Everyone keeps calling it a ballroom when we need to start acknowledging that it’s a throne room he’s actually building.

I’m disgusted by the photos of Ttump’s demolition at the East Wing, but I’m even more sickened by the renderings of his mar-a-lago ballroom dwarfing our White House. Once we’re rid of this despicable man, that ballroom must also be removed.

ICE agents greeted by a hero on arrival in New York this evening.

Make statues of this.

A woman in what looks like business attire with a black handbag over her shoulder stands in front of an armed vehicle flipping the bird with both hands. Unfortunately a friend sent this to me, I don’t know who the hero woman is or the photographer

Honey Badger’s goggles are adorable. Or badass. Whichever will not get me stabbed.

I too have “For Life” Dr Martens. Got them in ‘12 and replaced them in ‘20 for just the shipping charge. An absolute bargain.

The “For Life” badge embedded in the heel.

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

Who robbed the Louvre? Right answers only.

Hitter. Hacker. Grifter. Thief. Mastermind. We provide… leverage.

Hero’s of the day - In a small town of Beckley, WV, Kendra Sullivan staged a one-woman No Kings protest. She was confronted, had the police called on her, but stood her ground. She was physically threatened. Police came more than once and protected her right to protest. This is how we do it.

I definitely took a nap between the protests this morning and the party I’m headed to now.

Yup or they’re on a weeknight and I have a presentation the next day at the day job.

The reason gullible people believe all protesters are paid is because they can't conceive of anyone giving a shit about anyone other than themselves.

Marchand pulling the straps off Dahlin’s helmet in the box is wild. No extra penalty there?

US Government accounts have arrived on Bluesky.

Block on sight.

Protect your digital space.

Be aware that the DHS account in particular is known to quote dunk on regular people to encourage their followers to harass them.

The detach quote function will come in very handy here…

Not a key or fancy but FLASH 326 was a cover that *compelled* young me to drop a precious 60¢ on it.

This happened often to #Buffalo grain elevators: collapses, explosions, fires, injuries, deaths.
It is why the industry switched to concrete silos as soon as they were feasible.

A grain bin filled with soybeans collapsed in Iroquois County, Illinois, taking out power lines but causing no injuries.
