I can't understand why we get a bat or two in the house each spring with so much garlic around. Please note that we've lived here for three years and never planted any garlic. #AmGardening 🌱

Provincetown is a small town, and it’s raining today, but I did a quick headcount and we’ve got 500+ people at our drag-queen-hosted #NoKings rally!

Any person in uniform wearing a mask and refusing to be properly and reliably identified should be assumed to be the same kind of murderer we’ve seen in Minnesota.

I would like my state, every state, to mandate badges, name plates, no masks, for all law enforcement in the state. And if federal agents try to break the mandate, arrest them, then let the courts sort it out.

When I was younger I had my checkbook stolen (👨🏻‍🦳) and we had a surveillance video of the guy who stole it cashing one of the checks and the detective who looked at it with us said “Well, what do you want us to do, go talk to him?”

The point is to create a world in which the authoritarians can simultaneously inhabit a position of victim and abuser, creating an imagined threat of persecution and violence in order to persecute and carry out violence. This is how this always works. We cannot allow this to continue.

With the tragic assassination of a Minnesota Democratic leader, I’m going to underline this point again.

In the 1970s there was a Christian Nationalist org in Oregon called the Posse Comitatus whose members impersonated police officers. They menaced judges and other public officials who they thought had committed "treason" against the Constitution. A close associate became chair of the OR GOP in 1978.

Remember when hen Republicans bullied DHS under Obama to bury a report about the growth of right-wing terrorist groups? Or how just earlier this year the FBI and DHS cut funding to efforts to track and prevent domestic terrorism? Political assassinations and attempts are the result.

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

I think we know how Cillizza would have been posting during the civil rights era

Bluesky feels incredibly busy and vibrant to me….becuase I follow a lot of people. Which you have to do here if you want to see a lot of action, because *the site has no central algorithm.* A startling number of professional tech writers still don’t seem aware of this basic aspect of Bluesky.

I told you we’d be back

If anyone else walked into a school and tried to claim they had permission to take a kid, not only would they be ejected, that’s attempted kidnapping. It’s not like schools don’t have literal decades of dealing with potential (usually non-custodial family) kidnappers.

Earlier today the news broke that the US was pulling some diplomatic personnel out of Iraq and nearby countries. Now it's come out that Iran just executed a historic hack compromising dozens of terabytes of Netanyahu's private files and Mossad Intel files x.com/DropSiteNews...

If you're wondering, I looked it up—this is Pritzker at Chicago Pride in 1993, the year he earned his law degree.

So damn proud of these kids for their courage. 💥 Hundreds of Milford, MA high schoolers walked out in protest today after ICE detained their classmate Marcelo Gomes Da Silva. Detained on his way to volleyball practice. Illegally. These students aren’t backing down—they’re rising up. #OnYourSide

We love to see it.

A new analysis estimates the Trump/GOP budget's rollback of clean energy tax credits will eliminate nearly 830,000 jobs by 2030 and raise energy prices by 50% by 2035.  Just another way the "big beautiful bill" will make the economy worse and your life more expensive.

We're getting the garden ready for the seedlings that are in the grow tent. 🌱 #amgardening Thank you for your attention to this matter.

he wants to rescind “Special Order 9212, which requires officers to end a chase if they or the suspect’s speed reaches or exceeds 50 mph without commander approval. He also proposed reimplementing a provision to shield officers who terminate a pursuit from discipline or criticism” ACAB

Moneygall is proud, too! we visited, got a fridge magnet from Barack Obama Plaza, took photos w/the life-sized cutout at Ollie Hayes' (great irish coffees there). we don't all get gas stations, but there are so many irish outside of ireland that when descendants visit, they'll welcome you home ❤️🇮🇪

The pie bird is definitely from a uranium black period. Interested in finding soon if the Pfaltzgraff bird is, also. :)

So many lies. 1. Afghan refugees were vetted by the same process all refugees go through. No refugee has ever been a security threat to USA. 2. The Afrikaaners aren't persecuted. They're 7% of the population and own 70% of the land. 3. "Assimilation" is their whitewashed way of saying "white."

Move comes as administration largely closes refugee admissions from countries experiencing widespread violence, poverty.

This is gorgeous

The regime is threatening to arrest Democrats for fulfilling their official duties in their official capacity. They are trying to make it illegal to oppose the regime.

Had a really bad poop yesterday. Worse than 9/11.

The framing: Democrats are in the hot seat because of their support for trans people! The reality: Republicans are wasting the time and resources of legislatures across the country on a vendetta of relentless discrimination against trans people.

Former Wharton Business School Professor: "Donald Trump Was the Dumbest Goddam Student I Ever Had."

in light of the fact that "doing something" keeps working and seems popular, i think that the people in charge of doing something should do something
