Happy National Pet Day! Furry friends have long shown their solidarity on picket lines, like the dog picture below, who joined CWA members on the picket line in 1955 in a strike against Southern Bell Telephone Company

Sure, let's disenfranchise every partner who has taken their spouse's name, every trans person who has changed their name to start their life fresh. And for what? (Rhetorical)

Holy crap. Very DPRK

"The government is the place all the problems the private sector won’t solve go.” - Jon Stewart & Michael Lewis discuss why government has to solve problems nobody else will.

In case you're wondering... it's been 17 days since a reporter was added to a Signal group chat where our government officials were sharing war plans. And nobody has been fired... Don't stop talking about SignalGate

Today's smile from my local coffee shop's barista.

Amir Makled sat down with All Things Considered host Juana Summers to describe his experience, and what it could mean for other attorneys who are going against the wishes of the Trump administration.

The world is ridiculous. Here's your moment of zen. #outdoors #outdooradventures

Please help my local independent bookstore @finchandfernbooks.bsky.social, which has seen sales dip because of city construction. #booksky www.gofundme.com/f/support-fi...

Happy Rex Manning Day to all who celebrate! #EmpireRecords #RexManning

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

I did some adventuring this weekend. The bird of the weekend is a Hermit Thrush. I heard a few yesterday on one trail and met another today. New birb for the Merlin Life List!

This made me smile. It also made me sad how coarse and unkind American society has become.

USCIS is accepting public comments on the proposed policy of collecting "social media identifiers" on immigration forms. A bit ironic you can submit anonymous comments on a policy designed to limit people's online anonymity. www.regulations.gov/document/USC...

Once again this guy got super close to us (within 5 meters) only after it got so dark we couldn't get any decent footage. But I at least got some footage of him farther away. It's 40 minutes after sunset by this point so it's still low-quality, but American Woodcocks are just so cute! #birds

Went out for a drink. The bar has Newsmax on. I want to puke.

Yep

Spending more time with Elvis Cole and Joe Pike. #booksky

Universities that rely on federal grants and funding have been hit hard by cuts to federal programs. But even large endowments can’t make up the difference. We explain why.👇

I’ve been sort of idly keeping track of all the points in the Declaration of Independence’s bill of particulars that arguably apply to the Trump Admin. This is the first four-in-a-row I’ve hit. www.archives.gov/founding-doc...
