Sukhjot Singh "This fierce peregrine mom was patrolling her territory to provide a safe airspace for her newly fledged babies. I thought she was going to attack a few gulls that flew close, but she decided to take a hard right and turn around, offering a rare face-to-face moment with the camera."

This is heartbreaking. Rest in peace, Jonathan 💔

A top coronavirus vaccine adviser at the CDC has resigned, citing concerns that she could no longer help vulnerable people after officials rescinded recommendations to immunize children and pregnant women.

If only we had some Constitutional protections against a President profiting from his position. Like an Emoluments Clause.

"Just one more thing, sir. Since the election, you've announced 12 projects in foreign countries: the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Vietnam, India, Qatar, & Oman. You got a $400 million jet, sold meme coins, $600 sneakers, Chinese bibles, & hats. How is any of this making America great?"

Jonathan Joss was Comanche and Apache and an openly gay actor. He was murdered while looking at the remains of his dogs at his own house that was burnt down. The killer yelled homophobic slurs before shooting him. This is the real world consequences of the hatred that the right commodifies

The heartbreaking statement from Jonathan Joss’s husband about his death.

Fuck You trump you EVIL POS LUNATIC 😡🖕

my takeaway from this feature is that in a functioning political system there would be televised congressional hearings over the fact that one of the most influential people in the white house is a total maniac www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

“One more question, sir. You wrote a book about the former president's cognitive issues, but the current president posted that the former president was executed in 2020 and replaced by a mindless, soulless robot with cancer. What am I missing here?”

Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.

Chris Murphy on Joni Ernst: "I think everybody in that audience knows they're going to die, they would just rather die in old age at 85 or 90 instead of dying at 40. And the reality is that when you lose your healthcare, you are much more at risk of early death."

🤣👇

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

That would be awful. Don’t share this.

#ProudBlue New post by Robert Reich @rbreich.bsky.social precisely sums up what we all suspected: Musk was primarily aligning with Trump for his own many interests in our government.

I'm Dr. Annie Andrews. I’m a pediatrician, not a politician. But either way I know how to handle people who are full of sh*t. Today I am announcing my campaign for US Senate to replace Lindsey Graham. Share this if you're with me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8wM...

Elon Musk had a very evident black eye as he appeared with Trump today to lie about DOGE. Drug abusers very often have black eyes from falls and other drug induced accidents. Following the NYT reports of his massive drug use, the presence of Elon’s black eye only proves their point. #ProudBlue

Elon Musk is standing in the Oval Office with Trump right now. He is swaying back and forth as he agrees with Trump’s listing all of the vital government contracts his DOGE cancelled. He looks stoned as fuck. Of course no cancellation of Elon’s $8 million a day in government contracts. #ProudBlue

1/2 Buried in the GOP’s budget bill is a dictator clause—a sneaky provision that would let Trump ignore court orders without consequence. It guts enforcement of contempt rulings unless plaintiffs post a bond, making the judiciary toothless. This would crown Trump king. 🔗 tinyurl.com/Crown-Trump

Hateful woman in Palmdale, California, keeps threatening to call ICE on a man—for flying a Mexican flag. Except, he’s an American citizen and flies the flag because he sells Mexican food. That’s it.

I was hesitant to write this obituary. Struggle as I might, I don’t have a grand life lesson of his life; nor I any clear meaning to make of his death. I’m just heartbroken that he’s gone. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/in-m...

Beyond parody.

Capitol Police chief blasts Jan 6 conspiracy theories: “My folks were here on Jan. 6.. They were assaulted.. Many of them were injured. They know exactly what happened on Jan. 6. For somebody to make up some story that, 'Oh, it wasn't that bad’..it is just not true” www.cbsnews.com/news/capitol...

My heart hurts today, and every day, about where we could have been. Fuck the entire Trumplandian Universe. We had our joy destroyed.

A letter — signed by 12 long-term institutional investors that together manage about $950bn in Tesla's assets — calls for corporate governance reforms to address a 'crisis' at the carmaker. www.ft.com/content/6b52...

No kings, masters, overlords or any of that bullshit. Time to take the country back.

Retiring US Capitol Police Chief Tom Manger tells @CBSMornings - the pardons of 1500+ Capitol rioters were a "slap in the face" to police and his department =====>

Vladimir Putin is a sworn enemy of the United States. Appeasement was never going to work. Why is that so difficult to understand?

They are purging all the transcripts.

Today, I was denied access to seeing my constituent, Mr. Kilmar Abrego Garcia. If there is nothing to hide, cut the crap. Let his lawyer and I check on him.

For those who sacrificed all, and the ones who will never forget them.

We have a president who virtually never thinks rationally, logically, or even in sequential steps. Nor can he fully comprehend causes and effects. His base of knowledge on virtually all subjects relating to governance and economics and world affairs is minimal. (1/2)

🤢🤢

Remember the 2nd case like Abrego Garcia, involving the gay man deported to Mexico n/w/s having been terrorized and held for ransom there? Judge Murphy orders the US to bring him back. not facilitate, not effectuate, bring him back.
