Good morning. It's been 30 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress. Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.

We are more connected than we have ever been. We are more informed than we have ever been.* This is our country and they can't have it. *Despite targeted disinformation campaigns.

Ba-room, ba-room, ba-room, barpity, barpity, barpity, barpity-Good. His dad had the pickup going. Congress has not authorized the use of military force.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it? If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say? Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

The truth hurts: Kash Patel is the least qualified FBI Director in history. On his watch, white supremacists run free, qualified staff are pushed out, and he refuses to even name right-wing extremism as the top threat. I have ZERO confidence in him to keep Americans safe.

For about three years, there has been chatter about the shooter being trans right after every shooting. This one may have been, maybe not. It doesn't matter what we do, even if we could be perfect, the propaganda machine is coming for us. We really need our allies to shout the lies down.

It's the guns.

James Dobson is dead.

Quote this with a book you read way too young that explains why you are the way you are.

This line around the corner is not for brunch, but for stationery.

Well, yeah. Shitty humans trying to blame their shittiness on women.

With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

Constantly, and with deep sadness.

If it took 8 days to build a massive concentration camp in Florida then it means they could build and house the homeless at any point but choose not to

I haven’t seen nearly enough people talking about this. The levels of greed and inhumane thinking on display is actually terrifying. America really is dystopian as fuck.

The L.A. protesters have really gone too far this time… 🌼

More than ever, we need to show up for each other. Chicago Coalition of Kink Clubs (CCKC) is organizing the kink contingent at Pride this year. Small donations are appreciated to cover the logistics. RSVP is encouraged in case organizers enforce the marcher cap: tinyurl.run/Kpride

Hey everyone, you want to know a fun factoid? Almost all of the federal agents currently in LA aren’t local, which means they’re staying at a hotel somewhere. Hotels have fire alarms. Wanna know another fun fact? If protests start popping off in other states, they can’t be everywhere at once.

What's happening tonight is anything but law and order. Don't be deceived.

Accurate.

if the wheels had come off this thing any faster it'd be a Cybertruck

Republicans' new pitch for Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill: “Well, we all are going to die.”

Feels like just in my lifetime the tech industry went from solving problems to pretending to solve problems, to creating problems

Durian Durian

They’re lashing out against Habeas and arresting Mayors because they know their position is weak and getting weaker, and they’re panicking. It’s scary to live through, but it’s less scary when you remember this isn’t coming from a position of strength, it’s sweaty desperation.

This is just to say I have lost The F/A-18 Super Hornet That was on the USS Harry S. Truman And which You were probably saving For bombing Forgive me It was the second one So sweet And so expensive

Oh, no.

In the Beano this week Bananaman’s enemy General Blight becomes the head of DOPE - the Department of Pure Evil.

Always reblog. Happy Easter!

What are your realistic transition goals? (Wrong answers only)

Is Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive? Because the amount of resistance to addressing his being trafficked gives the distinct impression that either he is dead or what they have done to him is so unspeakable that they cannot afford for him to be freed, seen, or spoken with.

I just met with the Vice President of El Salvador as we fight for the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I’m speaking to the press now with the latest on our efforts. Tune in here:

But if the American people don't have any money, then what could we possibly have that other countries want?
