Judge REYES on a tear, telling DOJ she won't be "gaslit" by effort to say their ban on transgender people in the military isn't actually a "ban."

She notes SecDef Hegseth literally called it a ban on X.

"You're saying one thing in public. You're saying a different thing in court," Reyes said.

And that’s on that 😌

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: I am here today to urge Canadians to avoid travel to the United States if at all possible and to call on our government to stand up for our citizens who are being denied their rights through arbitrary detention in the United States.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.

If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

A mostly blank page with the words Strong and Free, from the English version of the Canadian national anthem ) Below the fold of this newspaper sheet , in smaller type, news and editorial references to the trade war

This is the first page of this morning’s edition of the Globe and Mail (arguably the English Canadian paper of record)
I don’t remember seeing anything like this before

⚪️ Evangelicals mad because Kendrick showed how easy it is to call out predators on stage but they won’t do it.

JUST IN: USDA Confirms Detection of Bird Flu Genotype D1.1 in Nevada Dairy Cows.

This marks the first detection of this virus genotype in dairy cattle.

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

I love that a white guy was flying the plane, a white guy was flying the helicopter, and a white guy gutted the FAA last week but somehow the blame is too much diversity.

Albertsons (Safeway...)

"commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging as well as thoughtful people practices are core elements of the company’s philosophy"

"We believe that diverse perspectives strengthen and enrich our stores, our company and our society."

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Trump: Today I'm also signing an executive order to instruct the departments of defense and homeland security to begin preparing the 30,000 person migrant facility at Guantanamo Bay

Watch Shrinking - Apple TV+ Jimmy is struggling to grieve the loss of his wife while being a dad, friend, and therapist. He decides to try a new approach with everyone in his pat…

I know I’m late to the game, but if you haven’t watched “Shrinking” yet, take this as a sign to go watch it. Yes, Apple sucks, but this show is so good, it’s worth getting the 7 day trial and canceling it on day 6. I watched both seasons in 2 days!

It’s the soothing balm we all need right now. 🤗

Decades of confirmation hearings where women testify to abuse and sexual violence, only for the men in question to rise to higher positions of power, is a perfect encapsulation of why more victims don’t come forward.

Hi, I’m God.

You all died in 2016.

And yes, this is Hell.

What exactly is this accountability that he is seeking?

The hieroglyphics of patrons will never not be funny. (Such a good kid though)

There is no such thing as “masculine energy.” It’s imprecise because it’s a euphemism. He is saying there are too many women in the workforce.

It always comes down to the greed of corporations.

These fucking idiots need to go. This is beyond embarrassing.

You can report price gouging landlords from anywhere!
