I see we're having a debate about whether it's okay to go back to "X," the site owned by a trillionaire fascist who is currently bankrolling the GOP's midterm, throttled Ukraine's war effort, and still winkingly allows vast amounts of CSAM on his service
Answer: No, what the fuck is wrong with you
It would be nice if the Bills could get the lead, keep the lead, and control the clock while protecting key players from harm. Is this too much to ask? #JustOnceInMyLifetime
What does a sniper position at Memorial Circle actually defend against?
Not China. Not a submarine. Not a missile.
It overlooks a bridge, a traffic circle, and the front door of the National Mall.
Those are places where Americans march.

The guy who made a bunch of "on Day 1" promises while campaigning is still claiming "it's Biden's fault" on Day 587 👇
This is a great list refuting Trump's lies.

Star Trek launched 60 years ago. I grew up watching reruns of the original series, reading books, studying science and loving most of the movies and sequels. That was the world I was working towards. I am never gonna forgive MAGA for delaying that future.
Any sweeping systemic change you want to make in the United States has to begin with adding seats to the Supreme Court in 2029. No major reform bill will survive the current court. No civil rights law, no anti-corruption law, no wealth tax, nothing.
Powell’s Books — an iconic landmark in Portland, Oregon, celebrated as the world's largest independent new and used bookstore with a wide-ranging LGBTQ section.
If you wanted to fly Donald Trump out on a different plane without advanced warning to protect him, that would be one thing. But to put others on what you believed to be a targeted plane served only one purpose:
To propagate and maintain a lie to assuage a single man’s ego.
The Pentagon is withholding causality and hit numbers.
The CDC is withholding infection rates.
The FDA is withholding information about food contamination.
The EPA is withholding pollution and climate data.
This corrupt administration is ALL about concealing the consequences of its incompetence.
Marco Foster:
Erin Brockovich on data centers: “You’re pushing people too far at this point. You’re taking their water. Their air is jeopardized. Their land is jeopardized. Their sanctuary is jeopardized. Their wildlife is jeopardized. The trees, the rivers, the creeks, the birds, all of it”
Me: 👆
The average American family - meaning the median family - is poorer than average families in nearly every other developed nation in the world.
Read that sentence again.
We appear wealthy only because the very rich have so much, but most European families own twice as much as median US family.
THE ODYSSEY's instantly, predictably enormous success is Exhibit #32176 that the right wing's grievance-farming operation is not some great American cultural shift. Most people don't give a shit about their petty crusades.
Me: "It's time to start eating healthy."
Lettuce: "I'm going to give you explosive diarrhea!"
Chips and cookies in my pantry: "I would never do that to you."
Murray: Is it true that people making under $184,000 pay a 12.4% Social Security tax rate?
Dahl: Yes.
Murray: And what is the rate for someone making $1,000,000?
Dahl: 2.2%.
We cannot accept the reckless use of deadly force by federal agents as normal.
There is a pattern of this administration misleading the public and withholding key facts after these killings.
Reading ”The End of the World As We Know It” which is a collection of stories inspired by “The Stand” and I’m thinking I really need King to write a happy ending story. He seems to predict things.
When you realize that one of your fav authors (@gailcarriger.bsky.social) really does think like you. I've felt this for years.
Paraphrasing from the latest chirrup "a country music song or a turn of the century Russian novel have far more in common than you might think."
The Sabres made me sad last night. I’m happy for the playoffs but it’s disappointing that we can’t get deeper. We could win the next two games and advance but I don’t see how this team can get thru more rounds. I hope they prove me wrong!
When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero.
And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing.
Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.
NSF LTER program “archived”.
LTER=“Long Term Ecological Research”.
This program has been incredibly successful, incredibly frugal for what they accomplish, and…of course…targeted by evil know-nothings.
My heart is breaking.
White male privilege is Geno getting to disrepect a Black woman peer on national television as his team lost and have sports media run cover for him. #Misogynoir is Dawn getting critiqued for defending herself and her team from said abuse, all while knowing she could never behave the same way.
