A stack of thin pink books that say OBSTETRIX * Naomi Kritzer on the spine.

Kash Patel’s use of jet delayed FBI team’s mass shooting response, whistleblower tells top senator Sen. Richard Durbin says FBI director’s “misplaced priorities” led to the delayed response to the Brown University shooting in December.

Breaking MS NOW:

Agents with the FBI's elite evidence response team were delayed in reaching the scene of a mass shooting at Brown U. in December because there was no FBI plane available.

Kash Patel was in south Florida at the time with one of the FBI's two available jets.

I love this so much.

Trump promised his tariffs would revive U.S. manufacturing, but we lost 88,000 manufacturing jobs last year.

Plus U.S. imports continued to grow and the trade deficit in goods hit a record high.

All of the chaos amounted to nothing but higher costs for you.

So much for the "Golden Age."

Screenshot of a social post by President Donald J. Trump that says: 'I only want Americans to Vote in American Elections!'

That’s literally already the law, but I guess manufacturing outrage is easier than governing.

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!"

Social Security - "That's socialism!"

Debt free education - "That's socialism!"

Universal childcare - "That's socialism!"

Billions for ICE, refurbishing Trump's Qatar jet, and tax cuts for the rich...

"That's just how it is."

Once again, the FCC is coming after Colbert. This time they're refusing to allow CBS to air an interview of James Talarico, a Dem Senate candidate from Texas. So we all know what to do, right?

Amazon just saved nearly $8B on its 2025 tax bill — despite profits hitting $90B — thanks to Trump's Big Ugly Bill.

Remember: Amazon spent $75M producing and marketing the Melania movie, while Jeff Bezos gave $1M to Trump's inaugural fund.

Quite a return on investment, huh?

it’s not a proper animation studio tour unless they show you the Crying Room

Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare.

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed.

Getting big money out of politics.

Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages.

If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.

Or... ship's cats.

An unfathomable amount of house cats.

Federal prosecutors in Minnesota were preparing to start a civil rights investigation into Renee Good’s shooting.

Then top administration officials intervened and ordered them to stop, triggering a wave of resignations in the process.

What is the regime trying to hide from us?

Please listen.

The criminality of Israel and the abject shame of US, Britain & other genocide apologists at UNSC.

"So which one is it - are Palestinians lives not worth saving, or does Israel have a license to kill?"

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

I spelled morass wrong, but I can't edit it.

Antje Duvekot is one of our best contemporary songwriters. Someday the culture will understand.

In some ways, I know this speaks to a subset of GenX. 🖤

I have cried
In a place of solace.
I have screamed
In a place of peace.
I have disgorged
In augery to see you,
Only to find you
Here.

#poetry #introspection

I have lost you
Somewhere
In this morras
Of marriage and work,
And home and...
Societal meltdown.
Schoolhouse Rock
And the Bicentennial
Didn't prepare us for this.
But, I love you
And you are literally
Here for this.
Breathe, baby.
You are bigger than this moment.

Spooky? Creepy? Amateur thanotologist? Cemetery enthusiast? Black-wearing Depeche Mode, Peter Murphy, and the Cure fan? The most macabre nerd at the con? Yes. I may not be a "Goth" but I have always been Goth adjacent.
And "white is more Death Rock than black". I have it on good authority.

JESUS! Ryan Seacrest looks like a miraculously preserved corpse in a 1940s roadside attraction. Gurl, lay off the Ozempic! 🍔

I've seen some things.
Fewer than many.
More than most,
If you limit the sample
To American milquetoast.
