a brown wire-haired pup stands on a wooden deck in a grassy yard. he looks at us with golden eyes and his right ear flipped inside out. he has a pipe-shaped stick in his mouth, giving him the appearance of a sophisticated and dapper gentleman. just give him a deerstalker cap and a cloak, and he'd give Sherlock Holmes a run for his money.

This pup found a stick shaped like an old timey pipe earlier today and has already solved three mysteries. 13/10

Here in Aurora, they made *international news* when they showed up in riot gear to kettle a bunch of families listening to violin music on the public park outside the public library and city building, because "fuck you for remembering the gentle disabled kid we killed."

A real president does this.

Thank you to every veteran who’s worn the uniform and carried the weight for the rest of us — just respect 🇺🇸

BIG NEWS: Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva will finally be sworn in as a member of Congress tomorrow.

Here are the Top 5 Dogs of the week!

a small brown dog leaps up from behind a pile of crunchy brown leaves. her eyes and mouth are open wide, and her big floppy ears are extended out like wings to either side.

This is Annie. She freaking loves fall. 13/10 (FB: James Osborne)

This is Minnie. She let out her first ever puppy bark today in an effort to bravely fend off her own reflection. 12/10 (TT: minnieandme11)

Remember how just a few years ago during the worst of the pandemic when we saw how the govt can actually do big things and saw that our collective health & well-being are intertwined, and then corporations got mad that they lost a modicum of power and helped fund a backlash of amnesia and fascism?

The effort to make us forget that Covid forced governments round the world to take fast, effective steps for the collective good is probably greater by this point that the efforts taken to contain Covid.

America *ended child poverty*, then voted to reinstate it because it was off message.

Women's products are not covered either! The woman who cuts my hair helps out at a food pantry. She told me they need Women's personal items because they aren't allowed to use their EBT cards for those either!

1. You can't even get hot food on SNAP, much less use it for nails or "weave". It doesn't work like a credit card. Items that do not qualify do not ring up.

2. Let's call a spade a spade. That right there was not a dog whistle. It is old school pure uncut Reagan era racism. What he said was RACIST.

The average US taxpayer spends $36 a year on SNAP

You know what they spend on corporate subsidies? $670

Poor and disabled people who need food are not the problem

If you’re angry about “your money” feeding people but not angry it’s giving tax cuts to the wealthy?

You’re doing their dirty work.

15 million Americans are going to lose their health care.

Every church should be doing this, and if your church isn’t, you’re at the wrong church.

I am certainly no seasoned strategist but I am a little skeptical of the political wisdom behind building a giant golden ballroom and sharing a dozen photos of a renovated marble bathroom at the very moment that millions of people are losing access to healthcare and food.

It's 31 October. Most people will be thinking about Halloween. Historians, of course, will be thinking about Martin Luther, who nailed his 95 theses to the church door in Wittenberg on this day in 1517. 1/4

the tone deafness is beyond parody

He's building a gold-guilded ballroom to host the foreign officials who come to bribe him, while denying millions of hungry kids food. Just how thuddingly obvious, how over-the-top, how florid & theatrical does this story have to get before the media starts honestly telling it?

You would think that as a Xtian, Johnson would want those files published in order to punish abusers & bring justice/closure to the victims, but then you remember Johnson is a Southern Baptist, which has its own history of covering up abuse & victim blaming, & everything else makes so much sense.

CBS News just gutted its climate team Paramount and Bari Weiss aren't off to a great start. Here's why David Ellison should change course.

Bari Weiss just fired most of CBS’ already meager climate team. But don’t worry, climate change isn’t a big deal any more
