I cannot stress enough that it is possible to govern well, and to do so in a manner that is broadly accretive.
New Mexico made childcare free. It lifted 120,000 people above the poverty line
The state, which has long ranked worst in the US for child wellbeing, became the first and only in the country to offer free childcare to a majority of families

Eucharistic Prayer C is the best of the Eucharistic prayers. Ol Tommy Cranmer did good work there.

"Lil' Jorts being able to hear is a blessing" I remind myself as a Nazgûl screech tells me my fourth attempt in as many minutes to load the dishwasher has been detected.

UPDATE: ICE is wildly unconcerned about where this man is and no one will tell me, his registered attorney. The universal answer so far is "let's wait and see where he ends up." This is deeply off.

We would have more rights at this point if UPS had lost a pair of shoes I'd just bought from Zappos
My detained client was scheduled for a bond hearing this AM in a MA immigration court. He wasn't brought in, and he and his case have disappeared.

I then received this notice of activity on a nonexistent docket in which his name was changed to "N/A"

It's all happening a lot faster than I expected

Setting aside the absurdity here, taking money from foreigners to state a political opinion is completely legal! Ms. Rachel is not a candidate for office (425 EVs easy)
Gonna go out on a limb here and say sending Ms Rachel to Guantanamo will do the exact opposite of stopping antisemitism.

1 Hear my voice, O God, when I complain; *
protect my life from fear of the enemy.

2 Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked, *
from the mob of evildoers.

3 They sharpen their tongue like a sword, *
and aim their bitter words like arrows,

Long quote 🧵

"Geologists communicated in English; and they could name things in a manner that sent shivers through the bones. They had roof pendants in their discordant batholiths, mosaic conglomerates in desert pavement. There was ultrabasic, deep-ocean, mottled green-and-black rock—or serpentine.
geology has the best words

“the craton”

“dripping lithosphere”

“subducting slab”

incredible work all around
Today in everything is a metaphor, geoscientists have discovered that the craton, the enormous stable rock that forms the core of North America, is eroding away www.jsg.utexas.edu/news/2025/04...

something that stuck with me during Booker's marathon speech: most Dems used the questions sent his way to talk about real people affected by cuts, talk about Trump and Musk, or otherwise be relatable. Schumer's was focused on the GOP maybe going around the Senate parliamentarian on tax cuts

This is everything I have ever wanted from government.
(Somewhere around hour 26)

Senator Booker: "Now, in closing..."

Republicans: *sit up straighter*

Booker: "I'd like to finish with a quote to illustrate my point. Well, more like an excerpt."

Republicans: *start to smile*

Booker: *slams a copy of the Silmarillion onto the podium*

Welp, at least I couldn't watch the Spartans lose cause I'm in the hospital with the toddler. Super fun.

She seems to be okay so far, just waiting to run tests to make sure.

Not gonna lie, I can't bring myself to care about the WH correspondents dinner. It's arguably the reason we have Trump and is just a bunch of self important people congratulating themselves on being important.
