Good read. Brave to go to an ICE recruiting event. www.nplusonemag.com/online-only/...

REPORTER: A simple question -- 'by the end of the week,' does that by Friday, by Saturday, or by Sunday? TAMMY BRUCE: I think generally it could be the collection of the days at the end of the week. I'm not going to specify ... to clarify a bit more, i would say probably the end of the week

Here’s the bottom line for what’s going on with Grok - if the owner of the website is putting his thumb on the scale hard enough for the chatbot to turn into Goebbels, you should be deeply concerned about what he’s doing to the algorithm that you can’t so easily see, and what it’s doing to you

At a doctor’s office — with no warrants, masked, no ID 😳 What are we doing? 🇺🇸

You know who needs to prove he matters? #Oz

The only good ice is crushed ice.

Tea people are so unhinged and this is why I love them so much.

This is what courage looks like. Kudos to the team at 60 Minutes.

State organizations that advocate for disabled residents in New Jersey and Arkansas announced that they will have to limit their work after not receiving the full funds they are owed by the US federal government.

HANDS OFF Judge Hannah Dugan

It kills me that Kindle Unlimited is a thing. & that people actually pay Bezos for it. Kindle Unlimited is literally just your local library. Except librarians choose materials based on intentional strategies to serve communities, not making choices to support the next phallic rocket 4 an asshole

Al gore is pissed off and I’m here for it

"You will never know, how much it cost the present Generation, to preserve your Freedom! I hope you will make a good Use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in Heaven, that I ever took half the Pains to preserve it." - John Adams He is repenting so hard right now.

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

I don't fucking care if he's a member of MS-13. I doubt it, but I also don't fucking care if he is. A. Membership alone is not the same as a crime. B. If he has committed a crime, ok, let's follow due fucking process. C. If lawfully convicted and fairly sentenced to incarceration, DO IT HERE.

Barnes & Noble in Georgetown with a stark “Bohemian Rhapsody”-referencing book display this weekend.

I wish more jurisdictions would eliminate law enforcement agencies. They cost shocking amounts of money for little value in many communities. And in fact can do more harm than good. Any homes for sale in Purcellville? www.dcnewsnow.com/video/town-v...

Wisconsin is doing a way better job of protecting their students than Florida. www.wpr.org/news/wiscons...

“It can hardly be argued that either students or teachers shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate.” SCOTUS ruling on free speech in schools. Tinker v Des Moines 1969.

DOJ sent armed US Marshals to a former DOJ attorney to intimidate her into not exercising her first amendment and whistleblower rights. She had declined to restore Mel Gibson's gun rights after his DV conviction. Her teenager was home alone at the time. Terrifying intimidation. Oyer is a hero.

My dog reading the news and watching the fall of democracy over my shoulder while I doom scroll. You can tell by the look in his eyes he'd send POTUS and SCOTUS straight to hell if he could. Or El Salvador.

Dogs against DOGE

Huge fan of ranked choice voting. I truly believe it can help save democracy.

Scroll cleanse.

Both hilarious and disturbing. Also, #eggsky was not the insomnia rabbit hole I was looking for, but it is the one I found.

Whoa

So w/ the bird flu crisis, slaughter of FDA and CDC, and the stunning cost of eggs right now- Sadist in Chief still demands egg farmers DONATE 30,000 real eggs for the WH Easter egg roll. They can't be consumed after - trash. When they could nourish the bellies of food insecure children instead.

I hadn't thought of it this way. I appreciate the helpful frame.

Just because. A nice spiderweb in the rain.

This. It's driving me crazy that so many seem oblivious to this. I hope we can learn a strong skepticism automatic response any time there's negative energy on the left. Especially when it pits us against one another. We need to work harder to interrogate why we believe what we believe (or feel).

I hope Strom Thurmond is rolling in his grave like a rotisserie chicken being cooked by a power drill. I'm proud to live in a world that defeated Thurmond and raised Cory Booker. Let's have more of that, please. Pass the salt.

This has been absolutely incredible to watch. I hope Cory Booker's energy and passion will fuel the rest of us even a little bit as much as it fuels him.

"Make Dystopia Fiction Again" is the rallying cry/t-shirt I didn't know I needed.

I wish I had thought to stream Cory Booker on every single device to boost his numbers. I mean doing it now, of course, but I could have been doing it all along!

This tree was going to filibuster but realized Cory Booker could stand longer.

Amplifying Sen Booker is both an easy and an important thing to do today!

Part of me really, really wants @booker.senate.gov to keep going and beat Strom Thurmond's record... to show all of us that love for humanity is stronger than hate for differences. But I'm also worried about his physical well-being. This has to be so physically demanding.

I watched for a bit - Cory Booker is working so very hard. I'm rooting for him. I also read today that the record was set by Strom Thurmond speaking for 24 hours and 18 minutes to oppose the Civil Rights Act of 1957. So dedicated to hate.

Wow. Total gut punch. Like @meidastouch.com says, "It's important, it's urgent -- and it needs to be shared far and wide."

"I'm Jadzia now."

From @jlussenhop.bsky.social -how "The First 48" led to wrongful convictions. So easy to draw the parallel to Trump. The intersection of entertainment for profit and gravely serious subjects is a risky recipe for disaster. skywriter.blue/pages/jlusse...
