Ex-X. Hoping for a few laughs, including at authoritarians; dog and nature pics; medical and academic posts; and news from trusted sources, not bots and the Trump Syndicate.

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

Jane Goodall was my first childhood hero, as I loved animals as a kid and was inspired by her story. I still remember the National Geographic specials about her. RIP.

Some good news.

London is meeting legal limits for toxic NO2 pollution for the first time – almost 200 years earlier than predicted – following the Mayor’s "world leading air pollution policies," City Hall announces.

The Ultra Low Emissions Zone - and similar policies - really do work.

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance

However, they are weaker than they look…

Dems’ shut-down demands should be as follows:

1) swear in Grijalva now and pass a rule that says all new special election members must be sworn in the next business day after their election win, regardless of party.

2) release the entire unredacted Epstein files.

3) get ALL military troops out

Dear lord this footnote about Kari Lake: her "brazen disinterest in the unambiguous statutory obligations implicates her competence to implement the President’s directives in a manner consistent with fundamental tenets of administrative law."

Shadow President needs to have a light shined on him
Stephen Miller, a man no one elected, is behind the Venezuelan boat strikes which have killed 17 people.

He should not be making military decisions.

He should not be executing strikes that take lives.

Only silver lining? He has no immunity. He can (and should) be prosecuted for his crimes.

Don’t drop the Homan bribe story. It could be the Rosetta Stone for figuring out billions of dollars of corrupt dealing for building out the national surveillance & incarceration system.

Too often, we talk about homelessness as if it's natural or inevitable. The truth is that it's a political choice.

When then-Gov. Cuomo cut the Advantage program rather than tax his wealthy donors, his decision sent thousands of New York families into shelters.

So…let me see if I have this right. The federal government is gonna shut down in 30hrs, and the party that controls the ENTIRE federal government is trying to blame the party that controls NONE of the federal government for the looming shutdown?

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka.

I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws.

Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

and chasing and arresting people because they have a yellow star on their clothes.

More people need to understand that saying only “criminals” should be subjected to expanding state violence around us is what led to the broader public being targeted by it, too. Criminality is subjective, and power determines what it is or is not.
