I buried a rabbit kitten that had been killed by an outdoor cat this morning. These are my rabbit friends. Two of them have laid down to die by my back doorstep in the last several years. I buried them too. My condolences. It’s vicious and does not gaf about our feelings. Virtual hugs.

This and more. Patriarchy must be utterly shattered. We need long term education initiatives to teach children to treat all people with the respect and empathy. Institutional racism and codified/organized misogyny are woven together, and must be abolished. It may take generations but it must happen.

Racism won't end until white people confront and dismantle the system they benefit from.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

If you are wondering what we have to do to fix this. The instructions are in the Declaration of Independence.

A visibly emotional Anne Hathaway responding to a trans kid--who named herself Ella after Ella Enchanted, and thanked Hathaway for her courage as an ally--saying "Ella, sweetie, I want to make something absolutely clear: It takes zero courage to love you"......now I might cry too

Anne Hathaway, you will ALWAYS be that girl. 💙💛

Bad news from home this morning. Health betrays us in such a nonchalant way. I am gripping hard at this poem by Jan Zwicky. Beethoven Op. 95 And because it is fall darkness will shadow the northeast and because it is late in this century darkness will be in the air you breathe

This is a set of frames of the surface of Comet 67P taken by the Rosetta mission on 1 June 2016. The particles in the foreground are bits of dust and ice or cosmic rays effects. The "waterfall" of points moving in the background are stars.

Some timeline stuff: — We expect to get InfoWars.com after the judge clears it in a couple of weeks. — We'll build a world of characters on the site and across social media. Tim Heidecker is in charge, and we have grand designs. — Visit theonion.info, buy a subscription, help us dominate the world.

theonion.infoInfoWarsLet me tell you a story. When I was a child, I suffered from night terrors. It was always the same dream: I could hear my family and neighbors wailing…

I love my sedan. 2009 Acura TL w/Tech.

It kills me that so few car makers make sedans nowadays. I don't want a crossover, I don't want an SUV. I want a damn CAR. 😭 A pint-sized Suburban that drives like a pogo stick just isn't a car to me. A comfortable full-sized sedan with all the bells and whistles is what a car should be IMO

Logistics has always been the reason our military has been a behemoth, and how we win. This is what losing looks like.

Melania Trump wants these photos and emails to be scrubbed from the Internet. Please stop liking and sharing them. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

On this day in 1922, a Czech Jewish woman was born. On the 17 Dec 1941 she was deported to Theresienstadt with her father. On the 19 Oct 1942 she was deported to Treblinka (with both parents) where she perished. Her name was Eva Brenderová

And we aren’t doing shit about it. The complacency is sickening. I’m sure we will wake up eventually, but it’s already too late.

The Generals are gone. The AG is gone. We started a war. Gas is up. Healthcare is up. Prescriptions are up. The rich are richer. The poor are poorer. Protesters have been killed. Service members have been killed. The law is a suggestion. The constitution is a memory. We. Are. Not. Okay.

After the White House complained about an unflattering photo of Karoline Leavitt, it was removed from AFP and Getty’s systems. This is the photo in question. Please do not repost it. 👇

Has anyone considered that they are not leaving Congress because they are afraid of Trump? That perhaps they know that Congress is essentially done, and they will have more lucrative opportunities coming up as the regime intensifies its rule?

We saw Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die. It was a great film. The best I’ve seen since Poor Things. We are all fucked, and it’s going to be one hell of a ride to get through to the other side.

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

After over a month of not knowing what is going on, I finally have a lab result that shows I have SOMETHING. It took two ER visits since December 18, the first in which I was admitted, to get this result. I am relieved.

Liam is in ICE custody and his health is deteriorating. Joaquin Castro says Liam is depressed, lethargic, sleeping excessively and barely eating, repeatedly asking about his mom, and when he can go home. He’s withdrawn and not the bright preschooler he was just days ago. LIAM NEEDS A DOCTOR 1/2

America is outraged after ICE killed two white people in Minneapolis. I understand why folks are feeling afraid and angry right now. But I need you to understand something just as clearly: this is what Black America has been living with for generations. open.substack.com/pub/cwebbstu...
