don’t be one.

Fuck YEAH! Netflix isn't stupid. "thank you" CBS

Here, fixed it.

"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife. Unless he's looking for the #EpsteinFiles"

"It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen. And at 13:30, everyone was screaming WHERE ARE THE #EPSTEINFILES?"

"If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born... and where those goddamned #EpsteinFiles are at"

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. And speaking of worst, where are those #EpsteinFiles?"

These dedicated FBI agents, fired before they were pension eligible, including a father of young children who lost his wife to cancer last month, are worthy of our support. Please take a minute to read: www.supporttheirservice.com

I'm very grateful for this. Europe understands the stakes and I hope more of my fellow Americans PAY ATTENTION!!!

Fascism is here. We are not “getting closer” or “in danger of.” This matters because it frames our discussion: We aren’t trying to prevent it, we’re trying to defeat it. It’s not taking over our institutions, it’s taken them over. Otherwise, we’re always behind, fighting a past we’ve already lost.
