I offered Miss Havisham some sushi-grade tuna, which is still sitting on the floor next to her as she strains to reach the old dog kibble in the corner under the cabinets. Girl! #feralcat #garagecat #onedayshellstay

Day 8 without power. Thankfully it’s gotten up to above 40°F and more snow and ice have melted. Power company saying MAYBE I’ll have power by midnight tonight. 😕

Day 5 without power in the NoMich ice-pocalypse. Making a sandwich, singing out “MUSTAAAAAAAARD!” and dancing around to the music in my head to amuse myself.

As of Friday, there have been 46 cases in which federal judges have blocked Trump policies. The rulings in those cases have come from 39 different judges appointed by 5 different presidents (of both parties) to 11 different district courts across 7 different circuits. Maybe it's not the judges?

Listening to what is ostensibly Megyn Kelly’s villain origin story on NYT’s The Daily. All I hear is a downward spiral of self-centeredness and self-indulgence supported by like-minded individuals. Empathy is still the dividing line in this country.

HIRE BLACK PEOPLE PLEASE BEFORE WE ALL FUCKING DIE

How is it that the release date for Taylor Swift’s RepTV, the script of the next Avengers movie, and the formulation of Coca-Cola are all better-kept secrets than US military strike plans?

Choking, strangulation victims 750% more likely to be killed by abuser Took Andrew Tate two weeks back in the US to commit a violent crime against a woman www.nydailynews.com/2025/03/26/a...

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

Who could have ever predicted a 34x felon defying a court order?

We've been saving this little pup for when we thought you all might really need a gold star. And, given the current circumstances, here she is. 13/10

French Senator Claude Malhuret: "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

How do we organize a mass protest where we withhold our tax dollars? Everyone change federal withholding to “exempt” and then come the next tax season just…don’t pay? Someone tax smart needs to weigh in.

And clearly the only one willing to stand up is Al Green. Milquetoast response from the Democrats.

Jesus in jeggings 🤦🏼‍♀️ We are such an embarrassment. 🆘🇺🇸

hey guess what trump's numbers about social security are total horseshit www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

This is so infuriating. He is literally making numbers up and Republicans know it, but they’re smiling and applauding and they’ll go out and repeat these lies and 20% of the country eats it up. What fucking universe is this?

I don't know who this guy is but he's absolute right.

He does this on purpose. Now…watch who starts buying it all up.

Sharing more townhall videos today because they’re giving me hope. THIS is good trouble! Who is this man? I want to shake his hand and buy him a drink.

My sister and I dug through the photo albums to find pictures for my grandma’s funeral next week. This is her and my grandpa are shortly after they eloped in Oklahoma. They were married more than 50 years when he passed. She kept counting though and always said she heard from him every day. 🩷

I lost my last grandmother this week. Three of the four most important women in my life have died in the last 15 months, and I don’t know how much more grief I can take.

I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an “ASMR” video of shackled immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, it’s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over inhumane detention, camps, and deaths

Today’s moment of screaming into the void: WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING WITH PLANES!?!?

Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz reaches back to Tiananmen Square to call on American defiance.

It's not complicated. They're just trying to stop women from being able to vote.

‘You Can’t Let This Happen,’ Says Fundraising Email From Sitting U.S. Congressperson

A truck that has the towing capacity of a land snail and all the ruggedness of a tea cup. Tell me more about how we’re rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse.

not a new observation but Elon Musk genuinely isn't very bright, genuinely has no idea how most things work, and his entire supergenius engineer persona is a tech press-enabled mythology (they've never been held accountable for)

I saw the Kanye ad yesterday (it aired in the Philly market, where we were) but didn't click on the link. Today I found out it went to a website selling swastika T-shirts. This was a Superbowl ad. And it was to a website selling swastika T-shirts. I feel like I'm losing my mind.

JFC! We’ve got a teenager with full access to the State Department’s data—one who joked about wiping servers after getting fired for leaking a security firm’s info to a competitor. What could go possibly wrong—except permanent damage to our top national secrets and the trust of our allies.

BREAKING: In response to doctors' lawsuit, Judge John Bates, a George W. Bush appointee, orders CDC, NIH, and FDA to put back up websites and datasets cited by the doctors in their lawsuit as having been relied upon and pulled down without notice. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This is so embarrassing. We’re not a country anymore. We are three koalas in a trench coat sharing two brain cells.

way funnier than the conservatives who hated Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime show are the conservatives who thought he was doing the ultimate patriotic ode to America

👇👇

And I would.

Are the next 4 years really going to be logging on everyday to sentences like "a 19 year old doge intern called Big Balls has your social security number" because I'm already at capacity for this sort of thing

At this point, I wouldn’t be shocked if I pulled up the news and we’re literally just pushing immigrants out of the back of a C130 over foreign air space.

The Cultists are going to hate it but BEYONCÉ!!!!!!!!!!

THE SCREAM I JUST SCRUMMED FOR DOECHII!!!!!!

A government that deliberately abandons the rule of law is not morally entitled to its protections.

It amazes me that we're going to immolate the economy for no other reason than "the President is an imbecile" apple.news/Ao9oPqfV9Q7O...

Google Maps is going to push an update to rename the Gulf of Mexico for US users in alignment with Trump’s ridiculous executive order. Another app I shall be deleting.

The number of times in a drafting day that I Google my grammar and word choices…I don’t know if that makes me a good writer or an idiot.

It’s Sunday. I already miss the Lions. #OnePride

Do you ever get the feeling that Earth gravity is...a bit much? Tripping and falling should not be as big of a deal as it is.
