Missing Ingredient Goddess

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

“I’m worried about my community… I’m out here in a frog costume to show how ridiculous the notion that we’re violent terrorists is, and showcase how that narrative is wrong…”

Serious Q: is it too late to give this dude the Nobel Peace Prize? 🐸 🏆

“The room where we decide the Nobel Peace Prize is filled with courage and integrity.”

Integrity over ego. Every time. 🕊️

As a protest optics nerd love about the inflatables is how much they visually disrupt and pull focus from the fascist shock imagery Noem & Miller are trying to create.

So many of these photos now look like the world's silliest dance party, backgrounded by a bunch of guys in uniform looking awkward

screengrab from the ALL ISLAND ECONOMY financial report. "The Projected Public Finances of the Early Years of a United Ireland This report calculates the subvention in public finances likely to transfer to “Northern Ireland’ at the time of a United Ireland, based on the most up-to-date UK figures. It is the first peer-reviewed report to calculate the cost of unity over the first ten years, which takes account not only of the subvention, but necessary investment and gradual economic convergence with the rest of the island. The report breaks down the key financial issues such as pensions, debt, defence spending, UK central costs and taxation to justify this figure and calculates that the cost of the subvention, currently paid by the UK, which will transfer to a United Ireland will be £1.5 billion pa – not the, often quoted, figures of £10b to £14b."

seeing that there is more chat about reunification in Ireland, post brexit, this might interest some.

TL;DR: brexit accidentally gave us a preview of what reunification might mean, economically. And it looks really good!

We're calling it a "Sochar Brexit"!

("brexit benefit" in Irish)

National Security Council at White House? Oh come on, of course you remember.

At 11am I will try to live-blog, for @lawfaremedia.org , the hearing in Abrego Garcia’s civil (habeas corpus) case in federal court in Greenbelt MD. Abrego is seeking release from detention under a SCOTUS precedent called Zadvydas v Davis (2001). ...

And then, the timeline throws you a bone and you get to smile and laugh with the universe.

We both know that's not how it works. Remember covid cures? And that a lot of people do not even have a doctor? Just saying.

Love the story!

From the medical specialty associations and bodies, yes, exactly. First stop for up to date clinical recommendations and practices. And your own MDs of course.
But this doesn't really help Joe Schmoe who is now being bombarded with all this nonsense.

It has really been a special kind of terrible day, hasn't it?
Feel like unplugging myself and plugging in again to see if it all goes back to normal.

Oh don't worry, I'm not doing my own research on important topics. This primitive "sciencing" being put out by heads of government bodies is all so alarming. wth is going on?

The smegma or the autism is the stark new choice.

Wasn't there a link between cervical cancer and uncircumcised males? Can't remember what happened with that.

Now known to be the autism capital of the world.

I wondered if I'd seen it in The Breakfast Club.

Just getting ahead of the announcement tomorrow

omg yes!
This is a bit like when Scalia died and I told my husband Obama should nom Eric Holder or Bill Clinton, blissfully unaware of the shit show about to happen.

Oh I totally get that. I've had SAD too and now I'm just getting older and don't have the same energy. But I don't want to get into habits that can affect my health.
I've been experimenting with stashing easier to produce meals for bad days but my digestion really dislikes many processed foods.🙄

Eating is just too much of a bother. Oh.
These people are an existential threat in so many ways.
