After five minutes of affectionate, purring cuddles, my cat hopped up onto the back of my chair to chill while I was writing. Five minutes later, he slapped me on the head and dug his claw into the back of my scalp. πŸ™„

John Fetterman (D-Pa.)

Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.)
Rosen (D-Nev.)
Durbin (D-Ill.)
Shaheen (D-N.H.)
Hassan (D-N.H.)

Rather conveniently, none of these Dems face an election or a primary challenge next year, while 2 of them have announced their retirement.

a woman in a black dress says it - it - the f - it - flam - flames Alt: Madeline Khan, dolled up in a black dress, pearls, and a short dark wig in her role as Mrs. White in 'Clue,' says, "it - it - the f - it - flam - flames. Flames, on the side of my face..." while gesturing vaguely at her head with both hands.

I hate the Czech postal service SO MUCH.

β€œI Don’t Feel Safe”: Black Memphis Residents Report Harassment by Trump’s Police Task Force A pastor was pulled over for looking lost. A 72-year-old was marched out in his bathrobe due to mistaken identity. Memphis’ mayor welcomed the federal law enforcement surge, but some residents say the...

Phillip Lewis, a 72-year-old cancer patient, said he was woken up and marched outside his home in his robe and underwear before federal officers even checked his ID.

He was not, it turned out, the man they were looking for.

It's not about Democrats "outplaying" anyone. They're terrible strategists. The GOP took over the country this year and showed its entire true face to everyone, and more and more people are seeing how horrifying it is.

In 2008, a blogger named Curtis Yarvin called for a future president to kill foreign aid programs as part of a plan to replace democracy with dictatorship.

Now 600,000 people are deadβ€”and 14 million will die by 2030, according to the Lancet. This is the running death toll of tech fascism.

In case anyone is wondering if Watson was really THAT bad, @lpachter.bsky.social compiled a list of quotes that are absolutely not for the faint of heart.

From the photos, she looks like she's about four-foot-nine. And whoever-it-was shot her in the head, so clearly they saw her. You cannot tell me they were scared.

The only solution to this is for communities to respond with force. No American is obligated to accept this lawlessness from the federal government. Mayors and governors should say so.

Sometimes I'll block someone I've never interacted with if they just seem really unpleasant.

This is hardly being mentioned in the news, and I didn't know how bad it was until I looked it up just now, but apparently 2500+ civilians have been murdered in this city IN THE LAST WEEK.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally β€” almost certainly incomplete β€” includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.

They’ve had their necks kneeled on.

They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

Leaked document. Yikes, things are about to get much worse. It looks like we’re on the verge of becoming a military state across the country. Step out of line, and the man come and take you away.

Can you used canned ones? We always used those to make creamed onions. Not sure if they're more or less available.

America can be pernicious. Most kids don't want turnip and mangelwurzel lanterns anymore. No, they want pumpkins and exotic squashes. You try and tell them to stick to mangels, but they just think grandad is a fool. At least they are still guising. – Ed Nazey, 1982 #VOH #FolkloreThursday

The US only teaches history that prominently features itself, and we were only involved in the last third of that war. Still weird not to talk about something that killed more than 100,000 of your citizens, but we're a weird country.
