There's a giant "ICE Out of Long Beach" banner being flown on the top floor of Long Beach City Hall today. It's attached to the balcony just outside the mayor's office. We've asked the mayor's staff and a city spokesperson about it and will let you know what we learn.

Our clients are Harvard Medical School doctors whose work was scrubbed for containing the words "LGBTQ" and "transgender." Our settlement means their critical research on suicide risk and endometriosis cannot be removed again.

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide. This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

1. DHS surges 3,000 officers to Minneapolis without doing anywhere near enough prep first. 2. Hundreds of habeas cases overwhelm local courts. 3. Dozens of DOJ lawyers quit in disgust/anger. 4. The DOJ brings in JAGs to cover. 5. A JAG was just held in contempt and fined $500/day for ICE's failures.

My deepest secret is that I don't know my dogs' right from left when talking to the vet (is it my right while facing them? My right while facing the direction they're facing?) so instead I catalogue everything as their driver or passenger side. Which paw is sore? Front passenger. Rear driver. Etc

Between Letterkenny and Heated Rivalry, I'm in love with the musical tastes of Jacob Tierney and whoever he works with to choose music

Good morning

It's more healthy to call it Deconstructed Trail Mix when eating M&Ms #health #protip #outdoorsish #bitcheswhohike

My toxic trait is that every time I see an empty storefront, I go "Man that'd make a great bookstore!" And start fantasizing about the layout

Did Heated Rivalry make you like Hockey but didn't do enough emotional damage to haunt you forever? Great news, Beartown exists (not that kind of bears, sorry) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beartow...

Important content.

There are two wolves inside of you. They've been watching heated rivalry. It has awakened feelings in both wolves that they've tried to deny. They have a couple drinks one night. Try to laugh it off, spill a beer. Their faces get close as they both reach for a napkin. Their eyes lock. They lean in.

You know your anxiety is killing it when your fitness watch is complimenting your workout

Six months since publication day! The response to WHATEVER KILLS THE PAIN has been amazing so far. Thanks so much to all who picked it up, gave it a rating, review, shoutout, or a spot on your best of list—it all helps!!

Is LinkedIn just where all the LiveJournal kids wound up?

I know I'm not party because at least once a day I find myself singing to the dogs "Treats! Treats! Treats!" to the cadence of LMFAO's Shots

Advance praise for the debut collection by @marythor.bsky.social. Out March 15th from RHP Press. #literaryfiction #crimefiction #darkfiction

I think my finest quality is that men think I'm mean.

Well, it’s the 9th anniversary of this today. No special reason for mentioning it now, obviously

I donate platelets about every two weeks, and they take plasma when they can, too. It's the best TV time I get as a single parent, and it ends with cookies. My small sacrifice to slate the thirst of the old gods. Plus cookies.

Put a finger down if every time you have enchiladas you start singing Desperado but replace the word "desperado" with "enchiladas"

@dansavage.bsky.social omg listening to episode 1000 and I *didn't* poke my belly button because I have the same problem as the caller. It's such an aggravating feeling that nobody is allowed to touch it, hard limit 😂

ICE totaled this car, abducted a woman, and then left it in the middle of Snelling Avenue, one of the busiest streets in the Twin Cities. This isn’t law and order, this state sanctioned terrorism. It’s fucking disgusting.

Shout-out to the 44% increase in my kid's insurance premiums this year.

I think the real question is, did you consent to having your Dragula slammed into?

It's RELEASE DAY! Vol 3 has some absolutely phenomenal stories that dive deep into the dark, the unknown, and the truly terrifying. Be sure to pick up your copy and check out the work of these authors! #dwantho #darkwaterspodcast #shortstories #anthology #newrelease

How about a violent, sweary necromancer with anger management issues making really horrible life choices many of which involve murdering his problem away? The Eric Carter series www.penguinrandomhouse.com/series/EC2/e...

I require more enrichment in my environment.

"I didn't get you anything for your birthday, except for that interpretive dance."-overheard from my new favorite all-girl paintball friend group

Sitting in the pro shop while Trex and a friend play airsoft and just noticed that Covid 19 was Employee of the Month here for March and April of 2020 😂

"There's white stuff falling on your car." -my sweet, California-raised child

We could be meaner to men.

Also wtf is "freezing fog" it sounds like a magic the gathering card or a dnd monster

I can't stop thinking about the lady who said my siblings and I are really stuck up when, in reality, we all have devastating levels of social anxiety And I think it's on my mind so much because of the forgiveness it built into my own mind about people who might seem standoffish

Man, this is how you start off a story, @jamesdfhannah.bsky.social

The White House says attacks on ICE are up 1000% Court records in cities where federal law enforcement has been busiest tell a more complex story -- there are few serious injuries, and many allegations don't hold up in court. Latest w/ @brittnymejia.bsky.social www.latimes.com/california/s...

How many milkshake lessons would I need to pay for before my yard was full of boys

Spent a long time thinking the accounting software was broken before realizing it was gently reminding me there is no 31st of November Anyway happy Monday, babies. We're almost there.

MY GOD PEOPLE BREAK OUT THE ALARM EMOJIS 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 When One Man Dies, the very first Jackson Donne novel, is just fifty cents for your e-reader. #BlackFriday #BlackFriyay openroadmedia.com/ebook/when-o...

They think they're helping.

Always a good start to the day when your kindle throws a low battery warning but then manages to stay on through the hot threesome you're reading

I remembered this wrong as "Saving Caligula" and was thankful I'd encountered such a dope free-range band name #thanksgiving #blessed

As a cost-savings measure, this thanksgiving I donated platelets at 7AM so at 7PM the alcohol is going to hit much harder and I'll need less to get drunk #protip

On this last work day before Thanksgiving, I like to remember what my grandmother always told me on these holidays: "I'm so hungry, man, I could eat the rich."

I've been thinking all day about how my teenage diet of Jackass might be to blame for my attraction to funny men who possess roughly no self preservation Save me, Chris Pontius, you're my only hope

I fear she may be on to something...

What are all those dudes who got "tribal" sleeves in the early 2000s up to these days

Just got my COVID shot, to go with my already acquired Flu and Pneumonia shots, not to mention I'm up to date on tetanus, so not to brag but GUESS WHO'S READY TO KISS SOME BATS AND LICK SOME HANDRAILS?!!!

We would be together and have our books and at night be warm in bed together with the windows open and the stars bright. - Hemingway
