The tree that creaked horrendously in 30+mph winds, which upset Pluto terribly, didn't make it through the winds we had yesterday/last night. The tree doesn't creak anymore. It split. Pluto was Much Relieved going past that spot on the way out and back from the trails today.

There is a certain brand of white people who will straight up lie about you or to you and not even bat an eyelid, not because they dont think lying is wrong, but because they think you are so beneath them that their lie doesn't matter. That is pretty much your typical maga voter.

The Trump administration’s attempt to remove exhibits from the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture is a blatant attack on Black history. Erasing our past won’t change the truth. We will not be silenced. #PreserveBlackHistory

Getting pretty tired of the “future historians will say X about this time.” I promise you, PRESENT historians are saying plenty, and you don’t seem to be listening!

The President said of the U.S. economy: "We are a department store, and we set the price. I meet with the companies, and then I set a fair price, what I consider to be a fair price, and they can pay it, or they don't have to pay it." And then... I lost it.

NEW: In a SCATHING decision, Judge Briones of the Western District of Texas absolutely SAVAGED the government over this case, tearing to shreds ICE’s hearsay “evidence” that this husband and wife were in Tren de Aragua as “completely and wholly unsubstantiated” — and ordered their immediate release!

It was never just about schools, it was never just about libraries, and it isn't actually about the books. It's about finding a way to banish entire people, entire ideas, out of society, back into the closet or worse. www.chron.com/politics/art...

Gotta say, when Judge Luttig points out something like this as worrisome...I am bereft. Hope is hard to cling to.

Incredible scoop! Career officials inside the Trump administration first viewed the case of Mr. Abrego like any normal case of a wrongful deportation — they began looking for ways to bring him back, as happens normally when ICE makes mistakes. Then the White House got involved, and blew it up.

ICYMI, I wrote about why conspiracy theories are so resistant to logic gaps and inconsistency. They often contradict each other because their believers don't need them to make sense, they just need them to sound true. themikerothschild.com/2025/04/23/c...

Stories coming from around the country that students are having their SEVIS status randomly restored, just as randomly as it was terminated. Suggests that ICE is either reversing these terminations on a large scale or having actual human beings finally look at cases and make decisions.

DOGE's moves are far more familiar to the average American worker than you might think. It's downsizing. It’s layoffs. It’s control by one annoying guy who, for some reason, is richer than you and is convinced that “working the weekend is a superpower.” It’s government run like a business.

Ok, again. In 2014, when russia launched its invasion, Ukraine held official non-aligned status enshrined in law. Ukraine was a neutral country. This war did not begin because of Ukraine’s NATO aspirations. It started and continues because russia seeks to restore its empire.

Where’s @schumer.senate.gov and @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social ? Mahmoud Khalil is a legal resident of NY—your constituent. You weren’t part of the delegation that showed up—so what are you doing to make this right and to stop innocent people from being snatched off NY streets w/out due process?

I just wrote: "Switching from ICE to DoD Custody: An Alarming Violation of Court Order on Deportations to El Salvador" Astonishing. Read ICE official's affidavit. ICE had the detainees in their custody before turning them over to DOD for transfer to torture in El Salvador. AFTER court issued TRO.

Saying that orange dude can't do something because it's illegal/unconstitutional means nothing. He has committed several felonies with no consequence. Roe was settled law. ICE is disappearing people without due process. He "can't" is a theory. In practice? Not only "can" he but he "is."

Head's up: something's going on with Kilmar Abrego Garcia's case, but we don't know what because the filings are sealed. Yesterday, the gov't filed its status report under seal. This morning gov't filed a sealed motion to stay the court's expedited discovery order. KAG filed a sealed opposition.
