The Eldritch Void

One way you know Dolly Parton lived life the right way: I don’t think anyone’s going to get fired for accurately quoting Dolly Parton today.

I appreciate that Dolly Parton refused to participate in "dress respectability" and, by her own account, modeled her aesthetic after a town "tramp," who she thought was beautiful. She separated aesthetics from character and understood "classiness" to be about how you treat people, not how you dress.

He does not have the legal authority to eliminate the legal liability the product carries with it. Firms using it will still be legally liable for any and all health effects

WTF? WHY? WHY? WHY? ruzzia leads the world in asbestos mining, by a lot. I can connect those dots.

So much for MAHA.

Juneteenth is a celebration of freedom, but also a reminder: freedom delayed is freedom denied. #Juneteenth #BlackHistory #FreedomDay #NeverForget

What standing up to ICE looks like. #Resist

Kids can’t name abuse in homes where it’s the norm. Stop this bullshit about “why didn’t you tell someone” when all they’ve ever known is they don’t have the right to ask for help and if they do they’ll pay a further price.

"Violence is never the solution"

When Jesus said “Love thy neighbor,” he meant what Los Angelenos are doing when ICE knocks.

You fight for a zygote, but cheer when a child is ripped from a mother‘s arms by ICE. Tells me everything I need to know about you.

"It's really hard to fathom that the guy making my pizza for 25 years is a gangster and a terrorist, and the person who shows up in an unmarked car wearing a mask and body armor comes to take him away is somehow the good guy” www.wnep.com/article/news...

Some people condemn professional trolls who share child sexual abuse material. We prefer to take a vaguely amused, aloof stance that treats them as “characters” and denotes our contempt for people with beliefs or values. Tomorrow in the NYT.

Reminder that California subsidizes red states.

And who they didn't approve of

In an act of integrity and resistance, a supervisor in the Nashville federal prosecutor’s office resigned over how the Abrego Garcia case was being handled. The charges are bogus, pure political theater meant to justify a wrongful abduction.

Yes it is. Pretty soon they’ll be adding us to the list if we don’t stop this shit now!! He’s ignoring the Courts!!This is a Constitutional Crisis!! Right here, right now!!

ICE waited until a woman’s lawyer went to the restroom then dragged her away. She fainted from stress and they dragged her unconscious body into the elevator, refusing medical attention.

A former D.C. police lieutenant convicted of leaking information about a police investigation to the leader of the Proud Boys group on the eve of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot, was sentenced Friday to 18 months behind bars.

Thinking of a hero I knew and admired.

Ah, the golden age.

DEAN: What's the tariff on bananas? LUTNICK: Generally 10% DEAN: Walmart has already increased the cost of bananas by 8% LUTNICK: If you build in America, there is no tariff DEAN: We cannot build bananas in America

If Musk & his pals are so concerned about increasing the national debt in Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill, why don’t they cut the $664 billion in tax breaks for the 1%; the $420 billion in tax breaks for large profitable corporations; & the $150 billion in increased military spending?

Guess who is going to pay for the tariffs?

A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security with 100% of their income. A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security with less than 1% of their income. Does that sound fair to you?

Spare us the fake outrage.
