Except those are the right answers... 😉

“What kind of administration releases naked photos of victims, and then protects the perpetrators?”

#TrumpEpsteinFiles #EpsteinAdministration

A deliberate act of inhumanity that increases the likelihood of incarceration: because people need to eat, to live. If they're denied the benefits intended to keep them from starving, the state is forcing them to choose between breaking the law, and death.

That isn't justice. It's abuse.

Oh, I see what you mean, now that you say that. Yes, the tail on the special edition is much better. 💜

(I think it's the feathers on either side of the head, that really make me like the "expression" of this one more -- here they're gracefully assertive, rather than sharply aggressive.)

I think I actually like this version more than the "special edition" -- this one has a kinder expression, while still scrappy and determined. 💜

Question: I know you mentioned that these were inspired by the MN Rebel Loon image, but I am wondering -- are you expanding the flock by hand, or via AI tools?

How Donald Trump broke Congress and rendered ‘separation of powers’ meaningless Republicans have largely rolled over for Trump and those who criticized him, like Marjorie Taylor Greene, have seen their political careers all but ended, Eric Garcia writes.

Under Republican leadership, the US Congress has essentially ceased functioning, and certainly failed to perform its constitutionally prescribed functions in national security questions. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

"If great powers abandon even the pretense of rules & values for the unhindered pursuit of their power & interest, the gains from transactionalism will become harder to replicate" -- Carney's speech at Davos is an extended criticism of the damage Trump is doing (though he's not mentioning his name)

This is correct, and it drives me nuts that the GOP doesn't care that Europe will still be here long after Trump is dead.

As Google’s water demands grow, The Dalles aims to pull more from Mount Hood forest The Dalles, a rural city in north-central Oregon, wants to expand its reservoir in the Mount Hood National Forest so it can store more water. While city officials say the water is needed for a growing...

ICYMI, yesterday @opb published a deep dive on a bill proposed by OR Rep. Cliff Bentz that would transfer 150 acres of Mt. Hood National Forest to The Dalles.

People are putting whistles in Little Free Libraries.

Had an intriguing editorial discussion recently: how did people in the past talk about 'minutes' when they didn't have watches or standardised times? How does that affect your thinking?

Come down an Elizabethan/Jacobean rabbit hole with me.

"She made him do it" strikes again. He's not concerned the murder will anger us; he's insisting that saying it was murder and the officer a murderer will anger them and then our fault if they lash out. "She made him do it" is the burdening of Democrats and the left for right-wing/Republican acts.

At a church in Minneapolis that is hosting an anti-ICE singing vigil, which will later process through the neighborhood.

They sing: “This is for our neighbors who are locked inside, together we will abolish ICE.”

It’s been one month since 100% of the Epstein files were due by Act of Congress. Thus far they’ve only released .6% of them and are using murder and war to distract you from this fact.

There's a reason why sports teams don't chant "I believe that we will lose" before a game, a reason so obvious that I'm pretty sure it needs no explanation in that context. Words have power. They not only describe but shape reality; we take vows – spiritual vows, marital vows, oaths of office, become accountable for our words when we testify under oath in court or in Congress or just make a verbal commitment. Our words shape reality when we tell someone they're worthless or valuable, beautiful or ugly, beloved or unloveable, which is a bit like chanting "I believe that you will win." Or lose. A friend of mine reminded me that the word encourage literally means to instill courage; we can do that or its opposite with how we speak, with what we say, with how we show up. It's not the only work we can do during this emergency, but it's an important part of it. It's a big part of how we express a spirit of defiance, of resoluteness, how we act with the knowledge that emotions and attitudes are contagious, be they fear or courage, strength or weakness, kindness or cruelty. Which is why it makes my head explode – picture this head as a volcano and these words as lava – when people surrender in advance verbally, which they do all the time about politics. There's a lot of "I believe that we will lose" on social media and in the news. One way it shows up is when journalists report on some of the rubbish spewing from the mouth of the geriatric clown/felon we have to call president as though his every utterance had the weight of law, as though words will become actions, as though the actions will succeed, as though they will not be met with opposition, as though they believe he will win.

Seems like time to re-up:
There's a reason why sports teams don't chant "I believe that we will lose" before a game, a reason so obvious that I'm pretty sure it needs no explanation in that context. Words have power. They not only describe but shape reality....

The piece is overall pretty good, but this bothsidesism meets waffledom is why the NYT makes so many of our heads explode. It's an incoherent paragraph; I wonder if editorial rewrote something to create this fuzziness about who what where why when.

ICE Confirms Agents Do Not Have Faces Beneath Masks WASHINGTON—In response to legislation that would ban officers from obscuring their identities during arrests and raids, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement confirmed Thursday that beneath their m...

The Onion nailed it:

"ICE Confirms Agents Do Not Have Faces Beneath Masks"

"... seeing a man in tactical gear is far better than seeing a man without a face, staring deep into that empty chasm, and instantly going mad."

ICE rams car in south Minneapolis while profiling Latino driver ICE agents rammed into a man’s car in south Minneapolis Monday afternoon while profiling the Latino driver.

Read this story and decide if this is the America you want to live in.

ICE saw a Latino man driving a car. Chased him down and rammed him. Just because he wasn’t white.

He was just a guy - an American citizen - driving to the auto shop.

Bring Me The News obtained footage showing Customs and Border Patrol agents descending on a Target store in Richfield, arresting two drive-up workers, one of whom shouted he is a U.S. citizen.

At the 1.10 minute mark you can see the immigration agents take what looks to be his phone, and leave it on the ground as they remove him. You can hear a voice saying saying "they got my phone." www.facebook.com/reel/2275283...

There is a longer version of the video of a kidnapping of this kid - there really is no other word for it - here. As he is being shoved into the DHS vehicle he breaks down. At about the 2 minute mark you hear a DHS agent say "wow - fucking child" sarcastically.

Right after Renée Good’s disgusting murder, a ICE goon was filmed kicking her memorial candles.
Absolutely vile.
