I had to read the story twice to make sure.

Yeah, I definitely thought the story was going to be about a woman who was found dead in the wilderness two months after her sister drowned. Also, would have been good to know how old they were.

I just heard "Do You Think of Us" by Olive Klug and immediately replayed it six times (so far) and now I'm absolutely destroyed. youtu.be/B_h7k8zShe8

Lindsey Graham gets called-out. A glorious moment. More of this, please.

"Are you trying to re-write history to distract from the Epstein matter, Senator?"

Sharks gotta swim, and bats gotta fly…
And we gotta say goodbye to Tom Lehrer. Sleepovers at my best friend’s house, sitting on the floor with a litter of kittens, listing to her mom’s Tom Lehrer albums, we knew every line by heart. Thank you, @operajen.bsky.social! May his memory be for a blessing.

Damn right she is!

JOINT STATEMENT ON GAZA FROM AFP, AP, BBC NEWS AND REUTERS “We are desperately concerned for our journalists in Gaza, who are increasingly unable to feed themselves and their families. For many months, these independent journalists have been the world’s eyes and ears on the ground in Gaza. They are now facing the same dire circumstances as those they are covering. “Journalists endure many deprivations and hardships in warzones. We are deeply alarmed that the threat of starvation is now one of them. “We once again urge the Israeli authorities to allow journalists in and out of Gaza. It is essential that adequate food supplies reach the people there.”

Tickled to hear Árstíðir(“Things You Said”) playing in my local coffee bar in Eugene, Oregon. Never heard them in the wild before. Which reminds me that I heard a Kings of Convenience song (“Rule My World”) on my local NPR station during a show promo. Yay for little indie Scandinavian bands.

my modest disagreement is that i think it is important to signal virtue even if, privately, you are a piece of shit. performing decency is an important part of maintaining the norm that decency is part of a well ordered society.

Exclusive: Hundreds at Alligator Alcatraz have no criminal charges, Miami Herald learns Descriptions of the Everglades detention center as a place for violent criminals tell only part of the story.

250 people detained in the Florida Everglades have no criminal convictions or pending charges.

That right there is ESPN doing the whole country a public service.

So there you have it: Your citizenship won’t protect you.

This is what happens when the rule of law is replaced by the rule of man. Justice becomes arbitrary, and rights become privileges granted or taken away at someone else's whim.

Welp, on the up-side, televangelist Jimmy Swaggart died, so at least there's that.

BREAKING: DOJ will oppose a request for class certification — to create a class-action lawsuit — in the Maryland CASA case challenging Trump’s executive order to end birthright citizenship after the Supreme Court ended universal injunctions and said class actions remain available for broad relief.

Big —> Senate parliamentarian has ruled that this provision CAN STAY in the bill as it complies with reconciliation rules.

It’s time for you to name names! What are you afraid of? That they’ll give you the cold shoulder? That it’s not collegial? Those days are long gone.

Dang, you beat me to it.

The same Trump judge that gutted protections for mifepristone has now gutted privacy protections for women that receive reproductive care. This ruling effectively green lights a witch hunt by red states to target women that get care.

Three years post-Dobbs: How to chart a new course for reproductive rights Jessica Mackler, the president of EMILYs List, says we are in a "full-blown" crisis. She lays out what’s at stake for women and what can be done to fight back.

“No form of reproductive healthcare in this country is safe.”

Three years post-Dobbs, the war on women’s bodies is only escalating. This is what you need to know — and what you can do.

Is that a rhetorical question?

Our very own Baghdad Bob.

I remember hearing a lecture from someone who taught at the National War College. He said when you engage militarily, that’s when you lose control of the situation.

Anyone wanna come with me to get some iodine tablets?

Who here has ignored everything Van Jones has said since the night of Trump’s first SOTU address? Can I get a show of hands? 🙋‍♀️

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.

No one has heard from you in 97 days.

As vigil, I’m posting a photo (or video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.
