GenXer raised by the public library & PBS. The Day The Earth Stood Still taught me: 1-Scientists are heroes 2-Sharing knowledge serves us all 3-When “authority” is petty, work around it 4-Greed is ugly 5-Ignorance breeds fear 6-Fear makes us stupid
I’m surprised ICE impersonators aren’t already pulling home invasions. When “legitimate” ICE agents are masked and refuse to identify themselves, there’s no functional difference between legal and criminal actions. How’s anyone supposed to know if it’s really ICE?
This! We are going to start seeing news reports of
people being robbed by fake ICE, FBI, US Marshal
agents.

It’s interesting that secret service told reporters the guy who stole Noem’s purse what a white male, then they wait a week and DHS says it was an undocumented migrant but refuses to give any other details.

I’m watching Christine Lagarde answer question after question with calm, cogent, complete answers.
As an American, I’m not used to this kind of behavior from a woman facing the press.
No smirking? Favoring data over “vibes”? Being respectful to journalist?

The #1 PayPal result on Google is a phishing scam! I got email about a surprise PayPal charge. I tried to go to PayPal on my laptop. Passwords app popped up, but the site said I was locked out & gave a phone #. Their help line gave me weird vibes and I hung up. Then, I checked what happened.

Today, while speeding north on I71/75 toward Ohio, a car from Ontario blew past me like a rocket. And I thought, now there’s a guy who does NOT care how many speeding tickets he gets, because he is NEVER coming south of the border again.

It’s very important to teach children that hitting people is wrong.

I don't understand how it's legal for a govt agency to only post public info on one business' social media platform (why hasn't that legally been challenged) but in the interim... some tech savvy group ought to create an app that pulls govt posts from Twitter and reposts it to an app or website.

Hey, @schumer.senate.gov :: you better not be playing cute with your language about stopping the SAVE Act. I hope you intend to VOTE NO ON CLOTURE, as opposed to what you did with the CR when you told us you'd vote no on the bill, but still voted YES on cloture. We are in no mood for games.

I cannot stress this enough! If you don’t know how to hold a weapon! Do not be photographed holding a weapon! It is not a toy! It is not a prop! It is a weapon designed for the purpose of inflicting death or serious harm! You have to respect the damage that can be done by handing it properly.

Michigan attorney Amir Makled was detained by federal agents on his way home from a spring break trip with his family. His only crime appears to be representing a student protestor.

Hi, are you doomscrolling about tariffs?
Have you had something to eat? Is there an offline activity you can do tonight instead, like read a book, compile a list of essential items you need to stock up on, or call an elected official about the recession ahead?
Try not to stay up too late tonight.

Potentially tornadic storm moving right over the Paducah KY radar and NWS office. Hoping it’s not producing. Folks, the staff there deserve all the love regardless. They have worked multiple tornado events this spring already and their office doesn’t even have functioning toilets!
