@telliotter.bsky.social I just made it to my gate at IAD for my flight to SFO. I used TSA-pre/Clear Line and I did not see any ICE officers or notice anything out of the ordinary.

The carefully managed water systems in California's Central Valley saw a sudden deluge after the Army Corps of Engineers unexpectedly released reservoir water. “In 25 years, I’ve never seen anything like this. I was given no explanation at all.”

Good news, Republicans— those jobs you wanted are available.

This is how you say “go fuck yourself sideways with a porcupine” in inspector general speak. Going to be interesting to see how the administration responds

The thing about all of these names is that people at the top of social hierarchies love receiving philosophical justifications for their “success.” The more fanciful and ridiculous and nakedly flattering these theories are, the better for the niggling thought that they were more lucky than skilled.

Good

With everything so seemingly terrible these days & no sign of anything remotely hopeful in the near future, I thought you might need this photo of a baby giraffe.

Trump's treasury nominee Scott Bessent, who is worth ~$500 million, warned of "economic calamity" if Trump's tax cuts for the rich are not extended. But when asked if we should raise the federal minimum wage above the current paltry $7.25/hr, he said no. Economic populism.

"According to findings announced by the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine and published in The Lancet journal, there were an estimated 64,260 'traumatic injury deaths' in #Gaza between October 7, 2023 and June 30, 2024." edition.cnn.com/2025/01/09/m...

Almost 800 incarcerated people are earning between $5.80-$10.24 per day plus $1 an hour to fight the California wildfires as firefighters. Just because they are incarcerated, doesn't mean they deserve to be exploited. They should be paid a fair wage.

George W ignores Trump and probably tells Obama thanks for taking one for the team by sitting next to him 🤣

This whole discourse is stupid (not to mention dangerous), but how exactly do these conservatives think a country full of people accustomed to universal healthcare would vote as the 51st state?

Ann Telnaes, who has worked at The Washington Post as an editorial cartoonist since 2008, says her cartoon criticizing billions currying favor with Trump was spiked — and now she has quit the paper

This is, or should be, a big deal -- Ann Telnaes, an absolute legend, quitting WaPo due to censorship of a cartoon criticizing billionaires anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-qui...

Around 20,000 people are deliberately killed by other people in the United States every year. No one asks, “how can people coexist with other people?” One person is killed by a mountain lion in 20 years, and people ask “how can humans and big cats coexist?” www.nytimes.com/2024/12/31/m...

Trump’s team claimed that their tax cuts would boost household income by $4,000. But research shows that the lowest paid workers saw no change in earnings. Meanwhile, exec salaries increased sharply. Trump and Republicans want to double down on yet another trickle-down scam.

Why would Trump want to eliminate the debt ceiling during his entire presidency when he promised to cut the total budget by 33% and balance the budget?
