I spent the morning trying to figure out why I feel so groggy Then I remembered I was woken up at 2:00a for an Amber Alert Love the system, but F that guy for making us all wake up because he wanted to fight with his family

To my friends on the far left Does the second amendment make sense now? Do you see why so many of us have been fiercely protective of it, in the face of no-limits personal attacks and grotesque character assassination? When all other remedies fail, it's all that's left to stop a dictator like TFG

Dear Democrats: Elon Musk is ruining the lives of tens of thousands of good, hard-working federal employees. And he thinks it's a hoot. He thinks it's a joke. Here is your picture. Spend some money and flood the zone so you drive this stupid, gross image into the minds of every freakin' American.

Bad news, America I think we're out of bubble gum youtu.be/Du5YK5FnyF4?...

Thanks ‪@samoart.bsky.social‬ for this great link to job openings in conservation. They post a lot of different jobs, hopefully one in your area.

BREAKING: The Department of Energy said DOGE firings of nuclear safety officials were non-critical staff. That is not true. In fact, one of the officials who was locked out of his work accounts was Acting Chief of Defense Nuclear Safety James Todd.

What’s wrong, babe? You haven’t touched your Eggo-brand alcoholic Appalachian sippin’ cream

He's not joking, but he's also trying to distract us and purge the bad news about the layoffs and Ukraine surrender

Elon, community noted *and* ratioed.

Build. The. Wall! Around Indiana

I bet lots of people are regretting passing laws to encrypt FBI and DHS radios - now agents can do whatever they want and we won't even know it Some will say public access laws cover that FOIA? Pfft, please. That shit was never real. THEY decide what gets released. And they almost always say "no"

Imagine how much safer the city would be if we investigated the criminals the same way we investigate officer-involved shootings I'm not saying don't investigate cops, I'm saying bring this same energy to murder, carjacking and robbery cases But our leaders in Illinois never dedicate resources

Zero issues here with Trump talking to the U.S. team. The bullshit comes when Fox News and others tell me and Kevin Durant to shut and dribble and keep politics out of sports.

I’m cold 🥶

Holy 🤬

I listened to anxious "independents" during the chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal who said it made us look weak in the world. I didn't agree, but I debated in good faith When will MAGA see our current retreat from the world for the softness and weakness that it symbolizes? Or was that all talk?

Father Pence is not having the ‘King’s’ BS.

Brutal. And not wrong.

“In reality, Trump won by less than 1.5 percent and took less than 50 percent of all votes cast. His popular vote margin was one-third as large as Biden’s and the second-narrowest in 60 years. There was no “mandate,” let alone a “massive” one.” @atrupar.com open.substack.com/pub/aaronrup...

The February blues. Here are a few still shots of Lake Michigan from yesterday's (short) outing with temperatures hovering just above 0° #GreatLakes
