Got this really cool, ghostly picture by accident the other day in Dillon Beach, CA. It is a Heermann's gull with both it's shadow and reflection.

Just a thought: what if we stopped measuring the economy by the state of the stock market and started measuring it based on how many people are housed and clothed and fed? https://youtu.be/tFjoDq0HfFw?si=vtbE2QNmXskvutjF

Yes, you did vote to deport moms.
Étienne-Émile Baulieu, the French biochemist and physician who was often called the father of the abortion pill — and who was also known for his pioneering studies on the role of steroid hormones in human reproduction and aging — died on Friday. He was 98. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/31/h...
WOW
Dear senators who think you can’t do anything,
Today, Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing you’re thinking about doing? DO IT.

Have to give the New York Times credit for this headline. "Wrongly" deported is the right word rather than "mistakenly" or "accidentally."
I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.
My 10 year old sister and I got Social Security payments after my father died from exposure to Agent Orange. It helped my widowed mom when the family lost his income. He paid into it his whole life. They even took it from his check while he was serving in Vietnam. Jeanine can go fuck herself.
Tell the Senate: Christians say vote NO on the SAVE Act: Christian nationalists are on the verge of silencing millions of women. Tell your senators to oppose the SAVE Act now. act.faithfulamerica.org/sign/senate_...
After massive public backlash, the Social Security Administration is rolling back its disastrous cuts to phone services.
This is a huge victory for the public against DOGE's rampage.
Keep up the fight.
They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.

❗️20 minutes before Trump's post about "time to buy," someone opened large positions at once. It was probably a clear insider tip.

No. You’ve been watching stock market fraud.
We often look back on the seminal moments in our history and wonder "What would I have done?"
This is our moment. This is our time.
We must stand up. We must speak out. We must do everything we can to stop a President who has every intention of destroying our democracy.
Waste, fraud, and abuse
OMG unbelievable!
NEW: The Supreme Court took 6 months to decide immunity, but just 6 days to effectively strip the rest of us of due process. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-corrup...
The most corrupt SCOTUS in history.
Sotomayor is right. According to this Supreme Court, the US can now kidnap, detain, and fly legal immigrants and citizens to a foreign country's prison, even if it's a whoopsie.
America, people. Freedom and stuff.
In the temporarily occupied Crimea, a mass death of dolphins has been recorded, caused by the Russian military presence.

FOTUS wants a 4 mile military parade through DC for his 79th b-day. This is the same guy who dodged the draft and now wants tanks and flyovers to mark his “accomplishments.”
Remember when the last one was canceled because it would cost $92 mil?
DOGE - I think this qualifies as wasteful spending 🙄
Trump cannot stand having competent women in leadership roles.
