Double OT. Missing 1C, 1D & Ehlers is already gone…what a gritty effort. 😍😍😍

I’m sure they are! It’s a physically demanding show. Beautifully executed though. :-)

Congratulations to the Performing Arts students from Grant Park on a wonderful production of “A Chorus Line”!

This morning was most definitely “ass.” #gojetsgo

My level of addiction to this is akin to Langdon’s relationship with hospital medication.

WATCH-- @chrislhayes.bsky.social: For the vast majority of Americans, life doesn't feel that unfree or different. But the Trump administration wants to take advantage of that sense of normalcy to strip away all our liberties. That is why the fate of Kilmar Abrego Garcia matters to all of us.

A whistleblower's disclosure details how DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.

Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

DOGE staffer Marko Elez, fired from Treasury for racist posts, wasn’t just rehired but has had his portfolio expanded to at least five agencies, new court filings show. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

Quite liking this campaign responding to pavement parking in Brussels: “Don't be a Putin. Don't annex the pavement." #FootpathsForPedestrians #TrottoirsAuxPiétons

RFK Jr. forces out Peter Marks, FDA’s top vaccine scientist Marks, an architect of Operation Warp Speed, warned that a recent measles outbreak shows how confidence in science and public health is being “undermined.”

Breaking: RFK Jr. has forced out PETER MARKS, the nation’s top vaccine regulator.

In his resignation letter, obtained by the Post, Marks said he was willing to work with RFK Jr on his vaccine concerns — but said Kennedy wishes “subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies.”

Be honest…are you more excited for the Monster trucks or Ted Nugent with Kid Rock?

It’s tough to argue with, but…uhhh…definitely not along the same lines as “Where is Rutger?”

I’ve been going to Jets games for 40yrs. I have never heard the 300s chant “We have healthcare” before. 🫣

Chrystia Freeland, Jodi Wilson-Raybould, Jane Philpott & Celina Caesar-Chavannes right now.

NIH needs a new institute for women’s health research, expert panel says National Academies report also calls for $16 billion in new money

While NIH’s total spending on research grants grew from $26.3 billion to $43.7 billion between 2013 to 2023, the % spent on women's health dropped from 9.7% to 7.9%. And so we still don't have cures to common conditions like endometriosis. @meredithwadman.bsky.social

It’s easier to just agree I won this.

This is everyone’s house right now? Right?

son, I have tried to keep quiet about your character and behavior, but after listening to the way you made Samantha feel today, I cannot stay silent. And as a woman and your mother I feel I must speak out.. You are an abuser of women — that is the ugly truth and I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around, and uses women for his own power and ego. You are that man (and have been for years) and as your mother, it pains me and embarrasses me to say that, but it is the sad, sad truth. I am not a saint, far from it.. so don't throw that in my face,. but your abuse over the years to women (dishonesty, sleeping around, betrayal, debasing, belittling) needs to be called out. Sam is a good mother and a good person (under the circumstances that you created) and I know deep down you know that. For you to try to label her as "unstable" for your own advantage is despicable and abusive. Is there any sense of decency left in you? She did not ask for or deserve any of what has come to her by your hand. Neither did Meredith.

I know you think this is one big competition and that we have taken her side... bunk... we are on the side of good and that is not you. (Go ahead and call me self-righteous, I dont' care) Don't you dare run to her and cry foul that we shared with us... that's what babies do. It's time for someone (I wish it was a strong man) to stand up to your abusive behavior and call it out, especially against women We still love you, but we are broken by your behavior and lack of character. I don't want to write emails like this and never thought I would. If it damages our relationship further, then so be it, but at least I have said my piece. [Redacted] And yes, we are praying for you (and you don't deserve to know how we are praying, so skip the snarky reply) I don't want an answer to this... I don't want to debate with you. You twist and abuse everything I say anyway. But... On behalf of all the women (and I know it's many) you have abused in some way, I say... get some help and take an honest look at yourself... Mom

Jesus was at Walgreen’s again.

If you go to a Wicked showing and start singing they should be allowed to beat you with popcorn bags. Them babies came to hear Ariana Grande and Cynthia Eviro, not Pam from the community theater troupe. GROW UP.

And…6mins later…@support.bsky.team the volume of these unwanted and unsolicited DMs is frequent. I am prepared to send a photo of the Snoopy pyjamas to support my claims.

The DM parade is in full swing. The guy in the picture is my husband. Please stop.

I am not your dear. I am not your fan.

I’m a cranky 45yr old woman in Snoopy pyjamas who just wants the space for community conversation again.

Call me crazy, but trump picking multiple people embroiled in sexual assault controversies to serve in his cabinet feels like a message to women all over this country that they want to control and dominate us.

Very painful to see yet again how unimportant women are in this country. The fact that all these men have sexual abuse allegations against them, but it is not considered meaningful enough to stop their nominations, is hard to wrap my head around.

I’ve always believed that anyone in the restroom is there for the same reason as I am. To pee quickly and touch as little as possible.

I don’t know what Nancy is doing in a public facility but I’m now terrified to run into her and whatever she seems to be doing with her genitals in a restroom.

The Jim Crow 2.0 era of the Trump admin begins. I don’t know what Nancy does in bathrooms that she’s so worried about.

However, I do know that anyone who can’t see this for what it is; separate water fountains & lunch counters, is a danger to a civilized equitable & democratic society.

This just makes him even more qualified for the job working for Trump.

Federal Inquiry Traced Matt Gaetz’s Venmo Payments to Women A document prepared by federal investigators bolsters claims by women who say they were hired for sex by Matt Gaetz, President-elect Donald J. Trump’s choice for attorney general, who denies wrongdoing.

What a sick POS. Everyone needs to see this Department of Justice exhibit showing all of the Matt Gaetz Venmo payments obtained by the New York Times.

That was a lot of fun. 😍 Sloppy sticks and I thought they were down for with 4mins to go in the 3rd.
