agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

Someone just informed me that they find the Oxford comma to be “overrated and unnecessary."

I find such comments to be discourteous, disrespectful, and unwarranted.

Today a D.C. jury found the man who threw a sandwich at a Customs and Border Patrol officer not guilty on a misdemeanor assault charge. @mollyroberts.bsky.social was in the courtroom for the trial and reports on the proceedings that led to the acquittal:
Sandwich Guy, Thrower of Hoagie–Or Hero?
The trial ended in an acquittal. But the proceedings felt like a strange sort of performance art—highly amusing and highly menacing at the same time.

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video.

I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.

But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

They LITERALLY campaigned on making children go hungry as a political statement and they can't figure out why they lost.

Child hunger is a problem in West Virginia: roughly one in five kids don’t have enough food. Nearly every county offers free breakfast and lunch to children because of the state’s high poverty rate, reports @amelianews.bsky.social.

I agree.
I think some people softened on dick cheney bc of his support for his daughter Mary & because Liz has seen trump for what he is this whole time. Also bc people forget the horrors of the Iraq war.

But he was one of the absolute worst people in modern politics and should be remembered as such.

I think it’s more than worth pointing out that Appalachian Power customers in West Virginia and Virginia receive electricity from the same coal plants in WV. However, the Virginia customers’ bills are going down. Why? Renewables. wvpublic.org/story/energy...

That’s in contrast to the company’s April filing in West Virginia, which asked regulators to charge customers $5 more a month to pay for fuel expenses.

Carbon dioxide buildup causes the sensation of suffocating.

No carbon dioxide=no suffocation=no panic

Unconsciousness happens very quickly, & death by oxygen depravation occurs painlessly.*

*Pure nitrogen must instantly replace all air.
*Exhaled breath must be prevented from being rebreathed.
BREAKING: Over a sharp dissent from Justice Sonia Sotomayor, joined by Justices Kagan & Jackson, the Supreme Court will not stop Alabama from killing Anthony Boyd tonight.

Sotomayor tells the reader to count to four minutes on their phone. "Now imagine for that entire time, you are suffocating."
