Delia, Delia, dear sweet Delia-D How the hell can I arrest him? He's twice as big as me. Well don't ask me to go downtown, I won't come back alive Not only is that mother big but he packs a .45

I’m in DC wondering why the National Guard is here. I’ve seen small clumps of them, standing outside Metro stations, pointing tourists (like me) where we need to go. They’re very polite and friendly. Why are those poor kids here? Send them home!!!

But it won’t work that way. The inverse Democrat —> Republican karmic victory lap is not transitive b/c Dem guilt over the impropriety dilutes the energy required to manifest the proper responses, instead producing the best thing Dems can think of about him, “He had excellent handwriting…”

This is insane.

Not to be wasted, though, his entire working wardrobe will march on in an El Paso community theater production of Cabaret.

goddamn is this a breath of fresh air after Allred 2024

The best twists in the final book are when the good guys turn out to be the bad guys.

Like the rain fallin’ down, y’all…

our boy's on it

Photography is not neutral. Cartography is not neutral. In data science we know that one data point, no matter how well measured, can't show the full picture. We take lots of observations, the more the better, so as to be representative. A single map, a single photo, can never be objective.

It seems to me that white supremacists are the ones having trouble assilimilating to life in America, and they have since the start. That sounds like a “them” problem.

If only this had been foreseeable.

THIS IS SPINAL TAP was released 42 years ago this week. Widely regarded as one of the funniest comedies ever made, and the film that spawned the ‘mockumentary’, the behind the scenes tale goes to 11… 1/40

There’s never enough money for schools or healthcare or veterans. But there’s always enough money to bomb people on the other side of the world. We can support the democracy movement in Iran without bombing innocent schoolchildren and sending our American troops off to die.

Interesting article about rattlesnakes. They were everywhere around my last house in Austin, on the edge of the Hill Country. I didn’t wish them ill, but I did wish they weren’t so close…

New: A Houston woman is suing Tesla in Harris County, alleging that her Cybertruck, while using Tesla's "Full Self-Driving mode" tried to drive the car off of a bridge. Here is the dashcam footage provided by her lawyers: www.chron.com/culture/arti...

We offered to fund TSA. No conditions. Republicans refused. They want the hostage, to extract more ICE money with. No ICE reforms

Talarico points out the hypocrisy of the Christian right *in their own language*. I’ve gleefully watched him calmly eviscerate the most loathsome Texas GOP hypocrites with their own arguments. He is the kind of progressive Jesus would’ve been—a Medicare4All progressive. Do not be scared.

It seems like Dems everywhere have lost their minds which means they are complicit. We have to reckon with that and clean house with all the tools in our toolbox IMMEDIATELY if we want this country to survive. We keep screwing around, hoping something will change. Get serious, people.

They say this as though the Russians are an ally expected to heed us and not our existential threat driving the forces successfully dismantling our government and society.

Watch what you hear now Make sure it's clear now Just 'cause it's said, that don't mean that it's true

Had a lovely customer come in last night while I was working late. Dude was blown away by what I've been doing. It felt really great. It's kind of funny to see folks who live three miles away discover something amazing in their neighborhood. I'm trying hard to tell y'all!

the Austin mass shooter was a Tesla employee who assaulted a coworker during a company-allowed prayer break late last year the company refused to give the victim her assailant's name so she could press charges, and he went on to become a mass shooter www.statesman.com/business/art...

Remember when you had to pay separately for a long distance call and it was expensive?

With 13 of our 20 contested races called, at least 8 @runforsomething.net candidates in TX either won outright, moved to run offs, or moved on to the general yesterday. Hell yeahhhhhh.

When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946. In 2007, the US president was born in 1946. In 2017, the US president was born in 1946. And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.

Wait, is Trump doing this war out of Mar-a-Lago instead of the WH because he thinks there's a risk of Washington being hit with a terrorist attack or something, in retaliation for his strikes on Iran? Because my guy, I think the terrorists could also find Mar-a-Lago, I am just saying.

It helps to understand the military was the organ by which the wealthy stole our money and the resources from around the world and now it is controlled by criminals who don’t even bother hiding their crimes and are willing to rent it out to the highest bidder without hesitation.

Awesome Texas Democratic primary numbers—far outstripping GOP early votes despite a serious challenge to the long time senate incumbent. Pretty interesting stuff.

Whether it was the stroke, his subsequent depression, or other factors, he changed after his election. I don't believe he was faking who he was before. Not the guy who was ahead of the curve on same-sex marriage and loved pissing off Harrisburg Repubs, and who loyally served our progressive Gov. 7/

Schumer & Jeffries wanted this war with Iran. They're only upset they weren't included. Just read their statements. Earlier this month, Schumer said, "I have many jobs as leader … and one is to fight for aid to Israel, all the aid that Israel needs.” Look at the money AIPAC gives Jeffries.

@massago.bsky.social — is there something you can do?

@peterneronha.bsky.social — is there something you can do?

Stop pre-negotiating. Stop telling voters they have to sacrifice minorities and the marginalized to have a chance of winning. Stop telling voters to settle, to not ask for everything, to be reasonable. Don't be reasonable. Demand the world. The world belongs to us. They don't have more right to it.

Democratic leaders think they are minority party of governing coalition, rather than opposition party to authoritarian regime.

All you need to know about the SOTU, you can learn from @mcsweeneys.net.

This Epstein thing has been going on for years and years, but I haven’t expected anything to come of it b/c…Trump skates every time. I don’t even engage on it. But THIS seems like something real.

Ewwww

jeezus he sucks so freaking much

"I forced the shape of English onto resisting tongues and then dared to call it 'broken.'"

Maybe if we explained to them that taxes are like a convenience fee but for democracy and schools

This may exceed the recommended depth for my snowblower

Wild!

I learned something, but at what cost?

Imagine the ICE bucks they’ll cash in on during the World Cup and Olympics. That might just start WWIII.

I don't feel represented at any WWE event.

To my mind, this is the single tweet that explains 95% of the energy behind the MAGA movement.
