This was a word AND he cussed 😂

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

ICE raids are political violence

BREAKING: Big moment as CDC staff stage a mass walkout. They have lined the street outside its HQ to greet and salute the four top officials who have resigned in protest at RFK Jr’s attack on the agency’s science base. (🎥 AP)

imagine being so maniacally racist that you side with the fire over the firefighter

Place your bets, ladies and germs. Genius or Folly? Good idea / bad idea??

Bret Stephens is sure foaming at the mouth, but not because he's a critic.

When I boarded my flight today I realized just as I sat down that I had left my favorite water bottle on the gate agent desk! Alaska really didn’t have to ground all their planes just so I could get it back, but that’s some customer service eh?

Listening to Warm Focus by @hoverbird.bsky.social today and reading thingswemake.com/lettervoxd/ I've been exploring subtitles for movies and TV, and just as I read the part about this bulk subtitle database (opus.nlpl.eu/OpenSubtitle...) this song came on: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmo3... 🤩

"You do not have to make an A.I. version of your own employees that operate at 1.5x speed but produce purely iterative garbage, especially in media and journalism. People don’t actually want that shit. Make a good, human thing and people will bend over backwards to support you."

I am looking for someone who does small-scale dropshipping of books as a side hustle. My business is too small for commercial dropshippers. If you drop ship as a side hustle — or know of someone who does — please let me know via this form: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

The facts are simple and devastating: Aid cuts have already cost lives, and the number of deaths will continue to rise. Here’s the evidence. ​

This will be crushing in Maine, both the most elderly state and one of the most rural. :-(

The fascist regime has now funded what every fascist regime wants: an unaccountable paramilitary entity, operating outside and beyond the control of the military, judicial, and state/local systems, and primed to transform into an all-purpose repression force, likely to foster death squads.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

I got permission to share this, and I'm extremely grateful for that. The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one. This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.

Whoever invented the giant foam cowboy hat was a genius

The budget is almost as large as the Defense budget. A second military.

Hard to not notice Democrats pointedly avoiding any mention of the massive expansion of ICE's budget in this bill

you know what time it is

AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

@wonderlandblog.bsky.social 👋 Hi Alice!!

Big snail! Well, not that big. Maybe I just don’t notice garden snails that often.

*big steam whistle goes off* day's over, boys. walk away from your work computers and get on home to your loving home computers

Nice flowers in my neighborhood yesterday :)

I think a lot about what Carl Sagan said in one of his final interviews.
