Wow, talk about finding a rarity! This bird is a long way from home!

Venezuelan Migrant Sent to Guantánamo Bay Is ‘Not a Criminal,’ Family Pleads (Gift Article) Luis Alberto Castillo arrived in the United States so that he could “give everything to his son,” said his sister. Then, while scrolling on TikTok, she found out he was headed to Guantánamo.

We only know this man is in Gitmo because Noem tweeted a propaganda photo that included him and his sister saw it. He has no criminal record. He entered the US in January and immediately made an appointment with CBP to claim asylum. They sent him to a concentration camp bc of his basketball tattoo.

red and black squiggly one, paper and acrylic. There are a couple of rectangles of gray paper with heart shapes torn out, then a bunch of red paint lines on top of that, and a little hard to discern, a black outline of a sitting bird, in profile facing left.

This obscure law is one reason Trump's agenda keeps losing in court Lawsuits challenging Trump policies raise big constitutional questions, but they also rely on a law that requires the government to follow the correct procedures when changing course.

Protect this law at all costs !

We never said we would tolerate stupidity & hatefulness.

A gray tabby cat with green eyes sits upright, wearing a blue collar with a small tag. The background features semi-transparent white curtains with a black floral pattern, and the cat is perched on a cardboard cat bed with a lemon design along the edge.

The armed individual who blocked senators from entering federal property bears the insignia of "Triple Canopy", which merged with Blackwater in 2014.

This is a mercenary paramilitary guard for Musk and his minions. *Anyone wearing this insignia should be considered extremely dangerous.*

Every paragraph here is worth an article, if not a book. It is all horrifying.

Rep. @rokhanna.bsky.social : “They are basically saying Congress doesn’t matter… Article 1 doesn’t matter… they can stop spending money for public schools… Medicare… social security… this is literally their theory.”

a good part of me thinks that in addition to everything else, the reason they are scrubbing these stories is they do not want disadvantaged kids to believe they can aspire to anything other than their designated “black” or “hispanic” or “woman” job

Tesla Paid Zero Federal Income Tax in 2024, Despite $2.3 Billion in Income This brings Tesla’s average tax rate over the past three years to 0.4 percent.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.

You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?

Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.

You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

He's not crazy, he's mean & soulless.

He's correct & it was a short trip to get there. 2-3 years. Right wingers understand where we are, I wish everyone else did.

Omg, so happy to see you here!

No. Worry now. They are going to crash our economy. They don't care about the Constitution or legal precedent, they are rogue terrorists & should be treated as such.

None of this shit is funny. Seriously, I hope you all know they are going to crash our economy deliberately. They want to devalue the US dollar so they can use our federal reserve to "invest" in Bitcoin. We are more fkd than anyone realizes. Stop buying 💩 & save your $.

We trapped this 32 yo male Golden Eagle banded back in Oct 1992 in Ashfield, PA. He is a force of nature coming at a live turkey in our bow nets. Now he has a GPS transmitter that is going to show us his migration and hopefully how much longer he lives!

The Papua New Guinea Courier is in rare form.

More Than 40,000 Federal Workers Have Resigned So Far, Short of Target Uncertainty about whether they will get paid not to work through September is deterring employees who face a Thursday deadline for taking a buyout.

It’s not just that the buy-out won’t be honored; it can’t be honored.

They have neither authority nor appropriations to honor the promise. “Fraud in the inducement.”
