"So here's the plan -- we impose massive tariffs on the nations that sell us food." "Hmm." "But it's OK, because we just rely more on states like California that grow a lot of the same things." "Oh, I guess that ..." "And then we go to war with California."

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

Don't wear goggles to a protest unless they're rated shatter resistant. You're better off with NO eye protection than eyewear that will send shards of plastic into your eye. If you can't find shatterproof goggles, get lacrosse goggles. Cheap and effective eye protection from larger munitions.

Known fans of violence LAPD says it was a peaceful protest today. Everybody mark this press release.

There's a part of me that wants to snort that if our state was really in an open state of rebellion, the local news would probably be covering this. But as it stands: CBS 2: Covering insurance NBC 4: Destination X/American Ninja Warrior ABC 7: The Connors: Fox 11: Raw Travel

Days with Frog and Toad by Arnold Lobel

All protestors need to do in California is wear MAGA hats and shirts and hold Trump posters and flags. Promote some conspiracy theories and also a Confederate flag. National Guard and police won't touch them.

According to the official White House account, the US is in the midst of an "insurrection" that warrants federalization of the National Guard, which is why the President is attending a UFC fight and hanging out with Dana White.

For some reason, I was just thinking about how Trump’s former chief of staff tried to warn us right before the election that Trump was a fascist who wanted to rule us like a dictator … and the New York Times put that story on page A12

Caught and killed the story so the politics desk could instead run stories "Biden has Parkinsons" on A1

Next weeks Seattle Reign vs Chicago Stars game can only be saved by an Emeri Adames start. Anything else is a crime

Can’t believe we’re still talking about highway expansions in 2025. This is the wrong choice not just for NJ, but the whole region. Hope NJ voters pick a candidate with some sense.

Andrew Cuomo hasn't lived in the city since 1990 and only just moved here at the end of 2024 into his daughter's apartment for his vanity run for mayor. Anyone arguing that he's a New Yorker is deliberately obfuscating.

Theres a guy in the nwsl matchthread talking about how hes glad todays game showed him chicago have enough talent to be competitive in the mwsl and i just wanna shake him

brain is mush #art

Letting Shea Groom rocket shots off your post in big 2025 in the nwsl is embarassing

The Trump administration's spending cuts and restrictions on foreign students are triggering a brain drain — and American scientists are panicking. U.S. researchers' fears are coming true. America's science pipeline is drying up, and countries like China are seizing the opportunity to surge ahead.

Day41 of photoshopping @lastweektonight.com's John Oliver with fossils in the hopes that he saves the Paleontological Research Institution & its #MuseumoftheEarth Today John (H.sapiens) found our 6 ft long Eurypterus body pillow in the void, and learned how good paddles are at comforting hugs 🧪

Separated at birth? #fungifriends 🍄

Turkey tail mushroom cohabiting with an algae that gives it green stripes. #fungifriends

Smoke decreased a bit this afternoon, so I painted in my garden. Water soluable encaustic on paper. #pleinair #flowers #botanicalart

Making some progress on the right page of my moth spread from August of 2021. #SciArt #moth #naturejournal #watercolor

Angel city twos goals off not cleared crosses that went straight into defenders. Delightfully Devilish Seymour

The funniest thing would be if Bob and Willow Iger sent Straus to Disney to coach a team in a movie (im workshopping a Washington Spirit reference here)

Hammond over Hodge? Mew Angel City coach is gonna cause more crashouts than Laity bc people have actual expectations

I love Phair ball

We call that the Everything Schlegel

Angel city fans will still complain after getting away with murder there

Blooming in our garden today. 🌱

What if Schlegel scores a hattrick

Chicago stars just got conned outta a goal. If its not a goal its a handball on MA- except it hits her thigh first. But her hand is over her head. But why is it not a goal? Weak foul for sure I have such respect for the hardwork Ludmila does. Just runs down terrible passes into the corner.

When Schlegel hit that shot i just started coughing so hard. The NWSL is so deep. Thats a player with no goals and one own goal on the season

Red stars today are sending me. Alexander straus welcome to the league.

Manaka hayashi has been good enough today to where i have major gripes with Lorne. Ok so obvs Chicago red stars ownership set him up to fail but what was he doing but being reductive

Cam Bieglaski cannot pass but my god does she shut down star nwsl wingers for breakfast. Its so funny how she just stops Alyssa and Kundananji from doing anything but cant contribute to buildup

i don't want to dunk on any of the people who replied or quoted this with a "well ackshully the national guard will shoot protesters, look at kent state," but my request is to a) remember that kent state was over half a century ago and b) read about the NG's response in its aftermath

The military isn’t being employed to carry out an immigration policy. The immigration policy, and especially the way the administration is choosing to carry it out, is an excuse to call out the military.

Sam staab stays moving me

Feels like a uniquely American brand of stupidity to try and mobilize troops for the battle of Home Depot

So do we get why I was banned from speaking about Pinochet at the Naval Academy now?
