I can’t believe it and yet here’s the proof.

who is the politician most likely to run in 2028 on progressively taxing billionaires and corporations to fully pay for the network of concentration camps and the new american gestapo?

@michaelhobbes.bsky.social I assume you saw that Clarence cited the New York Times a bunch in his anti-trans ruling. Thank you for all the good work you do, including keeping me abreast of how absolutely godawful the times is.

"That's wrong!" cried Wolf. "Have you forgot
To tell me what BIG TEETH I've got?
Ah well, no matter what you say,
I'm going to eat you anyway."
The small girl smiles. One eyelid flickers.
She whips a pistol from her knickers.
She aims it at the creature's head
And bang bang bang, she shoots him dead.
A few weeks later, in the wood,
I came across Miss Riding Hood.
But what a change! No cloak of red,
No silly hood upon her head.
She said, "Hello, and do please note
My lovely furry wolfskin coat."

Best poutine I ever had was in Littleton NH at β€œVulgar Display of Pountine.” Yes, their logo was based on the pantera record.

Hey man sorry to hear about all your political turmoil. Would it help if I scrolled around on the computer all day and drove myself insane?

One of the greats of all time. Her work in activism outside of music is not to be forgotten either. What a life.

Trump funding freeze a blatant violation of Constitution, federal law: Legal experts The Constitution, federal law and court decisions make it clear: President Donald Trump's order to pause federal funding is against the law, legal experts tell ABC News.

It would be fantastic if major federal institutions would acknowledge that the executive branch cannot legally unilaterally cancel or redistribute congressionally appropriated funding on ideological grounds and thus they have no legal obligation to comply with such directives

Coming on here and seeing all the friends who are looking for me reminds me of unpacking the record collection after a move;
Oh look at this old friend! And this one!

It’s nice to feel surrounded by good people.

Anthony Fauci Stripped of Government Security Protection Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, who was one of the nation’s top health officials for decades, had received death threats during the coronavirus pandemic. He has hired his own security detail.

Still can't get over this. PEPFAR is one of the best things the US has ever done, and we're doing this. Monstrous.

An aide to House Speaker Mike Johnson advised Republican colleagues against subpoenaing former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson as part of their investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021, attack in an effort to prevent the release of sexually explicit texts that lawmakers sent her, according to written correspondence reviewed by The Post and a person familiar with the effort.

House GOP can't subpoena Cassidy Hutchinson about Liz Cheney talking to her because so many of them sent her sexually explicit texts.

Poem by Maggie Smith:

Heart

A child of, say, six knows you’re not the shape
she’s learned to make by drawing half along a fold,
cutting, then opening. Where do you open?
Where do you carry your dead? There’s no locket
for thatβ€”hinged, hanging on a chain that greens
your throat. And the dead inside you, don’t you
hear them breathing? You must have a hole
they can press their gray lips to. If you openβ€”
when you openβ€”will we find them folded inside?
In what shape? I mean what cut shape is made
whole by opening? I mean besides the heart.

It's always been obvious that the anti-DEI backlash wasn't driven by opposition to silly or ineffective trainings, it was opposition to diversity itself.

the current conservative meta is that disqualifying a candidate for trying to forcibly seize the presidency undermines democracy, but the act of attempting to forcibly seize the presidency itself was legitimate legal maneuvering
