Meanwhile in our streets….

on this day in 1941 "photographer Ansel Adams takes a picture of a moonrise over the town of Hernandez, New Mexico that would become one of the most famous images in the history of photography."

Today, Members of Congress got their paycheck unless (as I did) they wrote a letter to the House saying to withhold the pay pending the shutdown.

Meanwhile, Congressional staffers went without pay today.

Every member should answer whether they took the paycheck while their staff got nothing.

We're doing our best to kick her out of Congress.

I know this is a joke but I feel compelled to write that not everyone in a red state is MAGA. Take me for example...

(between images of the Spotify logo that have been crossed out) DON’T STREAM FASCISM Spotify is treating ICE recruitment like just another ad. But when you turn family separation into a marketing pitch, you're not a platform — you're spreading propaganda. • Cancel your Spotify Premium subscription until Spotify removes all ICE ads • Demand Spotify immediately terminate all ICE and DHS advertising contracts. • Urge artists and podcasters to speak out.

Do you use Spotify Premium? Cancel your subscription until Spotify stops running ICE ads. There are other streaming options that don’t profit from exploiting artists while recruiting for ICE: indivisible.org/cancel-spoti... #CancelSpotify

This dip started before this year. I am concerned that Dabo, who counts stubbornness as a virtue, will never fully change the way he ran the program 10 years ago. As the Tigers continue to lose games, I hope that Dabo will do the right thing and resign. I don't believe he will ever be fired.

Happy 48th anniversary to the greatest Halloween special ever:

There's a bonus Easter egg for anyone who calls the number on their screen (after being explicitly warned against it).

Well, I always thought it was cool that you lived in Savannah (I live in that sister city in South Carolina). Good luck and happy life up yonder!

Reagan’s words about tariffs are going viral after Trump’s insistence that they are “fake” created a “Streisand Effect”

…

Why do we all feel empty, angry, and sad?

Oh yes, the good old-fashioned Protestant work ethic that MAGA loves.

4 frame comic. someone is interviewing people on the street with a mic. he asks a man with a red hoodie : sir! what do you think of the recent survey that suggests that less people are now identifying as transgender? was it just a fad? the man replies : the survey you're referring to was about students from 3 specific colleges who did not identify as male or female, which only tells us about non-binary people, nothing about trans women or trans men. if what you got out of this survey is that there are less trans people in the world, it's because you have a deep mis- understanding of transness to begin wthe only thing it tells us is that less non- binary students are willing to out themselves or to enroll into college. transness gets criminalized, publicly shamed and persecuted. trans folks deciding to go back into the closet or flee to safety isn't the win some people seem to think it is. it's heart- breaking, tragic, and a net loss for society.

A net loss

When Trump hears what Ronald Reagan said about immigrants he’s going to have DOJ arrest him for mortgage fraud.

Confederate General Donald "Beauregard" Trump

"All my life, I’ve been a single-issue voter, and that issue has been to find a president with the courage and good taste to rip apart some of the uggo White House and attach a 90,000-square-foot, gold-forward, glass-walled ballroom." @rexhuppke.bsky.social nails it. www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

75 years ago, my friend Ronald McNair was born.

Denied books as a child at his segregated South Carolina library, he later became the second Black American in space. And today, that library bears his name.

Happy Birthday, Ron. Your legacy continues to inspire us.

They have no choice but to love and support Trump because to do otherwise would be an admission that they were wrong. And for MAGA to admit a mistake is worse than murder.

Good way to see what others are thinking about.

Sadly, way too many people choose to hate.

So says a graduate from that cutting-edge university that focuses on critical thinking... Charleston Southern.

Lindsey met with Trump to make sure he meant "Colombia" instead of "Columbia."
