I’d be more likely to support the mainstream media if they stopped white washing the news and writing headlines to garner clicks and page views.
A lot of journalists are out of a job in our market this week. Subscribe to a newspaper, watch local TV news, support public media. It's vital to our democracy. To all who support local news: thank you.

Jerry Seinfeld Compares “Free Palestine” Movement to the KKK
The comedian said the pro-Palestine movement is less "honest" than the white supremacist group: "I’m actually thinking the Klan is a little better."

See? This is a good political response to what happened (if you must). Acknowledge, but make sure you get in something about how the right is constantly fomenting violence.
Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) on the shooting of Charlie Kirk:
"Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it."

Where were the comments about political violence and detestable acts from the Republicans when a MAGAt hunted and assassinated multiple Democratic politicians and had a list for more? Fuck them. I firmly believe that we are better off when those who celebrate discrimination are dead.

When the Stasi asks for your papers, all you have to do is show them your papers and then they famously let you go on living your life. Easy breezy.
This is a paragraph Brett Kavanaugh wrote on his little computer and then sent out into the world:

Saw moe. for the second time (first was in like 2006) last night. The show was fantastic. Definitely jumping on this bandwagon and not missing them whenever they’re in town. Here’s the only pic I took.

This is trans rights, too. There is no viable position for the Democrats other than “trans rights are human rights.” Trying to triangulate a position where you throw trans people under the bus “just a little” to woo swing voters only feeds the right’s argument that trans people are a threat 1/x

What choice do they have when the governor and general assembly refuse to fully fund RIPTA. I’m done with excuses from the Woonsocket delegation who voted against amendments to add additional funding, even if it had no chance in the House.

This is me chilling, enjoying the camping hammock life. This is also me waiting patiently for the bathrooms to reopen from the one hour they’re closed because I had two huge cups of coffee and a large breakfast.

I also just came to the realization that so many people only think they hate Jimmy Buffett because they’ve (1) never allowed themselves to let go at one of his shows and (2) have never really listened to his songs and assume they’re all just dumb party songs like Cheeseburger in Paradise.

Went to the most random of concerts last night - Doobie Bros with the Coral Reefer Band opening. Ton of fun. Cried a bit during the Coral Reefers (RIP Jimmy). They were amazing and did a fine job carrying on his legacy. The Doobies were fun (I was high), but their voices… eek! Esp. Michael McDonald.

Went to Party with Pride at the Roger Williams Zoo last night. It was an absolute blast. Nothing but smiling faces, tasty beverages, fantastic pretzels, and animals who were happy it wasn’t stupid hot! I took one pic, of this cute elephant. The zoo is a true gem.

Note: either woman would still have done something similar. Maybe not Iran, but definitely bombing other nations. They just wouldn’t have gutted every bit the federal government beforehand.
We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.
