This is hilarious. Also, completely enraging.

Montrose Harbor had some interesting birds this morning, including: — a mute swan — five northern shovelvers — a bunch of readheads

Successful psychopaths are very good at imitating normal emotional responses, which they learn over decades of observing normal people. But when facing a novel situation, they have no such learning to rely on, and their jarringly cold responses reveal their hollow interiors.

More than 32,000 pregnant women and 61,000 children under the age of one are at an increased risk of harm due to Trump's oil blockade of Cuba.

This was an incredible treat: a visit to one of Diego Rivera's rarely seen murals, "The People's Demand for Better Health," located in a Mexico City public hospital and thus difficult to access. Completed in 1953, the mural is a sweeping visualization of forms of ancient & modern medicine (thread)

1/3 What Musk is really referring to here is, of course “race” - that construct that served to define the hierarchies of wealth & power structured by modern colonialism. Like other far right racists though, he uses the word “culture” as a seemingly less pernicious synonym.

A week ago, Trump shared an announcement about newly released documents that warranted Obama's arrest. But it wasn't new. It was a screenshot of a December tweet referencing a bullshit July announcement … from Tulsi Gabbard, now tasked with "investigating elections."

Epstein is mentioned in the Trump files repeatedly

there are a lot of reasons to want schumer out. but even if this is not a major issue for you, claiming that your role as leader during a fascist putsch is to preserve a policy favored by the fascist and opposed by your party's voters is disqualifying. schumer cannot continue to lead the democrats

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

At this rate, he'll have to release the Epstein files to get people to stop talking about Minnesota.

This image popped into my head. Total double standard, as always. Taking over a NPS building was framed as AOK by Fox and company.

Not that we don’t protest too — we do — but Renee Good and Alex Pretti (and those who witnessed and documented their executions) were legally observing ICE kidnappings and alerting their neighbors to ICE presence. It’s not a protest, it’s a public service. It’s how we’re protecting our neighbors.
