If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

Don't congratulate John Roberts or the Supreme Court.

Congratulate Rick Woldenberg, the Chicago-area leader of Learning Resources, an educadtional toy company that had the courage to sue the president of the United States to save his family business.

As well as everyone else who stepped up.

Anyone who sees Bovino in Rogers Park, let us know. We’re doing ICE watch.

Whistles out. Be on alert. Help protect our community.

"Yeah, I'm going to have a bruise up my side, but anything that we're dealing with out here doesn't hold a candle to ... the people that are trapped in that facility are dealing with," she said. "They aren't supposed to be there for more than 12 hours. They're being held for days or weeks at a time. We need to get it shut down."

Dr. Monarez: “Kennedy demanded 2 things of me that were inconsistent with my oath of office and the ethics required of a public official. He directed me to commit in advance to approving every ACIP recommendation regardless of the science...He said, ‘If I was unwilling to do both, I should resign.’”

Threatening war against a state of the Union is treason. Full stop.

Supreme Court formally asked to overturn landmark same-sex marriage ruling 10 years after the Supreme Court extended marriage rights to all same-sex couples, it will consider whether to take a case asking it to overturn the decision.

This case lays out the crux of the right's beliefs: that America is their special club, for them only. In fact, the Constitution's main thrust is the elimination of such from government, and this is treasonous reasoning, full stop.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

DriveThruRPG delisted a tabletop game about revolutions over “hateful” politics Rebel Scum's censorship reveals the limits of Roll20's apolitical guidelines.

This is the weakest imaginable shit. Roll20 and DriveThru should be ashamed of themselves. And so should the greater RPG hobby if this is left to stand. www.rascal.news/drivethrurpg...

I’m horrified by the murder of two Israeli embassy staffers at an event in DC last night.

The fact that the gunman said he did it to “free Palestine” makes me nauseous. Murdering people for their nationality is never acceptable and this violence hurts Jews, Israelis, *and* Palestinians.

it's important this go as viral as the original story for morale purposes if nothing else. despite the image they project these people are NOT unaccountable. consequences CAN be forced. focused anger and outrage MATTERS.

Look, folks, this is it. The entire ballgame. Either we're a Republic of laws & the Constitution, or we have a dictator. This is fascism, & the impeachment vote should be happening today. Every single university president in the country should be out, in front of microphones, condemning this.

In vast areas of the US, the sentiments expressed in this wonderful letter from a British man about why it's a privilege to pay tax to enable the National Health Service to run would see him probably certified as insane and labelled a "socialist".

If you need a pick-me-up this morning, go listen to what IL Gov. Pritzker said yesterday. Glad he’s not bending the knee.

No, I don't need a bloody copilot for this document, thank you.

Writing is, in no small part, a tool for thinking. If you outsource that element to a machine that cannot think, you shouldn't be surprised if, at the end of the process, neither you nor your reader are any the wiser.

Valheim is a perfect example of this. It sent me on a survival game kick for the last year and a half, but nothing matches the feeling of being in the wild like it does, and that's mainly due to light, wind, and sound feeling incredibly real and reactive.
