I forget, is Cracker Barrel in that "first they came for" poem?

Trump announces trade deal with Japan The two countries had been at an impasse on trade talks for months.

There is likely no trade deal with Japan. There's no agreement to review. No text. Even in this article, the author notes that Japan hasn't even confirmed the existence of an agreement.

So why report that there's a trade deal if we know Trump lies and there's no agreement?

100 percent agreed on him and this. Walz did this during riots after George Floyd's murder. Was helpful as hell to us personally.

Excellent framing of this statement which was a response to constituent who asked why Senator Ernst was supporting Medicaid cuts that will kill people. Thank you @lincolnproject.us

Super groovy! You might have said this is another post, so apologies if I'm asking for repeat information, but when someone scans the QR code on the poster to learn more, where does that link to?

This is awesome and worth listening to. I remember asking my dad questions like this as a child and he would give detailed, complex answers, often using a slide ruler or protractor and my eyes would glaze over. Even so, I always appreciated he didn't underestimate my brain. :) Norm.

Polling debunks Musk excuse that his unpopularity, collapse of Tesla, is because of paid protesters
YouTube video by MSNBC Polling debunks Musk excuse that his unpopularity, collapse of Tesla, is because of paid protesters

I like where she says - "This negative news - it's not affecting other car companies..." satisfying viewing.

The image shows two distant interacting galaxies, collectively called Arp 142, resembling a penguin guarding an egg. 
The "penguin" galaxy, NGC 2936, has a distorted spiral shape with bluish filaments of newly-formed hot stars and red filaments of gas and dust. The "egg" galaxy, NGC 2937, appears nearly featureless with a greenish glow from older stars and no red dust features. A blue streak of an unrelated background galaxy is visible at the top. The galaxies are set against a dark cosmic background.

The image combines data from NASA's Spitzer (infrared light) and Hubble (visible light) telescopes.

What does the witch know? She knows the power of green communion, the wisdom of the wild mysteries. Knows all magic is based on relationships and there's no good relationship without respect โ€“ that's why she always asks permission before filling her garnering bag. #EmilyCBanting, 1982 #WitchSky

A massive spiral galaxy fills the image, with its bright yellow core seen near the upper left. Spiral arms whirl outward, laced through with dark brown dust and bright blue patches of star formation.

A massive spiral galaxy fills the image, with its bright yellow core seen near the upper left. Spiral arms whirl outward, laced through with dark brown dust and bright blue patches of star formation.

Angled from the upper left corner to the lower right corner is a cone-shaped orange-red cloud known as Herbig-Haro 49/50. This feature takes up about three-fourths of the length of this angle. The upper left end of this feature has a translucent, rounded end. The conical feature widens slightly from the rounded end at the upper right down to the lower right. Along the cone there are additional rounded edges, like edges of a wave, and intricate foamy-like details, as well as a clearer view of the black background of space. In the upper left, overlapping with the rounded end of Herbig-Haro 49/50, is a background spiral galaxy with a concentrated blue center that fades outward to blend with red spiral arms. The background of space is speckled with some white stars and smaller, more numerous, fainter white galaxies throughout.

A densely packed cluster of yellow stars shines at the center of the image, with more stars scattered throughout. Clouds of glowing indigo gas and dust dominate the lower half of the view, and a red star with diffraction spikes shines at upper right.

A nebula made up of cloudy gas and dust in the form of soft and wispy clouds and, in the center, thin and highly detailed layers pressed close together. Large, bright stars surrounded by six long points of light are dotted over the image, as well as some small, point-like stars embedded in the clouds. The clouds are lit up in blue close to the stars; orange colors show clouds that glow in infrared light.

AOC: Itโ€™s bone-chilling. Every day, thereโ€™s something new. And today, we saw Trump express openness to sending U.S. citizens to foreign prisons without due process. Itโ€™s anti-American.

When I wrote this back in January, I hoped it would make a few people smile. Now it's come full circle and made *me* smile, because @meganseling.bsky.social at @thestranger.com over in Seattle decided it would make a good cartoon, and got Greg Stump to draw one. ๐Ÿ˜ www.thestranger.com/climate-issu...

Just called and left a message, I love that it is Sen. Booker's voice on the outgoing message. And I love that he is standing up for democracy - all of the Dems take note: we need so much more of this!!
