Poll taxes are unconstitutional. Any i.d. that is required to vote has to be provided by the government.

This is a way to disenfranchise the poor.

Call your senators.

At 9:18, 3rd period of the Finland-Switzerland women's ice hockey QF game, the ice crew came to clean the ice during a pause

What follows is the funniest use of the slo-mo alternate angle tech I've seen them use during these Olympics of one of the crew members falling

If you haven't toured Taliesin, you HAVE to as soon a possible - it's sensational (IMHO). Thanks for the travelogue, Mary - sounds terrific!!!

Dear Pam Bondi, (A Letter From A Father) Dear Ms Bondi,

This piece has been viewed over 14 million times over the last 48 hours. Unbelievable.

I'm so encouraged to see how many people are as disgusted by this as I am.

Sometimes you just need to be reminded that you're not alone.

Keep fighting, good people!

I finished today's checklist for the GBBC with 35 species. There are no pictures of the 2 Red-shouldered Hawks screeching off and on and the 30ish Crows swirling between trees. I had to go back out to find out who was singing a new tune and it was a lone Starling.

"Dow 50,000" Sound Nice. Until Justin Wolfers Shows You That U.S. Markets Are Coming 21st Out of 23.
What does “Dow 50,000” actually tell you—anything about the economy, or just that a number got bigger? Dow 50,000 is a milestone, not a measurement. The level of the Dow is basically arbitrary: it’s… "Dow 50,000" Sound Nice. Until Justin Wolfers Shows You That U.S. Markets Are Coming 21st Out of 23.

The Dow was at 43,488 when Trump took office. It just hit 50,000.

So if you had invested $43,488 in the US, you would now have $50,000. But if you had invested the same amount in the rest of the world, you would now be worth $60,000.

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.

Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

@barackobama.bsky.social: "When I was POTUS, I suppose I could have simply unilaterally ordered the military to go into some red state and harass and intimidate a governor or cut off funding for states that didn't vote for me... but that is contrary to how I think our democracy is supposed to work."

People who did not speak Spanish and have never been to Puerto Rico saw that elderly woman serving a drink and the kids dancing with their grandmas... There's room for everybody here. That I think is where we win."

Trump: ‘There will be Voter I.D. for the Midterm Elections, whether approved by Congress or not!’ "I have searched the depths of Legal Arguments not yet articulated or vetted on this subject, and will be presenting an irrefutable one in the very near future," wrote Trump, who is not a lawyer.

NEW: President Donald Trump suggested he would issue an executive order attempting to impose a nationwide photo ID requirement for voting, a requirement to show proof of citizenship for registration, and a ban on mail voting ahead of the 2026 midterms. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I saw a screenshot of a Twitter post today that was/is hilarious.

The first tweet asked "What is Corey Lewandowski's official position"

The answer from another person was immediate and hilarious:
"Under secretary."
