Naturally, 2E & special education only encourage the autismerists that RFK Jr. is trying to eradicate. If we just get rid of Tylenol, vaccines, circumcision, and accommodation for the spicy brain, it will all go away.

Finally, the tyranny of trains and paleontology is over.

What keeps you up at night?

Hunting for the name of the 2003 Eurodance Numa Numa song at 3AM, armed only with half-remembered stanza ending, "hee, hoo, haha," because "Galileo Galilei" kinda fits.

🎶Galileo, Galile-who? Galilei, Galile-haha!🎶

I'm sure the DNC is caving to the famously powerful anti-fa lobby for this event.

Imagine elected Democrats giving a shit what the left has to say. 😆

Yeah, Nancy and Chuck are caving to their Marxist base. 🙄

Mike Johnson: "We're so angry about it. I mean, I'm a very patient guy, but I've had it with these people. The theory we have right now -- they have a hate America rally that's scheduled for October 18 on the National Mall. It's the pro-Hamas wing and antifa people ... "

I'll be impressed when a governor or mayor orders their national guard or cops to arrest the gestapo.

Until then, Gavin's mask law, Kotek's lawyers, and Brandon Johnson's tepid trespassing policy don't impress me much.

The crack team of investigative journalists; Craig Whitlock, Lisa Rein, and @caitlingilbert.bsky.social, have sniffed out the skullduggery of veterans. @washingtonpost.com

Famously known for swindling the over-funded VA, now they'll get their just deserts.

Ezra Klein is a bougie, fash apologist who views politics as fantasy football.

He thinks that imperial genocide just lacks a catchy slogan.

Today I learned that Jane Goodall was still alive and that she kicked the bucket.

I know she wasn't touring or anything, but her vintage stuff was a cornerstone, and it seems odd to review her best-of and b-sides only on the news that she's croaked.

What a 💣 person.

Black-and-white surreal image of two women in old-fashioned Victorian-style dresses and hats standing on a beach, one holding an umbrella, the other raising her hand in greeting. Looming in the stormy sky above the ocean is a gigantic shadowy figure of Cthulhu, with wings spread and tentacles dangling. At the bottom, film-style captions read:
“-Good morning Mr. Cthulhu.
-Morning ladies.”
The juxtaposition of cosmic horror with casual seaside politeness gives the scene a darkly comedic, absurd vibe.

Alejandra is not overselling this. This executive order, if weaponized by a lawless administration like Trump, could lead to the dismantling of institutional/nonprofit opposition to Trump.

It can also be used for surveillance and disruption ops similar to the civil rights era and red scare.

Alejandra Caraballo @esqueer.net · 19d

Trump just signed an illegal executive order designed to target his political opposition by designating them terrorists and using the DOJ, IRS, FBI, and the JTTF to investigate and charge liberal organizations, funders, members, and protesters.
