I've just learned that Kristi Noem was taken by ambulance from the White House to an old gravel pit on the edge of town, where she is now resting peacefully and awaiting transport to a big farm out in the country with lots of room to run around.

In the spring of 2008, I feared America was on the verge of war with Iran — and, believing that it’s good style to get to know people before you bomb them, I made “Rick Steves’ Iran,” a one-hour special that could (and would) only debut on PBS. Sadly, this special has become pertinent again today.

MASSIVE good news for trans people in the United States. A federal judge has just granted class action status to transgender people looking to update their passports. This means that very shorty, the window will open to update your passports with the correct gender marker.

Some of y'all probably play #Minecraft, and I know some folks follow me for #VR reasons; both of you can enjoy this! I've got a lil' server set up at mc.fsofcabal.com, which is regular vanilla Minecraft... plus you can build your very own TARDIS. Bigger on the inside, and everything.

Reminder that most "red" states have a sizable population who're gerrymandered out of power. Support those who resist!

It's vital to emphasize that the GOP has been calling for violence against their political opponents for more than a decade now, led by Trump. The violence keeps escalating, and they keep doing it because they're getting results.

This is remarkably incoherent even for him. But I especially like the notion that these evil criminals are applying to pick crops and mop hotel bathrooms.

One of the things mentioned here is that they arrived in unmarked cars and wore casual clothing, so if staff hadn’t had the courage to tell them to go away, how would you know they were federal agents and not random adult men abducting children? This should be the biggest conservative mom panic ever

the fact that people were told “today you are going to an elementary school to lie to teachers and kidnap kids” and didn’t immediately tell their bosses to go fuck themselves is all you need to know about why ICE should be dismantled

What this really demonstrates is despite the fact that they all want you to think they revel in being hated, it actually really bothers them and they can't understand why people don't think they're right and thank them for how obviously smart they are.

So one nanosecond after Phil Berger takes over the NC SBE, the agency mysteriously discovers campaign finance irregularities with none other than Berger's primary challenger, who the agency is now going after. Funny how that works, isn't it? www.wbtv.com/2025/06/06/n...

Whooping cough inflicts terrible suffering on young children. I tell new parents to make it a requirement for friends and family visiting a new born, to get a TDAP booster at a minimum or delay visiting until the baby is at least 2months and has received their first pertussis vaccine dose.
