This makes me sick to my stomach. The Secretary of War Crimes really doesn't give a fuck about killing people for no good reason. He's a bastard who should be in prison.

Because I can't stand to have my blood pressure go up that high, I'm not going to read the grotesque opinion today. I'll let it marinate for a week and then read it. ICYMI, the SCOTUS majority has given Trump the win in 90% of its shadow docket rulings. Really? Balls and strikes?

Really? They're going to have to show us pictures of the drugs still on board and give us the names of these "strong swimmers." Were they going to swim to Miami?

I recommend phone banking if you can't afford to donate.
(I donated a couple months ago, but now that I'm an unemployed former federal worker, I have time to phone bank for Aftyn!)

It's all about GOTV. I'm phone banking - if you have an hour and a half in the evening, it's not too painful, and it's always fun to talk to people who are excited about the candidate!

Yes. But there's only so much they're going to be able to wring out of us if we're all ignorant serfs.

Understood. I just sent my 21 yr old to bed because there are only so many ways to say I'm sorry having to go to work sucks, as I've been doing it for decades now. I need my sleep, too, so I can go on taking care of you, child! Being a mom is great except when it's exhausting.

Thank you, brilliant science people who save our lives! I needed three blood transfusions during one of those emergency post-delivery surgeries. Women really do still DIE giving birth.

I once found my father trying to heat a can of beans on the stove - without having opened the can. Whaaa?

Whoo-hoo! Let's hear it for a brighter future, which we can have if we keep Trump and his henchmen from stealing the 2026 elections.

I send appreciation, respect, and love to the journalist community. We need you to be there to help us know what the hell is happening. Thank you, Eric, for your work.

Colonization feels like the original sin. It's a stain that we can never scrub out. Slavery comes from it. Extractive capitalist wealth comes from it. The murder of our planet. Damn, I'm feeling dark tonight.

Talk about a book that will stay with you - The Fire Next Time is that book. Another book that's really started in my head is Invisible Man.

That ruling was breathtakingly dishonest. I'm a lawyer, and after reading it I knew SCOTUS had lost whatever legitimacy it still had.

As was pointed out elsewhere, none of the eight are up for reelection in '26. They're the agreed-on goats to give the rest of the gang cover. Why did Keane just try to get a bill passed opposing Trump's murders in the Caribbean if he was just going to turn around and sell us out? Primary them all.
