Ocean heating is - literally - off the chart.

We only get to do this to our planet once - front row seats to the greatest fuck-up in the history of our species; brought to us by decades of corporate greed, political corruption & public apathy, & paid for by the futures of children we claim to love.

We used to watch the NBC pregame show on Sunday afternoon Pacific time before the night game. No more. It used to be about football. Now, it is just one long gambling commercial. 👎

Little Shoe Box boots for @nyxonagogo.bsky.social during her first visit. From the video titled Census Nonsense. The census-taker barges in and finds the Mistress of the house tied up and gagged. Instead of rescuing her, he asks weird questions that do not appear on a normal census questionnaire. 🤓

Buried in Michigan's antiporn bill is a provision to effectively outlaw "circumvention tools," such as VPNs.

Mark my words: legislators will increasingly leverage porn panic to restrict or ban VPNs, and to limit internet privacy far beyond adult sites.

Experts raise privacy concerns over Michigan bill targeting pornography and VPNs

Rep. Josh Schriver, the bill’s sponsor, says the law is designed to target only producers and distributors of pornography, not everyday internet users.

This is similar to a nazi republican email received from the Social Security Administration a few months ago referring to the fascist bigoted misogynist orange moron's 'big beautiful bill.'

The Trump-Vance administration is losing the blame game for the shutdown, so they’ve resorted to violating the First Amendment. We sued.

Democracy Forward @democracyforward.org · 10d

BREAKING: We’re suing the Trump-Vance admin for replacing Dept. of Education employees’ “out-of-office” emails with partisan political messages during the federal shutdown.

This use of official resources is both unprecedented and a violation of the First Amendment.
