Ex-X. Hoping for a few laughs, including at authoritarians; dog and nature pics; medical and academic posts; and news from trusted sources, not bots and the Trump Syndicate.

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

Jane Goodall reaches out and touches a small monkey.

Jane Goodall reaches out and touches a small monkey.

Jane Goodall was my first childhood hero, as I loved animals as a kid and was inspired by her story. I still remember the National Geographic specials about her. RIP.

Some good news.

London is meeting legal limits for toxic NO2 pollution for the first time – almost 200 years earlier than predicted – following the Mayor’s "world leading air pollution policies," City Hall announces.

The Ultra Low Emissions Zone - and similar policies - really do work.

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance

However, they are weaker than they look…

Please - stop doing the screenshot no link thing on Bluesky. This platform does not punish you for posting a URL. You picked up the habit from Meta apps? Stop doing Mark Z's bidding. Link ESPECIALLY to authors, reporters, bloggers, etc. where you quote the work.

Dems’ shut-down demands should be as follows:

1) swear in Grijalva now and pass a rule that says all new special election members must be sworn in the next business day after their election win, regardless of party.

2) release the entire unredacted Epstein files.

3) get ALL military troops out

'I want his name to be known': Wife of immigrant injured at ICE facility shooting speaks out Stephany Gauffeny says she wants the world to know that her husband, Miguel Angel Garcia-Hernandez, is more than "just an immigrant or a detainee, or a criminal."

A victim of the shooting at the ICE facility is UNCONSCIOUS, in critical care, may not survive, his wife is about to give birth, and ICE IS KEEPING HIM SHACKLED TO HIS HOSPITAL BED:

I just unlocked a new level of rage.

Don’t drop the Homan bribe story. It could be the Rosetta Stone for figuring out billions of dollars of corrupt dealing for building out the national surveillance & incarceration system.

Too often, we talk about homelessness as if it's natural or inevitable. The truth is that it's a political choice.

When then-Gov. Cuomo cut the Advantage program rather than tax his wealthy donors, his decision sent thousands of New York families into shelters.

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka.

I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws.

Federal agent: β€œWe are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

Can someone explain to me the difference between chasing and arresting people because they have brown skin,

and chasing and arresting people because they have a yellow star on their clothes.

For a closing TL cleanse NJ’s Sandy Hook is pretty flat, but if you walk along the beach enough you’ll come across dunes like these today that are 3-4 feet high, and if you are selective in your framing you can make them look almost legitimate. I hope you have had a great day!
