Hired a babysitter to watch the kids for a few months. She got bored and got her parents and their rich friends to knock down my shed and build a pool. WTF! Why can't you just watch the kids like I asked?

A Cuban man deported by the U.S. to the African nation of Eswatini is on a hunger strike at a maximum-security prison having been held there for more than three months without being charged or having access to legal counsel under the Trump administration’s third-country program.

@harrylitman.bsky.social if SCOTUS says conversion therapy can't be limited due to speech rights, would that mean lawyers can advise their clients to break the law and CPAs can advise to not pay taxes, both to the detriment of their clients, and have no legal repercussions?

Everyone should read this to understand what the US government is paying for. Don't forget that only 32 of the 238 people sent there had been convicted of a crime and most of those were non violent crimes.

@smerconish.bsky.social your caller this morning saying [Hamas is] "afraid of what Trump is going to do" is the point. People that disagree with Trump are afraid of what he is going to do to them inside or outside the border. He doesn't show his hand; legally or morally it's all on the table.

Had no idea how interconnected this subgenre of Yacht Rock was until watching.

Here’s what Trump’s nominee said on Bannon’s War Room.

"It’s easy to see why Trump sees value in putting a stake in the heart of the intelligence agencies. From his perspective, the risk they'll uncover wrongdoing by him, or the authoritarian leaders he identifies with, is too great"

Routine childhood vaccination rates have been declining precipitously in recent years.

The MMR vaccine is one of the most important. Today 14 states have an MMR vaccination rate for kindergartners of less than 90%. In 2019, just 3 did.

The recent election is proof that we need content like this to reach people.

Authoritarianism is the desire to be incompetent without repercussions.

How Republicans commemorated Thanksgiving in 1869--with a multi-racial/multi-ethnic gathering of people at a table with a centerpiece celebrating universal suffrage and self-government, and with an engraving of Castle Garden, the pre-Ellis Island point of disembarkation for immigrants.

I don't understand the upside for Smith and DOJ. I keep telling myself there's some win from this but I've been let down so much.

Prediction: companies will increase pre-tariff inventories and consumers will increase bulk buying. Companies will increase prices as if tariffs already began because... Profit. Buying will slow, prices will be lowered to get rid of product, production will drop and layoffs begin.

It's been a long day, but a devious one.

This guy popped up on my lap during my Zenni shopping. Those are my frames now.
