Why does she only do this when I’m just about to go to bed?!

Apparently, calling out racism is anti-Christian according to some. Maybe Jesus needs to start smiting some people? www.hatecomestomainstreet.com/p/the-southe...

I mean, John Bolton is a fairly vile human being, but if he’s looking at up to 5 years in prison for classified documents, how many years would the Mango Maniac get for all the stuff he tried to steal?!

Enforce the anti-Klan laws against Roberts Court Republicans.

I’m absolutely with Heather on this one.

Democrats have appealed a ruling that refused to block President Donald Trump’s anti-mail voting executive order as the administration moves to carry it out — a major escalation in one of the most consequential voting rights battles ahead of the 2026 midterms. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Numerous redistricting efforts have taken place across the country ahead of the midterm elections.

Fuck this SCOTUS bullshit. Enraging.

Honest question: why are they so opposed to science?!?

Silicon Valley Is Bracing for a Permanent Underclass www.nytimes.com/2026/04/30/o... & it’s fucking terrifying.

Judges, man. They just don’t brook nonsense. And I am here for it.

Then they're not "swing" voters, they're just Republicans

omg this is insane

Until it is fired, clay is infinitely reusable. This is reclaimed clay. All the scraps from throwing & trimming go into a 5 gallon bucket w/ water & gets mixed. Then it gets spread out ontoo a drying surface (this is Hardie board), dried out a bit, wedged, & reused. I love this stuff.

I just did something that feels amazing. I just blocked the text alerts for the high school. No more 6 am texts about Bus 71 running 20 minutes late, or being replaced by Bus 114. No more reminders about parking. No more, no more, no more. I feel like celebrating!

I’ve been doing a lot of pottery lately. Mostly because I can’t with (flails arms) all this.

Joe Ceballos, the former Republican mayor of Coldwater, Kansas, voted for Trump, believed the “only violent criminals” line, then ended up in ICE detention himself after pleading guilty to voting as a noncitizen. And get this shit: He says he does not regret voting for Trump. 1/2

Word is on the street is that the MAGA Fake-Unsupreme Court of the USA is going to let Trump walk after he raped E Jean Carroll. This is an offense to every woman and the rule of law. "No one is above the law." Unless Trump has dirt on you. www.msn.com/en-us/news/p...

I was just told that “The Constitution” is the only law we have. Um…tell that to all those state governments passing laws, then.

“2 weeks” Everybody drink! 🍹 By “time is not of the essence for us” he means he doesn’t care how many American lives this war costs or how expensive things are for you

It’s not even 8 a.m. and I’m already over today.

Pretty much.

Well, now I get water planes…

Does anyone else get the post- semester crash day where you just sleep all day the day after graduation? Went to bed at 10, woke up at 6 like normal. Went back to bed at 7, woke up at 11. Feel asleep on the couch around 1, woke up at 4:30. I feel SO much better.

Is it just me, or is anyone else thinking…this happened the last time his numbers were in the toilet?

I will be the test case.

ICYMI, people and organizations tied to Hungarian president Viktor Orban’s former regime have been deeply involved with NatCon, the Thiel-backed conference that elevated both JD Vance and Christian Nationalism in the US. I’ve been collecting receipts. 1/

The feel good stat of the day from @bookshop.org... "In 1995, a year after Amazon opened, there were 5,500 stores in the American Bookseller Association. By 2019, there were only 1,887. Today there are over 3,200.” That’s advocacy. Thank you for supporting independent bookstores. You rock!

This! I teach a 4/4 load at regional campus in a system where the flagship has departments with more faculty than we have in total. If people want to know what higher ed is really like, ask folks like me!

Today has been one of those days. I banged my kneecap hard on my car, my cat Squish decided to get on the roof somehow (in a thunderstorm), and then I got stung by a wasp that had was on the deck in the dark, right between my toes. But I threw some nice pots, so there is that, I guess?

Y’all, I’m finally getting the hang of this pottery thing. Not quitting my day job any time soon, though.

This, a thousand times, this.

I made a veggie and dip tray. Pottery is my sanity.

I just feel like we as a society actively resent that getting good at something takes a lot of work and is an active if not relentless pain in the ass most of the time

NEW: Pope Leo XIV just called for the permanent abolition of aerial bombing — a first for any pope. “Airplanes should always be vehicles of peace, never war. No one should have to fear that threats of death and destruction might come from the sky.” This comes as Trump’s Iran War enters week four.

Florida Dems flipped 2 legislative seats today, in districts that had gone for Trump by 7% & 11% in November 2024. Now a key question: GOP is preparing to re-gerrymander FL, & many are expecting a map they'll go for a map that nets them FIVE new seats. Does this spook them from going that far?

Six months into Bari Weiss’ overhaul of CBS News, new ratings data obtained by Status shows its flagship programs are shedding viewers at an alarming rate, collapsing to historic lows and accelerating the network’s decline. Details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/cbs-news-r...

Good dogs. Very good dogs.

Trust dogs. Always. They unerringly know who the awful people are.

My congress cretin is truly awful.

the media is now telling people to work from home to save on gasoline, immediately after their years-long crusade to tell us why returning to office is best for everyone. this isn't a gotcha, it's an example of how contradicting demands allow the ruling class to blame us no matter what we do

13/ Legal experts we talked to were alarmed by the precedent set by Doyley and Bennett’s cases, particularly as Florida considers a bill that could pave the way for more court-ordered medical care. Read our full investigation:

I would absolutely be this grandma.

Cool. Let’s go with that. Now withdraw US forces. Thanks.

“The minors being eliminated include women’s and gender studies, LGBTQ studies, Mexican American studies, Africana studies, Asian studies as well as dance, geology and special education.” Exactly how many international students were enrolling in these programs, if you don’t mind my asking?

MAGA family values! Trump Friend Asked ICE to Detain the Mother of His Child www.nytimes.com/2026/03/20/u...

Oh. My. God. He’s said a lot of stupid things, but this is…unfuckingbelievably bad. www.instagram.com/reel/DWFMxtY...

Okay, it’s official. The timeline is wrong.

Seriously? If they self-identify that way, of course they love him. It’s a cult.
