They want to imprison anyone for burning down a Tesla. For 20 years. How much for burning down the stock market?

Senator Cory Booker has started his 18th hour of a filibuster on the Senate floor. Thank you, Cory, for standing up for our veterans and the VA! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

NEW 🧵 Is human intelligence starting to decline? Recent results from major international tests show that the average person’s capacity to process information, use reasoning and solve novel problems has been falling since around the mid 2010s What should we make of this? www.ft.com/content/a801...

The Associated Press has sued three Trump administration officials over access to presidential events, citing freedom of speech in asking a federal judge to stop the 10-day blocking of its journalists.

Governor Mills doesn’t suffer fools lightly, and it appears she has even less tolerance for bullies. (And as a former attorney general, she knows what she’s talking about.)

This is what I have to imagine is a relatively rare occurrence of Grassley receiving a letter from someone older than he is.

lawyers: your bat signal has been activated

You have questions. Mostly of the "What Can I Do to Resist This Coup?" variety. Choose Democracy has answers. Here's a really handy guide to the how/what/why of organizing... Share widely. Link here: choosedemocracy.us/what-can-i-do/

I guess a quarter trillion isn't enough for that level of emotional poverty, so he's grifting from you, me, and the children abandoned by USAID.

A selection of teapots from past firings of my Bourry-box wood kilns in NC and WV. I resisted making them for years, being intimidated by the process. Decided to give it a go and now it's one of my favorite forms! #thistleglenpottery #teapots #woodfiring #mtlebanonpa #flyash #stoneware

I want to laugh at how deeply stupid Kristi Noem is, and then I remember she’s in charge of the Department of Homeland Security and just want to cry

A single word can be a lie. For example, journalists are still calling what Musk and his child army have been doing an operation in pursuit of government efficiency.... www.meditationsinanemergency.com/to-use-their...

Pots for the Highlander wood kiln firing have been wadded! #thistleglenpottery #highlanderwoodkiln #woodfiring #stoneware #wadding #mtlebanonpa

Trump and Musk's actions can overwhelm the reader. Important not to forget basic facts. If Musk illegally accessed federal employee records and tax and social security information and transferred them to a private device, he is vulnerable to prosecution and a multidecade sentence in federal prison.

A private citizen, with the backing of the President, illegally shut down a major government agency over the weekend and it is not on the front page of this morning's New York Times @peterbakernyt.bsky.social

"This is not a minor transgression. This is an illegal act. They stormed into buildings, they shut down agencies illegally." - @schatz.bsky.social

Must read. Musk has taken control of all of our money!

Looking forward to learning more about Bluesky and figuring out how to best utilize its potential...my first post is an image of a few of my wood fired oil flasks that came out of a recent firing of the Highlander wood kiln in Ligonier, Pennsylvania...

It is Friday afternoon of a wild, wild week. And yet for me a reassuring one. My greatest fear was not of what they would do. It's that we would let them. And I'm seeing a lot of beautiful intransigence. From federal workers. From people all over the country obstructing ICE....

This will do wonders for the forthcoming argument that X isn’t a “state actor” for purposes of violating the Constitution.
