Had lunch with my mom who mentioned the tv show Bonanza being from the 50’s and I told her it actually aired from 1959 to 1973 and I know that because I listen to a podcast where someone pretends to be a cowboy poet who hunts werewolves and also reviews Bonanza episodes, then there was a weird pause

I'm old. I read all that shit. Many have good ideas. Asimov was a sex pest...and extremely limited as a writer. Clark couldn't say what he wanted to--and didn't. Heinlein had books with at least a black protagonist, a Hispanic one, & a queer one, but often in support of some ridiculously bad ideas.

Yup.

Another horrific series of press rights abuses tonight at hands of LAPD.

Initial reports are 4 journalists injured (several bleeding), 3 cameras broken, 5 put in zip ties.

All in defiance of state law, a judge's order, and chief's signed order.

LAPD can't police itself. Maybe the judge will.

Timothy Treadwell has entered the chat.

Trump and Putin will meet in Alaska next week, Trump says President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin are planning to meet in the United States, multiple sources tell CBS News.

It’s truly depraved for Trump to welcome Vladimir Putin to the US while Putin is actively wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes in Ukraine.

Trump calls this a peace summit but it’s just an opportunity to hang out with one of his dictator buddies. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-a...

Let me repeat it! 👇🏼👇🏽👇🏾👇🏼👇🏽

Subject matter expert?

A video arguing that women shouldn’t be able to vote was just shared by Trump’s Secretary of Defense, the guy in charge of our whole military.

And Democratic Party leaders still can’t stand up to this administration?! Our rights are on the line and all our party leaders offer us is silence.

The Confederates always used "state's rights" when it was convenient and the feds to control the states when it wasn't.

We are still fighting the confederates...they weren't punished well enough and they never went away.

A dozen or more transgender members of the U.S. Air Force who had sought early retirement to avoid being discharged for their gender identity have had those retirements canceled. Each has served between 15 and 18 years.

The CEO of a a multi-trillion dollar company went to the White House, openly handed the US president a gift made of gold, and his company got a special exemption to tariffs the president has illegally imposed.

Also, the Founders took bribery so seriously the Constitution bans it 3 separate times.

Odd, how South Park is covering Kristi Noem and her ICE hooligans more accurately than The New York Times.

Grammar police.

mRNA cancer vaccines teach the immune system to spot cancer. The mRNA gives instructions to make tumor proteins, which help train T cells to recognize and attack cancer cells-even ones the body normally overlooks.

Thanks @dawnymock.bsky.social

This is really taking "they're only in government to benefit themselves" to the next level.

Priorities.

Sometimes illegal is right

If you’re wondering how ICE recruitment and training is going under Kristi Noem—South Park already nailed it.

He wants to make sure we never forget him. :-/

Video shows Department of Justice official urging Jan. 6 rioters to 'kill' cops The Department of Justice hired a former Jan. 6 defendant who was caught on tape urging rioters to "kill" police. The department calls him a "valued member" of the administration.

NEW: Police bodycam footage introduced at the trial of Jared Wise showed him berating police officers on Jan. 6, 2021, and yelling "kill 'em" as rioters attacked law enforcement. He’s now working as a senior adviser for the Department of Justice.

Let me get this straight. The Vice President of the United States of America and numerous administration officials are meeting this evening for a private meeting to discuss how to protect the President from accusations regarding sex trafficking and abuse of children.

Did I get that right?

someone hacked the audio system and started playing circus music as she was talking and i am WHEEZING

Thousands of files on rogue California cops made public via searchable database The records open a window into nearly 12,000 cases involving allegations of sexual assault to brutality complaints and incidents involving deadly force

Cops are great.

"The records open a window into nearly 12,000 cases involving allegations of sexual assault to brutality complaints and incidents involving deadly force"

The party that wants to do nothing on gun violence, climate change and income inequality promises to do something about these damned paper straws

Such an important point:

“Progressive policies…are very popular in this country…but you have a segment of the Democratic Party that keeps trying to convince progressives we’re losing elections because their policies need to be more moderate.” Matt Dowd

I wish more understood this.

A confession…
🧵

Democratic voters don’t want passive or “reach across the aisle” politics while we are fighting literal fascism.

Look at Texas Democrats. Fight like that. We’ll reward you at the polls.

Stand up. Link arms. Draw a line in the sand. Tell the Republicans we won’t put up with this shit. Fight back.
