Supporting a cornerstone of our democracy like 1A takes work & sacrifice (and I use that term loosely, it's canceling a streaming platform, not volunteering for military service).
Imagine not canceling a propaganda TV station in the 1930s because Betty Boop was your children's favorite cartoon.

According to the New York Times, "The text exchange between Mr. Robinson and his partner was reproduced by prosecutors in the charging document."

This is complete fantasy. Just an absurd made up lie. The EU is not giving Trump “$600 billion to invest anyway I want.” They aren’t giving him 1 dollar to invest. It is just astonishing that a president can go on a financial network and lie like this & it barely registers. bsky.app/profile/atru...

New bombshell from my investigators on Epstein's sex trafficking operation: the Trump administration has an Epstein file detailing 4,725 wire transfers and almost $1.1 billion flowing through just one of his banks. Hundreds of millions more through others.

We played this over loudspeakers during our Semester at Sea homecoming on deck, coasting under the Golden Gate Bridge in April 1984. It brought tears to 300+ students' eyes with our newfound appreciation of what America represented.
Those memories hit now as a cherished memory of a love long gone.

A TEENY break from the hellscape that is our body politic. Noises Off at ISF was on a comedic par with Broadway's Book of Mormon, while Boise's fireworks timed during the second act lent itself seamlessly to the amusing chaos.

A South Asian man from Uganda checking two boxes in a college application isn't a scandal. The NYT pulling stolen data from a white supremacist to smear him in support of another candidate is.

Cute trick, Simpson! You know the big Medicaid cuts don't take effect until after the midterms. You and your buddies are counting getting reelected before voters feel the pain you've caused -- all while stoking hate for our immigrant neighbors who can't enroll in Medicaid.

North Idaho News on Facebook is reporting an active shooter situation at Canfield Mountain in Kootenai County. I am listening to the ISP scanner, and they said they believe someone intentionally set a fire and shot at responding firefighters. That lines up with what people are saying on FB.
