Noteworthy, I think, that the Democratic establishment are putting much more effort into stopping Mamdani than stopping Trump

the legal authorization is that the house and senate are in the hands of feckless wimps who are simultaneously terrified of trump's base and persuaded that he alone know the secret recipe for conservatives to win elections
I will be curious to see what legal authority the administration cites for this unauthorized act of war. Crazy stretch of the facts to fit some existing AUMF or just Article 2 Section LEEROY JENKINS
Trump announces the United States has bombed Iran.

My partner & I were trying to ID a bird we heard while walking and the guy who had stopped his car to let us pass got out and was like "it's a frog, actually. Cope's Gray. I do frog surveys... Sorry" And then got in his car without a word and drove off. Absolute king

They’re cranking up the propaganda machine again: claiming Brad Lander “unlawfully interfered” and that ICE is just “enforcing Trump’s policy.” Reality: Lander stood up for civil rights. ICE’s conduct reflects a deeply troubling use of federal power.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Here's a little tip I learned some years ago. If you can take a photo of Orion, try to get the image out of focus like I did just now. You can really see why Betelguise (top left) is such a well known red giant star. #astronomy #astrophotography

We report in the late morning: we thought the fog would be all gone by now, but it has barely lifted at all. It seems that we have traded the wind for more humidity - certainly a big change. Frost clings to the grass in some spots, making for a fascinatingly crunchy walk.

At least if I get gunned down in the street I know it won’t be for the systemic denial of medical claims, it’ll probably be something I said about Star Wars.

We report in the few loose minutes before dawn, the ones that we all pretend to count carefully as though we were able to measure that stretch of time. We are sitting in the grass with our expert as they take notes, slowly realising they were lying about how dry the ground is.

May as well dive right in.
Did you know that dogs in ancient Mesopotamia also refused to drop the ball?
According to a Sumerian proverb, “The dog understands ‘Take it!’ It does not understand ‘Put it down!’”

disabuse yourself of the idea that distancing yourself from the news is irresponsible if the result of paying attention is just the same but with extra despair. stay close to your friends and loved ones and defend them. you don’t need to personally know every right wing talking point to do that.
