Man looks like he slept in his clothes.

We're at the cusp of a great new world. But true evil is fighting it.
"Our quest stands upon the edge of a knife. Stray but a little and it will fail, to the ruin of all. Yet hope remains while all the Company is true."

The FCC was designed to be an independent body, not a tool for MAGA allies to target journalists and comedians. Brendan Carr has repeatedly proven he is not fit to be Chairman and should resign or be fired immediately.
Yes. The FEC website. It’s public and easy to use. Track AIPAC puts out false info. If AIPAC is your red line at least use accurate information.
Thanks for asking.
Turning off interactions entirely because this has now made its way into the people who think there's any subclass of people in the world it's acceptable to trap in a floating prison and systematically starve. There is not. Human rights are universal or they don't exist.
If you hadn't noticed, Bluesky had a bit of an oopsy-poopsy today what with the vibe coding, etc. We're reupping this ORIGINAL REPORTED STORY on the failures at a trans homeless shelter in NYC now that things seem to be working better.
The reported likelihood of Amoc collapse has increased from 5% to over 50%. 😬
Again and again, we need to brace ourselves for some of the worst-case scenarios and use our anxiety to drive action.
"I often think about which traditions I’ll continue with my daughter and which we’ll create together. ... I think of her curiosity to learn and how the city that raised me could help her grow, too."

Under Trump, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has been all but destroyed.
That means less oversight of shady financial actors — including the booming "Buy Now, Pay Later" industry.
Former CFPB Director Rohit Chopra explains how consumers are paying the price.
With a final tally of 213-214, the war powers resolution to disengage US forces from the war on Iran failed by a single vote.
Representative Jared Golden of Maine was the sole Democratic lawmaker to vote against the measure. Had he voted for it, it would have passed, handing Trump an historic loss.
You can give me just one of those millions, I promise my viewpoint would bring some diversity to Harvard
Never once has a minority been invited into the room to help with "viewpoint diversity" despite the fact that the only viewpoints that make it into the room require majority buy-in and therefore are from a limited pool majority-supported opinions.
I don’t want to hear Pete Hegseth’s religious pontificating to justify this war or to put the brakes on criticism.
He sounds unhinged.

Happy DC Emancipation Day!
Today, we honor the anniversary of the abolition of slavery in the District and the liberation of more than 3,000 enslaved people.
