You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

Rockers (and Mockers), help me out with your wisdom please. Songs that have the rising "ah, ah, ah, etc." like "Twist and Shout" include:
"Let's Dance"
"I Love L.A."
"Footloose"
Can you all think of similar?

Though the Justice Dept has deleted information about its Jan 6 prosecutions from its website, a federal judge has issued an order listing and chronicling all of the cases and prison terms

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Warnock: "You have compared the CDC's work to Nazi death camps. You have compared it to sexual abusers in the Catholic Church. Do you stand by those statements?"

RFK: "I don't believe that I ever compared the CDC to Nazi death camps."

November was a binary choice. You can pretend else, but the fact is Gaza and the Palestinian future is now more vulnerable, not less. It's why Netanyahu resisted a ceasefire and hostage release until after the election. He wanted Trump. He got him. The Palestinians will lose.
I voted for Harris and Democrats because I wanted to prevent Trump’s return. But I was revolted at how the administration enabled the Gaza atrocities.

Scolding voters again may be self-soothing. But people in POWER decided sending weapons to kill kids in Gaza was worth risking this election for!
It bears repeating and repeating ad nauseum: If you withheld support from Biden/Harris as a means of advocating for Palestinian nationhood and the aspirations of the Palestinian people and you did not see this moment coming: You are a performative, sloganeering and politically incompetent rube.

Rachel Maddow is right. Tim Walz is right. We need to keep the pressure on high on this administration. We need to hold the line. When we do both, they cave every single time.

Dear Los Angeles Community,

I want to begin this message by sharing my heartfelt thoughts with everyone affected by the tragic Los Angeles Wildfires. These fires, the most devastating in our region’s history, have swept through our community with unrelenting force.

Indeed, weirdly aggressive. For example, I praised the invective of David Simon and somebody slapped me down and told me to "read a book."
There seem to be a lot of weirdly aggressive new members today.

150-200 cables are damaged each year, 15% (7-43) by anchors.

If we assume Baltic maritime activity is 5% of the global total (likely way too high) Baltic Sea ought to see 1.5 incidents per year.

2023 & 2024 averaged at 6 breaks annually, 4 x higher.

Map, visual aid for eyeballing 5%.

Any question relative to a common sandwich pairing, I feel Talia Lavin should weigh in @swordsjew.bsky.social
Petition to serve pickles with more food than just sandwiches. Pizza? Soup? Salad? Tacos? Bbq? Why are we gatekeeping our own joy like this?!
