this is so profoundly dishonorable

"This is an important thing to think about."

Think how heat could be cut by beautiful canopies along concrete and tarmac roads. It’s a no-brainer!

Turns out the phrase “America First” is preceded by the words “Sell Out.”

Yvonne Fletcher was the police woman’s name. There was quite a long siege of the embassy after that.

He might as well answer in Russian.

A barren canal, more or less, covered with an artificial object is doing a huge amount of good - I love the idea. But where possible nature could be added to the mix. It might be trees, or desert shrubs or whatever. There’s a whole bunch of ideas out there and maybe it’s not always possible.

These things should certainly be thought about, and I hope they are. And some natural trees would be helpful too!

But don’t forget trees.

That was my feeling. I’m surprised at the poster tbh. I understand sane journalists - and us - wanting to find reason and logic in anyone’s actions, but there are none! Except maybe to move the oil price.

Agencies in talks with Trump, family to resolve $10B lawsuit over tax leaks President Trump and his family are suing federal agencies over leaks of their tax information. Court filings say they’re in talks to find a solution instead of heading to trial.

An excellent interrogation by Tim Kaine.

The term “Department of War” should only be used with scare quotes and considerable derision.

The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they're the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive-because of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about "Western civilization," while armed brutes try to tear it down by force.

Really powerful, hopeful paragraph from the latest article in the Atlantic by @adamserwer.bsky.social

❗️In Kyiv, epicenter of the Russian strike fell on the parking lot near Mercedes, Kia, and Ducati car dealerships, where two security guards were stationed.

The men died as a result of Russian shelling. The fire engulfed the area and burned down 60 car

ZOHRAN: “I ran on taxing the rich — Today, we’re taxing the rich… the first ever pied-a-terre tax for second homes worth $5 Million+… $500 MILLION from the richest of the rich to fund child care, etc…💰”

Promises kept.

It's reverse Robin Hood.

Happy Wednesday

BOYLE: The CBO says the big beautiful bill eliminates healthcare coverage for more than 15 million Americans. Are they really all, according to you, illegals and defrauding the system. That's really your position?

RUSS VOUGHT: Yes

BOYLE: That's laughable!

Dear Ukrainians please don’t ignore the air alerts.

Dear god. Very, very serious allegations of mass civil rights violations at the State of Florida's Everglades immigration detention center (officially known as "Alligator Alcatraz").

Yes, Donald is stupid enough to have gotten confused about the Jesus image being “doctored.”

But how stupid do you have to be not to realize that an illustration, as opposed to a photograph, is *always* manipulated by humans.
