Marshmallow says "hi." (Adoptable at the MDSPCA in Baltimore)

brass solidarity band performing “stand by me” in the streets of whittier next to alex pretti’s memorial. the crowd started chanting “the people united will never be defeated” so they incorporated it into the song. i love minneapolis

Federal agents kill again; gunmen still at large: defector.com/federal-agen...

This is courage. Looking a masked, government fascist dead in the eye, face to face, knowing full well that your life is on the line. If elected officials had 1/10th of Alex Pretti's resolve, we would have far fewer troubles.

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

Also, happy birthday to Dolly Parton!

This reminds me to PSA that if you go to protest at the White House, the Renwick is right across Pennsylvania Ave, and their current exhibit on state fairs and American craft is a great bit of joy you should also experience. A little bit of the craft on display:

This bill passed unanimously. You need 2/3rds of both houses to override a veto. That’s less than unanimity. That’s how craven these people are.

this is unsustainably bananas and not impeaching and convicting these crooks grows ever more irresponsible and unpatriotic by the hour

The dogs were good today at the MDSPCA. Come meet Gabby and Ghost if you're in Baltimore and in the market for a best buddy.

A must-read message from Colin and Sophie Hortman, Mark and Melissa's children:

impeach him. try to do it once a month, if necessary. build the case over and over to not just the American people but to the world that this isn’t the way things should be here, that this isn’t the way we should use our power abroad.

Ever relevant, this poem by Mary Oliver, especially today.

fwiw it’s been about six weeks since Trump pardoned the former president of Honduras who had been convicted of trafficking drugs into the US

Mad at me about the weather. Gorton’s angriest little fisherman.

the racism coming from the entire conservative movement targeting the somali community is so goddam disgusting and its just being completely ignored

☕️📖 Nothing like spending a cozy morning curled up under a blanket with a cup of tea and a book on my lap to keep me company while I endlessly scroll my phone

No offense, but I shouldn't have to tell you how to do your job. Watch #NightThoughts on Hulu

they don’t tell you when you buy a christmas tree at the christmas tree farm that you could take it home, decorate it, and then be relaxing in your living room seven nights later when A BAT suddenly flies out and starts CRASHING AROUND YOUR HOUSE

Quote with your favorite pic of you from 2025

Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah. Praying for his full & speedy recovery. And so deeply inspired by his example.

A neat thing about birthright citizenship is how it tests whether a person cares at all about the Constitution. There's no argument against it, birthright citizenship is the unambitious text, the obvious intent of the drafters, and the undisputed way it was followed for the past 150+ years.

Oh local Baltimore news, thanks for this important hypothetical snowstorm update

Was not expecting this blatant xenophobia on my tv first thing in the morning...

If you wanna up your discourse game about why you keep reading the trainwreck "no ethics in political journalism" blogs, might I suggest reading @mckinneykelsey.bsky.social's release from earlier this year?

Today's delight: www.thisiscolossal.com/2025/10/mode...

2 truths and a lie? What say you @darthbluesky.bsky.social?

Are you located in the DC-Baltimore-Philadelphia-New York corridor? Have you always wanted to have your very own 11 foot long papier-mâché hammerhead shark? Now available for free! Perfect for museums, community centers, or your living room! Save this lovely creature from imminent destruction!

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

@vanhollen.senate.gov @alsobrooks.senate.gov It's not enough to vote "no" on a concession-less deal to reopen the government. Yell at your caucus!

We're raising money for CASA, an organization focused on immigrant rights! For extra enticing we've got some incentives on moonshotpods.com/donate. A $5 donation enters you in a chance to win the Moonshot Bundle, the Maryland Bundle, or the Ghost Bundle!

Out front with a bucket full of candy and a bag of glowsticks for the trick or treaters plus a beer and a horror novel for me. And later, world series. Perfect Friday night, no notes!

Train ride to visit family this morning. Beautiful scenery and a guy across the aisle brought a whole 1.5 qt moose tracks ice cream as a snack. Great trip!

Wiggles FKA Buster has a gofundme so we can continue to keep him alive! No pressure though! (I’m looking at You with a Frightening Intensity ) gofund.me/d1a171a3c

My suggestion is to waste a lot more time on shit that keeps you at peace and stop efficiently doing much of anything

The girlfriend of TWO of the founders of antifa!

What's your most millenial party decoration?

Volunteered at a MDSPCA adoption event, and this cutie got himself a new family! Day well spent, even if it's a 3 bus trip out to the event.

Thanks @riotgrlerin.bsky.social for spookifying Cyrus for the season!

Yes, Virginia, he is an attempted dictator...

Watching GBBO's "back to school" episode and baffled by all the bakes. Flapjacks are granola bars, not pancakes? Why are we serving pourable custard with frosted sponge cake? Is a school fete literally any school event? Thank you lovely Ukrainian Nataliia for expressing my feelings.

Consumerism is a problem not a solution, but my new cozy sweatshirts are going to fix me this winter.
