When the worst businessman in a generation tries to balance a budget, we get nation killing debt. Deporting the people who pay into Social Security also not helping. Not actually bad to have fewer people, & if #billionaries paid their taxes, this problem would vanish www.latimes.com/opinion/stor...

Nice to see the dream is still alive, if buried very very deep. Hopefully to be resurrected soon. laist.com/news/politic...

Maybe they could use the Qatari 747? (dripping with sarcasm) "The Trump admin sends a single 60-pax plane to Cuba every month, unchanged from the past year’s average. It would take almost 700 yrs to send back the estimated 500k Cubans who arrived during the Biden admin" apnews.com/article/cuba...

We send one 4 yo girl to probable death, but keep a woman on life support in Georgia to preserve the microscopic carbon based life form in her womb. Whose lives are more worthy? Reminds me of Kenneth Feinberg, who had to put a $ amount to 3000 lives lost in 9/11 www.latimes.com/california/s...

Hey @stephencolbert.bsky.social & @colbertlateshow.bsky.social wonder if you could highlight this beautiful #GermanShepherd story. Currently in #SF. In need of new surroundings preferably w a human who WFH or is just at home more. TIA!! m.facebook.com/story.php?st...

First chocolate, which was already going up in price due to climate change. Next will be coffee, also affected by climate change. Not sure how anybody in America will get any work done. Maybe Elon will offer everyone some ketamine..... www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

America is about to find out. Car seats costing a $100 more....means....kids don't go in the car? People take public transport? The Black Market? Hand me downs? #TrumpTariffsWillRuinTheEconomy www.latimes.com/business/sto...

This dog politely asked for a musician's drumstick in the middle of their performance. Always excited to find a fellow stick lover. 12/10

They've now made clear the Qatari plane is officially a bribe. Trump gets to take it with him for his personal use after he leaves office. The Times is really not being clear with readers abt how prez libraries work. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/qatar...

Since I administered the WH emoluments rules, let me explain why this is forbidden Trump expressed interest in it before it was offered He is going to use & benefit from it a while in office And he's going to keep using it after he leaves! Functionally, it's a gift to him & so it's illegal

If they didn't need females to procreate, they'd probably round them up and deport them too. www.zocalopublicsquare.org/my-moms-love...

Buttigieg: Like I love A1 steak sauce, but A1 steak sauce is not one of the most important things confronting humanity right now. Artificial intelligence is. And somebody who doesn't understand that probably should not be leading an important federal agency.

" #ElonMusk, the richest man in the world, is using his immense power to support the far-right in Europe, & his money comes from #Tesla cars Well I’ve got this message for Mr Musk. We’ve crushed #fascism before & we’ll crush it again" • ⁠⁠WW2 veteran Ken, 98, in the tank #4R youtu.be/lw4ZjhOukwU

Hoping Canada annexes the US soon "“On average, how many Canadian patients on a waiting list die each year, do you know?” Burr asked Martin. “I don’t, sir, but I do know that there are 45,000 in America who die waiting because they don’t have insurance at all” www.latimes.com/business/sto...

We don't seem to have a problem off-shoring scientific research... Sigh. #SoMuchWinning www.business-standard.com/world-news/g...

It was always a myth…

The worst thing you can do right now is hide or go quiet. Stand up and talk back.

One of my favourite UK independent booksellers...Beerwolf Books in Falmouth #independentbookstoreday #indiebookstoreday

It’s INDIE BOOKSTORE DAY!!! I have lots of things I’m still wading through writing wise, but I have to take time & spotlight some of my favorites: @tenebrouspress.bsky.social @ghoulish.bsky.social @encyclopub.bsky.social Bookshop.org And my local-ish one that specializes in signed first editions!

So, the US Govt was worried about losing money on bond interest, since that money actually gets collected. Whereas, nobody's actually collecting any tariffs. & people have just stopped importing stuff, period. Whole shipments canceled Thanks America! & Thanks @svaneksmith.bsky.social 4 the info

Does not sound like this is in anybody's interest. Sounds like more Americans are in danger of dying without her tech, than because she "failed to declare" some frog embryos www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Pianos, horses, murals and so much more 🐙 I had a lovely time wandering around Sunset Dunes, San Francisco's newest park along the Great Highway. It officially opens April 12, so check out @peterhartlaub.bsky.social's guide before you go! bit.ly/4lK0c4L @sfchronicle.com

❤️ Coach Kerr!!!!!! Thank you!!!!

Amazing article by @peterhartlaub.bsky.social using photos taken by "early drone technology" following the devastating 1906 San Francisco Earthquake. And yet...she arose from the ashes..... And some buildings survived...in skeletal form

Thank you @peterhartlaub.bsky.social ! Feeling proud! And a little verklempt ...

Damn straight! (wait....on second thought..;))

So they named their kid after a historical figure who murdered his brother.

This picture may haunt me to the end of my days. It is an ICE agent taking an axe to the car window of an immigrant in New Bedford, MA. Not far from where I sit now. An immigrant with no criminal record was abducted by this smiling man. An axe taken to a car window and to our democracy. 1/ #MomSky

Hopefully the kids (& PBS & NPR) survive. They may be our salvation "Secty of HHS RFK Jr's history of promoting the anti-vax cause alongside questionable alternative medicines has public health officials, parents & even the MAHA constituency on edge" www.npr.org/transcripts/... #publichealth
