The man who thinks we had saddles for dinosaurs apparently also thinks there is a magical algorithm that just “poof” finds corruption…. and that it was developed by a man who is well known to not even be able to script an Excel function.

A beloved and celebrated doctor back home was attacked by Jewish Insider for posting about Gaza, he’s since been removed from the hospital network website. We stand behind Dr. Rathore. Speaking out against Israel and the Genocide is the right thing to do.

DOJ leadership has put all Public Integrity Section lawyers into a room with 1 hour to decide who will dismiss Adams indictment or else all will be fired. Sending them strength to stand by their oath, which is to support the Constitution, not the president’s political agenda. 🇺🇸

Me: BATMAN BEGINS is great, but I was amused by the writers’-fiat plot device that a place can be SO corrupt that some reasonably-organized foreign actor can just puppeteer it on a whim. Me, 20 years later: fuck

Top tip. Don’t have insomnia in the middle of a coup. An executive order has now given DOGE oversight of all government departments. It’s a complete takeover of the federal government by Musk. A Musk ‘team lead’ will now make all hiring decisions according to a ‘data-driven’ model

Thought that since some people like to talk endlessly about saving women's sports that I'd make a list of the most pressing issues that need addressing to improve the lives of female athletes. Would be awesome if these folks took a break from the one-note culture war to help address these.

Support for mothers of young children. The church has the play spaces, the childcare, Mother’s Day out programs, meal trains, Sunday school, play dates, rec league coaches, VBS, etc. even the YMCA. There is no support for them outside of it. It keeps the families in.

This is a five-alarm warning coming from a sitting FCC commissioner and should be a massive #FrontPage story. Trump-Carr's weaponization of the FCC and extortion of media companies is an authoritarian assault. Help amplify the alarm: repost tagging a journalist or elected official.

Now you can dump Amaz**n completely and buy print books AND EBOOKS from Bookshop.org with proceeds going to small bookstores. You can buy audiobooks from their associated app, Libro.fm. You can pick the small bookstore you want to support or let your purchase money go to a general pot.

Right wing circles are circulating a story about Biden funding $50 million in condoms to Gaza which they stopped through DODGE, yet the only source found is the words of the press secretary. Another dog whistle and terrible journalism to repeat it without doing any research..

How the HECK is it not a nationwide scandal that Trump told federal law enforcement to divert resources away from drug trafficking and terrorism cases to instead prioritize prosecuting undocumented immigrants for living here? They screamed about fentanyl and then did this!
