If there's one thing I respect about the French, it's their willingness to stare their government right in the eye and announce "Fuck around and find out, man."

"Armed federal agents in military fatigues busted down their doors overnight, pulling men, women and children from their apartments, some of them naked. Agents approached or entered nearly every apartment in the five-story building, and U.S. citizens were among those detained for hours."
"Jones, 27, is among the residents left at 7500 S. South Shore Drive who are trying to piece together what remains after an early morning, high-powered federal immigration raid led to the arrests of dozens of their neighbors at their South Shore apartment building."

This reads like an obituary for NASA because, in essence, it is one. And that breaks my heart. The shutdown is only going to make it worse.

With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

This is Ketya! She's SUPER CUTE. And her unexpected medical bills also contributed to the rough time a friend's going through, which could risk their housing. Can you help Ketya, her fur siblings, and her humans this #caturday? Even if you can only #donate $10, it'll help!

Yo, my dudes. It's officially #caturday, at least here on the East Coast. So why not toss some #MutualAid to a really good guy and the cute little furballs he keeps? If you won't do it for the humans, do it for #cats.

Rest in joy.

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

Remind you of anyone?

April 18, 1775 was the date of Paul Revere's midnight ride. Two nights ago, this was projected onto the face of Old North Church in Boston.

What the hell kind of weird pervert asks a twelve year old girl their opinion on porn? And then when the kid doesn't understand--get this--DOUBLES DOWN AND EXPLAINS IT TO THEM.
“Senator Argall asked Mary, ‘Do you think we should allow pornographic magazines in Kindergarten classrooms?‘ ... ‘Mary looked confused and had to ask, ‘What does that mean?’ He explained to her, in front of the entire audience, that it meant ‘naked pictures of people in books and magazines.”
Pa. GOP lawmaker apologizes for questioning a 12-year-old about pornography at civics event
Sen. David Argall on Thursday issued an apology for his line of questioning with a sixth-grader regarding pornography during a middle school Civics Bee.

Today, I saw a license plate that said "CAPTLSM" and this guy wasn't even driving a fancy car. He was driving a Honda.

I guess "BOOTLCKR" was already taken.

And I will never vote for MAGA shill like you ever again. In fact, can I get a refund on that campaign donation? I'm assuming you have the cash, since some billionaire clearly bought you.
The weeks of performative “resistance” from those in my party were limited to undignified antics.

Voting to shut the government down will punish millions or risk a recession.

I disagree with many points in the CR, but I will never vote to shut our government down.

Hey @fetterman.senate.gov - You can't be bothered to vote against Chavez-DeRemer and still expect us to believe you give a damn about the working class? What's your bullshit excuse for sitting this one out, huh??
were you curious which democrats decided “people who work” was not one of hakeem jeffries’ “pitches that matter” at which one might swing? so was i.

perhaps that pitch mattered to you. you should tell them. you should be so annoying they’re afraid to ignore you.

About 13 years ago we took in this cat who had been so badly abused that he'd growl whenever I pet him. But he also wanted love so much, he'd lean hard enough into my hand that he'd fall over when the scritches stopped.

There's some kind of lesson there, but I dunno what.
