The FBI being on high alert for terrorist actions is important right now.

Too bad they fired and gutted their counterterrorism capacity

a few seconds of river bliss to sooth you through the rest of the week.

People do what you pay them to do.
You pay corporate executives to make stock prices go up, not to make better products.
You pay politicians to get re-elected, not to govern well.
You pay reporters to get a bigger audience, not to tell the truth.
And so forth.
Be aware of what you pay people to do

I need to rant about something this morning.
I really am getting irritated by resistance accounts that, while otherwise approaching our problem correctly, keep telling us voting won't matter and the election won't be free and fair. Not only is that not helpful, it's actually harmful...

I’m shocked he’s even aware there is a SOTU. Apparently, he has zero staff to keep him informed of anything.

US farmers are rejecting multimillion-dollar datacenter bids for their land: ‘I’m not for sale’ Families are navigating the tough choice between unimaginable riches and the identity that comes with land

Last month, a Pennsylvania farmer rejected $15M from data center developers to sell his farmland.

Another in Wisconsin turned down $80M.

America's farmers and others across the country are pushing back on Big Tech.

This is what integrity looks like.

Measles was wiped out in the U.S. 25 years ago and now we’re already past 1,000 cases in February because vaccination rates dropped below the safety line. This is what happens when public health gets gutted and people stop trusting basic science.

oops. White nationalism is a helluva drug.

When you have cats, you're never lonely in the bathroom.

Every single day, Trump tells us we should hate each other. Every single day, he publicly calls someone stupid, ugly, incompetent, loser, or worse. He calls for people to lose their jobs, their livelihood. I just want a leader who wants more for us. All of us.

For Trump to say all of this (SOTU) while everyone can see the actual facts in real time should be studied medically.

Lithium Plume in Our Atmosphere Traced Back to Returning SpaceX Rocket Space junk returning to the Earth is introducing metal pollution to the pristine upper atmosphere as it burns up on re-entry, a new study has found.

Hey, so all those rocket launches people love cheering on are probably destroying the upper atmosphere. Repairing the ozone layer in the 90s is one of our all-time great achievements as a global civilization; private rocket men seem intent on reversing that.

The only way to get on the comfort was by doctor referral via an 800 #.

I thought I was done vomiting after I read a Trump post. But PTSD is real.
This will be a 🧵because I have so much to tell.

They say I'm much too mean,
STOP TALKING ABOUT EPSTEIN!"

I’d love for every congressional Republican to answer the question, “What WOULD you impeach a president for?” I suspect the only answer from this deplorable lot would be, “Being a Democrat.”

If you listen it almost sounds like a Dr. Seuss rhyme

I cannot charge a little cent,
I cannot even make a dent.
I cannot ask for one small fee,
I cannot make it about me.
