So, because we're run by Russian assets, now we have to worry about Iranian sleeper cells.

I don't care how many "M*GAT regret" thinkpieces get published, I am never forgiving the people who voted for this.

We can throw another $500,000,000,000 at the Pentagon this year and spend $1,000,000,000/day on a wholly useless war, but we can't afford to hire doctors and nurses to take care of our veterans? The United States is such an irresponsible, messed up country right now.

Thinking of the people affected by today's surprise tornado in Three Rivers and Union City, MI.

Just a sobering reminder that weather doesn't always care about forecast model boundaries. #miwx #tornado

Cross stitch on black background with the Oregon Trail wagon and cause of death listed as "you listened to RFK"

Cross stitch on black background with the Oregon Trail wagon and cause of death listed as "you listened to RFK"

For the last couple years I've started a cross stitch project shortly before the Iditarod with the goal of finishing it by the finisher's banquet. I am very slow, clunky, and overall bad at cross stitch despite it being "beginner" but this was last year's.

This year's is more colors, so we'll see.

I agree with expanding the court. Term limits make sense to a point but also, if we just held the Justices accountable in the 1st place, like say in the case of blatant and immediate purjury following conf. hearings, that would also solve a lot of issues.

Surgeon general nominee Means questioned about vaccines, birth control and financial conflicts During a confirmation hearing, senators asked Dr. Casey Means about her current positions and her past statements on a range of public health issues.

@klobuchar.senate.gov @smith.senate.gov

I beg, plead, and implore with you NOT to confirm Casey Means, the latest completely unqualified embarrassment of a nominated candidate for an appointed position.

It would almost be better for the position to remain open.

The last 10 yrs have been the Dom. Abuse cycle in a nutshell.

They are awful. Chaotic. Abusive. You find courage to leave.

You find someone so much better. It's a bit boring.

You go back. Maybe it wasn't so bad? Maybe they've changed?

It's worse. They isolate you, then burn your house down.

Can we NOT?

Please?

This whole "race from top to bottom" is going to get so many people killed, most especially when it comes to weather monitoring & infrastructure.

I don't care who your favorite wx person/storm chaser is, they ALL rely on the data and systems provided by NSF, NWS, NOAA.

This is quite possibly the dumbest β€” and most dangerous β€” idea ever. Grok is unreliable and frequently manipulated by Elon based on whatever bender he’s on.

Will this version of Grok be air-gapped from the public version? Will they share knowledge repositories?

What a shitshow.

You won’t find cleaner waters than the Boundary Waters. Think endless streams of water filled with bass, walleye, trout and northern pike – total wilderness, only accessible by canoe.

Why would we let a Chilean mining company pollute these public lands, take our minerals and ship them off to China?

The way right wingers have internalized the fantasy that they are a powerless minority with the deck stacked against them when they control all three branches of government is quite something:

Today is set to be the day the Senate votes on S 140 aka HB 140 aka The BWCA Mining Bill.

I beg @democrats.senate.gov and @gopsen.bsky.social to vote NO on this atrocity.

It doesn't serve MN or America & only opens the door to further enviro destruction all over the country.

This Icey N*zi c*nt has been a standout presence during her time here. She is so awful that people can ID her on sight even when fully dressed up, out of the 1000s of other goons here.

May every ounce of cruelty and terror she has wrought be visited upon her and her descendants 3x over.
