Whenever I have a truly exhausting week I like to eat food so hot that in comparison to the physical pain I feel downright euphoric. For times like these there's drizzling extra buldak hot sauce on extra spicy ramen

Senate Democrats should introduce a “Melissa Hortman day of remembrance” and see if Republicans object to it.

As Gretchen Gehrke states, Trump's war on "woke" is altering "our ability as a collective society to be able to identify and discuss reality." “If we only are dealing with the information that we’re receiving via social media, we’re literally operating in different realities.”

California Fish and Wildlife officers said they busted about 45 Dungeness crab poachers at Thornton Beach, seizing hundreds of crabs and issuing about 15 citations.

I have to admit, I was brainwashed by Hollywood into thinking there was some kind of consensus that fascism and genocide were bad.

The identity of a mystery author behind the new crime novel The Ending Writes Itself, Evelyn Clarke, has been revealed as the duo VE Schwab and Cat Clarke 👇 #BookSky

Don't let the big 🧀 #MAGA's whip the rest of us into a #CivilWar over a #Tankie #Incel murdering a #hatemonger. The innocent casualties that will die or be injured on both sides deserve better.

Agree w/ this, & would like to point out to folks that may have complex views on religion— based on my observations through my reporting—the largest segment that has pushed back against the spread of Christian Nationalism has been interfaith coalitions. progressive.org/public-schoo...

I think this is the future. I think each individual state needs to create its own future social safety net & United States is going to have to become more like Europe because we really do have cultures that are that different. Not to mention each state's particular needs greatly vary in healthcare.

As someone whose mother died when a preteen, I feel sorry for his kid. I'm also upset because the gun control he disagreed with would've prevented this & worse. But as somebody told to "kill themselves" & whose white husband was called a "race traitor" by a minion of his don't expect more 🤦🏻‍♀️

I need publications to work on their email headings for their morning newsletter. 'Cause there's something about seeing email subject lines like "WE'RE ALL FUCKED" that really sets the wrong vibe for the rest of the day.

A Call for Help🥹🍉🚨🇵🇸 I write to you with a heart weighed down by sorrow. My young daughters have endured the unimaginable horrors of the war in Gaza. They lost their sense of safety, and their innocent eyes have witnessed scenes no child should ever see 🌸🥹🫂🍉 gofund.me/7cced7aa4

If you have a screenshot of a US politician or leader blaming the left, or declaring some war, or anything before we knew who the shooter was, please post in the comments. We will need to keep these

MINNESOTA SURGEON: “I hope someday we can get that message through these politicians’ thick skulls as well as some of these bullets do… Sophia may be the 3rd fatality.” 💔 (Thankfully Sophia is no longer in critical condition: www.kaaltv.com/news/a-mirac...)

This citizen and vet was grabbed by immigration agents--and held for three days He wasn't allowed to contact anyone, not his lawyer, not his family "No one told me what I was there for. I thought I was gonna just disappear and never see my fucking kids again" www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Well that's enough social media for me today. Going to be working on my house backlog instead. ✌🏼

I'll have the clip shortly, but I have to imagine I'm the first person on right-wing media to say Melissa Hortman's name today. Republicans want to deny that one of their own murdered a Democratic lawmaker over the summer—it doesn't fit their BS narrative that blames all violence on the left.

Deeply disturbing rhetoric is spreading from influential MAGA figures (including the President of the United States and the owner of that other website). They have no idea who the shooter is, and many of these same people mocked Democrats when they were victims of political violence in the past. 1/

A lot of closeted rightwingers are coming out the woodwork on my social media feeds and I gotta say they ain't have none of this same energy for when a rightwinger shot up the CDC and killed two lawmakers and their loved ones. None of that energy for other mass shootings. But kirk is what broke them

Dying of laughter ...

A Bay Area pie shop and café is struggling to stay open, citing a sustained and sharp drop in business and other headwinds. “Things are bleak,” the owners wrote in an announcement.

Even the devout, church-going Congregationalist John Adams, who had signed the Declaration of Independence, inked his presidential signature on the 1796 Treaty of Tripoli affirming to Americans and the world that “the United States is not, in any sense, a Christian nation.”

"The Trump administration has proposed [a] … 15% cap on reimbursements for indirect costs, which would be devastating and shortsighted. The research community can and should offer a workable alternative," write Jennifer Lodge and Richard Stanton in a new #ScienceEditorial. https://scim.ag/46cd5O2

Boy am I glad my hubs went with the mat from a 🇫🇷 company that can't do this 💩 because they have proper consumer protection laws. Also, I never understood how people could sleep with a ring on anyways. It just makes no sense. It's SO uncomfortable. FFS I can't even wear my wedding 💍 during daytime.
