Dusk in the wilderness is a reminder why protection matters and where equating and defining success numerically is a form of self-deception.

The Endangered Species Act lets us measure our virtue even as the world empties around us. Tomorrow I’m sharing an excerpt from a new article that pulls at the threads we don’t like to see.

AOC on MTG retiring: "She's carefully timing her departure just 1-2 days after her pension kicks in and after making millions of dollars insider trading stocks for weapons manufacturers and others while in office. She is saying a lot but her ACTIONS have not backed up the rhetoric. For all her talk, she's STILL voting with them to gut healthcare and advance self-dealing corruption schemes."

Who remembers those early Palantir trades

Many of us learned long ago that there is no "Legal Philosophy" in the Federalist Society. It is a club that gives members a leg up in the competition for certain judicial clerkships and jobs in the Trump administration. That is it. Period.

How does the NY Times not know this?

Trump's Ukraine proposal is equal to Hitler telling England to give him Europe & he'll end WW2

Or-Japan saying they'll end the war if we give them Hawaii

Support Ukraine, they are fighting our enemy-they are fighting for right & justice-they fight for the entire free world!

How stupid can we be?

La Cage aux Folles (1978) ⭐ 7.2 | Comedy 1h 37m | R

I still prefer the original French version, La Cage aux Folles with Ugo Tognazzi.

Those in the media need to speak out against the rapist pig pretending to be president.

"After an argument ensued, the ICE agents confirmed they had misidentified their target and left the scene."

Me: 🤬

Correct me if I'm wrong:
So yesterday, Trump told Ukraine to sign a "peace proposal" by Thanksgiving.
Then today, Rubio said it was a Russian proposal, not written by the admin.

What the actual fuck?

I just contacted my 3 federal reps asking them to do all they can to stop Trump's betrayal of Ukraine with his new phony peace plan. It weakens Ukraine and our NATO relationships, while giving Russia everything it wants!

True.

BREAKING: AOC on MTG retiring:

"She's carefully timing her departure just 1-2 days after her pension kicks in and after making millions of dollars insider trading stocks for weapons manufacturers and others while in office."

I don't think they care anymore. Increasingly, news agencies are reporting that federal agents are detaining citizens with proper ID, saying they are forgeries...

What is it with the Trump entourage and meeting secretly with Russians?…Did they not learn from last time around that this shit goes south quickly? 😬 (btw-the “Trump didn’t know” argument just a little stale now). His administration. He owns it. www.reuters.com/world/europe...

The Repayment Assistance Plan removed many professions from the designation of professional when reviewing lending caps.
Nursing, PA, PT, & audiology are excluded from the updated list. Others not considered professional include architecture, accounting, & mental health.
Still included? Theology.

PM Orbán backs the US peace plan, urging the EU to adopt it and start direct talks with Russia. The plan, which rewards Russian aggression, demands Ukraine give up land, halve its military, and share 50% of reconstruction profits with the US. Orbán also opposes any further EU financial Ukrainian aid

There .. rewrote the headline to reflect the truth

If democracies now are rewarding the aggressors then we all stand for nothing - and can expect nothing from our "enemies" if that threat comes

Wow! Thanks for sharing.

I believe the term is 'crocodile tears'.

FOIAs to USDA and FNS for External Communications with Retailers and Special Interest Groups on SNAP Retailer Notice Records requests to the U.S Department of Agriculture and the Food and Nutrition Service seeking external communications on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program retailer notice, including…

During the government shutdown, SNAP’s website warned food retailers against offering discounts to people paying with SNAP benefits.

So we filed FOIA requests for info about how the Trump administration handled these vital food benefits.

Here’s a thought: after this is all over, every corporation that backed fascism gets fascism fines as a percentage from their corporate earnings.

Professor Noah Feldman was my classmate twice over. He is one of the more brilliant minds I have ever encountered. I love how he lays it plain here.

For Decades, Kids Drew Men When Asked to Picture a Scientist. Not Anymore. After half a century of bias in a crayon, children are tinally drawing women in lab coats proof that representation isn't just symbolic, it rewires imagination.
