Retired. Spending my time gardening, hiking, and doing volunteer Lithuanian genealogy work. Lots of trail photos and when I recover, political snark.

Speaking truth can be liberating, and it’s clear Massie is enjoying his freedom.
Massie: “[Speaker Johnson is] trying to say the rich, powerful men who flew to Epstein Island are the victims now. The only way a ‘Christian man’ can stand up there and sell a lie like that is if he’s already decided in his head that protecting them is somehow okay.”

I thought Israel was supposed to be a step ahead in military technology over any other country in the Middle East. So now the Saudis are getting F-35s
Oh, and the White House looks like a Victorian bordello

A tale of 2 monsters going on right now in the White House. Wasn’t it rumored that Jared passed on a list of sources in Saudi Arabia that started disappearing one by one after his visit?

35 years waiting for justice. What a stain on our justice system & our entire society. There should be no statute of limitations for sexual abuse. These abusers should be hounded until the day they die, and if they die before they can be brought to justice their estates should be seized.

Trump filed lawsuits over jokes, tweets, and news articles, but not once over any of the countless allegations of child rape. I feel like more people should mention that.

Two panels commemorating the contribution of Black American soldiers towards the liberation of the Netherlands in World War Two have been quietly removed from a cemetery in Limburg. It follows a complaint by right-wing think tank The Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission.
Op Margraten zijn twee panelen over zwarte Amerikaanse bevrijders van Nederland opeens weg. ‘Past bij beleid van de regering-Trump’

Op de Amerikaanse begraafplaats in Margraten is het opeens stil geworden rond de zwarte Amerikanen die hielpen Nederland bevrijden. Twee panelen die hun bijdrage herdachten – én wezen op hun strijd tegen racisme binnen het leger – werden zonder toelichting verwijderd.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Imagine if President Biden had done this. The media narrative for years was that Biden was too old to do the job & now Trump is literally passing out behind its desk, all we hear is crickets.
