But I am, we told you so.

While doing some research, I stumbled across this great listing of YA books on Japanese internment in WWII, which feels like good reading for today's kids, so, I'm sharing. densho.org/catalyst/you...

I can’t believe how stupid everything is

My friend from the NOAA lab that brings you the Keeling Curve wants that world to know that things are horrible inside NOAA.

i think the most depressing thing about all of this has been having every dark and cynical thought about how quickly institutions would roll over for fascists confirmed within three fucking months. not even a year! not even six months!

Susan Crawford wins the Wisconsin Supreme Court election, according to many election analysts. This after Elon Musk and others poured millions into anti-transgender advertisements in the state. The anti-trans panic failed in Wisconsin. This is a major victory for LGBTQ+ people in the state.

Just because he sucked at buying votes doesn’t mean he shouldn’t still be arrested for it

Ahead of the 2016 election, Trump began saying he might not honor the results of the election if he lost—we all know how that turned out in 2020. When he says he's thinking about a third term in office, we need to take him seriously. Please read: joycevance.substack.com/p/trumps-thi...

Thank you Senator Cory Booker!!! Thank you Senator Tammy Duckworth!!! Watching you LIVE now!

@crow.house.gov on new bill to end dark money in elections: “Every American should be outraged by a billionaire who actually is working in this administration… and then he goes to Wisconsin. He's handing out million dollar checks. He's bribing people, basically, for their votes. This is outrageous.

I was wondering these past few days, where is Cory Booker? Well, he’s back! We have your back Senator Booker!

Senator Cory Booker (D - NJ) is live (on IG: @senbooker) on the Senate floor speaking for us. #ProudBlue His opening statement:

Cory Booker just lit up the Senate floor with a marathon protest speech against Trump’s actions, vowing to speak “as long as I am physically able.” This isn’t a filibuster—it’s a righteous stand for democracy in a time of crisis. Keep going, Senator. 🔥🔥🔥 Watch here www.youtube.com/live/v2utlMx...

I love my friend @booker.senate.gov. Speaking on the Senate floor as long as he is able to tell the stories of the damage being done to Americans by Donald Trump and his Administration.

senate floor right now... senator cory booker www.c-span.org/event/us-sen...

@morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social I would like to see Larry Kudlow on Morning Joe so that you can have him explain why he sat there during his interview with Musk and just grunted in response to Musk’s lies.

Will blow up in the faces of Musk and Trump: Steve Rattner on cutting Social Security www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtSD...

As I told @TheGuardian, DOJ’s halt of corruption enforcement efforts harms consumers and other members of the public.

John Kasich won’t see this, but I feel compelled to correct his inaccurate explanation for the cause of what we call the “dust bowl.” The “dust bowl” occurred due, in part, to a severe drought, and the destructive farming practice of overtilling the soil. It was not due to farmers rotating crops.

@michaelsteele.bsky.social Great segment on your MSNBC fill in for Jen Psaki this morning!!! Joe Walsh and Eugene Daniels… or Eugene/Walsh! Thank you for cutting through the BS.

Up bright and early to sub in for @velshi.bsky.social on @velshimsnbc.bsky.social! Tune in from 10-12 am ET on @msnbc.com! And yes, will be wearing appropriate footwear for the occasion.

DOGE fired (then rehired) nuclear workers

Fouth-time's the charm finding this barred owl. #birds

Proud to have Minnesota veteran Chris Wicker as my guest at Trump’s joint address. Chris, an Air Force veteran, was fired—twice—by the Trump administration. He represents the thousands of federal workers who have lost their jobs due to reckless cuts. www.startribune.com/minnesota-ve...

This is absolutely the truth!!

One of my favorite parts of seeing Wicked was just how HAPPY people were leaving the theater. Adults, kids, and especially the theater geeks like me.

Uni ate a whole chicken today?

Good morning, Blue Sky. Being resilient is easier when you're surrounded by the right people. Build communities that make you smarter and tougher for the battles ahead. Never give up hope. Never stop fighting for what is right. And just. Whatever comes our way, we will face it together.

Mr Fox is a dog I fed on the streets of Thailand for 2 years. One of the very first ever. He was the most easy going, best behaved boy on my feeding found. I decided to get him a home earlier this year and he ended up in the USA. I find this hard to believe... (1/3)

I think about this a lot as I'm panicking in my shower.
