Breaking: WASHINGTON (AP) — Judge blocks Trump administration order to end funding for National Public Radio and the Public Broadcasting Service.

My cat’s Patreon (daily pics of Heater to support my work and her vet bills) just hit 400 members everyone say good job Heater

Got a new lil guy.

Climate has almost disappeared from our conversation. But it remains the most pressing challenge of our times. Last week the WMO said the planet is “more out of balance than at any time in observed history.” Energy security and climate security are not competing priorities.

I feel sick thinking about how it’s been 14 years for Curiosity 🥹 feels like we just went through that first sky crane landing a few days ago.

Some illustration details for the upcoming board game Seagrass, published by @bitewinggames.bsky.social Kickstarter is April 7th and the unboxing is up on Youtube :)

Sometimes I don’t make my bed. Ask Mercury, Coco, and Spaghetti the Cat why, and they will say “Meow.”

I am educating my brother about Hoopla and Libby. He wanted me to help him buy him an audiobook on Spotify and I said, "But, WAIT! Do you have a library card? Cause, that audiobook you want to listen to? The library has the whole series! For freeeeeee!!!"

Did you know that strawberries are not berries, and are actually mammals?

many good boys in my sketchbook. 🐶 #art #sketchbook #traditionalart

“He’s my first born,” Susan Pretti said. “He’s the one that made me a mother. There was no reason he should have died that day.” “No,” her husband said. I urge you to read this today.

The same Republicans that gave Trump $200 million to renovate the Kennedy Center in the Big, Ugly Bill said it was too expensive to extend the ACA tax credits. Apparently, there's an unlimited budget for Trump vanity projects and zero dollars for your health care.

Bad Bunny thanked his mom for having him in Puerto Rico, told the people on the island there's nothing they can't do, and dedicated his award to all Latinos and to immigrants who keep pushing forward with a lot of strength.

Do you remember when people were saying "I think my phone is listening to me, i'm getting ads for stuff I spoke about" and people said "They arent listening to you, they're just this good at predicting your interests"? Well, it happens they were doing exactly that. www.cbsnews.com/news/google-...

Way to go, Philadelphia! The city has introduced new legislation putting real limits on ICE activity. Federal agents will no longer be allowed to operate anonymously no masks, visible identification required, and arrests must be backed by warrants signed by a federal judge.

getting feds to say shit like this on camera with their face exposed is NUTS -- you can not reform this agency, everyone involved must go, there is no practical way to root out all of these guys

At the very least, Congress must disarm ICE, prohibit it from using racial or ethnic profiling, end arrest quotas, remove agents’ immunity from criminal prosecution and civil lawsuits, and slash its funding. The Senate has the chance to rein in ICE this week. Keep calling: (202) 224-3121

ALEX JEFFREY PRETTI. Gone, but never forgotten... #RIP_Alex 💔

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game. The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives. We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

Our government is murdering the citizens of this country. They are doing it without any checks on their violence

"I'm not even mad at you dude" "Are you okay? The language of modern day terrorists, apparently.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.

My extremely elegant son. He's legit just sitting like this, staring blankly, like he forgot what he was doing. My sweet stupid son.

Who in their right mind believes statements from the Department of Homeland Security? Who believes anything Kristi Noem or Stephen Miller or Trump might say about what has just happened in Minneapolis? They no longer have any credibility. That should be clear by now. They lie like they breathe.

If this is what ICE is doing openly in broad daylight, what are they doing in the detention centers? Why are WE allowing any part of this.

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city. If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future – a lesson that feels especially relevant today.

the hardest thing about the last 5 years has been balancing my raging anxiety and tendency to catatrophize, with the fact that I am nearly always right to do so. like, my hit rate is 9.5/10. I cannot talk myself down when my predictions are correct!

I was just denied access to the ICE processing center at the Whipple Building. Members of Congress have a legal right and constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight where people are being detained. The public deserves to know what is taking place in ICE facilities.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

I don’t live in the great state of Washington anymore but I can visit any time I wish by simply taking a bite out of the corner of half a sandwich.

Grief doesn't play by the rules. This is a watercolor print that's available called "Where Do We Go From Here?", that expresses exactly how I feel.Thanks for hanging in there with me. I'll be back 100% soon I hope. 🧡

Walz: "I couldn't help but think, and it scares me a bit -- 'The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most important directive.' It certainly feels like that in this moment."

"2026" is a pretty futuristic-sounding year. 2027 is not. I can't explain this. The next big one is 2031. 2049 is gonna be huge.

Despite what we are often told, this line from Mamdani’s inauguration speech is what true pragmatism actually looks like: “Beginning today, we will govern expansively and audaciously. We may not always succeed. But never will we be accused of lacking the courage to try.”

Hey so this seems like something more people should be talking about 🤔 🗳️ www.npr.org/2025/10/23/n...

Not to be controversial but I think we should use tools and resources to make people's lives less miserable instead of more

We’re busy being jobless today.
