Happy Circulatory System Walking Through the Kitchen Day! Don’t forget to smash your clocks!

This is fucking brilliant, and you should read it: lithub.com/maybe-dont-t...

Is this in question? The entire existence of ICE can be attributed to Cheney’s influence over GWB after 9/11 that led to the creation of DHS.

Never pass up a history lesson from Derek Guy. When Republicans talk about bringing back coal jobs, they want to benefit the bosses, not the workers.

I'm having flashbacks to 2002, when many of us were saying "Homeland Security? I'm not sure that's a great idea..."

Un-fucking-believable.

What five pieces of media (books, TV, movies, music, etc.) were most responsible for forming your personality? Not your favorites per se, but the ones that most influenced who you are now. (I know @deaconblues1979.bsky.social will have a good answer to this one.)

Is @merkley.senate.gov doing what @booker.senate.gov did and we’re only paying a small amount of attention????? Also, Merkley has been training for something for the past three months and he said it was a race to save the Senate but now I’m wondering if it was for this

Hello from Baltimore the hellhole! #nokings

hey girl… @anyuse.bsky.social @1dgrn.bsky.social @deaconblues1979.bsky.social

Live your life in such a way that millions of people are not disappointed to learn that you are neither dead nor incapacitated.

@ariellaelm.bsky.social is doing amazing work cataloging Democratic efforts to fight what is going on. So before you say Democrats aren’t doing anything/enough, read this whole thread and then follow her.

This news may have broken me.

Indeed, let us join them. @anyuse.bsky.social @1dgrn.bsky.social

Ahem.

The party of “merit” has confirmed someone whose only prior experience is being a local county judge and district attorney and who hasn’t practiced in a courtroom in 20 years. My only consolation is that she will hate having to work for a living for a fraction of what she made at Fox.

And yet they complain that the Postal Service and the NIH don’t turn a profit.

Didn’t he literally JUST criticize Powell for the Fed building renovations? I know we can’t expect consistency but come on.

Aside from the fact that this is infuriating because Vought doesn’t know a damn thing about what NIH does, but also I just discovered that Vought is *younger* than me. Evil really ages you.

This really stupid thing is that Garrett and Allegheny County, where the floods were, is Trump Country. Gov. Moore should go out there and explain exactly what their hero thinks of them.

When I was in middle school, I created a text-based baseball computer game in BASIC (yes I was a nerd). But there was something wrong with the programming that I could never solve - the game would cycle through like 9 strikes before it ever called a batter out. This is what AI reminds me of.

I received an answering machine from Ray Bradbury. In the late 90s, I wrote him a letter seeking the rights to compose an opera of Fahrenheit 451. Rather than write back, he called me personally and politely turned me down over the phone. I saved that message for years.

Every single one of these stories needs to be hung around the necks of those in power.

Aside from the obvious, this is such a bizarre statement because it's not how football teams operate. Winning teams obsessively review playbacks and drill the players to figure out how they can improve for the next game. It's not about blame - it's about how not to make the same mistakes next time.

Holy shit

This is my United States of Whatever.

Ok, top five favorite books - go! Cloud Atlas - David Mitchell The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle - Stuart Turton The Secret History - Donna Tartt A Wrinkle in Time - Madeleine L’Engle Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency - Douglas Adams (could only add 4 photos) Man that was hard! #booksky

Wow that’s a really good way of putting it. Oof.

Pioneers famously shat in gold toilets and married Eastern European supermodels before bankrupting six companies.

The fiscal conservatives in the GOP just added $4 trillion to the deficit to give the wealthiest people on earth a tax cut. The pro-family party just took healthcare away from 17 million Americans to give ICE a bigger budget than Brazil’s military. The single most inhumane bill ever passed.

I don't know how to react to the thinkpieces that say we as Democrats need to stop talking down to Republicans and treating them like we think they're stupid.

This seems like a wholesale failure of our entire system of government.

If it took 8 days to build a massive concentration camp in Florida then it means they could build and house the homeless at any point but choose not to

Why would anyone want this? (Other than publishers trying to avoid paying royalties to a human author.)

Goddammit.

This one goes out to everyone who told us we were hysterical in 2016 for being concerned about the future of the Supreme Court.

Well done NYC!

I would burn everything I own, leave town, change my name, and never come back.

Hello from #NoKings Towson!

This exactly. The “distraction” framing ignores the fact that any one of these things would have been career-ending at any other time in history.

waste fraud and abuse
