I’m buying groceries in Canada and it is notable how much further grocery $$ can go up here. $14 US at a small boutique (expensive) shop netted a large package of fancy crackers, herbed goat cheese, Camembert cheese, rice wrapped in grape leaves, and some fruit. 🤯

The U.S. Open has a serious scheduling problem and is not putting players (or fans, but most importantly players) first. Do they have a union? No matches should start after 8 pm. Respect is missing and must be demanded + received. We all teach people how to treat us by what we tolerate.

I never thought about putting dash cams in my cars to protect me from my own government before 2024, but here we are. I want reform now. And I want consequences for those promulgating and perpetrating these abuses upon people.

Video of an ICE agent pulling a gun on a wife and mother, who is a US citizen born and raised in the area, near Bailey's Crossroads in Northern Virginia yesterday. Chillingly, they claimed she “almost ran them over” until she told them she had video proving that was a lie.

A President ordering the Justice Department to criminally investigate a woman who won a sexual assault lawsuit against him makes Watergate look like an unpaid parking ticket.

Bare Naked Ladies “Polywog in a Bog” is to my kids what Raffi’s “Baby Beluga” was to my youngest brother. But nowadays we can set the song as a ring tone for the little polywog who made us listen to it 10,000 times. 😂

Sooo… Bezos will ruin another franchise but I’m thinking it’s probably about time the patriarchy as portrayed in the Bond films meets its demise. #HereForIt #Goodbye007

Nixon should have gone to jail. There is entirely too much leeway given to political corruption by our top politicians. Supposedly bc we are unable to distinguish between criminal and partisan behavior. What are we, gullible children?

Happy Mother’s Day from Holland, where the Dutch government has taken the rape academy website offline after CNN’s investigative reporting. 🥳 But here in America, for the Epsteinth time, (in)action speaks louder than words. Predators are actively protected by Republicans.

I hope the Trump supporters in the Dakotas / Montana / Wyoming / Colorado let their opinions be herd (pun intended). Majestic animals that sustained communities for eons must be respected.

War is terrible. Always. Even worse when clowns have no plan or even a consistent reason for their actions… “…Fed economists Dario Caldara and Matteo Iacoviello… [estimate the] effect of risk on the economy suggest a cost of about $200 billion, with a million fewer Americans working in a year.”

Remember when gas prices went up in the 70s and they put in place lower speed limits to help conserve energy?! Probably won’t happen this time around. Too much freedumb parading as personal liberty these days. No community cooperation bc we are… brats.

The real story… Despite rare death by immolation by a victim, so-called Republican “leaders” do not demand a resignation from Rep Gonzalez until they have an offsetting Dem they can force to resign. Not timely. Not principled. Not doing the right thing. Media needs to cover this angle.

“Budgets are moral documents.”

There was ONE ATC in the tower at LGA during last night's crash. ONE ATC, at LGA!, dealing w ALL air and ground traffic, including a plane filling w a strange smell and no gate to return to. The Pentagon wants $200B for a vanity war, but our ATC towers are empty. Budgets are moral documents.

If only we had declared war on oil dependence instead of other countries…

Spain's renewables build-out has structurally decoupled its electricity prices from gas markets. Gas now sets the price in only 15% of hours, compared to 90% in Italy. Countries that invested early in clean power are far less exposed to fossil fuel price shocks. Those that didn't now pay the price.

It’s 2026 — midterms on the way. I have not yet heard a Virginia candidate run on the promise to support impeachment to stop the madness. Winning platform and they can create a short list of 3-5 people they will move to impeach on day one.

Aaron Rodgers’ last game is a thing of beauty. So many F bombs. 😂 Not exactly a role model for the next generation. Hopefully he leaves it all in the locker room and doesn’t expect his mystery woman to carry this emotional load for him. 😒

It is not coincidental that slapping down Kelly happened with the Venezuela debacle. All of this is about testing the obedience of the US Military. To take over the entire hemisphere, he needs 100% compliance of his military.

If evidence has been destroyed, juries are instructed that they can assume that evidence would have shown the defendant's guilt. The Trump administration releasing only a portion of the Epstein files, and blacking out so much text in the files they did release, is clear evidence of Trump's guilt.

Equality is good for everyone. Fewer men get injured on the job when equipment is retooled to accommodate women. Win-Win!!

Happy International Mens Day. Men still do the most dangerous jobs. Are more likely to take their own lives. Experience perceived social penalties for being paternal, caring, sensitive etc. So, with consent, hug a man today. Fixing the patriarchy is in the best interests of men too!

Please repost this link. FIVE ADMINISTRATIONS and we are still in the dark. Child rape should not have this many enablers.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Senate Ds will vote to reopen government, knowing the House will not cooperate on the ACA in December… political manure to show they care while simultaneously doing nothing AND giving up leverage so they can point fingers later. We need a word for this kind of politics, because it is the worst.

Who’s planning a “send national guard home and feed the kids” protest for Nov 1, when WIC loses funding?? The waste of financial resources right now is… insane. Pretty sure Rs are planning on blaming Ds for starving kids when they could just pass the budget of their dreams alone (but accountable).

The arc of history bends towards justice when we work together and bend it in that direction. What #MeToo was for date rape / assaults / professional environments, the Epstein survivors press conference will be for sex trafficking and pedophiles. Pretty sure we can all agree: pedos go to jail.

You know you've been conditioned to live in a black & white paradigm when you have no ability to distinguish between -Marxism -Communism -Socialism -Democratic Socialism If all those words scream in your brain BAD, but you can't describe their differences, you've been conditioned to feel this way

If the Trump Admin is successful at removing the ~4% of our workforce that is undocumented, there isn’t a corresponding number of Americans ready and willing to do all those jobs. Which means some of our vital but uggggh jobs will not have laborers. We should be thankful instead of being jerks.

Reposting this so I can add this to a protest sign. Related... early voting for Virginia primaries is underway.

If you are National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the GI Rights Hotline. There is support. You don’t have to go through with it. 877-447-4487

When LEO show up en masse in “plainclothes” they set up a perfect environment for human trafficking. What stops human traffickers from renting a van and pretending to be ICE? Not to mention the many concerns about due process, Executive branch overreach, and the lack of constitutionality. Scary.

Here's a picture that a @kuow.org photographer took in Seattle yesterday, showing the ICE officers masked up in the hallways as they waited to arrest people coming out of their hearings.

As far as I’m concerned, Jim Comey foisted Trump on us in the first election. Trump owes him bigly. This nonsense about shells is just another way to make him uncomfortable for awhile. If they disappear Jim Comey, we better all get scared.

I just checked. Still no invasion. Our Constitution, despite gaps, imperfections, and offensive (3/5) metrics, needs to be upheld. Maybe start casually dropping into social conversations that we are not under attack and due process is for all of us. Uphold the rule of law by adding it to a convo.

Brian Tyler Cohen@briantylercohen.bsky.social

We are not under invasion. There is no justification for suspending our constitutional rights. Every single American should speak out against this, loudly and forcefully.

If you won’t call it a genocide (which it is, per the academics who study such things) at least call it a MEDIEVAL SIEGE. I wish all those family values members of R leadership would do something to make this better. It’s fully within their control.

This is a searing editorial in the Financial Times. The West’s Shameful Silence on Gaza. If this had been written by students, and not the Editorial Board of the FT, they would be getting snatched off the streets by ICE.
