PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT

Today's cartoon by Nick Anderson.

"He did not invent gerrymandering, but he stripped away its last remaining illusions and norms. What had once been a quiet, technical exercise became an explicit strategy: redraw the map, lock in power, dare the other side to complain...'

Here is another cab I made from this unknown agate. So far I have heard untreated Botswana and Brazilian. What do think? It is a beauty! #bluewizardrocks #lapidary #cabochon #jewelry

The Epstein files contain evidence about the sexual abuse of women, and especially minors. That was terrible. But there's something even worse in those files: evidence of billions of dollars of corruption. Many wealthy people who were not involved in sex abuse were involved in financial crimes.

We have heard nothing from Pam Bondi or her legal team. She didn't show up for her scheduled deposition, and half of the Epstein files are still unreleased.

We are left with no choice. Contempt charges are coming.

I want to know why they haven't done it yet. 😠

HAHAHA! That response killed me. And it's so damn true.

They paused Oversight Committee hearings the minute we started getting answers about the Epstein files.

Now it’s “roundtables”: no rules, no oaths, no subpoenas.

You do the math. Because the moment accountability shows up, they shut it down. The survivors deserve better.

There seems to be a dispute on this.

So 70’s L.A.

Willie Nelson, Sally Field, Burt Reynolds, Richard Pryor & Robin Williams at The Laugh Factory in 1977.

DENMARK AND FRANCE 🇩🇰🇫🇷 bans all Microsoft products from all public offices.

The phaseout is expected to be completed before autumn 2026.

Their products are being replaced with customer versions of Linux and LibreOffice.

This is digital sovereignty being taken back

Yep, I've been running linux for years. I'm surprised that businesses still run winblows. I ran Debian for a few years, I switched to Mint, but that didn't cut it. I'm running Kubuntu now and love it.

Pete Hegseth is blaming Joe Biden for military vaccine mandates.

The flu shot’s been required since 1945.

Joe Biden was 3 years old in 1945.

The president cannot pass legislation without Congress.

The Congress can pass legislation without the president.

Can someone explain to me. Why do we focus on the presidential race instead of our reps and senators? They are the ones who are supposed to be doing the will of "We the People."

Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia—

AOC: Wah wah wah.

We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no.

What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over.

I once heard a friend say that he didn't believe a woman should be President because we're too emotional. Name ONE woman who has ever gone on a shooting rampage out of anger.

Okay, now I'm crying--a young Massachusetts native fell as he neared the finish line of the Boston Marathon. He tried to get up 3 times, falling back down to the pavement. One runner stopped and helped him to his feet, another joined, and he finished, arms over the shoulders of his two rescuers. 🥹💙

Police say charges will be filed against adults 'who stood by' during shooting in North Carolina park Police in North Carolina plan to charge adults "who stood by" during Monday morning's deadly shooting in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. (WFMY)

Its interesting that regular people can be charged for "standing by" during a shooting, but cops can't (thinking of Uvalde)

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.

So you don't have receipts or keep books?

@dennisgoris.bsky.social

No… Tucker,

you are not welcome, forgiven, excused, or given the benefit of the doubt.

You laughed on TV while children suffered and you did it for years, because the money was good.

You can rot.
