How Chicago’s MMA gyms, cyclists and pet shelters are uniting to resist ICE Teachers, clergy and MMA students are finding ways to counter immigration authorities’ attempts to detain undocumented neighbors.

State and local governments. I can't overstate how important it is for Dems to contest every state legislative race, in every district, everywhere

You live in Wyoming in an R+25 district? Run a Dem anyway. In an Alabama R+50? Run a Dem. Electing a dog catcher in MS? Run

The Vogon poetry is coming from inside the house.

Sure, I mean how could Trump have work done and not pay them? When has that ever happened?

There were a couple times tonight when @seangrandepbp.bsky.social made the call "rebound by Queta" that my wishful brain heard it as "rebound by Tatum", then realized. *sigh*

I think I speak for most of the bacteria in this BIOFILM when I say that scam "antibiotic insurance" being FADDISH doesn't ABSOLVE the sellers of this RIPOFF service. We're single cell organisms, but that doesn't make us amoral!

Justice Roberts: I know I should keep the Constitution from BLAZING like a monk should be CELIBATE, but when the President looks at you with those PUPPYLIKE eyes, it's hard not to GRATIFY his wish to PURLOIN all the UNWAXED beans that should be going to China. Aww, does Donny want an EMOLUMENT?

Doesn't reveal much new, but it was fun.

(I was hoping to determine the release number of the version of Suspended that I played, but the transcript doesn't show it.)
