I can't get over how weird this photo is. I love that someone in England captioned it: "Darling, be a dear and DO click on the floor lamp."

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

Kenyan #journalist Alvin Kaunda was reporting live from Nairobi when a curious baby #elephant, Kindani, decided to join the broadcast. The playful elephant stuck her trunk in Alvin's mouth, making for a hilarious moment! A joyful reminder of wildlife's charm and the work of the Sheldrick Trust!

We have to fight every single outrage because fascists rely on us to get tired and let them roll over us.

Just remember all this if there is a catastrophic intelligence failure under this administration. Because they will *immediately* try to crush dissent and offload blame.

If they can’t even keep war plans secure, what about your social security? Your tax returns? Your employment, healthcare information? These people cannot be trusted and we need everyone to demand their federal elected officials do their jobs and hold this admin accountable.

When AOC and Adam Kinzinger are both furious at Chuck Schumer, for the exact same reason, maybe you need to give up the idea this is just a backlash coming from far left activists.

If you’re in the US, you can watch PBS for free using the app. There’s a series of documentaries called American Experience that’s really good—each is about a different event in history.
Go watch The one about the Gilded Age in season 30.
It feels so familiar, it’s genuinely eerie.

I owe an apology to all James Bond movies. I mocked them for having completely unrealistic, cartoonish villains that simply weren't believable.
2025 has made it impossible to levy that criticism anymore.

JD Vance owns AcreTrader, an app that lets wealthy—often foreign—investors buy up U.S. farmland.
Guess who’s deliberately tanking farm economies so JD and his billionaire tech buddies can scoop it up for pennies.
