Burgum, and everybody who echoed Dumpy's laughably false claims about the Reflecting Pool, has made fools of themselves.

BASH: But it peeled off. Why did that happen? BURGUM: It didn't peel off. There was vandalism. There was box cutters. There have been 7 arrests. BASH: There are photographs of people cutting a 350 foot gash in the reflecting pool? BURGUM: Dana, I'm not sure why you keep questioning it

For the second time in 2 weeks we visited the museum/home of a famous Latin American artist. While teaching Spanish I always showed works by Colombian Fernando Botero. And yesterday I made new friends at the Museo Botero. #boteromuseum #bogota #colombia #slowtravelling

If you credulously do a segment about the vote in California in which you don’t say the president is lying, you’re spreading disinformation to your listeners.

JD Vance has two jobs this weekend: 1) Surrender to Iran without it looking too much like surrender or set up a resumption of war without it looking too much like America failing to control events 2) Get Orban reelected in Hungary

@volkswagen.bsky.social I need another key for my 2020 Passat r-series. I have called or emailed multiple VW dealerships asking about the key. None of them have called me back or answered my email. What do you suggest? I’m doing a road trip from BIrmingham to Philadelphia via Columbia, SC & WashDC

Senate Dems needn’t come to agreement on everything right now. That’s a path to the lowest common denominator. They simply have to agree to filibuster DHS approps. As to which of a host of anti-brutality and anti-authoritarian proposals to advance, let a thousand flowers bloom.

“Ah, just one more thing, sir. You’re blowing up those boats, saying they’re filled with drugs headed for the US. But then you go and pardon the guy who brought in 400 tons of cocaine. That’s billions of doses. Help me understand that.”

Fascism isn’t some high-flown ideology It’s what happens when you shut down higher brain functions and think only with your lizard brain. Hate. Fear. Violence. Cruelty. Us vs. Them It’s the opposite of thinking

It’s outrageous they’re killing innocent people, but we also need to stress, every time, that it would not really matter even it were absolutely certain that they were drug traffickers. Murdering criminals is still, you know, murder.

The government has killed 32 people in 7 strikes with no evidence they were traffickers. The admiral leading the mission quit. If we had proof, they’d face a court, not a drone. The law still applies, even to suspected drug traffickers, and right now, the Administration’s story isn’t adding up.
