Massachusetts is extremely weird about this. Drivers sometimes go to far out of their way to let people cut in when it really isn't necessary, but when it is and people do let you in they almost never acknowledge it. It was the exact opposite in NOVA.

They could've responded by (a) answering the questions or (b) respectfully declining to answer, but instead they went full MAFIA on them. Drop this or else. This is the modern Republican Party.

It's a quote from Blazing Saddles. Maybe I should have changed it.

This album still makes me weep. God, I miss Delores.

ICE thugs.

TRUMP: "I want rustlers, cutthroats, murderers, bounty hunters, desperados, mugs, pugs, thugs, nitwits, halfwits, dimwits, vipers, snipers, con men, muggers, buggerers, bushwhackers, hornswogglers, horse thieves, train robbers, bank robbers, ass-kickers, shit-kickers and Methodists!"

In Utah, Trump’s Vision for Homelessness Begins to Take Shape

Under Trump, the draconian future of homelessness policy is coming into focus: mass internment. Utah is building a 16-acre site to detain up to 1,300 homeless people inside locked "accountability centers." This is profoundly alarming.

Vital reporting from @ellenbarry.bsky.social and Jason DeParle:

I believe the term they meant to use is "concentration camp"

When did making kids go hungry become a Christian value?

Tear it down. Tell all the companies like Amazon, Google, Palantir and Meta that they need to contribute the same amount to tearing it down and rebuilding the East Wing or their government contracts go bye bye forever.

7 more days, 7 more days

They say history doesn't repeat, but it often rhymes. But damn, this is the worst limerick I have ever heard.

Wait until he hears that Reagan didn't trust the Russians.

Wow. That guy has never been to a Comic Con apparently. Or heard of Ursula K LeGuin. Or the inventor of sci-fi, Mary Shelly.

This thread. Hugely important and worth the read.

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

Will definitely be going to RI Comic Con this year! Haven't been since the lockdown.

"Do what I say or you don't get paid" Trump will tell our troops. Including shooting American citizens? Including taking over State Houses in Boston, NY and Chicago? Including guarding slaves (immigrants held in concentration camps) as they are forced to pick fruits and vegetables?

North Carolina, you in danger girl!
And the rest of democracy is in danger right along with you.
This is a powerful speech.

Alan W. Weis 14h • ... X Ghislaine's Maxwell's father, Robert "Cap'n Bob" Maxwell, developed the KGB's 'honeypot kompromat' scheme (filming rich & powerful men in compromising situations) originally for Mossad. That is how most world Intel Agencies think the KGB turned Trump. Epstein & Maxwell were NOT "sex traffickers". They ran a business that Ghislaine inherited from her father. They sold blackmail they themselves had engineered: procuring & grooming underage girls to be proffered to people like Trump & Musk, then selling that video evidence to the highest bidders, usually Vladimir Putin & the KGB.

Chelsea Clinton on the demolition of the East Wing at the White House: “What was dismantled today isn’t just marble or plaster; it is a reflection of how easily history can be erased when power forgets purpose.”

"nearly half..." ???

it's an open book test.

In my opinion If anyone sent that check it was either (a) the crypto guy he just pardoned (b) somebody else looking for a pardon - like Diddy (c) Vladimir Putin or (d) Saudi Arabia paying him so they can now have a training facility for their pilots like Kuwait got.

It's more likely make up though.

I've said this in the past on other platforms. Still haven't gotten an answer to it either.
