Tom Sawyer - Rush Just typing this makes me anxious.

Me in the national security group chat.

I'm so broke, even my scam loan offers are getting smaller.

#BreakingNews On 3/21/25 we received a near total termination of our federal contract for legal services under the Unaccompanied Children Program (UCP). No child should ever face a heartless immigration system w/o a lawyer by their side. #SaveUCP Read: www.immdef.org/blog/ucpcont...

Just wait until they start scrutinizing our papers to travel across state lines.

I'm watching CRIMINAL (2016). It feels like a movie from an alternate universe very close to our own. Kevin Costner, Ryan Reynolds, Gal Gadot, Tommy Lee Jones, Gary Oldman. I've never heard of this.

I do not deserve this magnificent creature. #puglife

Now I'm starting to think somebody has to.

This goes double for work. I love what I do, but it is hard enough without gaslighting narcissists sucking the joy out of it.

All righty -- tomorrow, Thursday, March 20. Be there! It'll be fun. (and if you don't catch the stream, it'll be posted at the same URL thereafter). skepticalinquirer.org/video/evolut...

Been thinking a lot about friendships this week. We tolerate a lot from the people we care about, but I'm coming into a season of my life where I'd rather be alone than be taken advantage of.

🚨NEW🚨: Donald Trump is attempting to strip away federal support for libraries. We will NOT let that happen. Last night the President signed an order to gut the Institute of Museum & Library Services. But together, we know we can show up & defeat it. Full EO: www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Do panic attacks count?

I hope everyone who voted for El Pendejo is getting kicked right in the 401K.

I'm not saying somebody should. I'm just wishing somebody would.

OMG the last line. newrepublic.com/post/192493/...

As a science teacher, this makes me feel so defeated. So glad I am closer to the end of my career than the beginning.

It's like he's allergic to rhetoric.

I want someone to throw their shoe.

I just read this aloud to my class of mostly seniors. Without commentary, of course, because teachers are not allowed political speech in the classroom. Just passing along the president's words.

Sure, whatever. One WOOLY MOUSE please.

Imagine DOGE opens your mail and finds your household electric bill. To eliminate this cost, they burn your house down without warning. Then they total up the bills that, as a homeless person, you will never again pay. On its website, DOGE boasts about the money it has saved you.

I had so much anxiety, that I was compelled to make a lasagna.

As a Floridian, who lives a 1/4 mile from the Atlantic ocean, this is terrifying, and I will be calling my local representatives every day until I hear their plan to oppose this. If they do nothing, I will make it my life's work to have them voted out of office. Los que me conocen, saben.

in light of the coming food wars, this would be a good time to learn to prepare nutritionally dense food, like frijoles. If you want my recipe, that you can source entirely from pantry goods, DM me. All you need to find is potable water. Don't take this for granted.

The best part of visiting the Hill today to advocate for climate adaptation science was hearing all the staffers taking calls from concerned constituents - please keep calling!! Highly recommend the @5calls.org app if you don’t know how to call or what to say.

The former head of the Social Security Administration says he expects the agency to miss on some payments over the next three months, interrupting some people's benefits, for the first time in Social Security's history of eight decades: www.cnbc.com/2025/03/01/d...

This week has been a good reminder that my instincts are good, and that I should trust them.

An arcane library, done in wood, metal, paper, and cardboard. Overall height is 3.5 inches. #miniature #library

Wow, this guy is a master at not actually answering the question. it is actually impressive.

Mike Haridopolos was supposed to have a town hall go live at 5:30. We signed up and were supposed to get a call. 33 minutes later, Mike posted the number to call on his twitter. What a mess. Have an in person town hall!

Any Brevard (FL) residents waiting for the District 08 town hall? Anyone get a call?

His office extension still lists the outgoing rep. AND it is currently going straight to a recorded message. So glad he is heading up the sub-committee on space exploration.

He's 23 minutes late. No call yet.

My Congressional Rep is having a telephone town hall tonight (telephone???). He is 18 minutes late to his own town hall.

"A lot of voters may not themselves be racist, but will vote for a racist party... Sam. SAM. These voters are racist. The mental gymnastics, my dude.
