Is the woman ok? Is she filing charges?

#NoKings event in Fairhope, Al.
A woman was arrested for "lewd conduct" because she was dressed in penis suit with a sign that said "No dick-tator"
3 cops on a 53 yo woman.

Still having a hard time quitting Facebook.

Still slowly giving away Michael Magrath's things - today it was a fat book on the Thirty Years' War to somebody who is really excited about the Thirty Years' War.

A couple of weeks ago it was a green reversible raincoat that would never have fit him.

Don't blow your nose with poisonous plant leaves. Jus' sayin'.

Social Security website keeps crashing, as DOGE demands cuts to IT staff The worsening problems come as Elon Musk’s DOGE team pushes for more cuts at the agency, including in the department that oversees the website.

Retirees and disabled people are facing chronic website outages and other access problems as they attempt to log in to their online Social Security accounts, even as they are being directed to do more of their business with the agency online.

Attention White House:

Thou shalt not joke about how you sent an innocent father of 3 to a gulag while his autistic son smells his shirts to remember him.

Twice Baked Potatoes with the Cougar Gold canned cheddar, and some Black Waxed Ilchester of uncertain age but rankly overripe and needing to be blended with less funky cheeses. I mess with the original Moosewood recipe a lot - tons of turmeric, tomatoes, shawarma spices on top.

John Brown's Body.

Catholics and Jews as well as Blacks. The thing about spying now is we all have social media trails that blow our cover.

at night. She could always say she was owl-watching.

The license #s went to a friend at the RMV who got the names. That list went to the Catholic Bishop of Mobile, and from him to SNCC. She hung out with a somewhat renegade Jesuit priest named Father Albert Foley. The Klan has always gone after

Ooh, we could rainbow-ize a lot of their insignia!

Seriously, my grandmother spied on the KKK in South Alabama during the Civil Rights Movement. She was a tiny white birdwatcher in tennis shoes, and she used her privilege to write down license plate numbers in Southern Baptist Church parking lots

Hahaha! As you can tell I am having trouble quitting Facebook...

When you want to go to a demonstration but you have no clean underwear...

Delicious - weirdly crumbly texture but moister than powdered cheese. I just ate scrambled eggs with some canned cheese sprinkled on top!

It's also excellent in cheese sauce for scratch Mac and cheese.

I'm having a hard time shifting off Facebook, as you can tell!

Why did Cory Booker spend the night speaking on the Senate floor? The New Jersey Democrat is speaking in protest of the Trump administration’s policies. He is not delaying the Senate from a vote, so it is not a filibuster.

Sen. Cory Booker (D-New Jersey) has been speaking on the Senate floor since 7 p.m. Monday, vowing to speak for “as long as I’m physically able” to protest President Donald Trump, Elon Musk and the administration’s policies.

Here’s what to know.

DC heads up, sparkly boots on!

I'm following this! A "go bag" would be different for wheelchair users. Local municipalities need to plan for this - it's local EMTs who will respond to all the calls if there is an attack on the power grid and people with home medical devices need to get to a central place with auxiliary power.

Might save a life.

Hahaha! Sha-DUMP-bump!

Salt Lake City Hall Lit up in Pride Colors

The Utah State Legislature banned pride flags on government buildings so the Salt Lake City government lit City Hall up in Pride Colors ☠️

Is today a tariff day, or a non-tariff day?

Confirmed from catching up w/my bestie today that her brother, a cancer researcher, has all of his NIH research grants paused.

He hasn't had to fire anybody, because he's not a supervisor, but Trump getting both Houses of Congress to give a kid with cancer a standing ovation...whited sepulchre.

Well said!
