The Tibetan people choose their leaders based on personal qualities such as honesty, reliability, ethics, responsibility, respect, transparency, and courage; in short, they are chosen for their integrity. All peoples in the world would benefit from doing the same.

BOSTON YESTERDAY!!!!!!

An amazing read.

team happy pollinators

Today we honor the service and sacrifice of Vietnam Veterans. Your service shaped this country, often at a cost few can truly understand. We remember those we lost and honor all who served with the respect they’ve always deserved.

Omg, this sign!

To whoever did this at the #NoKings in Boston: Thank you.❤️ It made me tear up. And we must to be reminded of needless damage to humanity that results directly from the careless, bellicose bluster coming from the Pentagon and White House.

It's the economy stupid. Y'all woke yet?

WOW. Amazon planning one of their largest data center projects in the world in NE Oregon. At full scale would use as much power as the entire Portland metro area. Pacific Power says it can somehow supply it with existing transmission lines? www.oregonlive.com/silicon-fore...

Well I'm glad all the fleeing Republican congress people will be held in tsa lines all night as they flee their responsibilities and head home for a vacation they have not earned.

russia tried to erase us overnight. But here I am. Lying with my cat. Drinking coffee. Feeling that life, somehow, still exists. Because we’re still here.

I hate how stupid everything is.

So if the Supreme Court says you can’t count mail in ballots that were mailed before the deadline, what’s to stop them saying kick people in line out of line once the polls close Literally the same thing

Thune has the votes to override a veto if he needed to so that TSA, etc., could be funded. The GOP too cowardly to do it.

Bernie Sanders has pulled one out for the books. He has suggested a reading of the Epstein files as a filibuster to the Save Act.

Happy International Puppy Day!

everyone thinks they have the best dog, and everyone is right

Two pilots dead at LaGuardia. A lone controller managing two simultaneous emergencies. The FAA is 3,000 controllers short. We will blame the human. We should fix the system. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Edward Norton recited Whitman's "Crossing Brooklyn Ferry" last night -- starts at 18mins in and I cannot urge you to watch it in full enough. youtu.be/kSEMaPOOrU8?...

One of two tables done. Built from Walnut from a neighbor's tree his grandparents planted. The tables will go to him and his brother #woodworking

One more relevant note on this as the heat event across the Western US continues: A major impetus for our work to help the Northwest prepare for the next extreme heat wave is that an event like the 2021 PNW heat dome is estimated to occur *every 5 to 10 years* with 2°C of global warming.

I'll say it again: we could fully fund TSA, FEMA, the Coast Guard & other agencies within DHS TODAY. But Republicans keep blocking those efforts because they want a blank check for ICE & CBP.

Americans dying overseas is good when Republicans are in charge and bad when Democrats are in charge. This has always been the case. But please tell me again how the media has a liberal bias.

the same number of troops have died in this war that died in the evacuation of afghanistan fyi, weird how the media has decided that isn’t a point to drive home this time

Why the fuck is the Pentagon asking for $200 billion for a war they said we already won?

THREAD: Cherise Doyley was in her 12th hour of contractions at the hospital when a tablet was brought to her bedside. On the screen was a Zoom call with a judge and several lawyers and doctors. She was in court, a nurse told her. The reason? For failing to agree to a C-section.

That don't matter to the base, and one of these goofs is going to get in the runoff, and possibly get a chance, because our side wants to run like 20 candidates to split the democratic vote, insuring no 50%

We all need to hear a positive story. youtube.com/watch?v=rD_C...

Putin must not have included this in his briefing...

Why is this only happening now? It should have been done decades ago. They won't pass it, they'll never give up the money they make while in office.

De Niro has it right. The American people can agree on some things after all.

Let me be clear: claims of widespread noncitizen voting are false. Incidents of noncitizens actually voting are so rare that when Utah conducted a full investigation, it found none. Zero. @democracydocket.com
