No law enforcement officer operating in Connecticut—federal, state, or local—can wear a mask on duty. ICE and CBP agents have to show their faces and badges. And when an officer assaults someone recording them, commits false imprisonment, false arrest, or malicious prosecution, they lose immunity.
No Portillos cake shake?
If not for Trump, what's the emoluments clause for? What's impeachment for? What's the 25th Amendment for? What's section 3 of the 14th Amendment for? What are checks and balances for?
The baddies are cherrypicking the Constitution the same way they do the bible: for their own benefit.
Pelosi didn’t want to share the limelight with a younger, sharper, more charismatic woman.
Here it is, my annual reminder: don't spray spring dandelions with roundup. One flower can be visited by 100+ bees in a day, and your chemicals will kill all of them. 🌻
Maybe it’s just where I grew up, but I associate these guitars with church.
Record Store Day: worst day of the year for people who actually like record stores
it gets lost in the shuffle of constant corruption and bloodshed but even with the memecoin ALONE, that would make him very clearly the most corrupt U.S. president in history, you could easily argue
Underrated fashion critique
I think if this modern era has taught us anything, it's that all the power and money in the world - whether of techbro or would-be autocrat - cannot disguise the deep, powerful, elemental loser energy pulsating off these dweebs.
“Sending abrasive dickhead to negotiate with Iran has backfired”
I love baseball
I suggest you call it “Desperado” just to fuck with the Henleyheads.
I'm the daughter of an Army paratrooper who refused orders during our illegal invasion of Vietnam back in the day. He went to LBJ military jail.
Dad taught his girls this: "Just following orders" is NEVER any excuse for anyone who's complicit in war crimes. You MUST refuse heinous orders.
Love this idea! Have to consider Bill Murray for this, though, after voicing 3D Garfield not once … but twice.

I'd really like to see leadership calling for impeachment and removal, regardless of whether they have the votes to get it done. Same way we called for marriage equality before we had the votes. A leader's job is to lead. If a genocidal threat isn't impeachable, then nothing is.
The famous Andor line is that "tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle." Here is a perfect example of that through malicious compliance: Idaho forced the city of Boise to remove its Pride flags. So the city painted rainbows everywhere else.
Our country’s news organizations can no longer afford to beat around the bush about this. An entire civilization lies in the balance. presswatchers.org/2026/04/ackn...
The rules of asymmetric warfare are even less pretty.
Will he make it that far …?
AWKWARD
Don’t absolve the British Empire of responsibility, though … there’s plenty of blame to go around.
An upcoming Montana ballot referendum would deny corporations the power to spend in state and federal elections.
If it passes in deep red Montana, it could pass anywhere. State by state, this could effectively nullify Citizens United. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1fPbGHe3xE
every time i write about wage theft i do a double take because it's so crazy
corporations steal more than $50 bn from workers' paychecks each year, illegally paying workers less than they earned for their labor
that significantly exceeds the combined losses from larceny, burglary, & vehicle theft
Data says storage prices drops by 19% every time production doubles. You can’t out-compete math this aggressive. This "learning rate" is a one-way street to total electrification: As battery costs crater, EVs become cheapest, and solar/wind becomes reliable 24/7
This feedback loop can't be stopped
Saudi Arabia just activated the largest single solar installation ever built — 300 square kilometers of Neom desert covered with 9 million panels generating clean electricity for 5 million homes from nothing but desert sunshine. The Neom Solar Mega-Complex Phase 2 covers a continuous 300-square-kilometer expanse of flat Tabuk Province desert with single-axis tracking bifacial panels that follow the sun from dawn to dusk, capturing direct overhead radiation on their upper face and reflected desert ground radiation on their lower face simultaneously. Located at 1,400 meters elevation where the atmosphere is thinner and solar radiation intensity 12 percent higher than sea level, the installation generates 4,200 megawatts at peak capacity — more than four nuclear reactors combined from a single desert site. Saudi Arabia's interior desert receives 3,200 hours of annual sunshine with virtually zero cloud cover, giving the installation a capacity factor of 32 percent — exceptionally high for any solar installation anywhere on Earth. The project required 28,000 workers over three years and 47 million tons of structural steel, with panels imported from Saudi Arabia's own new solar manufacturing plants rather than from overseas suppliers for the first time. Transmission infrastructure carries generated electricity 380 kilometers to Riyadh and Jeddah through a dedicated 500-kilovolt direct current line losing only 2.8 percent of energy over that distance. Saudi Arabia plans three additional mega-complexes of comparable scale by 2030, targeting 50 percent renewable electricity nationally from desert solar alone.

Stats in alt are interesting
Why do we drill baby drill? To help Saudis pay for this!

New legislation could spell the end for the creative open-source community that has grown around 3D printing. From medical equipment to cat toys, we can't let innovation be stifled by state mandated censorware. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...
Obeying that “ban” is not how most North American Catholics live in the real world, I assure you, even the self-identifying conservative ones.
