Laughing at your interview with Piers Morgan this morning, because four white people sitting around talking is definitely not a serious discussion about racism, er, "the death of woke." Bring back @symonedsanders.bsky.social and clean up this mess already.

Listen I hate all these chuds too but this story is over the top, in no way shape or form did that glassbowl *demand* people kiss the ground, she just said: They should be so grateful they (oughta) kiss the ground. COME ON.

Eugene! CAN YOU PLEASE SHOW YOUR MANICURE? On your premiere episode me & my mom pressed our faces against the tv to see your nails but you moved your hands too fast? It looked like a geometric design in silver. Your nails are **always** exquisite, Jonathan's are nice too. #TheWeekend

Is this a joke? Bernie is himself not a Democrat. Are you ok?

@maddow.msnbc.com listening just now I heard you mention something about "a small handful of protesters" and maybe you were talking about something else? But as many as THREE MILLION PEOPLE marched April 5. I see none of that in any headlines--it's almost like a media blackout.

How Elon Musk’s DOGE Cuts Leave a Vacuum That China Can Fill The Department of Government Efficiency is shuttering organizations that Beijing worried about most, or actively sought to subvert.

"... there has been no published study of the costs and benefits of losing those capabilities — and no discussion of how the roles, arguably as important as a manned fighter, might be replaced." www.nytimes.com/2025/03/22/u...

A screenshot from a court filing reads, in part: "Julio Noriega is 54 years old, was born in Chicago, and is a U.S. citizen. On January 31, 2025, he was walking near the corner of Cermak Road and Harlem Avenue in Berwyn, Illinois, handing out his resume to local businesses. As he walked out of a Jiffy Lube, he was approached by ICE officers who grabbed and handcuffed him and put him into a van, without an opportunity to explain his citizenship. The officers drove Julio and others around for more than an hour before bringing him to an ICE processing center, where he remained, still handcuffed, for several more hours. All the while, Julio had a wallet containing identification that ICE had confiscated. The officers never showed Julio a warrant, and they did not ask him any questions to ascertain whether he was a noncitizen or a flight risk. After about 10 hours, ICE officers reviewed the contents of Julio’s wallet, realized he was a U.S. citizen, and released him with no money and no paperwork."

A US-born citizen was walking near Chicago in January. ICE snatched him off the street, handcuffed him, threw into a van. His wallet, which contained his ID, was confiscated. He was detained for 10 hours before being released without a record of what occurred.

Orange Alert: What Caused the Colors on This Snowy Owl? (Gift Article) Bird watchers along Lake Huron photographed the bird, which has been nicknamed Rusty and Creamsicle. But there is no consensus about what caused its unusual tint.

'“In over 35 years of study, we've found over 300 nests and banded over 800 chicks,” Denver Holt, director of the Owl Research Institute in Charlo, Mont., said. “We have never seen any plumage aberration, or anything like what is in the photos of the owl.”'

SPICEY'S BACK!

youngish men

I just interviewed an epidemiologist for Pacifica Radio and she pointed out that Medicare has a different name in many states and without question there are people who receive it without knowing that's how their care is funded.

@joyannreid.bsky.social You alone drew me to stupid @msnbc.com & and kept me there, a true progressive voice -- @maddow.msnbc.com @ayman.msnbc.com @arimelber.bsky.social @chrishayesuk.bsky.social I assume none of you will do anything to stop this because everyone just rolls over now BOOOOOOOOO!!!

Forget about pity, I think it's fascinating that this crew has to threaten itself to keep in line. That's worth knowing.

The Claims Adjuster story -- I've been laffing and crying in turns. If Congress or somebody somewhere had taken even so much as one step in reining in the insane corruption of for-profit healthcare we wouldn't be here. I think we just crossed the Rubicon. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/06/o...
