If you ever want to heal your soul a little, go back & watch the White House correspondents dinner speech where he destroys Trump who has to sit there and take it.

Historically pivotal moment which still holds up as funny and TRUE. Life before Trump youtu.be/lX16OrIVfeQ?...

Every state with a Democratic legislature and Democratic governor could do this right now — they wouldn’t even need to do a ballot initiative. They could do it RIGHT NOW — so please pass it on and spread the word 👇
This is the best political news I’ve seen in a very long time — so please pass it on👇

Each state can limit Citizens United in their own state & they don’t have to wait for other states to do it.

There’s so much pathos in this fragment. A warrior says goodbye to, I think, a parent. Because only this piece survives, we don’t see them, we just see the differing heights of their hands: the warrior grasping his spear, and the unseen figure resting their hand on a stick. Beautiful.

there's a picture of her with the front of her shirt just soaked in blood. imagine trying to crack an 84 year old woman's skull and body slamming an 84 year old vet leaning on a walker.

is this the warrior ethos we've heard so much about?

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important
⚠️ Chinese researchers have invented bone glue that mimics how oysters stick to surfaces underwater.

The adhesive can reportedly repair orthopedic fractures in 2-3 minutes, even in blood-rich environments, and is bioabsorbable.

US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better."

Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better.

Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand.

We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)
