Looking at the comments, let’s get it straight: THE Democrats did not cave. It was only SEVEN Democrats. What remains clear is that Schumer is weak. Can you imagine that happening under Harry Reid? Or Pelosi in the House?

Poignant

Mind boggling.

Preach it Gov!

Fact

Nice. There’s #surf, #punk, surf-punk, #country, and cow-punk. I’m in my twilight years and ai so want to put together surf-country-punk band before I’m. I’ve actually heard Marty Stuart touch on that sound. Any other bands?

So 1980s Argentina. #losdesaparecidos

I just happen to be visiting SD. Perfect timing. #NoKings

Finally, getting around to reading volume three of That Texas Blood. The best graphic novel I’ve ever read – noir, western, suspense I’ve ever read in this form.

Jim Jordon has never met a lie he couldn’t tell (or amplify).

It’s difficult sitting in the pew with someone who is cheering the terrorizing large segments of our society.

CA - YES ON 50! Dont let anyone tell you “Texas & Missouri redistricting have nothing to do with CA”. When Republicans give House Republicans more seats to tip the scales for a Republican House majority - IT AFFECTS EVERYONE IN THE NATION who are subject to R legislation/cuts/funding!

Nuff said….

Plain truth: if Democrats go along with the Republican bill, it’s a capitulation to everything ugly they have passed on a non-partisan basis.

A rainy afternoon, a wonderful homemade cappuccino, a plate of fresh ginger snaps, and watching The Curse of Frankenstein. The retired life. #classichorror #Classicfilms #HammerStudio

The Portland “warzone.”

My morning, coffee… or something like that.

California Legislature and Governor Newsom pass five bills to fight Trump’s war of terror. From the gov’s press office, “Kristi Noem is going to have a bad day today. You’re welcome, America,” #GoGetHimGavin

“The law doesn’t matter anymore” is obeying in advance.

I see Machine Pun Kelly’s “well said” and raise him one “spot on!”

Digging into these two this evening. I’ve read a lot about DC’s All In initiative. My local comic store says they can’t keep Absolute Batman on the shelves. We’ll see what the hype is about.

You just know this is coming. Republican outrage will be carefully choreographed. Oh ya, “thoughts and prayers” Charlie.

I’m a fair skinned Latino. I was detained on the border once for an hour. Being a U.S. citizen, I knew I would be released. That might not be the case today. What about my cousins who aren’t so fair. And the checkpoints, do they drag us out of cars because our names are Spanish? So fking angry!

Seriously, Trump and his MAGA governor allies have disrupted the lives of of over 2 thousand Guardsmen for political messaging. Meanwhile Trump has cut funds to states that could actually be used for crime fighting and prevention. Pathetic.

It seems simple enough, yet about half our country doesn’t get it. Makes me realize (and very sad) just how hateful half our fellow Americans really are. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

I wish the Cherries could make these transfers much earlier in the window so Andoni would have a chance to put it all together BEFORE the season, but hey…better late than never. www.sportsmole.co.uk/football/bou...

The results of Friday’s summit.

Hey truth seekers- everything you know is wrong! (Bonus points the golden Kingdom if you know the allusion)

More real-time fact checking of the Liar in Chief please!

My son goes to Japan to work with engineers and gets into a sword fight.

My second draft. Lots of juggling trying to get used to the new rules. #FPL

Didn’t like my cholesterol numbers so I fired my doctor. That’ll teach everyone.

Years ago I bought issue #1, enjoyed it immensely, but was distracted and never followed up. All the issues are bound now into two TPBs (actually saving me money!) Noir, a gritty, small Texas town and characters, a story that draws you in, and artwork that captures it all. #ThatTexasBlood #comics

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.  Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Longer living through good science

If this doesn’t put a chill down your spine…. #authortarianism #fascism

The cruelty of Republican politicians makes me sick. Many of these ghouls feed on their constituents. Disgusting.

Tulsi was almost the first one out—until she came up with a new Obama conspiracy to distract us.

A painful truth.

Support independent media anyway you can. An unencumbered, free press is truly our eyes, ears, and voice.

Watching the #MLB All Star Game Stand Up to #Cancer minute. I have multiple myeloma and just had a prostatectomy. There’s pain, fatigue, depression, all the side effects from meds, but what hurts the most- what is crushing- is watching your family endure all this with you.

Truth, Justice, and the American way…. Liberty, Equality, Tolerance, Diversty

It’s only going to get worse. My dad is from Puerto Rico, my name is full on Spanish, I’m fair skinned and speak fluent Spanish. Evidently that was enough to have me detained at the border back in the mid 80s. It takes a lot less than that now to disappear someone.

God spoketh

The Giants' 2021 regular season was an all-time outlier, and it all started with a Buster Posey speech in camp. @alexpavlovic.bsky.social dives into that in his new book, "The Franchise: San Francisco Giants: A Curated History of the Orange and Black."

I wonder who the first super hero was that chose to wear tights.
