Executive orders are not laws, but when they go unchecked, they WILL become law.

So many bills to legalize the Rapist-in-Chief's just need you to stay home and shut up to succeed RIGHT NOW.

Chicago not letting Portland have all the fun 🐧

Way to keep it silly and NOT TAKE THE BAIT, Chicago!!! ICE Brownshirts and their Nazi Barbie boss lose their manufactured "credibility" with every costumed protestor reflecting how absurd and unnecessary they are.

HUGE LOVE for every frog, unicorn, and every other peaceful protestor.

I got you, girl.

BUT I'm going to give one here for every other asshole who doubts women then makes some version of the "prove it" response every fucking time we make a claim about ANYTHING.

Here you go, jackass.

"The researchers’ transcript review also revealed that more than 90 percent of survivors incarcerated for intimate partner-related homicides had experienced other forms of trauma—such as child abuse or sexual violence—prior to their incarceration."

You and me both, sister.

They also published: "Is Portland a Hellscape? Well It Depends on Who You Ask".

Clickbait trash implying the false equivalency of reporting on "both sides" when one side lying out of both sides of its mouth AND its ass.

I will not signify this propaganda with a link.

Those cops won't quit unless they really don't care about actual service to regular people, and are ready to leave NYC. And if they do, I'm pretty sure the city will be just fine without them. Zoran will have better uses for that budget.

Remember to block unhelpful crap like this, whether it is a bot, a paid troll, or just a spiteful human.

Your cat is gorgeous and the Brownshirts can't even spell "T.R.U.T.H*, let alone tell it.

I don't even know what I'm looking at here. Glad you're ok.

Mike Johnson and the rest of the Congressional Cowards in the GOP are terrified of this woman taking her seat. But then, they are terrified of any women they have to face as an equal, in any context, but especially in Congress.

Time to get over being shocked by anything.

March, or make signs for those who march.

Protest, or bring water, food, and bail money to protestors.

SPEAK OUT LOUDLY ABOUT LEGISLATION, or write quietly to your electeds about it.

EVERYONE HAS TO HELP,
EVERYONE CAN HELP.

Pick one, and do it.

Thank you for posting and for being an entertainment icon, Ms Fairchild!

Please make sure this message goes to your wealthy Hollywood friends and colleagues !The $20 a month I can afford to fight fascism isn't going to cut it.

Celebrities in general have Ben FAR too silent for waaaaaay too long.

Not just fascist. Stephen Miller is a white supremacist Christian nationalist through and through.

Yes, but Bezos' bought the Washington Post. This is the New York Times, which is a publicly traded but really run by this group of millionaires and billionaires who have zero practical journalism experience.

And the account name is bogus. HCR would never call herself a news outlet, despite the fact that she provided 1000% more context than any legit or fake news media outlet.

..as well as its parts inventory and field technicians' digital tool needs.

For me, there is zero comparison. Wind turbines, if they fail, do not run the same risk of destroying whole and multiple ecosystems for multiple generations. Not even close.

Nicole Maron @nicolemaron.bsky.social · 1d

Agreed on your first point !

As for the second: please show me how a wind turbine looks worse than an oil refinery or nuclear plant. Or has more maintenance issues.

In my former tech career I consulted on a system to optimize a nuclear plants' maintenance scheduling and reporting system...1/2

Chinese manufacturing is technically the worst polluter, but yes, in terms of the energy and cheap goods consumption that *drives* Earth-killing business practices, we are absolutely the worst. Our form of capitalism is fuel for environmental murder by corporations around the world.

Well you have to hand it to the NYT. They give up a just little more integrity every day, unlike WaPo, which did so I one fell swoop.

Fuck US corporate media. Get real news and world perspectives that don't kiss our Rapist-in-Chief's ass- I mean, ring.

Pro-tip: If Mike Johnson, any other GOP in Congress, the Heritage Foundation, or the Rapist-in-Chief oppose or approve, then do the opposite.

If Jazmine Crockett, Ihlan Omar, Elizabeth Warren, Sheldon Whitehouse, Jeff Merkley, or Pramila Jayapal oppose or approve, then agree with them.
