Chaotic scenes of brutal violence and property destruction are coming out of Portland by the minute. Reports of one terrorist being shot for trying to break through a window to get to ICE. America cannot let these thugs go unpunished.

This is freedom! This is America!🙌🏼

Also served this, with extra herb oil on the side, YUM cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1019...

Served the feta on the side for this, it was splendid cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1019...

This salad — swapped almond butter for cashew butter because I am very mildly sensitive to almonds, but otherwise same: cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1023...

Showstopper of a pasta (I skipped the last step involving butter and soy sauce because frankly, it didn’t need it — just added a little extra salt and stirred through) cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1025...

States need to do this for climate as well.

It’s been time to start considering “Senate Majority Leader Van Hollen” ever since he went down to El Salvador to get Kilmar Abrego García out of CECOT. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/13/u...

I’d go even further and agree with Governor Gavin Newsom that Blue States should withhold funding by refusing to send taxpayer money to the federal government!!!

Just tried watching Ezra Klein’s latest NYT podcast episode on how the U.S. got to this point where vaccines are so politicized. It’s pretty clear that Klein and his guests—David Wallace Wells and Rachael Bedard—really do not understand why/how the political right turned on vaccines.

For me, hope is not a feeling of certainty about the future. It is born of the knowledge that we may do everything we can without the assurance that it will be enough. Hope is accepting that the arc of the moral universe may not bend toward justice — even if all of us push with everything we have.

“The work you all did was unknown to many Americans, rarely well understood or well appreciated. And under the guise of reform, you all got caught in the crossfire of a retribution campaign—of a war on public service and expertise.” —fmr CIA Dir Bill Burns.

Hope is what we do when the odds are long and the options limited. It is the stubborn act of trying when despair feels easier. Rather than a passive optimism, hope is the commitment of those who believe they can make a difference, however small. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/what...

Just checking in: how's everyone doing? I don't post much online anymore, mostly because I don't feel I've got much to add to the already overwhelming tsunami of noise. But I do enjoy connecting with everyone here so how are you doing? Times are precarious right now, I hope you're all holding up OK

It's Friday... And on Fridays we dance 💃🕺 🔊

This is indescribably sad.

The mass starvation & killing of Palestinians in Gaza at the hands of the Israeli gov’t is a chillul hashem, a desecration of God. Jewish leaders who criticized Zohran Mamdani for three words he doesn’t use should raise their voices loudly here as well. forward.com/opinion/7575...

This piece by @polgreen.bsky.social is absolutely brilliant. Today's must read. Gift article here. As the great-grandaughter of someone who set out on a Polish ship for New York City at only 14, all hail those with the raw courage to seek a better life. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/31/o...

Here on Bluesky, we're protective of the culture we're building. We like to block and not engage with trolls. That tends to piss them off. Honestly, that just makes it funnier! medium.com/bouncin-and-...
