Blacky. Queen of the Gongy Gongy even at rest

It is quilted!!! Now to figure out how I want to bind it. I have ideas. #benitamakes #colortheoryquilt #quilts #quilting #quiltsofbluesky

I’m sitting here trying to finish a very complicated piece about nuclear command and control and she’s just not having any of it

Trump is now blasting Leonard Leo & the Federalist Society for doing him wrong on suggesting which federal judges to nominated. That's right, Trump is biting the hand that feeds him...judges. Trump's desperation is showing. He's getting weaker, not stronger. This will not end well for Donald Trump.

a smart, important message to the next generation.

This is what Russia calls a military target: A depot for repairing public transport in Kharkiv. One trolleybus destroyed. 18 damaged. Three people were injured.

Nuclear power’s long lead times are ultimately what disqualify it as a climate solution. Scientists emphasize that humanity must slash greenhouse gas emissions starting now, not a decade from now.

Spare me the fake outrage. None of these people showing up for court are criminals of any kind. As a prosecutor, I worked with many ICE officers who arrested violent criminals. None of them wore masks. Many of your agents are clearly ashamed to carry out your orders.

SCOTUS just gave the Trump admin the green light to deport 500,000 immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua & Venezuela. These people entered LEGALLY under Biden’s humanitarian parole. This isn’t about “illegal immigration”— in Trump’s own words, this is about ethnic cleansing. #OnYourSide

Ice agents arresting immigrants coming out of immigration court is appallingly cruel. People trying to do the right thing should not be punished.

Fries would like to remind you to take your meds because sometimes you forget.

Breaking news: Contradicting HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the CDC continues to recommend the coronavirus vaccines for healthy children, according to new documentation posted to the agency's website.

Andry left Venezuela for the US, dreaming of a career in cosmetics. Instead, he was mistakenly deported to a Salvadoran prison, where he still languishes.

He messed with our election. The damage HAS been done.

The drugs are only part of the story. I am, of course, not a medical doctor, but the technical term for Musk’s condition, I believe is: “Deeply Fuqqed Up Syndrome.” open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

ICE turned back in Somerville So many Somerville community members came out that ICE simply retreated. Nonviolent resistance works when communities come together to protect kids and families.

Phang: If you see claims that those convictions have been overturned on appeal — it’s bullshit. They have not been overturned on appeal. I have no idea—strike that—I have every idea where that comes from. It comes from stupid, far-right people who don’t know how to read and don’t know the law.

Morning, 11 days out from shoulder replacement surgery. Sent home from @mayo with TYLENOL

What is this administration trying to accomplish? Grifting, Chaos, and Destruction.

Every measure shows that Trump's policies are sapping economic growth. And Congressional Republicans are totally onboard with his buffoonery. So, media, stop with the lie that Republicans "are good on economics" or "pro-growth." It just ain't true. #EconSky www.marketwatch.com/story/econom...

Morning. Today, make some republican’s life a living hell.

Since none of the MFers have ever served anything but themselves, sacrifice and dedication is a hard dose of reality.

Really, America ? THIS DUDE MUST GO !

Trump is again undermining our schools. Instead of using taxpayer dollars to fund vital public school programs like mental health services and career readiness, he is diverting as many public resources as possible to private schools—most notably through the new voucher scheme approved by the House.

Goodnight to most, from all at Skinnerville, where Big Leany and The Baked Potato have joined forces to rule the bed.

Can we please stop talking about Jake Tapper now? I mean really, is there anything of value here? And I'm completely baffled by why anyone would watch @cnn.com anymore. Yes, they were the gold standard of TV news for a couple of decades, but for the last three years they've been unwatchable.

@invisible.institute‬ and ProPublica reviewed more than 300 sexual assault and misconduct complaints that were filed over the past decade against Chicago police officers. But experts say that’s likely an undercount. We need your help to understand the scope and scale of this issue 👇

Voters overwhelmingly think ALL Americans should have access to vaccines — not just those who are immunocompromised.

New data finds Americans are more likely to support labor unions over Big Business than at any time in the past 60 years. We are witnessing a historic rebirth of worker power.  If you want a better life for you and your children, join or support a union.

Medicaid is the single largest source of health coverage in the USA. Nearly 72 million Americans, including children, pregnant people, seniors, families with limited income & people with disabilities, rely on it. Tell the Senate not to gut it: bit.ly/4moCISR @lwvus.bsky.social @lwvva.bsky.social

We are like six months from them outlawing seatbelts.

Everything Elon touches turns to garbage I am sure that behind the scenes his engineers were praying he would move to DC fulltime He is widely regarded as the worst boss in the United States and it seems clear he has only ever hurt his own companies by being present onsite
