Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

A very soggy male Resplendent Quetzal posed for me late in the afternoon last week, right outside my cabin at Paraiso Quetzal Lodge #CostaRica #birds #nature

No, I’m sorry @primevideouk, this WILL NOT STAND! Season 3 was fucking fantastic and if you can afford to pour a billion dollars into The Rings Of Power, you can throw some cash at this glorious show! deadline.com/2025/05/the-...

Earth Day….

NPR reports that White House is searching for new defense secretary reut.rs/4jIUiiq

NEW: The Supreme Court was "perfectly clear" on returning deported Maryland man Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the U.S., and the Trump administration must work to do so, an appeals court said today.

RFK Jr. is very loud and very WRONG about Autism. 1. It’s not a disease 2. There are thousands of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder who pay taxes, have jobs, can use the bathroom on their own, and are thriving in life.

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

"We've talked about this." "I know, but-" "You can't just show up here." "I know, I just-" "This is my JOB, Estelle."

It works. The government here largely works. Because we are so spoiled by how well it works, we are letting a fool convince us it is broken.

Epic headline 🤣

Constituents to Chuck Grassley: "Are you bringing back that guy from El Salvador?" Senior Citizen: “If I get an order to pay a ticket to pay $1200 and I just say ‘no’, does that stand up? Because he just got an order from the Supreme Court and he just said ‘screw it’” “I’M PISSED!”

I suggest everyone become very, very familiar with this piece by law Professor @david.noll.org. I suspect you will be referring to it often. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/if-t...

Not just another designed physics puzzle! Super cool!!

The JD memes do make me laugh. Sorry not sorry. 🤣

Before folks overreact to headlines about the judge’s ruling in the Khalil case, please note that (1) it was an immigration judge (IJ), not a federal district court; and (2) the IJ had no power to consider Khalil’s constitutional objections. This particular decision was a fait accompli.

BREAKING: An immigration court determined our client Mahmoud Khalil to be removable from the U.S. based solely on his political speech. The fight isn't over — we'll keep fighting for Mahmoud's freedom and all of our First Amendment rights in federal court.

If you're a billionaire, then you'll barely notice a few thousand dollars a year in higher prices at the store from these Trump tariffs - plus you can count on him to get you another big tax break for the wealthy. But for everyone else, this is a big deal, and a bad one.

Today House Republicans, cheered on by the richest person on Earth, passed a budget framework that will cut support for the poorest people in our country. All while cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthy, and massively increasing the deficit.

badass: “I have spent the better part of my career listening to loud men talk tough to disguise their weakness.”

Be the rage you want to see in the world.

There’s alone and then there’s lonely and they really aren’t the same. Don’t get them confused.
