Argentina got $20 billion this week. the Argentinian public healthcare system is free for residents and tourists, funded through taxes. America First, though, amirite??

cry havoc and let slip the frogs of war

Sam Alito says non-delivery of mail is too trivial an issue for people to be allowed to sue USPS, but what happens when it's our ballots that are not being delivered? www.rawstory.com/supreme-cour...

They’re still offering new ICE recruits a $50,000 signing bonus, yet active duty military were seen today lining up at food banks. Defend your country and you can’t afford to eat. Terrorize your country and you become rich.

She looks concerned.

EL PASO — a family says ICE showed up at their house looking for migrants and shot and KILLED THEIR DOG, then didn’t help them as the agent ran away and was not identified. kfoxtv.com/news/local/e...

Hello Ohia! Yes, it’s so nice to see ya Fluffy flowered friend #Hawaii #Ohia #haiku

And there we have it.

Your dreams are seedlings I tend with soft hands and care. Grow with me, and thrive. #dailyhaikuprompt #seedlings #micropoem #micropoetry #3lines #poem #poetry #haiku #senryu

This is interesting. During the Black Lives Matter protests, similar fake 911 calls went out claiming officers were down, with lots of drama on the local scanner app. Turned out it was all fake, but the scanner scardy cats were up in arms. Police chief had to go on facebook and explain it was fake.

I love it when people bring their talents to the party. This is cool!

TSA showed up Air Traffic Controllers, too Thank you for your work. #haiku #SFO

On this Harvest Moon… "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

There is no acceptable excuse for zip-tying children! None. This shouldn’t even have to be said.

Reminder that @governor.ca.gov is reportedly considering vetoing SB79, the best housing bill to clear the CA legislature in decades. It would be a *disaster*, substantively & for Newsom's political future. Really hope he doesn't self-immolate. Tell him!

Taking bets on how long it will take for State TV to start showing “The Black Swan” on repeat.

Chicago: Official statements from Broadview Police Chief Thomas Mills and Mayor Katrina Thompson accuse ICE of false 911 calls, citing clear police logs as evidence. They've launched three criminal probes into related ICE actions, including hit-and-runs and property damage.

They are escalating everything because they know the work must be done with haste. Trump is failing faster than they can lock up their “progress” and steal elections going forward. This is a TELL. They are desperate to control the vote.

Hunter Thompson, October 26, 1972. "...what a fantastic monument to all the best instincts of the human race this country might have been, if we could have kept it out of the hands of greedy little hustlers like Richard Nixon." Even more true today.

The wormtongues are in charge.

If you’re apprehensive that what you say or do now could come to haunt you in a more authoritarian environment in the future then this is your absolute cue that you absolutely must say or do something now.

Time for all Dems to march, meet, and speak to constituents. We need to see for ourselves the commitment of our electeds.

JD VANCE: "My mother got the drugs that almost killed her from Mexicans." REALITY: JD's mother got the drugs that almost killed her from her hospital patients, whom she stole from.

We have, for many years, been groomed by a pedocracy to normalize what men like 🍊 represents and promotes. Our culture is centered around creating a circle of enablers around charismatic narcissist abusers.

Lightbulb moment, not a pretty one. Many WW think it’s *your* job to keep them safe, especially when they’re under threat. This is why we WW can’t be trusted to advocate, even for our own rights. Ladies, ladies, ladies… THEY HATE YOU TOO!

Y’all, get ready for the freelancers who couldn’t even get hired by ICE. They now feel empowered to do violence in the name of saving agent 🍊. They’ll canvas neighborhoods, walk around cities talking to service people who will later be targeted, flat out kidnap people, and worse. Be safe.

And it was all fun & games until Usha brought out the mashed potatoes.

You, a blue state voter, have just realized you live in a donor state. What is your next step? Rail at your governor to “stop paying taxes” or you won’t vote for a democrat again? Dude, YOU are the only one who can refuse to pay taxes. Why are people so misinformed?

If you feel you need to handcuff a toddler for your safety, you are much less mature than that toddler.

They took 4 Black children from their US citizen parents. Chicago PD needs to make kidnapping arrests. Now.

I ❤️ you, Maryland.

“They asked for a sword, and we said, ‘Well, we do have swords, but we can’t give them away because they’re museum artifacts,’” said Todd Arrington, forced to resign as head of Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library.”

House Oversight Ranking Member Robert Garcia has sent a letter to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick — after Lutnick called Jeffrey Epstein the 'greatest blackmailer ever' — urging him to testify before the panel about his knowledge of Epstein and his crimes.

The rush to traffic as many kids as they can…

I can’t begin to tell you how damaging “the world isn’t fair, get used to it” line has been to every child’s psyche growing up and therefore has led to a world that stays unfair. If we teach children to get used to an unfair world, we are destroying the possibility of a better world.

The move here is to capture taxpayer funds, and use them to buy votes. Just right out in the open.

Told you we should have shut him down on this crap in the first administration. He held up covid relief checks so his name would be featured as the signature. Also food distribution carried his “message”. But we just kept feeding the monster. Thanks for *again* exposing his corruption Mr. Raskin.

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

You know that guy who rammed his truck w American flags into an LDS church and murdered 4 people before setting the place on fire? I can’t find a single story about his politics Help me out here if I’m missing something

Black women Only daughters Oldest daughters Remember that you’re only one person. You can’t do it all. You’re not failing because you didn’t get it all done. Survival is not the bar. Living is. Love y’all.

For all the media repeating that ACA COVID subsidies “cost” ~$30B, the U.S. just pledged $20B to Argentina to stabilize an autocrat’s government and protect a GOP megadonor who loaded up on Argentine debt. No one’s blinking at that. Let’s keep things in perspective.

The conversation between Klein and Coates showed me that a lot of people who screech about “infighting” on the left aren’t aware of the fact that marginalized people have been forced to learn how to regulate their emotions during conflict, and so, are better able to hear what’s actually being said.

Still wearing my Grazer shirt. She should get extra credit for the cubs.

Today on Volts: the folks at @rewiringamerica.bsky.social have an idea. Hyperscalers desperately need to free up grid capacity for data centers, right? Why not let them buy that capacity by paying for residential heat pumps & solar/storage systems? I discuss it w/ the head of RW & a rep from PG&E.

Sarah Kendzior, @sarahkendzior.bsky.social is on top form. Biting satire, and with the flying carp, the biting is not just metaphorical

When a building is on fire, you can smell the smoke, you’re warning the others, and they’re like “what fire? You should stop worrying,” it sucks. Being a Cassandra sucks. Then when they panic and you remind them of the warnings…

Yeah, today I decided not to discuss the current sitch with those who are now shocked, but dismissed me? Go talk to the rest of your unsurprised kin, get them up to speed and talk to them. Elevate yourself. I’ve spent the last ten years doing the same for u. Report back in 2026, we can talk then.

So this is the one who will step in as soon as the 🍊 has outlived his usefulness. This bold-faced lie presages his future manipulations. He is salivating for genocide.

Val and I checked repeatedly because we simply couldn't believe no national or local news organizations covered this letter from 18 AGs in support of trans youth care and against FTC overreach. If you find any stories, let us know, but it seems to be our exclusive.

My brothas—get yourself a Starbucks cup! #blacksky
