A fucking Walton (as in the founders of Walmart, people who built their fortune on exploiting the poor and some of the most miserly billionaires you'll ever find) is putting money towards advertising the protests on Saturday. WTF.

This is an outrageous escalation and it's time to start talking about the scary authoritarianism of this administration, not whether Gavin Newsom is advancing his political career or how Trump is "changing the subject" from his disastrous budget. Wake up.

"You really intend to proffer charges?" "I'd prefer violence," said Vimes loudly. "Charges is what I'm going to have to settle for." Feet of Clay

This has been my theory for a while. All he really knows how to do is grift, he still has that animal instinct, and the kids are using him for that.

Okay, that crawl made me laugh out loud twice. Good news for all right-thinking people.

This always makes me laugh

Zookeepers used honey to “glue” decorations to the windows in the orangutan habitat today. Menjadi was a big fan of this technique!

HAPPY TO SEE YOU SIR!

it's definitely america, sadly

Because really what I needed on the first day of summer vacation was a bunch of stress.

Today was the last day of school. Now for the carnage of summer.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

fascists at work. Time to bring cans of soup.

I hear calls for “civility” I believe that many of us are mistaking docility for civility

Resurrecting the old Trans-Atlantic routes.

What amuses me is that Gavin Newsome could have probably ridden this shit all the way to the White House if he’d kept his yap close about trans girls in sports. Now no matter what he does in response to this Trump manufactured crisis, all I’ll ever think is “you raised a kid who likes Charlie Kirk.”

The reason the Seattle General Strike of 1919 lasted as long as it did, was because of the whole community working together to care for one another. The milk delivery men were the only ones who were waived, so as to make sure children were still being fed.

This is batshite crazy (no offense, Batman). It’s WE the People! WE crown no kings here! WE RISE UP! WE sing it loud & clear! Rise up in your community and stand together. www.nokings.org

Watching what is going down in LA (and hearing from family and friends there) I am reminded of lines from the book of Proverbs: Never tell your neighbors to wait until tomorrow if you can help them now. Don't plan anything that will hurt your neighbors; they live beside you, trusting you.

Watching Burt Sugarman's Midnight Special episodes on YT will bring you pleasure. Always. Now here is Sly and the Family Stone on Midnight Special. The jamming... is spiritual. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYCF...

I will say what I have been saying as clearly as I can. We as a country need to collectively prepare for living without a Federal infrastructure. Yes we need to fight to save it, but we also need to prep for a country where it does not exist. I don't think we are ready, and I am afraid about that.

Now more than ever we need members of Congress to stand up and exercise oversight

I have unlocked a dubious achievement. I have eaten a Taco Bell Cantina chicken bowl with my hands because I was so hungry and they did not give me a fork.

DHS Chief: ‘We Are A Nation Of Immigrants Who Came Here Between 1776 And 1943’

It doesn’t get any more peaceful than blowing bubbles.

Save these for your panicky friends and family members. I’ve had adult men come to the verge of tearfully screaming in my face denying this could be true.

As someone who lived in a neighborhood where the rest of the country was convinced was a hellish socialist landscape during the summer of 2020, ya'll blaming the wrong fucking people in LA. Fuck Cops. Fuck ICE. Fuck Trump.

negotiations with the spider in my bathroom are still ongoing
