V am I

I so appreciate that someone took the time to create these.
It is a small thing and it matters.
I hope you will watch.

I am in Fort Worth, Texas, covering the Justice Department's first trial against antifascism as "terrorism."

The "Prairieland 9" protesters are accused of attacking an ICE facility last summer ... but there's much more to this story than that.

Writing a story in the coming days.

WTF?! Thank you for this, it’s crazy yet so important.
I appreciate you!

Australians to get at least three hours a day of free solar power – even if they don’t have solar panels Labor announces ‘solar sharer’ program for households in NSW, south-east Queensland and South Australia

We don’t have to live this way America.

Press question of the day:

When will we start covering wage stagnation with the same urgency as stock market highs? Working people feel inflation every day that CEOs feel record gains.

Let’s connect the dots.

Republicans in Congress could bring all of this to an end today. But they won’t. They aren’t innocent bystanders, they are accomplices.

Same!

YouTube video by The Humanist Report VERY Dangerous Conclusions are Being Drawn From a New Poll on Trans Rights

This video is great. And at 5:20 to 6:09 I was crying. @humanistreport.bsky.social thank you for everything you do. Seriously. Especially for my trans community right now. Things are really scary for us right now, and youre helping clear up myths. Stay safe yall.

Meaningful regulatory oversight.

A small ball of light green yarn, about a 1/4 skein, along with the label. The yarn is (trademarked) Silky Soft. It is 100% rayon from bamboo(?!). The background is WIP beanie using the yarn. There is ‘ribbing’ at either end, and cable stitches between. The beanie was worked flat, has been seamed and just needs its top pulled together. The thing is I have this 14wpi 100% undyed linen that I’ve been making into - nevermind, another story.

Words matter.

Choose better ones if you want to engage in serious discussions.

“Dummy” does not promote discourse.

No.

I will pretend you are a serious person who may benefit from reading this article in its entirety.

Still won’t answer the question!

The gas version of my EV is about 300 lbs lighter. My (gas) truck is about 2,000 lbs heavier than the EV (Silverado, but not a Bro-dozer).

Weight + miles driven would be a much fairer way to calculate registration/highway maintenance fees for electric & internal combustion vehicles.

Corporations Don't Have to Maximize Profits The business judgment rule gives directors protection from judicial second-guessing about how to best serve their companies and shareholders.

An interesting (old) opinion piece refutes the idea that corps must produce profits . . .

My son was not happy with all the fruit picking we did when he was a kid (cherries, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, peaches and grapes from friends yards and local farms). He gets it now - and I’m so glad your comment reminded me of those good times 🫰

Roasted pineapple and bananas around a campfire are delicious!

Human women vs chickens: an incredibly brief comparison (continued)

Human women- breathe air

Chickens- (hens specifically) breathe air

You have the freedom of choice to block me 🤣

Human women & chickens: an incredibly brief comparison of reproductive facts.

Human women- have eggs that need to be fertilized to produce offspring.

Chickens- (hens specifically) have eggs that need to be fertilized to produce offspring.

Ohhhh Kay.

The sky is not the sea.

Turning Point USA hosted an event in Alabama recently with two leading abortion 'abolitionists' - extremists who want abortion patients punished with the death penalty.

Legislators in over a dozen states (and counting) have introduced their bills.

This is no longer a 'fringe' movement

I and millions of Americans believe exactly the same thing Kasparov does.

Too many troops, too many new prisons, too much money not under Congressional supervision.

We're not just witnessing a mass deportation scheme anymore.

This is something significantly bigger and scarier.

Born breathing child??

My point is a *fetus* is not a human being in the same way an egg is not a chicken.
Both have the potential to become a human being/chicken, however while they are a fetus/egg they are not a human being/chicken.

Yes.

If a pro lifer ordered fried chicken and the waiter brought a fried egg . . . Would the pro lifer just eat it or complain/ask for what they ordered?

And there are Muricans to this day who think we can somehow go back to the way things once were.
