Isn’t the whole point of ‘defunding’ the parks and how they operate is so they can drill, mine and log with abandon?

J.K. Rowling uses 'Harry Potter' wealth to fund anti-transgender organization This is where "Harry Potter" profits are going.

Do not give this woman a dime of your money.
1. Do not watch the new show.
2. Do not stream any of the movies (yes, that includes Fantastic Beasts)
3. Do not buy any of her books. She has a pen name Robert Galbraith.

Thank you for trying to make the world a better place with your kindle giveaways! One of these days I’m going to capture a @tkingfisher.com book that I don’t own!

I’m not sure it was ever about the savings. It was about getting crucial information on every American and access to our most sensitive money systems.

Someone on X pointed out the scant coverage of Ron Johnson saying 9/11 was an inside job. The press assumes Republicans are crazy and malevolent, so when they say crazy stuff it doesn't get covered. But they assume Dems are competent & sane, so any data point to the contrary is treated as big news.

I always think about the fact that all of these people he has put in place with all their money and supposed business acumen could have done so much good. And really without even touching their wealth. But lord what they could do if they would be willing to share just a fraction to help others.

Be suspicious of anyone who fixates on IQ as a measure of intelligence. Real intelligence isn’t a number, it’s a burning curiosity, a delight in the world, a voracious hunger “to follow knowledge like a sinking star / beyond the utmost bound of human thought.”

Kinda wild that we’re hurtling on our current trajectory toward a future in which vanilla as a flavor is considered rare and exotic in the United States.

Just a reminder: having a functional moral compass right now is going to make you feel bad all the time; don’t mistakenly hate yourself for that.

Elon wants apartheid America. So does Trump. And second class citizens-the disenfranchised and persecuted-in the society they’re engineering will not just be people of color, but women, all who disagree with them and all who aren’t rich. They want authoritarian, oligarchic, apartheid.

Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted… And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.

If it’s an utter shitshow either way, why would you vote “yes” on the GOP’s budget.

I hate the fact that the lying party will blame the Dems for a government shutdown, but so what? They lie about every goddamn thing, every goddamn day.

Funding the government is up to republicans. They’re the ruling party. Let them fund the government or shut it down.

I think this is a great idea, but maybe different Democrats for different stops. In the hills of Appalachia I don’t think Michael Cohn would be as persuasive as someone else.
