Trump just threatened to withhold federal disaster relief from North Carolina if the state votes Democratic in the midterms. Let me remind you again: no president in history has politicized and weaponized natural disasters the way Trump has.

TRUMP: We gave nothing in exchange for Stephen. We never give anything in exchange for hostages. TRUMP LITERALLY MOMENTS LATER: If I implemented sanctions on Russia, Steven wouldn't be coming out right now.

Do I need to know anything about linguistics to listen to Lingthusiasm? Nope, that's what we're here to help with!! But we are filtering for people who go "oh, linguistics? that sounds like it might be neat" And we're delighted with the people who've found us as a result of that

My dog’s theme song is “I only want to be with you. “ What’s yours?

It’s family separation all over again.

Our sukkah reminds us that everyone should have shelter. Support affordable housing in your community!

Paying expensive healthcare premiums but never using the insurance is a odd way to commit fraud.

What does a sniper position at Memorial Circle actually defend against? Not China. Not a submarine. Not a missile. It overlooks a bridge, a traffic circle, and the front door of the National Mall. Those are places where Americans march. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

The White House announced it will slash benefits for 400,000 Supplemental Security Income recipients with Down Syndrome , dementia, and other disabilities whose parents or relatives receive SNAP benefits. They are cutting off food for families who take care of their disabled loved ones.

Blue state AGs should be warning postal officials that they will face felony prosecution for election interference for any legal ballots diverted and not delivered. Separate felony counts for every single ballot mishandled and not delivered. We would expect no less if private citizens stole ballots

Here's a challenge for Bsky Christians: How about choosing quotes to criticize others that don't have anything to do with Jews. Thanks.

2) The US-Israel relationship is about more than interests. It’s about shared values, and applying consequences when Israel’s behavior doesn’t align with our values. 2/2

` 60+ Cherry Trees were cut down in DC to make way for a golf course for Trump. This act violated a court order. They did it anyway because the law doesn’t apply to this administration. These trees were gifted to the American people by Japan in 1912. More destruction by a criminal government.

This is why we need to support ProPublica.

ICE imprisoned another extremely dangerous 5 year old. The streets of Austin are now immeasurably safer. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Will Bunch: They want you to become comfortably numb to their death cult. The lethal drone attacks by Trump's CIA on innocent Ecuadoran fisherman is one of the worst war crimes from a criminal regime. There needs to be justice. www.inquirer.com/opinion/cia-...

Two married professors and their son are being held in ICE detention, despite being legal permanent residents and having no criminal records. All, apparently, because their mom/MIL was a translator for the Iranian hostage takers in 1979, before they were even born. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Any tips for tracing descendants of fairly well known figures? In this case of Sir Andrew Cohen, 1909-1968. I’m looking for his personal papers, they certainly existed in the past, as they were quoted from in a 1980 article. Any leads or ideas appreciated!

Every accusation a confession. There were many flaws in the Biden administration, but empathy was not one of them.

The FDA won’t tell Americans where their generic drugs are made, so ProPublica did it instead. Use information from your prescription label to locate the factory and see if the plant has a history of inspection violations.
