My paternal grandma’s family is from New Orleans, & part of the family is still there. Jews live everywhere. We take part in the cultures of the places we live, & transform them as well. We are part of the cultures where we live, not strangers or outsiders.

Title cards for CBS ∘ Designer: Georg Olden, His designs were characterized by a bold, minimalist style that effectively conveyed the essence of various TV shows, 1950s...1960s.

Dear god do you mean to tell me Noem used to look normal and even nice?

Billionaires Are Hoarding Power, Not Money Billionaire money has become a source of wildly distorted political power that allows a few men with extremist views to wreak havoc on the rest of us.

“The problem with billionaires isn’t that they’re hoarding money that would otherwise pay for a Scandinavian social utopia. It’s that their money has become a source of wildly distorted political power that allows a few men with extremist views to wreak havoc on the rest of us.”

Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado wins the Nobel Peace Prize Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado has won the Nobel Peace Prize. The Norwegian Nobel committee praised her as a key unifying figure in the opposition, advocating for free elections and...

Okay, Norway, you asked for it.

And you can tell they know they've got a winner here, because they do give you the option to downgrade to "Standard." Which seems to mean you go on paying €60 for the same stuff you had before.

So anyhow, Adobe's automatically changing everyone's Creative Cloud plan to "Pro" and increasing our monthly payments from €60 to €80 to try and recoup all that spending on AI bullshit nobody wants. That should win them friends.

I would not ever want Dolly Parton annoyed at me. I want to live my life so that Dolly Parton is never annoyed at me.

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

Yep, that's what I needed to do. Thanks for the tip, Andrej!

That's the thing I miss most about New York, the Sharia law nudists.

It's black letter, can't get more explicit, printed in US code you ignoramus. 31 U.S. Code § 1341 (c)(2)

Where's the rest of Nebraska? Also, I'd take a bigger bite out of central PA and upstate NY. I've lived in Ithaca and Iowa City and, once you leave the College Town areas, they're about equally midwestern.

That they will credit to Trump. No.

like!!! we KNOW that it is a small number of weirdos with outsized influence who want to ban books, but it's always nice to get a confirmation

A few online orders or in-store book purchases would be a nice way to support Books Upstairs after this horrible attack. Who does this? To an independent book shop?

Sending troops from Texas to forcefully occupy and suppress cities in Illinois and Oregon IN OPPOSITION TO THOSE STATES' GOVERNORS is literally a civil war and it's cooking my brain that Democrats are simply pretending it isn't happening

We must now start calling this what it is: Trump’s Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state’s military troops.

Penelope Fitzgerald was 60.

(Also, not that it means much, but I was 38.)

I'm afraid it doesn't work for me on Sonoma 14.4.1 (23E224) with either Firefox or Safari. I only get a Previous button on the practice round page, so I keep bouncing back and forth between that and the explainer page.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

Community action works.

They’re using American tax dollars to fund infrastructure in Argentina because that’s where they’re all going to flee when we kick them out of office

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

Send Dems into rural America to talk about what Trump is doing. The Republicans are too scared and won’t show their faces…in the vacuum of messaging, there is power.

Tell the folks who is hurting them. Point to the GOP. Be the foil to the shit that’s happening. Be the party of the people.
