I found out the magic of oyster mushrooms from Yeung Man Cooking, and I've been doing all kinds of recipes with them ever since. Undefeated.

Somebody is going to be pissed I'm saying this, but I'm not altogether mad about RFK Jr. banning Cheez-Its. It's kryptonite w/me failing as a vegan. I ALWAYS finish the whole box. "RFK Jr. Will Ban These 20 Foods" www.msn.com/en-us/health... My dentist may be happy about kicking Sour Skittles.

It is so annoying when #DLHughley complains about Trevor Noah for being South African as though the man didn't live through apartheid and doesn't understand racism. He and Elon Musk are NOT the same. That's like saying Michael Steele and Jess the Mess must be the same b/c they're from Maryland.

I completely agree with this, and with the thread. If you don't discuss racism as a giant motivating factor (not the only one, but a huge one), you can't cover this administration, these people, or their party accurately.

I am 💯 about to make sure my Bluesky is like my Twitter back in 2008: Following the causes and accounts I care about, blocking ANYBODY I would never hang out with by choice, and ignoring all accounts that need you to tell them they are pretty/handsome nonstop. Save the latter for Instagram. 😤🙄

There are THREE strategic, winnable Democratic races in 2025: 1. Supreme Court Judge of Wisconsin, April 2025 2. Gov. of Virginia, Nov 2025 3. Gov. of New Jersey, Nov 2025 You can support all three races, and donate money, no matter which state you live in.

Federal workers launch a new site to share inside information about DOGE www.msn.com/en-us/news/t... Here is the official site link www.wethebuilders.org But when I go to the website, I get an Error 424 link. Accident? Doubt it.

The U.S. Marshals Service has deputized some of Elon Musk’s private security detail, giving them specific rights and protections of federal law enforcement agents, multiple outlets reported Friday. thehill.com/policy/techn... This is usually given to a U.S. Attorney General, not a citizen.

House Republicans who were willing to hold town halls back home this week got an earful. At events from Georgia and Wisconsin to Oklahoma and Oregon, many of them faced hostile crowds furious about the sweeping budget cuts & mass firings of federal workers that Trump and Musk’s DOGE is carrying out.

I've been thinking this the whole time. Same with scientists. Losing your job doesn't mean you suddenly forget all that lab work anymore than terminating attorneys and detectives doesn't mean they forget the legal system. They just don't work FOR HIM anymore. That's it.

So the game plan is to make sure black people are 1) not college-educated, 2) unable to buy homes, 3) unable to defend themselves against questionable appraisals AND discrimination, 4) ban them from federal jobs, 5) make sure corporate america is uncomfortable hiring them. apnews.com/article/doge...

U.S. District Judge Adam Abelson in Baltimore granted a preliminary injunction blocking Trump from terminating or changing federal contracts they consider equity-related. Abelson found that the orders likely carry constitutional violations, including against free speech. apnews.com/article/dei-...
