After what happened to @padilla.senate.gov it is clear what you should be doing:

SAND IN THE GEARS!
1. Deny a Quorum…
2. Block Unanimous Consent…
3. Delay & Disrupt…
4. Blanket Opposition.

Cooperation is collaboration.

NO BUSINESS AS USUAL!!

Anyone else heartily sick of the horrendously violent extremists' attacks in Australia being blamed on anyone opposed to Israel?
Israel is a pariah state. The alleged ISIS sympathising attackers were vile criminals. Both things are true.
Criticism of Israel's actions in Gaza is not antisemitic.

@zeteo.com Compare and contrast Donald Trump's response to Rob Reiner's murder with Biden and Harris's responses to Charlie Kirk's murder.

There is no 'both sides'. Just one side - Trump - that is cruel, sociopathic, unhinged.

I'm putting MISERY on, my favorite Reiner, as I don't know what else to really do.
It's one of the very few movies I would personally describe as perfect. A perfect, perfect thing. The eye of that film's needle is so impossibly small. So easy to fuck up. Reiner threads it.
A perfect, perfect thing.

It's been nearly a month and they still haven't released the Epstein files because withholding exculpatory evidence is clearly what you do when you're "innocent."

ICE unlawfully grabbed our client Rümeysa Öztürk off the street and sent her to a for-profit detention center in Louisiana — all for an op-ed she co-authored in her student paper.

What happened to Rümeysa is part of a broader crackdown on the First Amendment and immigrants' rights.
Tufts grad student Rümeysa Öztürk did nothing wrong. The Trump administration went after her anyway. - The Boston Globe
In March, masked agents swarmed her on a Somerville street. The crackdown on foreign scholars was just beginning.

I'm reading some Batman comics. I don't know about any of you but I will probably always hear Kevin Conroy's voice in my head when I read them. The Animated Series and Arkham games had that much impact on me.

Still processing the tragic news of the loss of Rob Reiner. I'm of the age when he was a huge part of my film-viewing in the 80s, and about ten years ago wrote a piece for the BFI celebrating to my mind some of his finest work. www.bfi.org.uk/lists/rob-re...

Rob Reiner was one of the key people behind the effort to go to court to overturn California's anti-marriage equality Proposition 8 when it passed in 2008.

Working with Chad Griffin, they founded the American Foundation for Equal Rights and got Ted Olson and David Boies to team up to fight Prop 8.

Sen. Jack Reed: "I must remind everyone that we follow the law of war, and because of that, we expect other countries. So that when our service members are in distress, they're not shot up in the water or if they're wounded, left to die. If we don't do it, then we can't expect other countries."

Here’s a sense of where priorities lie.

The White House is “effectively positioning the president to operate [Washington DC’s] public golf properties.” 🤡

Why are people acting surprised that Trump recently tried to intimidate and extort Indiana Republicans when he did the exact same thing five years ago this very month to state Republicans in Michigan and other swing states he lost in 2020 election?

Seriously…
