And I did not speak out, because I was not a Palestinian

The push for *another* continuing resolution from Trump/Johnson is a good reminder that one of Republicans key weaknesses is that they just suck at legislating. Dems had already passed the American Rescue Plan and American Recovery and Reinvestment Act by this time their last two trifectas

We need some better language for pushing back against what the administration is doing. They’re not “ending DEI.”

No. They're firing women and people of color in the military.
They’re forbidding whole fields of research.
They’re erasing trans people from existence.

Came here to see if someone else could confirm my suspicion that this was an original Twu

Congressman Al Green on X: "Today, the House GOP censured me for speaking out for the American people against @POTUS’s plan to cut Medicaid.

Wow @wutrain.bsky.social! 🔥

Top of the list is Pleistocene Park.

This guy who wants to revive Wooly Mammoths through a genetic engineering program with recovered genetic material and elephants.

Breed/release them to Siberian tundra to restore pre-anthropic habitat. He thinks it could reduce global temps by like 0.5C

trump was literally president for four years during which he wildly escalated drone warfare, tried to provoke a war with Iran and got into dangerous saber-rattling with north korea. now, he is threatening to take greenland and the panama canal by force. what is this horseshit?

I knew this would happen, but it's still surreal to hear another nation's leader talk to us in a televised address the way US presidents have historically spoken to the citizens of countries led by dictators and despots.

Lockheed Martin and Boeing announced billions of dollars in investments in partnership with DoD under Hegseth.

Production to be spread across 50 states and dozens of Congressional districts.

Be careful advertising this information. Might get mugged for your eggs

I think I learned this from your brother Hank

A thing I wish more people knew is that measles is basically the most contagious disease in the world

Walk away from the dominance of small dollar donors? Like wtf are we even talking about there?

Litmus tests for people giving $50?

Prefacing this by saying I completely agree and that your meaning is clear.

But writing this to say that in international cases, we should really call it The Star-spangled Banner, since Canada and other countries also have national anthems

Stopped here on a trip up to Portland, ME once and was just stunned.

This is the small town America of my dreams. Spent hours easily walking between shops, vistas, and historical sites on a whim

the density of this block is about 35 DU/acre

the 4/5 story perimeter block below is ~50 DU/acre.

I finally gave in and watched the whole exchange, and sadly I recommend it if you want to understand what happened.

The transcript below does not convey how much Trump and Vance constantly talked and shouted over Zelensky. And Trump’s… segue into other topics at the end should be heard.

Watching Putin’s little stooges try to bully Zelenskyy in our goddamned White House is pretty repulsive.

We will live to see these bastards removed from power, but I don't think we'll outlive the shame of this national disgrace.

Putting “Trump declares Pluto a planet again” on my bingo card.

We’re witnessing a Brexit-level instance of completely unnecessary economic destruction. A country that’s not hit by any shock, but simply chooses policy self-harm.

I understand a lot of the old (bigoted, insane) reasons for zoning

But I always wonder why the upper middle class banned their own homes in their own neighborhoods. The people making these calls probably lived in Comm Ave townhomes!

Here is a 2018 conversation between Jeff Bezos and German publisher Matthias Döpfner at a Business Insider event. Presumably, he is as crimson as a Washington State cherry today:

I once gave a lecture to my college magazine writing staff about the important differences of each dash. We have to keep the flame alive.

"but fighting racism is rarely considered an EA priority"

Sigh

To me, a Nazi salute means, "I want to murder your family." There can be no irony about it: It puts deep anger and hatred in my heart to see it done and I will never forgive anyone who justifies or minimizes it.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.
