Wow. apnews.com/article/tesl...

Absolutely

We owe our children better than this!

@nytopinion.nytimes.com Why would you publish this without a piece presenting differing arguments side by side? I get it, free speech is great. But you are platforming taking away people’s rights like it’s just a walk in the park. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/15/o...

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Why isn’t this enough to sink RFK Jr.’s nomination? It’s actually scary that someone who promotes this would even be considered to be nominated… why do people like it?

This RFK Jr. nomination is a joke, right? childrenshealthdefense.org/vaccine-secr...

Who? Say their names!

Interesting Grok thread about Trump. x.com/i/grok/share...

This one went over his head.

I remember everybody talking about A FACE IN THE CROWD (1957) predicting Trump in 2016 but honestly it's straightforwardly the Reagan story. Hayseed doofus uses a cornfed radio gig to become a camera cowboy, hawks hair gel and cigars to horny housewives with a smile, becomes a right-wing demagogue

Interesting to see MAGA nation learning that “aryan” has Indian ancestry.

Does anyone have a heads up on the plan where Kamala Harris has the courage on 1/6/25? Why hasn’t this been promoted better?

Tired dog, the Christmas season is a bit much for him.

Pre-filed bill in Missouri. Dark stuff. Yet many seem to like it. What drives this? www.senate.mo.gov/25info/BTS_W...

Precedent is fake. Useful as a legal concept, perhaps. But outside of courts, bad people do bad things if they have the power to. Sometimes they refer to past action. Often, they don't even bother. The idea that you necessarily bind future actors by not doing something is mysticism, basically.

Any thoughts on expanding the House of Representatives? Such as giving the people better access and closer alignment to their representatives, for example? gluesenkampperez.house.gov/posts/gluese...

And this is why the campaign rhetoric doesn’t work. Y’all want to call him an existential threat but don’t treat him like an existential threat. It doesn’t matter if he wants to put together a 21st century New Deal, he’s a threat to the goddamn republic!

Minneapolis sights:

oh my god this is brilliant

Missouri is a “red state”, with a majority of voters enshrining legal cannabis, Medicaid expansion, abortion rights, and minimum wage increases into the state constitution. All opposed by MO GOP, vigorously. What gives?

Anyone ever make a red wine fondue? What wine would be good for this? #food

Iceland

Northwest Arkansas, Boston Mountains

Justice still being served over January 6. For some reason, a plurality of voters in the US don’t care. Why not? www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/n...

Has anyone personally who is reading this actually been negatively impacted by migrants or undocumented immigrants? Just trying to grasp the visceral contempt that so many claim to have.

Tired Henry dog.
