I like both. I've had variation in the quality and ripeness of both, so that I like to check the product out.

I assume that I had a single dose of live vaccine based on standard practice for my birth year.

I went in to Kroger and asked if I could have a booster. They gave it to me without any fuss.

Donald Trump killed two of my constituents. He is a liar and should be ashamed of himself.

This is amazing but missing alt text, so I'll do a thread with detailed alt text for each of the three pictures.

I often wonder if there was a Trumplike figure in the backstory of the smurfs.

I would offer an amendment that he could have the money, but that it would be in the form of a gigantic Publisher's Clearinghouse-style check that Donald Trump would present him on the steps of the state capitol.

Best gas masks β€œHow did these people go out and get gas masks?” AG Bondi asked.

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump β€” 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

ICE, Trump, Vance, Miller, Bovino etc are the main villains here of course.

But secondary villains include everyone else with political or institutional power letting this go undefended. Everyone who let ICE, and policing in general, get to this awful state. They all have blood on their hands.

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

Democratic leaders need to fear being branded as collaborators more than they fear being called soft on crime

Opinion | I’ve Covered Police Abuse for 20 Years. What ICE Is Doing Is Different.

ICYMI:

Here's my op-ed in the NYT today about Trump's occupation of Minneapolis and other American cities, and why it's uniquely dangerous.

What’s happening is a war of treason being waged by the Republican Party’s paramilitary against the citizens of the United States in support of ethnic cleansing.

They are not exactly laser focused on Greenland if they can also find time to border your constituents in broad daylight, on video.

Indivisible, @indivisible.org, are real organizers and activists actually doing work that AltNPS pretends to do. @ezralevin.bsky.social and @leahgreenberg.bsky.social are the couple who formed Indivisible, and their individual accounts are great to follow.

For about ten years I've thought about what a Tom Waits TV Christmas special produced in the early 80s would have been like. It's almost real to me. The set is a Depression-era shack he built and a stream of celebrity hobos keep knocking on the door and Tom goes "I wOnDEr WHo tHaT cOuLd bE"

I'm not even going to repost a screengrab of his post about Rob Reiner but man it really needs to be said every single day: Trump truly is the biggest piece of shit in the world, a man of absolutely no good qualities and seemingly limitless bad ones. Support for him is just so damning.

Physical mail, land lines, now increasingly even email β€” I find it tragic the way we will sooner abandon a once revolutionary communication technology than regulate* its use by those who seek to sell us junk by feigning familiarity.

*or even cease to subsidize, in some cases.
