A picture of Marco Rubio shoes that are too large for him
I’m a grown man who works for the president of the United States who is afraid to not wear the shoes he bought me that do not fit
It is absolutely insane that the US appears to have targeted desalination plants first – putting them onto the board. Iran seems to have already retaliated against one in Bahrain. This is one of the most obvious ways this could spiral.
The journalism @rachelgilmore.bsky.social does is so important and we should have her back.
I continue to be gobsmacked at 1) how common this formulation is 2) how antisemitic and generally bigoted it is 3) and how for all the talk of anti-semitism this is never cited as an example even though it’s quite literally the original incarnation.
Premier Tim Houston calls yesterday's protest by Nova Scotia's arts community a "Raise your taxes" rally "organized by the NDP". From the man who says he listens. Doesn't seem to have heard much yesterday.
Markwayne Mullin has to get confirmed by the Senate Homeland Security Committee, which is chaired by Rand Paul, who Markwayne Mullin recently called a “snake” & said he sympathized with Rand Paul’s neighbor who beat him up.

1.Internal emails from Liberty University Law School, obtained by Popular Information, reveal how the Trump admin hires interns.
Students were informed about "exciting" legal internships at Labor Department.
“You MUST be aligned politically with President Trump… GPA is not a strong factor.”

Ha! I’m not that weird.
Ooh and here’s one that bugs me: TMS = tetramethylsilane, Me3Si = trimethylsilyl.
I’m so weird about these things. Always MeCN. Always DME, never DCM. Never IPA, always iPrOH. 🤷♀️

A child should not suffer or be doomed to painful death because a parent is wilfully stupid or obstinate or loves Trump. And this isn't even about spreading to others. Children are not property. A parent treating them as such is why we're here now.
A Facebook post from Nova Scotia premier Tim Houston with text that reads, “Today we tabled our 2026-27 budget, "Defending Nova Scotia: A Plan for the Long Term". In the face of global uncertainty due to Donald Trump's trade war, this is a plan that controls spending while continuing to invest in healthcare, housing, and growing Nova Scotia's economy.” The text is followed by an image with the headline Budget 2026-27, with two fake book covers with what may be an AI-generated image of a container ship that read “Defending Nova Scotia.”
To the #nspoli comms person running this campaign: I hope the local arts program you’re funding with this terrible day job didn’t get cut, b/c you have skills.
Selling our premier on “defending” knowing literally everyone & anyone could photoshop it to “defunding”? Brilliant.
Appreciate you.

"Trump has no plan for Iran. Just blow shit up, kill some people, and hope for the best. It is the war of a Mad King."
Statement from GOP Congressman Rutherford (FL) actually spelled it “Furry”, twice, in both the title and the body.

If America still had the rule of law, this would be the easiest prosecution ever, but we all know absolutely nothing will happen.

Coming from a culture of people that include organ meats as part of their traditional food because we lived in conditions where society enforced poverty on us and it’s all we could afford: this is what you say to people you’re enforcing poverty on.
Some think that because universities are slow to react to changes in the labour market, governments should intervene and make them go faster in specific directions...never pausing to consider that govts in fact know jack shit about labour market change.
I will die on this hill.

omg this is painful to watch.
The conservative MLAs are useless. Their ridings don't see any advantage because it's Tim's way or no way and they're not brave enough to fight for their constituents. Everyone needs to get loud now, and especially the con ridings.
Good thread.
