Toledo is an awesome city. Close to Detroit. Thriving restaurant scene. Reasonable house prices. Excellent university. There’s a lot to offer in Toledo and I have often thought of moving there.

Evangelical influencer Meg Basham, an admirer of Christian Nationalist big mouth pastor Doug Wilson, doesn’t want the Pope to weigh in on US government policy. The religious wars are heating up. 1/

Witness the elegance of the swimming Feather Star, a crinoid that dates back to the Ordovician era, over 480 million years ago. A true marvel of evolution in our oceans.

Earth and Moon from DSCOVR NASA's Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) aboard the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) satellite captured this unique view of the Moon as it moved in front of the sunlit side of Earth last month. This view shows the fully illuminated “dark side” of the moon that is never visible from Earth. Ian Regan processed this version of the image to account for the Moon's motion.

I hadn't seen this before. This is pretty remarkable.

Hey @schumer.senate.gov - it truly is well past time to retire. Do something good for the Democratic party and the country and step aside.

The problem is the federal authorities have been caught lying on many occasions. It’s time to push back on their narratives.

One does not have to maintain a residence in the subject State in order to vote. Expats have a legal right to vote in the State they last resided in.

Lowering the instructor qualifications seems backwards.

Trump had no moral compass, no empathy, and no integrity.

MAGA holds a protest with a few thousand people in DC and they attack the capital and brutally assault police officers.

Millions upon millions of Democrats hold 3100+ protests nationwide without incident.

That tells you all you need to know.

Ahhh American Airlines... gotta love that deception. If you're so transparent about part of the "flight" being a bus ride, why are so many people surprised? Can we not tell the truth vs. forcing people to read 5pt tiny print?

How American Kids Have Been Collateral Damage in Trump’s Immigration Crackdown Democrats in the House and Senate are digging into the treatment, detention and sometimes even deportation of American children at the hands of immigration agents. Families featured in ProPublica’s re...

The government doesn’t disclose how many Americans are detained, even briefly, during immigration enforcement.

But last fall, when ProPublica found that at least 170 U.S. citizens had been detained, at least 20 of them were children.

One thing I didn’t expect is that BlueSky would become a adense network of mycology. Scratch a user, find a a Basidiomycete. Decades ago I wandered on my fungal foray, lost & alone. Now many walk the path & see the beauty of our planet*

Jon Stewart And Ezra Klein Help GOP Paint Infrastructure Bill Broadband Grants As A Useless Boondoggle We’ve long noted how the 2021 infrastructure bill included $42.5 billion for broadband dubbed the Broadband, Equity, Access And Deployment (BEAD) program. Managed by the NTIA and individual s…

last fall Ezra Klein and the "abundance" folks used the delays in this program to insist Democrats can no longer build anything and just love bureaucracy, but since the Trump admin hijacked the program, caused massive delays, and tried to steal half the funds, they haven't made a peep about it since

Astonishing. The goal of our war is now to undo the effect of the war we started.

Gosh, if only we could rewind to, say, four weeks ago when the Strait of Hormuz was open and normal!

That man is incapable of telling even a modicum of the truth.

I faithfully followed Dr Henry's daily pressers. I was all in until the irrefutable evidence came out about airborne transmission. She couldn't seem to accept that. It was Dr Henry orders surrounding schools that I ended up with my second infection - child brought it home. Dr Henry failed us.

Utah reviewed its voter rolls for noncitizens. It found one. Who never voted The results sharply undercut the narrative of widespread noncitizen voting Republicans are using to promote new nationwide restrictions on voting.

Has anyone asked Utah Senate Mike Lee about this?

Clearly you are not paying attention. I see the messaging everywhere.

The impasse on the appropriation for DHS is over ICE funding. And yet, you don’t hear Republicans trying to sell the importance of funding ICE. They talk about TSA, the Coast Guard, and every other agency, but never mention the one that is the source of the problem. Wonder why?

The Anti-ICE Protest That Could Sideline A Generation Of Activists Eight activists arrested in Minnesota told HuffPost how it feels to be targeted by Donald Trump’s war on dissent — and they have a warning.

New: I spoke to eight people facing years in prison for a protest at a church where a top ICE official is a pastor.

They described arrests meant to intimidate: Battering rams, shackles, trophy photos.

“We’re being criminalized...for standing up for what is right”:

“Nature will allow 1 in 5 human infants to die in the first year of life,” Hill said, “which is why generations of scientists and doctors have worked to bring that number way, way down.”

Any amount of research into past generations shows you that with science we have improved the lot for newborns.

Definitely must watch. We have learned so much over this last year. Maybe not what we wanted, but I believe what we suspected. #PoliticalCorruption

Hit a breaking point? Chicago Heights 'rage room' lets visitors smash plates, printers for a fee

Breaking Point Rage Room opened its 1,800-square-foot space last month and let's customers break items to release stress and anger. Screaming is also encouraged.

I like this idea. Gives an outlet for anger in a safe space.

Seriously- she’s stepped into a cow patty and wonders why there’s a stench?

America’s Diminished Place In The World And The Consequences Of Not Impeaching

It has long been clear: Trump needs to be removed from office before he can inflict even more damage than he already has. But he doesn't just need to be stopped; for America to have a future he also needs to be…

How The Marshall Project Has Used Public Records to Prompt Change The government has stalled on FOIAs for years in some cases. In others, agencies have said public records will cost thousands of dollars.

Media outlets, including The Marshall Project, have gone to court to force agencies to comply with open records laws. However, FOIA isn’t just for journalists. While rules vary across states, almost anyone can file a public records request.
