In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.
Not a dime of taxpayer money or govt contracts should go to Palantir.
Cool. My electric mixer stirs faster than my finger
Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?
@duckworth.senate.gov speaking in the Senate to pass the War Powers Act is giving me a smidge of hope.

A word.
Given the huge early turnout in Hungary odds seem very high that Magyar wil defeat Orbán very decisively; the question in that case would be whether Orbán goes with the Ukrainian electoral interference lie he has been preparing and whether foreign actors support him.

I’m sorry, what?
The cover of the upcoming children’s picture book, TO THE *ACTUAL* MOON AND BACK, featuring a smiling papa bunny holding his smiling kiddo bunny—who’s in turn holding her stuffed carrot—before a big full moon. (And unbeknownst to the bunnies, a UFO zips away behind them!) A wacky-but-sweet out-of-this-world parent/child space adventure that’ll have you and your kiddos laughing—and laughing again every time you hear, “I love you to the moon and back!” Text by Ame Dyckman, art by Dan & Jason (Dan Abdo & Jason Patterson), from the nice folks at Little, Brown Books for Young Readers on November 24, 2006! Pre-order from your favorite bookstore (or Suggest-For-Purchase from your favorite library), and THANK YOU! 🚀🌕&🔙!
If you & your fam/school are digging the #moon coverage, you may also ❤️:

It's not a draft.
From the article: "Trump alone cannot bring back the draft through executive action, as Congress would need to pass legislation to amend the Military Selective Service Act to authorize the president to induct personnel into the military."
This is the Selective Service System.
So tired of all the winning! 👍
Yippee!

Everyone pony the fuck fpr the librarian who just got sacked for refusing to remove LGBTQ books from the kids' section of the library.

RUTHERFORD COUNTY library director LUANNE JAMES 🦸♀️ was just fired for refusing to move kids books into the adult section simply because the board doesn’t like what they’re about.

I wish I was surprised. I’m simply sick to my stomach.
Thrilled that my Congressman, @repbillfoster.bsky.social, came out to our local #nokings protest in Bolingbrook. He was trying to get to as many of the protests in his district that he could.
You’ve got my vote, sir. 💙
