Marquis Lafayette

This guy told the Speaker of the House to do everything in his power to stop the discharge petition, including extending the shutdown just to avoid the swearing in of someone who would make it happen. Think about how awful the info in there must be. Asking Rs to eat the shutdown just to protect him.

Physics Nobel announcement tomorrow.

If you know and dislike a famous physicist, this is the day of the year to call them up in the middle of the night, wait 10 seconds, and then do you best Swedish Chef impression...

Perhaps many millions of asthmatics (🙋🏾‍♀️) wouldn't need our inhalers if governments and corporations had actually cared about the air, the water, and the planet we live on...

They can talk to the ✋🏾 or one of the geese who live in our pond. "So, HOW did they end up with asthma in the first place?"

Stephen Miller and Donald Trump Want War They are ignoring a judge's ruling, ignoring the sovereign right of governors to keep their states safe and ignoring the on-the-ground facts to justify their dangerous invasions

“Trump can keep condemning Dems as ‘the enemy within’& lie about rising violence…The question is whether judges will continue to fearlessly stand up for the rule of law & Democratic governors will continue to stand up for their states’ people and sovereignty.”

Exposure to mining fossil fuel linked to ALS, new research finds A major pollutant from fossil fuels has been linked to an increased risk of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), according to new research.

I appreciate all the people showing love and support to me. I’m so grateful honestly. It means a lot. The ban isn’t that big of a deal for me. I think it was wrong and the explanation was bullshit. But that’s ok and I accept. Social media comes and goes. I’m grateful for all the connections I was able to make and all the people I get to be connected with off Bluesky. More importantly, the world needs more people to give a fuck. More people to give a fuck about Palestinians, more people to give a fuck about disabled folks, more people to give a fuck about our queer and trans siblings, more people to give a fuck about Black liberation. The world, and Bluesky, is full of bootlickers who will do anything to avoid doing anything to upset the status quo. These people are cowards groveling to those in power in hopes of protection. I just hope people continue to show love and care and kindness. Mutual aid is so important. Give when you can, boost when you can. We only survive this together.

Hear ye hear ye a message of hope and inspiration from our courageous leader in exile, Link. May all his loyal followers take heart!

We already knew Rep. Mike Kelly R-PA & Sen. Ron Johnson R-WI caught the eye of Jan. 6 investigators. But this FBI document tells us something triggered a federal grand jury to get a subpoena for metadata phone records of 7 other GOP Senators as part of the Jan. 6 probe.

Taking stock of the Roberts court at 20—and the shadowy forces that built it "Roberts will go down in history as the most destructive chief justice."

Trump has never sounded guiltier than this and that's a high bar

Judge speaks out after her $1.5m mansion 'exploded' Diane Goodstein, 69, was out walking on the beach when the suspected arson attack happened - just weeks after she had issued a decisive ruling against the Trump administration.

Seems suboptimal

When Marcus Aurelius started popping up everywhere, I thought maybe we were getting somewhere. But stoicism has twisted into something darker: stoic sadism, ... The Existential Danger of Stoic Sadism

Stoicism on Twitter: "Pain is weakness leaving the body"

Actual stoicism: "When you see someone suffering, remember they're human and show compassion"

Only one of these got 2000 years of philosophy right.

WATCH: CA Gov. Gavin Newsom calls BS on Republican healthcare promises by pointing out the recent damage they’ve done to our healthcare 🎯

Pritzker is also furious: “Should National Governors Association leadership choose to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization.”

For God’s Sake, Democrats: Don’t Cave They’re widely, and rightly, perceived as weak. The shutdown fight is their chance to shock us for a change.

Trump isn’t popular; the Republican Party isn’t popular; doubling the healthcare premiums for millions of people isn’t very popular, either.

“I know that there are some people in this room who don’t believe that my marriage should have been legal … and that’s ok. Because we’re all Americans who want lower taxes.”

Two years. Two fucking years of death and massacres and genocide and we've let it happen in front of our eyes. God have mercy on our souls.

Today was a really bad day in global bond markets, with longer-term yields spiking everywhere. At the root of all this is Japan, where markets worry about the likely next prime minister, who's a fiscal dove. Huge spike in Japan's 30-year JGB. Japan is a safe haven no more...

ICE is hog tying protesters in Portland and removing them on Dollies.

This is dangerous and could cause serious injury.

The Department of Homeland Security thinks it’s a joke.

They’ve shared this video with the tagline “Refuse to Walk? We’ll give you a ride”.

Stay strong Portland.

Thank goodness planes can just wing it.

this is a very very big story because of the apparently totally fake story ICE/DHS put out about what happened.

Trump says US hit another boat off Venezuela coast on Saturday U.S. forces hit another vessel allegedly carrying illegal drugs off the coast of Venezuela on Saturday evening, U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday, adding that the U.S. would also start looking at drug trafficking occurring on land.

Trump has killed at least 21 people in recent strikes. He said the US would also start looking at drug trafficking occurring on land.
“Trump made the comment during a speech at Naval Station Norfolk. It was not immediately clear if he was referencing a strike announced Friday by Hegseth.”

When is The View going to have me on the show or are they just going to continue to let an abuser spout lies on their show?

Actually watch the video.

Unreal.

by "bloodless" they mean, "we'll only murder people we don't care about."
