“The wrongs which we seek to condemn and punish have been so calculated, so malignant and so devastating that civilization cannot tolerate their being ignored because it cannot survive their being repeated.”

—Justice Robert H. Jackson, Chief American Prosecutor, Nuremberg, 1946

Anyone who does that fake throwing a ball for their dog thing... well done, you outsmarted a dog. A dog that loves you and really, really wanted you to throw a ball for them.

You should be on some kind of register.

The amount of unvaccinated children my daughters age is frightening. All of these moms think they’re smarter than thousands of doctors over hundreds of years. It’s sickening, it’s selfish and I am judging you as hard as I can.

California and Virginia actually let their voters have a say in redistricting! Did Texas let their voters have a say? Nope!

The quiet way grocery brands are charging you more for less A family of four now spends $741 more a year than in 2020 for the exact same groceries.

Inflation AND shrinkflation. Waiting for prices to "back down" to pre-pandemic levels?

the average family of four is now spending $741 more a year than in 2020 for the exact same groceries, and $41 of that increase is attributable to package-size decreases.

This is your reminder that it's been ten months since the assassination of Melissa Hortman, her husband and her dog, and there hasn't been even a hint of justice for her family, friends or colleagues.

If (and it's a huge if), our country ever breaks free of Trumpism, can we all agree that the Republic Party does not stand for freedom and hasn't done so in decades and decades?

Wind farms and solar looking at the world right now and saying “we told you so”.

Not dissimilar to something I posted a few days back, but do you support home-grown #cannabis, amid concerns around pesticide use?👇🏻

Your government refusing to prosecute sexual predators, but protect them instead, only makes sense when you realize your government is being run by sexual predators.

Driving through Berkeley on the way to the city. Just passed an overpass and the great big sign on it said only, “SHE WAS 13.“

Oh, my, the next overpass had the same sign.

Bless the resistance and everybody who works in it.

Shaheen: "The administration has allowed powerful chips to be exported to China. Can you assure us today that the administration is going to stop those chip sales to China that would advance its military modernization?"

Lutnick: "There is a delicate balance in the relationship with China."

I just finished writing my reflections on tonight's big win in Virginia. I've been fighting this fight for ten years, including three cases in SCOTUS. Tonight we won a big one at the ballot box.

Thank you Thank you Thank you.

Dana Fash forgets to give the "context" that Netanyahu has an ICC warrant, but also I would love for somebody to give a consistent moral argument as to why Hamas is worse than the IDF. The only argument for this is if you inherently believe state actors are morally superior to nonstate actors.

RFK Jr. is the perfect example of someone striving to create a "master race" that he would not be allowed to be a part of.

Estimated redistricting shift so far:

Texas +5 R
California +5 D
Utah +1 D
Missouri +1 R
North Carolina +1 R
Ohio +1 to +2 R
Virginia +4 D

Net: roughly +1 to +2 Democratic seats nationally

Yup.
I’m not surprised, but I still get pissed, at voters.
For everyone bitching about what he’s doing, he’s following Project2025.
If people didn’t read it/thought it was hoax, that’s on them.
No pity or sympathy for America or Americans right now, this is what they wanted.

The Last Woman Who Knew Everything: The Omnivorous Mind of Clémence Royer. When Clémence Royer died on February 7, 1902, she took with her into oblivion perhaps the last human brain that believed in and aimed for Complete Knowledge. She had devoted her life to the propositio...

French polymath Clémence Royer was born 196 years ago today. Now she is most known for her 1862 translation of On the Origin of Species which pushed Darwin's ideas into the realm of human evolution, but in her day she was celebrated for her encyclopedic knowledge.

Another close call at another airport. You know, the right relentlessly hammered Pete Buttigieg about stuff like this when he was in office, saying he was inexperienced and a DEI hire.

But now…..crickets. Nothing about the real world guy.

No Is a Complete Sentence

You do not owe anyone an explanation of why your answer is no. You do not have to justify your limits or apologize for having them. 'No' is not rude. It is not unkind. It is honest — and it is yours to give freely.

Where in your life does a boundary need honoring?

"Whaaaaaa whaaaaaa whaaaaa! They did what *we* did. Only better. NOT FAIR!!!"
