I *just* set up my Roku again for the first time in years. If this goes forward, I'm throwing it in the garbage.

This is a particularly stupid and insane thing to do while we have an antivax nutjob in charge of national medical policy. Are there any useful Democrats left or are they all carrying water for right-wing interests?

Based on the package tracking, my preorder copy isn't arriving until at least tomorrow, maybe Thursday. And I can't make it down to the signing at the Strand tonight. (My preorder copy is apparently autographed anyway, so I'll cope, but... *wistful sigh*)

This thread illuminates one of the most irritating nonsense arguments in every single online discussion of crime and/or immigration. There are only a handful of arguments that spike my blood pressure faster.

So, I told my roommate I was sending this today. He told me I should start a postcard-writing workshop. "You could call it 'UpChuck,'" he said.

This isn't anti-DEI - it's retelling history as a story with only white men in it. The tale of the Navajo Code Talkers is essential to understanding the Allies' victory in WWII. Removing it because the people involved were non-white is segregationism.

My two teeny donations moved the needle on this not even slightly, but it's been a nice distraction between rounds of screaming at Chuck Schumer.

weird thing about this framing is that this "personal best" is the second lowest for a president at this stage in their administration. the first is trump in his first term.

Part of my weekend morning responsibilities--in addition to making the coffee/tea and sometimes breakfast--is playing with my roommate's pup (usually while her dad is doing ACTUAL chores). This is more involved than you might expect. She demands one's full attention and high levels of enthusiasm.

#UglyDogs this is not a drill! We have an anonymous donor who wants #IGiveARod to exceed $100,000! They will donate the last $10,000 if we can get to $90,000 in the next 12 hours. We are currently at $79,000 so that's $11,000 for us in the next 12 hours! Can we do this?! bit.ly/igivearod2025

I can't believe this is something I have to even think about, let alone be happy about. It shouldn't ever have been in doubt.

Republicans: [hands giant piece of their constitutional authority and dignity to Trump] Trump: [cackling, starts to walk off] A DOOR SLAMS OPEN. The DEMOCRATS are standing tall in the door, their shadows cast long and defiant. Chuck Schumer: STOP! Trump: ? Schumer: you forgot this piece

For those in your sphere who can still be reached by genuine scientific inquiry.

Literally begging Congress to learn about ANYTHING before opening their damn mouths. Also, maybe consider focusing on the active coup happening before our very eyes. Can't do anything about fentanyl without a functioning government.

New, at Can We Still Govern: Former 18F employees explain what was lost when they it was zeroed out by DOGE. "18F works just how Musk and team pretend that they want government to work. But when his team found it, they destroyed it." donmoynihan.substack.com/p/requiem-fo...
