I live in Texas. No one did jack shit to protect those people. There was no advance warning from anyone.

This hits hard.

Duckworth: "He's accepting a bribe, which is unconstitutional and illegal. And he's gonna accept an aircraft that then is gonna cost taxpayers another billion dollars at a time when he wants to cut funding for Medicaid. It's simple unacceptable."

If I were a member of Congress I would have already introduced a bill prohibiting ICE agents from wearing face masks and requiring them to wear official identification at all times

When Laura Loomer calls the new Pope a “woke Marxist,” you know he must be doing something right.

I quit Ozempic and embraced feeling healthy over striving for thinness Taking the drug made one writer feel so sick she quit and focused on healthy habits instead of her body size. Turns out, 65% of people using GLP-1 drugs for weight loss quit within a year.

Beginning of the knit project on a tray table. Two needles with about ten rows of yarn for the collar of a sweater.

The beginning of a cardigan on knitting needles. It’s the shoulders down to the armpit. No sleeves yet.

The cardigan, knit down a little further now, with four skeins of yarn behind it.

It’s #WIPWednesday! 🧶

This is what I’ve been knitting between Fight the Oligarchy rally stops.

Oversized Seasons Cardigan by Ozetta.

Splurged big-time on the yarn (🫣) but honestly after holding this thing for weeks I’m happy I did. Woolerton Estates in Fluffy. #KnitSky

So much misogyny!

A Fork in the Road: Is Federal Employee Privacy Compromised? In this interview, I speak to a systems security specialist who found privacy problems surrounding the HR@opm.gov email servers

Back in January, I reported on DOGE entering an agency system, exporting the data, OPM server info left open to the public, and someone signing in from a foreign country using a DOGE account. Almost identical to what the Whistleblower reported to NPR this week www.muellershewrote.com/p/a-fork-in-...

State Terror A brief guide for Americans

"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps.
This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, and it has to be identified as such to be stopped"

First they came for the innocent man deported to a Salvadoran gulag on an “administrative error” they falsely claim they’re powerless to reverse, flouting court orders even from the Supreme Court — and I spoke out, because I know how the damn poem ends.

YouTube video by Sen. Adam Schiff This Is a Constitutional Crisis

The constitutional crisis is here.

The President is disobeying lawful court orders. His advisors and allies are cheering him on. And Kilmar Abrego Garcia remains trapped in a jail in El Salvador.

Original 1925 jacket cover of The Great Gatsby The Great Gatsby Here is a novel, glamorous, ironical, compassionate a marvellous fusion into unity of the curious incongruities of the life of the period which reveals a hero like no other one who could live at no other time and in no other place. But he will live as a character, we surmise, as long as the memory of any reader lasts. "There was something gorgeous about him, some heightened sensitivity to the promises of life. .. It was an extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness such as I have never found in any other person and which it is not likely I shall ever find again?" It is the story of this Jay Gatsby who came so mysteriously to West Egg, of his sumptuous er-tertainments, and of his love for Daisy Buchanan a story that ranges from pure lyrical beauty to sheer brutal realism, and is infused with a sense of the strangeness of human circumstance in a heedless universe. It is a magical, living book, blended of irony, romance, and mysticism. CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS The GREAT GATSBY FITZGERALD

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.

-FS Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, published 4/10/1925.

Hats off to the very strong #HandsOff signage yesterday!

Thanks for making your voices heard. 🙏

"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥

I'm not a programming guy but MSNBC and CNN should be airing this Cory Booker thing in the same way you take over programming if there's a no-hitter or a basketball player with 60 points in three quarters. It's a physical feat! Cut in for this kind of thing. Costs nothing, gooses ratings, good TV.

Thank you Senator Booker for speaking out on the issues our families care most about. Tune in and cheer him! Read more stories here:

Don’t know if I’ll ever understand…
We all knew what was coming. Project 2025 was a clear blueprint. We knew he’d try to steal the election… and yet… not one vote challenge. Not one. “When we fight, we win”? We needed you to walk your talk on November 6th to prevent all this.

The CDC Buried a Measles Forecast That Stressed the Need for Vaccinations The move — along with the CDC’s explanation — is a sign that the nation’s top public health agency may be falling in line under HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime critic of vaccines.

This week, as the number of confirmed measles cases rose to 483, the CDC buried a report that would’ve stressed the importance of getting vaccinated.

The move was “not normal at all,” one agency staff member said.

Detain him with plainclothes masked men, send him to a Louisiana jail and don’t tell his lawyers where he is or you’re not serious about stopping shit.
