Books, yarn, and cats are all enjoyable topics. Christian Nationalism is the trainwreck I can't look away from. I'll be posting about it and related politics. Even though books, cats, and yarn are better.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful β€” I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Why the fuuuuck are we arguing about getting to torture kids? Children's rights=\=parents rights. Children deserve safety in their own bodies.

Welcome to the capitalist innovation museum we got

- scam machine
- psychosis inducing machine
- weapons of mass destruction
- button you push that makes the planet hotter
- markets that intentionally starve people
- clothes that fall apart after washing them 1 time
- medicine you can’t afford

I see a lot of posts calling Mike Johnson cowardly, a toady to trump, no backbone... Friends, I gotta tell you that's wrong. His baldface lying comes from his absolute dedication and glee in the position of power he wormed into. He's living his best life y'all.

Said it elsewhere and I'll say it again. Texans freaked the fuck out about 'Operation Jade Helm' when Pres Obama. The freakout wasn't at all hypothetical, even if the invasion was.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

I remember, through a haze like a dream from years ago, Operation Jade Helm. Texas's freakout is not hypothetical.

Pam Bondi admits she spoke to Apple to "get the ICEBlock app taken down." Sounds an awful lot like coercion to suppress disfavored speech to me. A clear violation of the 1st Amendment.

These Activists Want to Dismantle Public Schools. Now They Run the Education Department. Under Trump, the Department of Education has been bringing in activists hostile to public schools. It could mean a new era of private and religious schools boosted by tax dollars β€” and the end of publ...

Education Secretary Linda McMahon says she's leading the department's "final mission" to shut down. But @megomatz.bsky.social and I found it's more than that: Political appointees from ultraconservative groups are in power at ED now, and they hope to dismantle public schools.

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

If *I* pointed the weapon in the picture at a cop and the cop shot and killed me, the cop would get off EVERY SINGLE TIME.
If I kill the cop, I'd get convicted EVERY SINGLE TIME.
This asymmetry IS THE PROBLEM.

Feel free to attribute the following to a former OMB General Counsel: The supposed "new legal analysis" is, to use a technical legal term, horseshit. What the law actually says is that when Congress enacts a law ending a lapse, furloughed employees get paid at the earliest date possible. Period.

Texas proudly invading Illinois.

It’s hard to describe the level of potential constitutional crisis here.

Beachfront home of South Carolina judge, ex-senator burned to ground, injuring 3 Ex-senator Arnold Goodstein, along with two additional people, were rescued by several neighbors and paramedics from a marshy, remote area behind the home after jumping from the fist floor.

No indication yet from major media that the FBI has any interest whatsoever in investigating this apparent attempted assassination of a well-known judge openly targeted on social media by the far-right activistβ€”Harmeet Dhillonβ€”currently calling herself Assistant Attorney General of the United States

Pretty clear Stephen Miller, Noem, Hegseth and Trump are trying to provoke a Civil War at this point. What's interesting is they want to do it now, because even though they're unpopular, they seem to believe this is the most popular they'll be ever again. We can't let them win.

The Texas man i knew who abused little kids also worked at a church, first in youth leadership, later in ECE. Predators hunt the flock, after all.

It's increasingly clear that the president lives in a constructed bubble of unreality designed by aides who are manipulating him in order to take control of US policy. Seems like an important story - wish media would cover it.

β€˜Dangerous and un-American’: Politicians deride Trump administration over leaked messages on deploying Army to Portland Several Democrats in Minnesota and Oregon criticized the administration this weekend, responding to an exclusive report by the Minnesota Star Tribune.

β€œThese leaked messages make it blatantly clear that the decision to send troops to Portland is based on political optics, not safety,” said U.S. Rep. Suzanne Bonamici, D-Ore.
