A major determiner of when and whether Xi Jinping eventually thinks, "OK, *today* is the day it's finally worth the risk of invading Taiwan," is when and whether US cuts Ukraine loose.

Surely Marco R "knows" that. And that it would affect "life in America on a daily basis, and around the world."

Crow: "Look at what happened. US military personnel in uniform literally were on hands & knees rolling out a red carpet for the most murderous dictator of the 21st century...we keep on acting like Putin deserves to be brought out in open like any of head of state. This is a historic embarrassment."

The more MAGA disses Costco, the more I load up my Costco cart! As for my partner, if we ever have to evacuate from a fire, flood, or the end of the world, he'll want to evac to Costco! Yep, there he'll be, happily using the vitamix to make healthy smoothies... 😂

Anyone have a bingo on their crimeridden hellscape bingo cards?

BBC: “Al Jazeera’s entire team in Gaza city has been killed.”

RIP CBS News integrity💐 and press freedom.

YouTube video by Freedom of the Press Foundation John Cusack: Time to drop paywalls for FOIA reporting

Watch this PSA from our board member @johncusack.bsky.social: Democracy is under attack — and paywalls shouldn’t stand in the way of accessing vital public records.

News outlets, it’s time to drop the paywalls for FOIA-based reporting.

@wired.com did it. @404media.co did it.

Now, it’s your turn.

Will the fruits of Supreme Court rulings be a nationwide gerrymander pissing contest?

Oh, we do remember -- and we DO talk about it! And also about that guy's bestie.

Paying for Trump's f'ing tariffs sucks! Everything I buy costs too much!

I relate! I'm so creeped out by being surveilled👀 by Tech, Govt, and even my TV ffs! But I do LOVE handwritten letters with doodles😊!

AMEN! May my non-smart goods live as long as I do! I visited my friend with AI smart everything -- and Siri was on the counter doing tasks as asked. And listening to our coffee chat...Creepy.

Wow! Nice job!

Omg🙈

Interesting. And yet these Republican rural voters continue to vote for people who will destroy rather than help their loves and livelihood.

And a "free" billion tax dollar old Qatari plane gift/grift.

Get vaccines while still covered! I've read books with children dying from infectious diseases -- but never did I ever want to see kids dying from preventable, horrible diseases like it's 1900... Refund science, rehire competent scientists!

To improve as described, one needs to work at being open to objective data and new evidence. I suggest reading up on why humans may struggle with changing their mind (eg cognitive biases, brain biology) and use this to help ourselves and others to be open to evidence and change.

👏👏👏

Are you sure they didn't say "Qualified? Seriously?!"😉

Thank God there are still Americans who are not willing to give up on freedom of speech! NO to #Gerrymander!

Also on the subject of fair elections, every vote for President should count equally! NO #ElectoralCollege! Swing state voters should count the same as all other voters!

NO to American taxpayers like me investing in immigrant private prisons/concentration camps! YES to systemic reform that includes due process and humane Christian treatment. #NoConcentrationCamps

I was thinking that my citizenship, passport, and Global Entry might offer protection but... omg

On day 1, she checked out her new digs. And looked through the fence at two neighbors. Later, she sniffed, wrestled, and chased her new neighbors.

We took her to Dog Beach during the trial period. She ran to each pack to sniff and play chase. As I had 0% voice control, I herded her and we both got pooped! So far, she's not a surfer or ball dog (like Haley, our last dog). Looks like desert dog loves being beach dog! #dog

My sister asked what "Take America Back" signs mean. IMO, Take America Back in Time. To pre-1970s Roe. To pre-1960s Medicaid, Civil Rights, environmental laws. To pre-1935 safety net. To pre-1890s consumer or work safety. To 1700s-1940s camps for PNGs. To... ???
