I still can't believe they're trying to make a war happen out of thin air. Not just their abrogation of Congress's role in formally declaring a war -- that's been a slippery slope for decades -- but their total unwillingness even to go through the motions of drumming up public support.

The lure of ChatGPT ys conversaciouns wythout any actual dialogue or accountabilitye. A mirrour that doth flatter by offeringe no reflectioun whatsoevir. A google searche that doth kysse up to you.

I’ve previously called out the Small Business Administration for flying the Appeal to Heaven flag–a symbol of white Christian nationalism favored by January 6 insurrectionists. Now, a high-ranking Department of Education official has it outside his office. Unacceptable. Take it down.

Gotta say it's mindblowing to me that the Brown shooter is still at large and they don't even seem to have identified who they're looking for.

America, you've spoken loud and clear: you do not like being stabbed in the dick with an ice pick. But what if stabbing yourself in the dick with an ice pick is the only way to fight, idk, climate change or whatever?

Wouldn't it have been better for the Republicans to have had a contested convention in 2016? Even if it had resulted in the same outcome.

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing. All from his movies.

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama. Us: Across your entire career? Reiner: In a 6 year period. Us: That sounds- Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

Or get their kids vaccinated

This is the worst thing about the update.

We need permitting reform now!

Brutal but effective public health messaging from New York Public Health. The CDC is compromised. They’re no longer a reliable source of information. They push anti-vaxx & anti-science grift. Get your vaccines. Wear a respirator. Clean the air Get public health advice from experts, not RFK Jr

Just a reminder that ICE didn't exist until 2002. It's not some longstanding institution that must be maintained. It was created as a knee-jerk reaction to 9/11, and it could be gotten rid of as easily as it was created.

Two things the bluesky algorithm thinks I really want to see: 1.) photos of slime molds (YES PLEASE). 2.) gym selfie thirst traps (meh)

Dick Van Dyke's 100th birthday is tomorrow. Universe, leave him alone!

Representing oligarchs as working class heroes is a new low…even for us.

This presidential “pardon,” as it’s for a state crime, is the equivalent of digital toilet paper, only flimsier and serving a less useful purpose.

So it turns out an ice agent is much more likely to have an arrest record than an immigrant.

I don't want or need a smart washing machine or fridge. I've managed to live this long without needing an app to work an appliance.

Noting this for later

The EPA has removed references about humans causing climate change from its website. No US government website can be trusted for science information.

A pet peeve: when people want me to meet them or pick them up at a building, and they say to go to “the front.” It is NOT obvious what part of a building is the front, back, or sides.

America is the only country actively trying to kill its citizens while also asking them to feed as many words and images of themselves into a program before death so their avatars can be owned forever in a data center poisoning what was once their people's land.

This is a time in our nation's history that will be remembered for all the broken fools who needed so much attention.

Swing and a miss.

There is nothing less rock and roll than kissing a despot's ass.

don't worry, john roberts says this is a legitimate exercise of presidential power and if we did anything to curb it, we would be robbing the executive of the energy he needs to do his job

My cousin!

Dr. Bill Cassidy’s legacy as a hepatologist, will be that he brought about more liver disease. Put that in his obit.

Every legal story now is either Ancient Circuit Judge Delivers Crystal Clear 100 Page Rebuke To Trumpist Overreach or In Unsigned Shadow Docket Decision, 6-3 Majority Declares Trump Can Hunt People For Sport

I subscribe to On this Day from the Equal Justice Initiative. I didn't know this, but there was a time when women with US citizenship could have it rescinded if they married an immigrant. Men could marry women who were immigrants and not lose their citizenship. 1/2 calendar.eji.org/racial-injus...

There are two options for Nuzzi now. Bari Weiss' open arms or a podcast. And I swear to God, if it's the latter I do not want to see clips here. Not even to dunk on. Wait. Three options. Real Housewives villain.

I just asked, "these vaccines are just as safe as the ones we got, right?" The pediatrician said, "even safer." Then we proceeded on the standard schedule.

Absolutely. What happens when they finally stop a school bus?

An after school snack for my son, who’s a senior. He said he was “fighting the urge to eat it all right now” as I took the picture

as a grantwriter, the lack of unrestricted funding is a MASSIVE burden on nonprofits. everyone wants to fund a new shiny pilot program that makes them look like innovators. they don’t want to help make your tried and tested programs that have served the community for 50 years more sustainable

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

can only imagine what this feels like for a Somali-American teen or grade schooler.

Since I haven’t seen anyone mention this: When the U.S. commits war crimes it puts our troops in danger also, as it gives a green light to other countries that they can do the same to us

I am so doing this

Australia just recorded zero cervical cancer cases in women under 25 for the first time since records began in 1982. The amazing result of HPV vaccination.

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

Whether this was random street crime or targeted political violence, I think it was bad for the president to unnecessarily put the National Guard in harm’s way like this. They simply don’t need to be there.

when its definitely not a hostage situation
