Destroying DOJ is not a sufficient condition, but it sure as hell is a necessary one. Protecting DOJ is the most important means to protecting everything else. #DOJ

In the middle of winter in the middle of a cold snap, a wasp has taken up residence in my downstairs bathroom. I've had to trudge upstairs for for two days now. And isn't that just a metaphor for the housing market? #Housingmarket #metaphor #wasp #hostilepresence #corporategreed

TIL from @hcrichardson.bsky.social 's newsletter that the gun industry weaponized gun owners' data for the 2016 election. Because she includes her sources, here's a link to the article. #guns

On the power of simple booing to disrupt political events. I know nothing about this candidate and their issues - sharing because it's both hilarious and instructive. The boo-er spends almost zero energy and seems to need a cup of coffee, yet forces the event to move. youtu.be/de3WWGCK4N0?...

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

Abuse of children - that kind.

This is a great and uplifting read.

Yep.

Almost like it's on purpose.

Using their language is an unnecessary capitulation/defeat.
