Good information on the International Flotilla happening now.

Brilliant description of our times. Read it. You will be thrilled to enjoy such exceptional writing that’s spot on.
The Brits have such a way with words. You know. Those things with letter that help you define and say stuff about things.

Ok — so this is positively unacceptable. But what I don’t get is the need for the people avidly filming instead of stopping this POS from hurting this poor woman. WTF?
I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Because this administration thinks everyone believes the rules only matter when it helps “your side” (like they do), they are counting on Comey’s unpopularity to normalize this.
Don’t let it. Whatever you think of him or his actions in the past, etc. this indictment is dangerous and an outrage.

Since Lindsey Halligan personally indicted Comey she should personally try the case and not hand it off to someone else. She can show us how competent and qualified she is for this job in front of a jury.

It’s not “His administration “ — he and they can’t administer their way out of a paper bag. It IS “His régime…” however —banana republic be him.
Across the country, special elections keep going against Trump and his allies and that backlash is exactly why his administration is doubling down. The Department of Justice sued six states, including Pennsylvania, the nation’s biggest presidential battleground, in a push to seize voter data.

WTF? These are American citizens who have the right to speak freely AND the right to assemble. WTF?!!!!

If people who know their history keep comparing you to Nazis, the fault is not with the people making the comparisons.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

Kimmel wasn’t fired for his remarks on Kirk—he was fired for using his platform to expose and critique our government. Enough! We especially need large corporations, with the money and influence they have, to fight back. sign.moveon.org/petitions/ki...

This original watercolor of a seal pup so captured the heart of a young girl that her dad just had to buy it for her. So happy “Pup of the Sea” has gone to a loving home. I’ll miss you little one! 🙂

It's probably worth keeping an eye on this Florida politics story. Manatee County is going headlong into a potential fight with Ron DeSantis over local home rule and wetlands buffer provisions that voters explicitly elected them to change.

Pulled lifeless from a commercial fishing net off the Otago coast, the adult female yellow-eyed penguin had drowned in a silent, unseen death.
She was the last known breeding-age female Hoiho from the Sandfly Bay colony.

The Trump admin is moving from denying climate change to rewriting it. Energy Secretary Chris Wright, a longtime oil industry executive, announced plans to “update” past National Climate Assessments, the gold-standard, peer-reviewed reports that lay out the risks of the climate crisis in detail.
