Joe Walsh just told the story of a 50 year old woman who was adopted at age of 2 in Iran by a World War II veteran and brought to the US, and knows only this country has been issued a removal letter by ICE. I agree with Walsh, does anyone think our immigration system ISNT broken?

Joe Walsh on The Social Contract just said, Trump works for Putin, because he knows that Russia is helping Iran kill American troops and he refuses to condemn Russia & Putin. I can’t argue with that.

I doubt the US military deliberately aimed for a school. More likely is that a rocket went astray or with the proximity they thought it was part of the military headquarters they were trying to bomb. But however it happened, they should take responsibliity!

If only we could have confidence that DOD would honestly investigate it, but sadly we cannot have that confidence.

There is a field of solar panels not far from my house, surrounded by trees and causing no one any trouble. Would even the most MAGA feel that way about a coal plant the same distance from their home?

What’s your EV model? We got a Hyundai Ionic 5 with NAS port and have been very happy with it, other than joining the SUV too big a car generation.

The Netherlands is flat and has bike infrastructure that kids can ride independently on safely. They also have way more transit coverage & more density in cities, which makes the need to bike on both ends of the trip less of a requisit.

Welcome home guy! Soon I’ll be offering you a couple of dates for your traditional June return to Pi and PATACs. Hope you’ll be up for this again, and if we are able to arrange a live meeting, to empty your close and bring your meeting glam!

The ways in which were actively encouraged not to ride bicycles is wild and when you learn that history, along with the fact that roads were originally paved for bikes, the intro to The Wizard of Oz hits differently

Cade Cavalli's total pitching line so far this spring: 6 IP, 1 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 7 K. Fastball has averaged 97 mph. Still 3 weeks to go, but at this point he's on a 5-day schedule that lines up with Opening Day.

For the midterms, this is what President Trump thinks of the people who will suffer when gas prices rise because of the war.

Trump’s Strait of Hormuz Problem

Gasoline prices will β€œdrop very rapidly when this is over, and if they rise, they rise,” he told Reuters yesterday. He added: β€œThis is far more important than having gasoline prices go up a little bit."

Remember when I said NYC Mayor is one of the most powerful executive offices in the country? Honestly a lot of it is this kind of stuff. In many jurisdictions "I'm gonna hire 1000 people for a couple days for $30/hr" would require months hearings and council votes to actually do.

Braised White Beans and Greens With Parmesan (Published 2021)

I’ve just made this cannelloni bean soup cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1021... and the combination of tastes is just wonderful! I didn’t have to use canned beans because I had some dried beans trust I hydrated overnight.

ICE murdered RenΓ©e Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.

We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

Trump is a loser. Bovino is a loser. Miller is a loser. Vance is a loser. Everyone in the regime is a loser. Never let the stink of loserdom wash off of them.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

this reminds me of the way i’ve seen susan bro speak about her daughter, heather heyer. when a fascist murders your child, you aren’t allowed to just grieve. you have to defend their memory, even their very grave.

The killings of Renee Good & Alex Pretti show Trump's DHS culture is rotten to its core.

Trump, Vance, Noem, & Miller have made these agents feel immune from the consequences of their actions.

That must change. Everyone involved in these operations must be held accountable.
