They certainly are making life difficult

Honestly, I might make this a whole series bc I got sponsorship pitches multiple x/wk. Creators don't talk about how much $$ gets thrown at them for brand deals. It's so hard not to say no when you have bills to pay and biz plans you want to afford.

The racism is the point.

Slap that on mugs, T’s and lunch boxes Dems. He’s done you another favour. Use it

The first honest thing he’s said

Donald Trump first. As per usual.

$13,000,000 for what’s going to end up being a bright green swamp. Way to go, Donald Trump. And of course, no explanation for the cost overrun.

Russia is carrying out strikes on facilities belonging to American companies in Ukraine. The Trump administration is silent - NYT

Keep in mind the average worker, if lucky, gets a 3% annual raise.

The Trump White House freaked out so much at the political disaster they created for themselves with Minnesota and other viral images of their roving, trigger happy crackdowns that they were forced to make their secret police force more secretive, but they’re still committing lawless abuses and…

“The announcement comes amid ongoing criticism the president and his family are improperly profiting from his second term in the White House...” Endless corruption. www.mediaite.com/media/news/e...

Is it, though?

So you're telling me that cutting tariffs leads to lower prices? Fascinating.

NEW: NAACP on Supreme Court allowing Alabama to redraw map to dilute power of Black voters "We are witnessing a return to Jim Crow. Anybody who is alarmed by these developments—as everybody should be—better be making a plan to vote in November to put an end to this madness"

Still whining about the 2016 election, yet nary a peep about any of his 'assassination attempts.' Huh. I guess he's all forgive-and-forget about those, right?

I wish I didn’t know as much about the end of Reconstruction as I do. If you understood what is being unleashed now, how it will touch every aspect of our civic life, and how difficult it will be to undo it, you wouldn’t be able to think about anything else.

LEGO Minas Tirith? In this economy?! That's not even a joke.

Fire-tailed Sunbird. It is found in the northern parts of the Indian subcontinent, primarily in the Himalayas, and also in some adjoining regions in Southeast Asia. The species occurs in Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Myanmar, Nepal, Thailand and Tibet. 📸: Saikat Ghosh

In Louisiana and likely Alabama, actual, cast votes are going to be tossed out as officials speed ahead with new (or previously enjoined) maps. This is such an extreme use case for the Purcell principle that the court ignoring it here signifies that it was always a made-up toy, not law.

To watch people casually debate undoing birthright citizenship a right rooted in the 14th Amendment after slavery and the Civil War is devastating. Generationsfought,marched,and died for the promise to be treated equally The humanity of marginalized communities should never be up for debate #SheShed

Why haven't we heard from a SINGLE Democratic state about steps they're taking to counteract the post-VRA GOP power grabs in Louisiana and Alabama and South Carolina and Tennessee? Do you think this is going to fix itself? Why is it so fucking difficult for Democrats to fight back?

me: if i had kids, i’d be such a helicopter mom you: you DO have kids me: WHAT

More than 2,500 scientists urged Congress to reinstate the members of the National Science Foundation’s oversight board, calling Trump’s sudden dismissal of all 22 members an “alarming attack” on research funding that could cede scientific ground to China.

we don’t do enough to deal with the bad actors independently of the tool

Here's the thing, though: all of that money is imaginary. It's all investments based on stock and other literally fictional things, and when the bubble bursts, those fictional dollars will cease to exist, even conceptually. Which is why they're all pushing it so hard.

Big meeting on this tomorrow morning first thing. Wish me luck. Venmo: @TheLibertyUnderground

WE DON'T NEED PETROLEUM-BASED PLASTICS ANYMORE! "The [bamboo plastic] outperforms most commercial plastics and bioplastics in mechanical and thermo-mechanical metrics while maintaining full biodegradability in soil within 50 days and closed-loop recyclability with 90% retained strength."

I’m not sure about Central and Eastern Washington, but ICE abductions are anecdotally ramping up along the I-5 corridor, and I hope that people are planning accordingly.
