Tomorrow, the President is going to order the national guard to militarize the nation's capital (despite crime being at a 30 year low) after sending Congress home to prevent them from investigating evidence he committed sex crimes against children.

The Congressional GOP is unified behind him.

Distinct movements at the river

We've become so accustomed to lawbreaking that this probably won't ripple much, but it is important not to forget that firing the IRS Commissioner for refusing to break the law--if that's in fact what happened here--would and should prompt immediate articles of impeachment in any other presidency.

Hello journalists. If you report this you gotta say that under the Constitution he has no power to do it. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Yep, that's the one! Where did you get the rear guards from?

fucking hell

Woah, I just ordered that exact same one. Let's gooo!

we’ve made it clear that anyone who visits the US could be disappeared into a Salvadoran prison but I’m sure it’s the kids and their avocado toasts who’re to blame

Anything and everything being thrown at the wall to distract from the fact that our president is a child trafficker.

This is the way

I grew up on a dairy farm and drank milk straight until we sold out in ‘96, but Dad kept hygiene on lockdown. Would never take any straight milk from anyone else.

Amazing

They look swell. Thanks!

What do you know of Benno bikes? I hadn't heard much about them, but I like the frame style of the ones on Upway.

Sweet, that's what I figure. Have been waiting until we move back to Madison, Wis., to make the jump!

Nice, thanks for that. I also assume she'll age out of it pretty quick (plus we got a nice bike for her recently), but will check out the HSD - looks like not a lot available at the moment!

I want to get rid of my 2nd car.
I want a cargo bike.

I desire a Tern GSD, but I know some of you all have more experience and strong opinions. Tell me what to do.

I'd like to second that motion.

What Kids Told Us About How to Get Them Off Their Phones Children who were raised on screens need more freedom out in the real world.

Really interesting survey!

ooh, where are we here?

popular anti-fascism as taxpayer revolt...might have some legs

I do still wish that Warren had been the nominee back in '20. Granted, maybe we weren't ready for that, but she's just a person I want to be friends with.

I just don't know if people like this have ever actually entered a library or understand how most kids would devour books if parents regularly took them to libraries or read to them.

I'd be curious if he's a 'hand the kid an iPad just to shut them up' type...

Adopt A Station - Rescue Public Media Help preserve independent journalism and community programming across America by adopting a public media station. Congress has voted to rescind public media's funding.

The problem is far bigger than Jeffrey Epstein | Rebecca Solnit Treating the scandal as an aberration misunderstands the global epidemic of violence against women

"One of the reasons the epidemic of violence against women is so unacknowledged is because cases like these are talked about individually, and often treated as though they are shocking aberrations rather than part of a pervasive pattern that operates at all levels of society."
