Soooooo "the courts" just let Felon47 continue to tear apart the USAID workforce because reasons. So much for the law will save us🙄🙄🙄🙄

Happy Friday, bluesky.

Floating the idea of them stupid ass checks from DOGE is literally a distraction while they keep ruining the country. "Here's 5000 bucks, pay no attention to the man behind the curtain" (wizard of oz reference)

looking back everything went to shit when Schoolhouse Rock stopped airing

I am the great-grandson of a man who led his family out of the shtetl to a strange land in search of a better life. I am the grandson of the three-year-old boy on that journey. As you know, my name is Marc, but my Hebrew name is Elhanan—after the warrior in David’s army who slew a powerful giant.

It fascinates me that giving to charities is considered noble and praiseworthy, but creating a society that doesn't require charity is considered socialist and bad.

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

NEW: Minnesota was just ranked a top state both to retire and to raise a family.   By investing in the things that matter – economic opportunity, health and safety, and strong communities – we’re building the best state for all Minnesotans from childhood through retirement.

Well well well. This could explain a LOT!!

The Alley of Glory in my hometown. The song in the video says: The Ukrainian sun has risen, Let it shine brightly. The price is paid high. We will never forgive.

This is Gemma. She is the real-life version of this emoji: 😬 12/10

Got hammered by ice & snow, but having warm snuggle-buds helps... #cats

Pritzker: If we don’t want to repeat history, then for god’s sake, in this moment, we better be strong enough to learn from it.

One of the highlights of birding along the Panama Canal was seeing Rufescent Tiger Herons at the Amador Dump. eBird noted that these are unreported in this area, but we spotted several, including this stunning juvenile! 🥰🥰🥰 #Herons #Panama #birdsseenin2025

It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank. I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history. Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.

I wish they were

Democratic leaders: I think it's abundantly clear at this point that simply going along to get along ain't gonna work. Trying to negotiate ain't gonna work. Being collegial ain't gonna work. What you're doing right now isn't working. Take your gloves off and punch back. Hard.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

That's all I'm saying.....

...and female M&Ms, and rainbows, and Mr. Potatohead, and Barbie, and a beer can, and a Starbucks cup, and "Happy Holidays", and Taylor Swift existing, and a free press, and non-white mermaids, and masks, and accountability, and female ghostbusters, and... and... and...

I don't remember if I shared anything about my crow buddy, Charlie. We spend every summer together, he battles hawks, is a patient dad to a squawking youngun, and likes to preen and do yoga in the trees along the garden.

I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an “ASMR” video of shackled immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, it’s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over inhumane detention, camps, and deaths
