“Alleged”. Right.

Sacred Mount Adams illuminated during sunset.

Other fun part of reposting this is that it's a reminder of the original Robert Kennedy

State sponsored violence is not deescalation. It’s illegal and unwarranted.

Nice barren.

Welcome to the Era of "Kavanaugh Raids" ICE crosses another big, important line.

This is a great piece by @vermontgmg.bsky.social but reminder to everyone out there to know your feds--the horrifying Chicago apartment building raid was primarily CBP/Border Patrol (accompanied by various other agencies likely including ICE) www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/welcome-to...

The Bridge ~ Valerie Thornton, 1954

the shaaaade thrown in this sentence my gawd

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."
- Theodore Roosevelt

I will ALWAYS stand with and stand up for transgender people and speak out and fight back against tyranny!!

Brazil sent Bolsonaro to the slammer for 27 yrs. South Korea shit-canned two presidents in 8 yrs.

The US's action against a tyrant.....harshly worded statements!!

Discovered a new way to fry an egg: first, seperate the white and yolk, drop the white into a hot pan with olive oil, then drop the yolk on top of that 45 seconds later.

You’ll end up with the most disappointing fried egg you’ve ever eaten. Terrible method. Wouldn’t recommend.

24 years after 9/11, it's long past time to rein in the endless war machine and demand investment in America. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnR84h7t5kI

What took them so long? I had wrongly assumed that my own health care provider was leading, not following (in this case, Washington).

This is the guy who is supposed to be in charge.

YouTube video by Taylor Lorenz We Need to Talk About 'Political Violence’

Lorenz buries the lede: We don’t want to live in a society where political violence is the norm. But she rightly points out that we already do, and decrying political violence against elites is ineffective and hypocritical.

There are important things to grieve on September 11.

Grok says that videos of Charlie Kirk being shot are memes and that he's actually fine

No justice, no peace!

His knowledge of psychology is as impressive as his knowledge of medicine.

A 1941 WPA road gang of migrant workers in New Mexico, many of whom were simultaneously working as farm laborers. Trump would have deported all of them.

A friend of mine, whose kids have Latin America heritage, can't let them walk to school by themselves.

Even if they are fine, their memories of growing up, as Americans in America, will include this loss of autonomy and freedom.

I think you yourself said this: there is a big difference between the ICE gestapo and ordinary law enforcement. Will the gestapo be persuaded by Hanoi Hannah? That might work with LEOs but with Proud Boys, 1/6 thugs, and soldiers trained to follow orders no matter what—I am highly skeptical.

Hegseth authorizes Guard troops in DC to carry weapons Defense Secretary Hegseth has signed an order allowing Guard troops in D.C. to be armed. The authority is expected to be acted upon in coming days.

Hegseth authorized the National Guard in DC to carry weapons.

This is another escalation that puts DC communities in even more danger.

We should not have armed soldiers patrolling the streets of any U.S. city, let alone our nation’s capital.

We the people demand federal forces out NOW. #FreeDC

What's funny is that all these GenAI companies could actually just embed compression-resistant patterns into their output that would cleanly make their stuff identifiable, but they don't, because they don't want to, because they want their slop to make everything unusable.

Conan O’Brien Says Late-Night TV Is Doomed O’Brien says the format is dying, but voices like Stephen Colbert will find new life elsewhere.

“People like Stephen Colbert are too talented, and too essential, to go away,” Conan O’Brien said. “It’s not going to happen. He’s not going anywhere. Stephen is going to evolve and shine brighter than ever in a new format that he controls completely.”
