Democrats convert empty warehouses into shelters for the homeless. Republicans turn them into concentration camps to torture people without due process. The two parties are not remotely the same.

Here's some background on how the Franklin character came to be, it started with a letter from school teacher Harriet Glickman to Charles Schulz, he initially pushed back, but she kept writing and had others write him too. #Peanuts

The FBI Director, the DC US Attorney, and the Secretary of Defense walk into a bar. Apparently like every day.

Today, President Barack Obama and I read to a group of toddlers at Learning Through Play Pre-K Center in the South Bronx.  In between singing wheels on the bus, we discussed our administration’s vision for this City — one where New York’s Cutest have the strongest start possible.

We shouldn’t let it get lost in the conversation that Donald Trump said, in his capacity as “President”, from the Oval Office, that anyone with a learning disability is “dumb.” MAGA parents with learning disabled kids — are you listening?? Are you?!?

That’s not how it went down, afaik, Mr. Mamet ew.com/david-mamet-...

Jasmine Crockett exposes the truth— Side by side, she plays footage of the violent January 6th rioters next to Rep. LaMonica McIver at Delaney Hall— a stark contrast between criminals and congressional oversight. The difference couldn’t be clearer.🗣️

Attorney General Pamela Jo Bondi says she is going against corrupt judges. In case you wonder why she hasn’t gone after the *most* corrupt, Clarence Thomas, there is a professional courtesy between lawyers who take bribes.

How does that song go… Tevye: “Efficiency! Efficiency!…” Hrm…

If you are not furious at what our government did to these people, there’s something wrong with you.

#BREAKING: 5-4 Court, with Barrett joining the three Dem. appointees in dissent *vacates* Chief Judge Boasberg’s temporary restraining orders in the Alien Enemy Act cases. Judicial review must be available, Court holds, but has to come through habeas petitions: www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

I miss the days (pre-2005) when Red Hat had no more sinister connotation than “oh ****, I’m going to have to reinstall the operating system -again-.”

I couldn't get it just right but I still wanna post it because why the fuck not? Trump's tariffs really fucking up those markets.

My hometown paper ☕️💅🏽

If you’re in the US and appreciate libraries, don’t forget this documentary on public television (… kein ayin hara, of course) on March 29. www.pbs.org/independentl...

“Genuinely care and act for a better world.” @aoc.bsky.social

The pages featured short biographies about the people buried in the cemetery, including Gen. Colin L. Powell, the first Black chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; Hector Santa Anna, a B-17 bomber pilot, Berlin Airlift pilot, and members of the Tuskegee Airmen wapo.st/4isEBv8

If I was an attorney and had this interaction with a judge, I would simply request a recess and use it to fake my own death, then join the French Foreign Legion under an assumed name.

I’ve even read- well, fewer of these than in some earlier years, time to catch up :)

Hee, had to share this! (Thanks to Mom) youtu.be/KpPIxcntxkE?...

"I’m not sure which is worse: the fact that Republicans are moving to gut the last lifeline for 72 million Americans who rely on Medicaid and 43 million Americans who rely on Food Stamps or the fact that they’re lying about doing it." Read more: plus.briantylercohen.com/p/republican...

Pete Hegseth just reportedly ordered the US military’s Cyber Command to “stand down” from all planning against Russia. Analysts have been ordered not to follow or report on Russian threats. One inside source said, “Putin is on the inside now.”

I Would Hope ALL Federal Workers-Who Actually Had To-Would Respond In This Way... 🇺🇸

Big news for anyone with federal student loans: after we rang the alarm, a judge stopped Elon Musk and his team from seizing your personal data. This is why we get in the fight.

Works as advertised

This is a program for teenagers with serious disabilities who are finishing high school and transitioning to their next steps in life. Trump just axed it, effective immediately, in the middle of the night, with no notice.
