I've been building and installing Corsi-Rosenthal boxes since the southern California wildfires were really bad a few weeks back and they've made a huge difference in my indoor air quality. Really highly recommend, should have done this years ago

Completely aside from the point: if you ever find yourself in the same boat as Lindsey Graham, Josh Hawley, and Marsha Blackburn, consider every choice that led you to that moment and sink that fucking boat

People experiencing pregnancy loss in states with abortion bans told us they wished they had known what to expect and how to advocate for themselves. We created this guide for anyone who finds themselves in the same position.

The National Science Foundation fired all its experts. The National Science Foundation. Fired. All of its. Experts. And they weren't even told to! The leadership worked toward the Fuhrer and went beyond the cuts demanded of them in anticipation of many, many more firings—up to *half* its staff.

saying it again: if there are "conditions" on aid to california, no democrat should vote for any disaster aid of any kind to any state. all states get aid or no states get aid. that's it

I wonder if you can guess, without reading the headlines, which TWO people in this picture just got fired from the Joint Chiefs. Go ahead, take a wild guess. Pick two.

The USPS is not a business. It's a well-liked--even loved--public service. Medicare and Social Security don't earn money either. They are public services. Everything does not need to be about making money. Some things are about making things work for us.

I went to see a really good band tonight. Great musicians. Right up until they played Dixie for their closing number. "This one's for two of my great-great grandfathers." I walked out.

With the return of Reacher I’d like to gently remind some of my liberal friends that there are multiple books in the Reacher series where the entire premise is “local cops corrupt, Feds are lazy and stereotyping”. It’s okay to let people like stuff without the lecture.

I was just wondering if anyone since 2016 had publicly admitted to being wrong about the risk of authoritarianism.

Our new FBI Director sells a supplement that “detoxes other people’s vaccines out of your body.” Sure. Why not.

The funniest part of yesterday's ultrasound was the doctor methodically listing and measuring everything in my pelvis that is super messed up, then tilting the wand toward my left ovary and saying, "Looks... normal." My left ovary would like to be excluded from this narrative.

Since I’ve been getting this a lot - if you feel like supporting me by buying a jersey or something, I would rather you make a donation to Trans Lifeline or The Trevor Project www.thetrevorproject.org

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

Can we just make Yosemite, Sequoia, Joshua Tree, Lassen, Pinnacles and all the National Parks in California into Cal State parks? We can hire the rangers back and take care of our lands. We have 9 of the 63 National Parks here. The park rangers were treated so cruelly, and our lands are forever.

There is nothing more spectacular than seeing someone do the thing they were born to do. When that someone has four-inch legs and a 40-foot tall spirit, it's even better.
