Having to fight Elon Musk at DOGE before we’ve even battled Trump feels like having to defeat the forces of Saruman first at Helm’s Deep.

I decided yesterday morning that I needed a day free of social media, so I missed National Golden Retriever Day. To make up for it, here’s a photo of Chrissy waiting for me to throw a tennis ball for her on this beautiful Tuesday afternoon.

Now back to our regularly scheduled resistance

Imagine saying this about an agency that has helped millions of people around the world avoid malaria, obtain clean water, and gain access to food & health care. Especially when you’re the world’s richest man & your net worth is something like 20 times this agency’s annual budget. What a foul soul.

a troll holding a medal that says dig deep on it Alt: A troll with pink hair yells "dig deep" to encourage the Troll Kingdom to join forces. The troll is holding a medal that says dig deep on it.

🀬 It may look like Trump can censor public health and science. He cannot. We use tracked changes around here ya’ll. And duplicates and archives and repositories. We got reporters on speed dial and besties at all the journals. We’re digging in.

A tweet by Kyle Griffin. The tweet reads: 'Pamela Hemphill, who pleaded guilty for her role in the Capitol riot and was sentenced to 60 days in prison, has refused her Trump pardon: "Accepting a pardon would only insult the Capitol police officers, rule of law and, of course, our nation." "I pleaded guilty because I was guilty, and accepting a pardon also would serve to contribute to their gaslighting and false narrative." bbc.com/news/'.

One of them has seen the light and walked toward it.

Feels good to be a convert and confirmed as an adult Episcopalian too!

If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful towards the powerless, then you have profoundly misunderstood the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Thank You to Canada and Mexico Bless you.

California’s on fire, and while the GOP is busy blaming DEI and concocting conspiracies, Canada and Mexico are busy saving lives.

A word of advice for anyone moving from northern climates to the southern US -ALWAYS hold on to your snow shovel & ice scrapers. You may only need them once every 3-4 years, but you WILL need them.

Facebook suppressed promotion of political content during a Democratic administration and is restoring it for a Republican one

Judge Cannon Blocks Release of Jack Smith’s Report on Trump Documents Investigation Judge Aileen M. Cannon, a Trump appointee who had dismissed the documents case in its entirety, temporarily barred the Justice Department from releasing Jack Smith’s account of his investigation.

Judge Aileen Cannon was appointed by Donald Trump.

It was Judge Cannon who dismissed Trump's classified documents case.

Now she's trying to block Jack Smith from releasing a final report summarizing findings from his investigations into Trump.

See how the MAGA world works?

The billionaires got scared because people online noticed they’re taking over the world.

So in response the billionaires will silence all those people talking about them online so they can more easily take over the world.
