Compare AOC's statement to Schumer's. We desperately need to push out those ancient ineffectual Dems in charge.

they need to import this to the Stanley Cup playoffs, watching hockey players be handed stuffed animals while they seethe is the new funniest thing in the world

Had to switch to watching the Olympics closing ceremony on CBC because NBC did the stupid split-screen for an interview instead of focusing on the, you know, ceremony that everyone tuned in to watch in the first place. 😡

BREAKING: Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor (formerly Prince Andrew) has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office.

He is accused of sharing confidential government documents with Jeffrey Epstein.

Unprecedented.

Side note: it is Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s birthday today.

Cardinal Cupich: “Today is a day that speaks to all those who live in the shadows and in secret. Our immigrant friends know what it is like to live in the shadows, fearing a knock at their door…God does not need papers to see who you are.”

Seattle Fire Department responds after lift crashes into power line in Queen Anne Emergency crews responded Tuesday morning to the 1200 block of Queen Anne Avenue North after initial reports of an electrical issue in an apartment building.

Yikes, glad no one was hurt. The building next to us got evacuated. 😬 komonews.com/news/local/s...

And now it’s hailing! I don’t think my street has seen this much drama since the wind storm knocked down a huge branch a few months ago.

Trump's Caribbean Surge Nears $3 Billion Price Tag So Far The operations around Venezuela that eventually led to the capture of its president pulled in nearly a fifth of the US Navy’s surface fleet at a cost of more than $20 million a day.

Bloomberg says we've spent $3B on Trump's invasion of Venezuela.

Which is 6X more than the cancer, Alzheimer, diabetes, and heart disease cures they've cut to pay for it.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.

The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.”

It’s about control.

What’s so weird about men in power is how when they face scandal and should step down the world acts like no one else can do their jobs. Bottstein, Wasserman, these aren’t irreplaceable men! Stop with this delusion.

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.

Minneapolis was economically devastated by Operation Metro Surge, writes James Beard-winning Oglala Lakota chef Sean Sherman, suffering $10-$20 million in weekly losses.
"This isn't just immigration enforcement. This is economic sabotage wrapped in racism."

I love watching the medal ceremonies and break into a grin every time the announcer says ”et champion olympique…” 🥇

It’s annoying af that NBC/Peacock is inconsistent about which ones they show 🤬so after watching hours of a sport I have to track down the ceremony on CBC or elsewhere.

Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate — overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.
