It should not be lost on anyone that Minnesota Rep Melissa Hortman, who was shot to death in her home last night by an assassin, was a gun safety advocate who worked tirelessly to protect her constituents from gun violence.
Unbelievable

I've made it 3 paragraphs in and already need a neck brace from involuntarily violent head nodding syndrome. I'm in vehement agreement and already have expanded my perspective too.
Anyone know a good central valley chiropractor?
Oh yeah, and read the actual post from @hazelweakly.me
Just do it.
When you have to say it….
I could do worse.

Sir, this is a Wendy’s
Also not beating the “CEOs are the jobs most replaceable by AI” allegations
Eliminating a famous program that cost just $32 million but delivers an estimated $40 billion in annual savings on utility bills just as our nation faces increasing costs & soaring demands has to be one of the dumbest public policy choices on a very competitive list.

Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi went to a consulate in Istanbul to get a document he needed to get married. Instead, he was murdered and dismembered on the orders of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, now a close pal of Donald Trump.
Your daily reminder that the U.S. Postal SERVICE is a service that is designed to benefit taxpayers and not a business that should be expected to turn a profit.
Let it sink in that a student with a legal visa was detained for six weeks just for writing an editorial. In America.
Not to be too pro technocrat, but it is astounding how much this country depended on the selflessness of like a few hundred thousand highly educated public servants who, for peanuts, made sure our food and medicine and environment etc were safe. And in return these servants were demonized.

APOLLO: The Dallas Fed survey last week “shows that the breakeven price for WTI is between $61 and $70 ..

@worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com Hey, we're going to cancel those upcoming Mistweaver changes, yeah?
But I was told Trump would be great for the economy?
Honestly, I don't even know what to say.
This is literally perfect.
Today this is happening in our country, right now
This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

"This bodes absolutely terribly for the industry. It's an admission from one of the biggest and most powerful law firms in the nation that fighting a likely unconstitutional Executive Order in court just isn't worth it."
It's dangerously wrong, not to mention pathetically weak, for the *senate opposition leader* to imply that constitutional crises only reach actionable levels once SCOTUS's authority is violated.
What if SCOTUS is in on the constitutional coup?! Congress is its own branch, not a dependent variable.
There were howls of protest and denial from the GOP any time we pointed out that Republicans want to cut Social Security.
Now the most powerful official in the White House goes on TV and calls it "the big one to eliminate."
Graber’s shirt — which directly copies the style of a shirt that Zuckerberg wore onstage recently — says Mundus sine caesaribus. Or, “a world without Caesars.”
