This is one of Bernie's people.

How the fuck are these people not talking about how public health is getting destroyed.

Even universal health care cannot fix decimating our public health agencies.

So the Democrats are going to really ignore the CDC stuff and keep pretending they are fighting for health care huh?

11th of Owltober!

An adult Great Horned Owl with an injured wing was caught (after killing two chickens!) at a ranch near ABQ, New Mexico. Was taken to Tijeras for a vet exam then Hawks Aloft for rehab.

Close-up of an exceptionally photogenic Great Horned Owl wrapped in a light grey towel. The person behind wears a black top with white polka dots, and braces the bundle fully with their arms. The owl has flattened plumicorns, a rounded brow, mottled brown and white feathers, and a pair of large intensely-yellow eyes that stare into the soul of the camera.

The people getting laid off are some of the highest-trained and most specialized people in healthcare. They don’t just get replaced by hiring some new people when a sane administration takes over. This is a huge loss for America.

I'm going to start calling essays like this "odes to whiteness" because the underlying premise is that they are like this because they don't anticipate any social cost to smelling bad.

This one is v. frustrating because it tries to lump in perfumes with the broader (problematic) beauty industry

I’m turning 50 next year. I rarely wear deodorant anymore. Many women I know have stopped, too. We don’t talk about it, but I catch it in the air — a faint musk of onion, goat, curry, mustard, salt, sage, fennel, ozone, and the muddy wet marrow of the earth itself. I’m kind of obsessed with this collective stink: the animal symphony of skin, of women being women, punk and unfiltered, taking up space with their scent. Raw, unapologetic BO. The more I live among it, the more I see it not as a hygiene failure but as a radical act of self-acceptance. It’s not polite, but it’s honest — and that feels hot. Hotter, even, than anything a Guess ad ever promised.

apparently when questioned about accepting landlord money from 110 grant resident, elizabeth shaffer says “it’s only $600.” if that’s the case, why not return it? it’s only $600. make a show of it, rejecting money from this slumlord who gave half a million to trump. tell him you reject his values

Rep. Gwen Moore on X.com:

So let me get this straight ... Republicans expect
Democrats to vote for a funding bill when
Republicans are openly admitting that they're
just going to come around behind us and claw
back funding after it's approved?

This isn't a "clean CR," it is a transparent game
of three card monty.

She's quote tweeting Eleanor Mueller who wrote:
On this press call with the House Freedom
Caucus, Johnson tells reporters: "We worked on
rescissions, and there'll be more of that, we expect,
in the days ahead."

JFC. Ron DeHaas, founder of the Christian antiporn app Covenant Eyes, has stepped down from NCOSE after his 38-year old son was charged with sexual abuse of a child.

Covenant Eyes is the app used by House Speaker Mike Johnson and his son to monitor each other's internet behavior.

These are the people Mayor Frey and his allies have aligned themselves with - along with Republican donors - in order to hold onto power.

But we know voters are ready for a mayor and council who put working residents first.

A court found that the “landlord broke the law when he blocked democratic socialists from door knocking.”

Evidence at the hearing included testimony of a Zoom call where former Frey campaign manager Joe Radinovich advised landlords how to “inconvenience and stall candidates.”

Title text: "Malcolm Yards Malcontents Broke the Law" over the text, "During that meeting, Patricia Wall and Joe Radinovich, Frey's former campaign manager, discussed ways to inconvenience and stall the candidates within the confined of the law, testified Kelly Rogers, another attendee. Radinovich did not respond to provide comment." Next to a photo of Joe Radinovich.
