Today Josie got out of the house while workers were here and left the front door open. She explored almost the road when I snatched her up and brought her inside. Shortly after she napped. Enjoy a moment of cat zen.

In this cartoon from his presidency, he’s standing on a shredded Constitution w/a book titled “Judiciary of the US” at his feet

The attack on Mark is another stunt by right-wing grifters to victimize a random person in an effort to use MAGA fear mongering to justify their existence. It should go without saying we should do anything possible to support his family.
I’ve received multiple death threats + doxing (including my home address) directly following harassment from Turning Point USA, Jack Posobiec, Andy NGO, + Fox News which called me an antifa ‘financier.’
I have been forced to move my classes online.

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.
Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.
Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

Bray is a historian at Rutgers who received death threats after landing on Turning Points USA's Professor Watchlist. As a result, he announced he was moving to Europe. And then this happened.
This kind of harassment and abuse of scholars is Charlie Kirk's legacy and it's only getting worse.

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.
We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

They're about to shut down the government to protect the Epstein Files from disclosure. Whatever is in the files must be so unhinged as to be beyond imagination.

First of all, Fuck You, Hegseth. It’s literally the CONGRESSIONAL Medal of Honor. Congress can enact the “Remove the Stain” Act anytime it wants. Not your call Rumbo.
2nd, their place in history is indeed settled, with the Paxton Boys, the Gnadenhutten child killers, and the Sand Creek mutilators.

Trump gets humiliated at the UN, Kimmel returns, he drops further in the polls and just goes fucking crazy at the White House today. Insane new tariffs, Comey, war against his domestic opponents, shutting down the government.
He is losing it, and it’s getting dangerous out there.

1/ I’m Till Eckert, a ProPublica reporter. For the past 2 weeks, I’ve been going to the same NY immigration courthouse.
Nearly every time, I see ICE agents arresting immigrants. Today, a woman was slammed to the ground after begging officials not to take her husband away.

If you want to understand how truly despicable Hegseth’s Wounded Knee statement is, read Heather Richardson’s book. The tensions & military build-up were driven by federal patronage, corruption, factional politics, & the GOP’s desire to control the Western states.
The GOP is worse now.

"A brutal massacre followed, in which it’s estimated almost 150 Native Americans were killed (some historians put this number at twice as high), nearly half of them women and children."

Four years ago, I tested for COVID. I'd had dinner with someone with cancer the night before. Thanks to the vaccine, I did not give that dinner companion COVID. And I only ran a low-grade fever for a few days. Fuck that idiot RFK Jr. and the equally stupid buffoon who hired him.
