Frog and Toad stayed on the island all afternoon. They ate wet sandwiches without iced tea. They were two close friends sitting alone together.

he wanted to provide us a helpful visual metaphor for what he's doing to the country, the least we can do is run on it

and unlike other Trump scandals this doesn't require you to memorize details, you can just show people a picture of the fucking half-demolished White House

Not enough of you believe me right now, but "Rebuild The White House" is going to become one of the most popular slogans in American political history

34 people killed in 50 days. Their guilt or innocence unknown, for an alleged crime that doesn't carry a death sentence. That's a lot of death.

Just stepped off the Senate floor after almost 23 hours.

The fight isn’t over—we need to keep standing together to resist Trump’s attempts to tighten his authoritarian grip.

My friend told me that her 14 year old son started doing laundry on Sundays for some of his elderly neighbors. He doesn't charge for the labor. And now he is the most popular person in the building and has non stop pies, cookies, and cake. The 14 year old should be our model of modern masculinity.

(thx to bsky.app/profile/cali... )

SUMMARY: they rushed through demo during shutdown with zero permits, probably grift for Trump (ofc) but there are two major concerns (beyond obvious horror) & a few actions you can take:

New story day!

"Phantom View" is about a son caretaking for his father, and discovering a blurry person in all their family photos that he has no memory of. The same figure is in all his dad's paintings--and the figure may be in the house with them right now.
Phantom View - Reactor
A disabled son care-taking for a disabled father try to understand the mysterious blur haunting them.

Jeff Merkley now has the six longest Senate speech in history and he is still going strong. As we speak he’s answering a question @hassan.senate.gov just asked.

Even if you can’t actually watch, turn on some recording and have it playing in the background of whatever you’re doing.

There’s 1,000 times more chatter about the Maine senate race in a year than about Maine’s ballot measure in 3 weeks that’d bring voter ID and crack down on mail voting… maybe let’s start there??? boltsmag.org/maine-questi...
A Ballot Measure Targets Mail Voting in Maine - Bolts
Question 1, on the November ballot, would set up a barrage of new restrictions on absentee ballots that would considerably affect older voters and people with disabilities.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

In some way it makes sense not to insure them because its not like these unique items could be *replaced* no matter what the insurance payout. I suppose they could be insured for the lost revenue to the museum, though that would be difficult to calculate.
