They might find something new on the moon now they've sent a woman up to look.

Is it legal to film ICE agents? Yes. The First Amendment protects your right to film ICE in public, and you cannot be punished for that alone. If you are in a public place, you have the right to record ICE and other agents, as long as you don’t interfere with or obstruct their operations, or break another valid law while you’re filming. If you are on private property, owners can set their own rules about photography and filming.

Our rights aren't up to ICE agents to decide.

Stunning words by Michael Dubois.

Thank you from NC!

How about just pay people.

Can we fire Shumer yet? I tried to contact his office twice and got "try again" messages.

Wow. What's up with white people? Particularly white men.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Actually I know several Dems who have left the party since the current leadership is just rolling over for trump...and they felt it would be better to be unaffiliated than supporting the old "strongly worded statement" guys. Pretty sure they don't have book deals.

Letter from George Bush to Bill Clinton.

Bush’s letter feels like it came from another planet - one where political rivals were still countrymen, not enemies. The ink is only 32 years old, but the sentiment might as well be from a century ago.

To a Life in Despair Don't. Don't go to the bridge. Don't wake in your coat in the morning light and carry those stones into the river. Don't find your father's pistol in the attic, hidden in the family albums. Don't. Don't pour the pills into the whiskey, the walls dissolving like your childhood. Don't, just don't choose not to wake. Stay. Just stay. Tell yourself you'll do it tomorrow. You can always walk alone into the darkness. But not yet. Not yet. Not this soon. I don't have a reason to give you. All I have is the morning, and the autumn wind, and the child you once were in the darkness, looking at the new moon through the ruins, saying save me, save me, save me, and the moon looking back with her vacant face saying I promise, I stone- cold promise that the face of utter hopelessness is the face of something just about to change. —Joseph Fasano

We have people in power making broad claims around certain drugs and autism that have been continuously disproven.

Until there are more people doing something to stop it than film it, this will keep happening.

Ya know, ABC has a "contact us" on their website. Would be a shame if they got so many complaints it crashed it. I know that's not much, but at least it's doing something.

🧵 Fact: #mRNA is a normal part of cells, it acts like an instruction manual to build proteins. mRNA covid #vaccines send cells instructions to build a specific part of the virus. This spike protein can't cause covid but will warn our immune system. mRNA and the protein break down quickly into waste.

Today's a good day to learn Colbert found a new job.

Hope it's a good one for everybody!

Piccone, Elkin, NC...nice wines, stellar view. Next door to Raffaldini.

The nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, the carbon in our apple pies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars. We are made of starstuff.
