Why did she concede so early? A recount would have uncovered this.

Reasons Trump wants war w/ Venezuela:

• To steal oil – pure financial greed
• To steal land
• To kill/to feed his sadism
• To emulate Putin's totalitarianism and his invasion of Ukraine
• To distract from and prevent full release of the Epstein files
• In an attempt to justify martial law in the US

They do the same in oregon to sea lions, even though the fault lies with California seafood processors who have destroyed the food chain (smaller fish like herring and menhaden) that the sea lions rely on for food. So they swim north to eat salmon, which makes MAGA fishermen go apoplectic.

Interesting thought, what would happen if everyone started wearing masks again? If the police and ICE can do it, why can't everyone else? Sure would mess up facial recognition and probably a lot fewer people would get sick as well.

And Aileen Cannon…

Why AP is standing for your right to speak freely The executive editor of The Associated Press says the news organization is fighting for the right of the press and public to speak freely without being targeted by the government.

AP is back in court today to defend itself and the right to speak freely without government retaliation.

I rarely shop corporate anymore. So many mom and pop stores offering similar or even better products. I don't mind that they are slightly more expensive. That's the price of fighting for democracy.

All the news you did not know you could use (and nearly slipped through the cracks):

Oh hell they believe anything Piggy says and they’re proud of it. Go dip your toe in X for 5 minutes and you’ll get exactly what I mean.

I’ve got “euthanasiable” drugs set aside for just this reason. (Btw, LOL, I got middle kid syndrome too, middle of 15).

IN this regime.

Even white grads are now finding out the cost of MAGA electing Trump/Vought/Musk/Thiel.

Listen, forget the BEST schools. Look for schools offering an excellent education. Prestige is a reckless financial strain. My kid graduated Berkley School in 2024 $130k in debt. He now gets garnishment letters from Trump regime, which they will scrape from his $20 an hour “professional” job.

And every day another chink in our collective emotional armor. Imagine being 18 and facing this horrendous new world.

How can any of us trust anything coming out of the Trump Regime? Trump is turning drug reviews into make-a-deal pogroms. His new voucher program is creating procedurally reckless sprints to market for companies that curry favor with him or one of HIS health agencies.

Holy shit! This is what I'm talkin' about. David Clayton is running for congress in North Carolina's District 5 against MAGA Republican Virginia Foxx — and this is how he introduced himself. 🙌💪👏✊️👇

That’s huge. My nursing prof bf who taught at UA in Tucson, was murdered in her classroom by a gulf war vet who suffered from gulf war toxin exposure. I am glad to see this research is still happening, but I worry that it will get shipped overseas.

OK. Didn’t know that…

The Land Will Heal — If We Give it a Chance On the hope of restoration and the threats even "protected" lands face

It’s important to look at possibilities as hard as we look at losses. If we don’t the resigned win.

But this top isn’t? Listen, deepfakes are a horror but this country still covers for real rich people raping teenagers. Become a celebrity, walk around in sexualizing dress with security other women don’t have and complain about perceptions? Nah. No Pity for hypocrites @rollingstone.com

BEEP, FREEZE, GET OUT: Border Patrol Agents Arrest U.S. Women at Gunpoint for Honking Warning Horn On an otherwise quiet street in Charlotte, North Carolina, a sound as ordinary as a car horn triggered a scene that looked more like a cartel raid than routine American law enforcement. Within minu…
