Slightly diminish a book Animal Garden

you don't need a study to know this is bad for kids. that's why school admins have zero excuses for signing these deals

Name your top 15 TV shows, gut instinct only The Wire The Good Place Boston Legal Babylon 5 The X-Files The Twilight Zone Cheers St. Elsewhere Star Trek (TOS) Picket Fences Good Omens (does that count?) Miami Vice (ignore the last season) Northern Exposure Sesame Street

Jim Crow was in my dad's lifetime. Mass incarceration and the drug war continue in mine. The Interstate highway system and urban renewal destroyed -- and continues to destroy -- billions in heritable black wealth. And that's just the most prominent, state-endorsed, institutionalized stuff.

U.S. GAS PRICES REACH AVERAGE $4.30/GAL, HIGHEST SINCE JULY, 2022, ACCORDING TO LIVE GASBUDDY DATA

Anyone have recommendations for a terminal app for an iPad (mini, if it matters)?

Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. hard mode: no star wars, star trek, lotr, dc, marvel, disney, pixar, dreamworks, spielberg, cameron, wachowskis, or ghibli.

I think people are seeing how readily the right is capitalizing on what happened and assuming then they must've played a role in making it happen. There's just no need for conspiracy theories here just because the crazies on the other side are running wild in the aftermath.

Those of us in the pro-democracy movement can and should hold both of these positions. 1. We unequivocally reject violence. 2. We will unequivocally oppose efforts by this administration to use last night as an excuse to try to suppress criticism and criminalize dissent.

If Reagan hadn't cancelled the fairness doctrine, there would have to be an equal number of assassination attempts on Dem presidents, but nobody talks about THAT

Trump: I'm going to destroy an entire civilization. We're going to keep killing people in boats. Senator Kelly should be executed. ICE protesters are domestic terrorists. Immigrants are vermin. Raskin: Donald Trump is bad for this country. Bash: Do you regret your heated rhetoric, Rep. Raskin?

Was curious, so looked up how the #redsox are doing in various counts compared to the league, and here it is: 1/

Ooh, tough call. 1974 #AT40 or the 9-16 #redsox.

So much false equivalence in media on gerrymandering in Texas vs California & Virginia. California and Virginia maps approved by the voters. That's a huge difference not enough people pointing out

It's notable that Sen. Ossoff is pressing this attack in a tight re-election fight in a purple state. The rest of the party needs to pay attention.

Regarding the rise of Polymarket and amount speculation and insider trading on public policy: Never doubt that in any contest between democracy and capitalism, democracy will be kicked to the curb and spit on.

I really hate the fact that I can write a sentence like "The President is suing himself for ten billion dollars and is close to reaching a settlement with himself to award himself an undisclosed sum at the taxpayers' expense." and not only is it not just barking mad, but it's more or less true.

The most reliable way I’ve found to get blocked on here is to tell people simple facts about the First Amendment and the Fairness Doctrine.

Hegseth’s American crusades are gonna take a weird turn.

Paging @pbump.com - this is a great data visualization. Also, what the hell is going on in Connecticut?

THE LOOP Scarecrow: Apr 13 ✅ 🟢🟢🟢🟢⚪️ www.britannica.com/games/loop

I'm gonna get this out of my system so I don't go insane: What Trump said about the pope is easily the most genuinely anti-Catholic thing any American politician has ever said in my entire lifetime, and if Obama or Biden had said it, there would literally be calls to disband the Democratic Party.

This may be a fundamentally new kind of sin blending blasphemy, idolatry, divination, and simony, among others. Those who are not horrified at this may be entirely lacking in authentic religious awareness and feeling.

OK, if this wasn't the GOAT Dirty Thirty, I really want to know what was. #AT40

Whatever the "over" is for "how many times does the guest host mention his name", take it. #AT40

#AT40 I was expecting to be listening in as I was out doing yard work, but at noon here in upstate NY the temperature was 50 with a "feels like" of 37, so I'm hanging out for at least a while. #AT40

This is a pretty amazing Dirty Thirty, which fills me with trepidation about what's lurking above. #AT40

As #AT40 "special reports" go, that one was certainly one of them.

Who, exactly, decided that this guy who sounds like he shoud be doing voiceovers for a Godzilla movie should be subbing for Casey? *Totally* different vibe. #AT40

The President declared our country had genocidal intent, and the argument his own supporters are making in defense of it is that the genocidal threat was merely a bargaining tactic to achieve a ceasefire deal worse than the status quo before the war he started. No part of that is acceptable.

If Trump does give an order to attack civilian targets that have no military value as a means of collectively punishing the Iranian people - and make good his threat to begin a genocide - Marco Rubio should resign and the military must refuse the order. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

And if it comes and goes and nothing happens, and the apologists say “it was just a threat to get them to buckle, he never meant he’d actually do it,” it is morally correct to punch them in the face.

I’ve spent almost 30 years teaching and writing and speaking to people both in and outside the military, in the U.S. and abroad, about why we need LINES WE WILL NOT CROSS even in war. Now my country is crossing those lines over and over again with unfathomable arrogance and disrespect for human life

The Times Union editorial board: The president’s handling of the Iran war has alarming similarities to his poor performance during the COVID-19 pandemic. Congress must intervene. www.timesunion.com/opinion/arti...

pretty clear bright line today, anyone in power who isn't doing everything they can to remove him from office deserves handcuffs when this is all over. that includes any democrat who votes for anything he wants

Congress is in recess until April 14th, so yeah Democrats saying various statements is all they can do because that’s how being in the minority works. Read the pinned thread on why the 25th amendment isn’t magically happening & find a bit of a spine for yourself if you’re gonna flail around all day.

So, you’re here constantly complaining about Democrats for some reason with “25th Amendment now!”…Or yelling at Democrats because the 25th Amendment hasn’t been enacted against Trump. You should shut up or be pressuring Republicans. You should be working to elect more Democrats. Here’s the why.

Somewhere in his tiny pea brain he thinks this is like the Cuban Missile Crisis and that everyone's going to pat him on the back when it's over.

Obviously not a substitute for Congress doing its job, but now would be a good time for Clinton, W, Obama, and Biden to say something jointly.

Social media platforms love to turn their backs on trans users and categorize their very existence as sexual content that kids need to be protected from. This is of course nonsense. You shouldn't stay kind to trans people because it will help you get to 1 billion users. You should do it to be good.

The President of the U.S. The man with the nuclear codes. And people are just going to pretend this is ok. In a functioning society, he would be removed from office within hours by his own party.

Man, ‘77 countdowns are like driving down the highway on a great, sunny day with the top down and every few minutes you drive past a horrendous wreck. #AT40

I love it when Casey gives these fact items like a final jeopardy answer.#AT40

Seems to me if you think you have divine sanction for your warmongering when it goes badly you have to consider the opposite proposition but they never seem to!

And one more time, just because a bunch of people follow someone else, that doesn't mean they're now in a special category where they have an obligation to take abuse from random assholes. Large accounts didn't run for this position like an elected office. They don't owe you a thing.

Let's focus on something we ALL agree on: #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files

And not a single right winger, no one in Congress, stood up and said, NO you will not let these two "volunteers" (as Jared called himself at AN INVESTOR conference last week) who stand to profit to replace experts who know what will happen if the Strait of Hormuz closes.

I feel like someone with far more moral authority than me needs to say this, over and over: Trump entrusted the fate of the country, the world economy, and thousands of service members, to his wildly conflicted son-in-law and developer buddy, who reportedly didn't know fuckall that they were hearing

Put another way, as Bill Perry once said, the chances of an all-out nuclear *war* have dropped since 1991, but the chances of the *use of a nuclear weapon somewhere" have increased.
