Disturbingly detailed analysis of my first rewatch incoming

I disagree with Congressman Gonzales that 5-year-old American citizen children are helped in any way by their kindergarten classmates being kisbnapped and disappeared by marked, armed thugs.

The hot seat!

Inside TurboTax’s 20-Year Fight to Stop Americans From Filing Their Taxes for Free Using lobbying, the revolving door and “dark pattern” customer tricks, Intuit fended off the government’s attempts to make tax filing free and easy, and created its multi-billion-dollar franchise.

With tax season in full swing, here's our reminder that TurboTax owner Intuit spent two decades fighting to prevent Americans from filing their taxes online for free.

Whoever had the halftime show directly in front of the very loud Carolina drumline is either a genius or completely insane

Prosecutors Began Investigating Renee Good’s Killing. Washington Told Them to Stop.

So, a federal agent killed Renee Good. Top Trump Admin officials mobilized to defame Good and lie about the nature of her death. Then, they immediately obstructed the investigation into Good’s killing.

A killing and a coverup. An outrageous injustice.

Same, David.

Abhorrent Obamas ape memes were RAMPANT in chain forward emails in ‘07-‘13~.

Pretty much anyone who ever voted for W or McCain was close enough to have one sent by a less discerning cousin or coworker and a few million people today are gonna act like it was never their normal. It was tho.

Trump's Schedule F Rule Finalized A bizarro rule formally justifies politicizing public services

New, from me: Trump finalized his Schedule F policy, allowing him to remove job protections from career civil servants.

The new rule is dishonest and unmoored from reality in its effort to formalize the politicization of the federal government 🧵

Extremely spicy take: I'm *GLAD* the Democratic leadership *wasn't* at the National Prayer Breakfast.

The Prayer Breakfast is an event that is organized by "The Family" nee "The Fellowship", a Christian Nationalist group that recruits politicians; it's the equiv. of the Co$ handing out "Dianetics"

The Post is now a right wing penny saver. Easily ignored. Even the least of fish will refuse to be wrapped in it.

I love the Washington Post. I've been a subscriber for many years.

The Post’s coverage has enriched my life and is indispensable to my work as a policymaker.

I think I speak for many when I say it is heartbreaking to watch Jeff Bezos run the Washington Post into the ground.

The Real Story Behind the Midnight Immigration Raid on a Chicago Apartment Building The Trump administration has claimed the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua had taken over the building. But new documents make no mention of the gang and reveal federal agents had information about “ille...

our government used a Blackhawk helicopter in a major American city, detained children and zip-tied U.S. citizens all to target... squatters

Haitians working and living in the United States on Temporary Political Status paid 1.3 BILLION a year in our taxes. Trump has paid 750 dollars. He is a freeloader currently emptying our treasury.

Heads are going to explode 💥

Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third.

All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit.

I took this photo on the Teign Estuary in Devon in spring 2022. I thought I was just taking a photo of an attractive hole in an old tree. It was only when I got home and looked through my camera roll that I saw the leaping dog, who I'd caught perfectly framed, mid-leap, totally by chance. I remembered the dog immediately, because of what an annoying twat it had been.

Tweet I made in 2018 2016: "Come on, you're talking like Trump's going to put people in concentration camps" 2018: "First of all, I think it's offensive that you refer to them as 'concentration camps'"

I got in SO MUCH trouble for this hugely viral tweet back in 2018 (from MAGA types mostly) but I stand by it (and in fact at the time the Auschwitz Museum defended me when people yelled at me that Auschwitz was a “death camp” not a concentration camp). My DENTIST congratulated me for this one

Two cool and modern cows from the big city who thought they could finally have some time alone, at the top of some steps, to talk about the possibility of making their relationship polyamorous, and are annoyed because I have disturbed them.

THREAD. A collection of photographs of excellent cattle I have met on walks.
