Watching a series from the 90s set in 60s UK & first off the music... Must've cost a fortune but original 1960s music from the Beatles to the Who is fantastic. 2nd- the rights of women? Its easy to forget sometimes just how fresh are women's right to bodily autonomy/finance/safety etc. Shocking.

Im still screaming at any screen brave enough to tell me about Polis pardoning Tina Peters. If you pass a ranting woman staring at her phone or screaming alone in her her car... say Hi!

Every day gets SO much worse. Its stomach turning.

I'm no fancy-schmancy political scientist or nothing, but I don't think a country where the president can declare himself, his descendants, and his companies immune from prosecution in perpetuity is a democracy.

Does anyone remember the first time you learned about Nuclear power waste? How long it lasts & how we "dispose" of it? I was in the 5th grade & mind blown. Even then, I remember thinking that math seemed sketchy af & bringing a kid into a world doing that seemed crazy.

Yikes. Flagrant antisemitism from the Israeli ambassador to the United States.

I’m convinced Trump could murder a reporter on camera and within 48 hours there’d be a piece about the voters who are sticking with him.

Omg I've missed you, I've missed you, I've missed you!!! 🥰

Trump didn’t just pardon his followers who stormed the U.S. Capitol. He’s now set them up for payments through a slush fund he created to reward his allies—out of your tax dollars. You could not make this up.

I have the Chicken Dance song stuck in my head & its truly a torture. Anyone have suggestions?

He's the leader of the Weld County GOP. Busted in Larimer. I'm sure there's footage out there of him screaming about "Demonrats killing babies". 🙄 #Colorado

Also... this decision gives every "both parties are them same" ignoramus more ammo. Unforgivable. Hope he doesn't have any higher aspirations.

Dammit this INFURIATES me. How can we EVER expect them to take screwing with voting seriously if the consequences are nil? Unforgivable decision by Polis & I've been yelling about it for months. #Polis #Sucks #Colorado

/6 Also: this is an area where we see the legacy of the “fighting words” doctrine, the notion that some words provoke a violent response by their nature. Some of the analysis of what constitutes “provocation” to bar you from using self-defense echoes the “fighting words” analysis.

Just last night i was trying to remember who was that Dem pol I carry an eternal grudge against bc he brought fried chicken to a House hearing... like it was all sorta some big joke. It was like nails on a chalkboard for me. 🫤 Oh, Steve Cohen www.politico.com/live-updates...

A general reminder: you don't *have* to use Substack. While I get that it's easy and convenient, realize there are alternatives that (1) give you more control and (2) don't regularly fund and promote neo-Nazis. Continuing to use Substack for your newsletter is a choice. You can make a different one

The United States government is For Sale. And you don’t even have to be the highest bidder, you just have to kiss the right ass.

My passionflower vine is full of blooms today #flowersonfriday #bloomscrolling #gardensky #kitchengarden I love how exotically beautiful they are while also producing delicious fruit

Thank you so much to everyone who helped save this. And thanks to @erinbiba.bsky.social who boosted my plea so some people responded. Its gonna be 33° again this week 😭 #Garden #Peony #Colorado

Here are the Top 5 Dogs of the week!

"Poor bastard is the captain of the Titanic, and Bari Weiss is an iceberg," one CBS staffer told me.

Trump responding to any question that touches on his knowledge or competence with, "Who are you with?" and then attacking the outlet is a regular enough strategy now the next reporter should be ready to rephrase the same question. If only though.

Its hard to believe but I think Johnson wins the sycophant's trophy over McCarthy. Part of it is the piety with which these ridiculous statements are made.

people were actually expecting this fuckin empty suit and a hairdo to stand up and do the right thing

Good time to speak up about this, at the same time Cornell's President is also facing scrutiny for, you know, hitting a student with his car. Cornell desperately needs new leadership.

A little something for your nightmares.

How do people get rich you ask? Well it helps when they are the ones making the rules. It helps A LOT.

He’s got just incredible business acumen.

If Eugene Levy was a bird.

Eric Trump joining Donald Trump on an official state visit to China is much more corrupt than anything involving Joe and Hunter Biden, yet New York Times coverage indicates the opposite. I show the contrast here, and challenge anyone to explain how it isn’t media bias in Trump’s favor.

If Eugene Levy was a bird.

They mistakenly believe there is a vas deferens between what the Constitution doesn’t authorize and what it expressly prohibits.

I didn't think you could ship/receive #THC products. Is that a recent development?

Quite possibly the worst mashup of reality tv meets far right politics ever.

Black people saw the largest decline in financial stability for nearly every category compared to all other racial and ethnic groups, according to a new Federal Reserve survey.

5/ Which is all a long way of saying that it’s the most predictable thing in the world that he’d shapeshift once again from type Ukraine cryptic to Epstein free speech sexual liberation advocate. There’s a type of dude who just really really likes getting stuffed in the locker.

But meanwhile you can get viagra by snapping your fingers.

My mom suffers from daily migraines. She finally found something that seems to help... and it's $500 a month... for 6 doses... with Medicare. What even is this country?

Wow, libertarians taking the big racist swings this week.

Raising the sweetest kids. Every generation. s/

He is celebrating, in real time, the greatest strategic gifts any American president has ever delivered to a rival, gifts that may prove, in the verdict of the next fifty years, to be the moment the United States surrendered the century.

The yellow irises popped this week too. #Garden #Colorado

This is simply bonkers. The White House is in active discussions with DOJ about settling Trump's lawsuit against the IRS in his favor, *precisely because* a judge might soon throw it out. WH apparently wants DOJ to agree to "settle" the lawsuit *before* that happens. Utter insanity.

Remember when I told you this rose bush had like 100 buds? #Flowers #Roses #Garden

This is going to require states to viciously pursue hate crimes against trans people, but no federal actions, no data collected, it's nearly a federal bounty

no alt-text, so here it is because we need to pay fucking attention to this threat to murder trans people and everyone who supports trans people

Trump’s ballroom fixation is making Marie Antoinette look like a populist.
