Good Idea - I have read that in many places people are using the driving app Waze and adding "Icy" markers where ICE thugs have been spotted.

Alternative facts

Happy World Music Day! Music has played an instrumental role in my life, connected me to countless people, and I’m overjoyed by any opportunity to share with Virginians my passion for playing the harmonica.

I keep seeing Adriana Smith "gave birth." She didn't "give birth," a fetus was cut from a corpse. She & her family were denied any dignity in her death. She was dehumanized, designated an incubator, & desecrated. By the very system that killed her.

And revenge and greed.

The new trade agreement between the US and the UK was, apparently, written with invisible ink.

If Russia got kicked out of the G8 for annexing Crimea against its will, shouldn’t the USA get kicked out of the G7 for threatening to annex Canada and Greenland against their will?

@nytopinion.nytimes.com should be thrown to the curb with the trash.

this is gold 🤣. the political clarity is unmatched. i need the daily digest.

She doesn’t even lie well

It’s like veep but much much much stupider

A bridge overpass in western Russia collapsed late Saturday, derailing a passenger train underneath and killing at least seven people and injuring dozens, officials and the state news media said.

Sorta like how the invention of vaults hurt the bank robbery business.

So if Trump is meeting with these people who bribed him the most with his cryptocurrency in his "personal" capacity, then it can't be an "official act" and thereby shielded from prosecution with SCOTUS immunity if taking enormous bribes turns out to be a crime, right?

Finally found time to watch the first two Murderbot episodes and they were everything I was hoping for. If you're a fan of the Murderbot series by @marthawells.com be sure to add this to your watch list. So good. tv.apple.com/us/show/murd...

The people Republicans are trying to take Medicare benefits from *paid* for those benefits. Republicans may as well be looting from their constituents' savings accounts.

Is there anything more Republican than giving tax breaks for buying tanning beds while removing the health insurance you'd need if you get melanoma from one?

That's how the world should be ❤️

The new owners of VPNSecure are canceling lifetime subscriptions, saying their acquisition netted them “the tech, the brand, and the infrastructure/technology—but none of the company, contracts, payments, or obligations from the previous owners.”

Just listened to the Hur interview tape and I’m utterly appalled at all the incoherent and crazy things Biden said about Revolutionary War airports, injecting bleach, people eating cats and dogs, Hannibal Lecter, and Arnold Palmer’s penis. Simply unbelievable that he ran for president again.

U2 frontman Bono appeared on the red carpet with #Ukrainian soldiers. At the premiere of a documentary based on his autobiography late on Friday, May 16, he stated that the world is once again threatened by fascism, just as it was when the festival was founded in 1939

I am formerly rejecting "If you wrote this in a novel it'd be too on-the-nose". Going forward my characters will perform unambiguous symbology, read lines devoid of subtly, whilst a big flashing sign over the stage reads THIS IS ALL REALLY HAPPENING RIGHT NOW YOU FUCKS.

hear me out what if we *neither* unconstitutionally accepted jets from a foreign nation *nor* kept throwing the jets we already have in the ocean?

Just FYI because evidently Fox or OAN or whatever is pushing the lie that America accepted the Statue of Liberty and that’s equivalent to the plane. Congress VOTED to approve receiving the statue. So congress should vote on the jet

The world is more divided than ever, but there’s still something (nearly) everyone agrees on: The US is unloved. Meanwhile, China keeps improving its global standing 👇 www.politico.eu/article/usa-...

Yes, Trump getting a plane is exactly the same as the Statue of Liberty

Ya got both now George

20 Things I Hate About You

listen, I know you're exhausted what with the baby keeping you up all night and requiring constant supervision all day but you really should set up a microbiology lab in the den and conduct a double-blind longitudinal study of the efficacy of the polio vaccine in your spare time

"Access to both networks would normally require a "Q" clearance, the highest level of security clearance at the Department of Energy..." www.npr.org/2025/04/28/n...

Martha and the Muffins are pissed at Pierre Poilivre for using “Echo Beach” without permission #musicnews

I love America. But if I weren't from here, I wouldn't dare come here now.

Roy Thomas Baker, who was among the most successful music producers of the 1970s and 1980s and who helped produce Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody,” has died at 78.

“Hegseth eyes Papacy”

Happy Easter

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

I’m just an old-fashioned conservative who thinks that criminals should go to prison after receiving due process, and not to El Salvador or to the White House without it.

“I was just following orders” was not a defense at Nuremberg. And it won’t be a defense in the future here.
