Wonderful bird photos from BBC Wildlife to close this day.

I wish we lived in a land where if journalists heard the president call one of their colleges "piggy" or suggest another of their colleagues, who was butchered for what he wrote, in some way had it coming, they would close their laptops, leave as soon as possible, and ask to be reassigned.

Feeling it. Let’s do it.

As a Border Collie Mom, can vouch.

"Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob." —FDR, 1936

I want a government that doesn’t sound like a deeply damaged, bratty boy when it communicates with citizens exercising their First Amendment rights.

WeRateDogs turns 10 years old today! A very silly idea to numerically objectify dogs has become one of the kindest and most powerful online communities ever. Thank you for joining us over the last decade. I never knew what this could be until you all showed me. Here's to many more good dogs ❤️

I'm not a lawyer but neither is the head of the Justice Dept

FACT CHECK: TRUE

Gosh, why and how could that be? Such an enigma!

They’re all just looting the treasury now

📍Senator Fetterman had a VFIB—the leading cause of cardiac arrest—he almost died if not for his implanted defibrillator, which can cost $34,000 to over $51,000. Days ago, he also just voted with GOP to gut health insurance tax credits for millions. Hope he has a change of heart.

The Historical Situation Room. JFK-created in 1961 to handle “The Cuban Missile Crisis’. Obama-used in the operation of getting Osama Bin Ladin in 2011. Trump- How can we keep my involvement in Epstein’s sex trafficking files hidden 2025.

Just a reminder, the coward who refused to accept an election loss in 2020 and then committed crimes trying to overthrow that election will certainly cheat, abuse his powers, and break the law to try to win the 2026 & 2028 elections. He’s a real threat to democracy. Believe it.

Deeply not woke.

When will they stop believing him?

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Dammit. The Sarah McLachlan music got me right in the feels 😭

Perfect by @dccartoonist.bsky.social

Well done freeing this little guy

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

@dieworkwear.bsky.social Any pointers for this young man, or has he nailed the look?

Unfortunately still true bsky.app/profile/adam...

No health care, no deal.

milk coma strikes again. This guy is a hoot already and he’s barely a week old

omg

Seriously, this account should have thousands of followers. She fosters pregnant or rescued with young puppies dogs and raises the pups until they’re old enough to be adopted and mum gets adopted too. People are leaving BS because it’s mostly heavy political content. Support accounts like this.

Mayor Mamdani—Let’s rename 57th Street as “Barack Obama Blvd”

Democrats asked for ONE THING today to reopen the govt: Keep health insurance subsidies where they are at now for one year. That is IT. Nothing else. Republicans said no. So all the lies they tell every day about things Dems are asking for is BS. Republicans OWN this shutdown.

I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

Why are ICE agents being paid during the shutdown, but not air traffic controllers? 🤨

Most potential pet owners consider things like breeding, size, coat, intelligence, trainability, and temperament. Often overlooked is the crucially important element of aerodynamics, which can greatly affect your gas mileage, raising the overall cost of ownership significantly.
