This wasn’t some liberal holdover. This wasn’t a career bureaucrat. This was someone Trump’s team installed. And even she couldn’t stomach what they were doing. She wasn’t alone. Five more federal prosecutors resigned in protest. Bless their courage!
"Some believe it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. It is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love.' -J.R.R. Tolkien The Hobbit, pub. 1937
Even if you don't indulge in Valentine's Day, I have a little something for all my blue crayons on BlueSky!
Imagine if Democrats weren't so scared of the Left and learned how to educate, agitate and organize.
Doing great 👍
I somehow missed this incredible piece by @daveadenison.bsky.social when it came out in 2020. thebaffler.com/salvos/the-m...
Feels like we all need to add as much pro-social, Mr Rogers like activity as possible just as a homeostatic response to all the ambient evil floating around right now.

👇🏻 I see people are still doom reporting the nat’l debt. The ‘debt’ isn’t a debt at all, of course. It’s simply a record of the Govt’s net spend INTO the private sector above taxing OUT. As fiat currency govts freely create their own currency, it never needs be paid back.

Yes, this is real. This is the world we live in now.
A spiral galaxy. It has a bright core with light spilling out. Its disk holds thick clumps of dark reddish dust, which swirls around the galaxy following its rotation. Brighter and hotter stars, shown in blue, speckle parts of the disk. A halo of faint gas wraps around the galaxy, extending beyond the edges of the image.
A small grouping of large stars shines brightly with diffraction spikes, against a background full of smaller stars, glowing reddish and blue gas, and dark dust.
A bright star with four diffraction spikes shines at the center of the image, surrounded by a dark blue ring of gas and dust. Other stars fill the image, all against black space.
Intricate clouds of gas and dust fill the image. Dark brown dust is concentrated on the left side of the image, along with the lower portions of the rest of the view. Glowing green and blue gas fills the rest of the image, with pink stars visible throughout.
another small cleanse before i go to bed 🌌

I’m having this problem with Catch 22 but I really want to finish it just because it’s a classic. I didn’t really like Great Gatsby either.
That’s laughable because their whole party politicized judicial appointments and the Supreme Court
