This is what plays him off so interestingly against a character like Garak, who considers himself a patriot working for a great good (as he might define it) but does not believe on any level, even for a second, that he's actually a misunderstood good person

Persistently annoyed by liberal refusal to see the longstanding system of immigration, the one that effectively places undocumented workers outside of the protections of labor law and subjects them to racial terror, as a strategy of labor discipline that affects all workers.

If the Sep. 2 boat really had "narco-terrorists" on board, questioning the survivors would have been a way to learn about how the organization worked, where more drugs were stashed, etc. But this isn't a counter-terrorism campaign. It's a shooting gallery with helpless targets.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Remember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.

We Should Have Finished Reconstruction: A Brief History Of American Politics, 1865-2025
While the outcome should be clear from the plain text of the Constitution, the central project of this court and Administration, together, is to nullify the reconstruction amendments
The Supreme Court Friday agreed to decide whether President Donald Trump can unilaterally limit the constitutional right to citizenship granted to virtually every person born in the United States. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I am not convinced that the Supreme Court will come not come up with a nakedly partisan reason to reject these maps but (1) Dems should do them anyway and (2) defy federal court orders to the contrary
Democrats can retaliate against these GOP gerrymanders with new maps in Illinois, Maryland, Oregon, & Virginia.
They could flip 7 GOP seats to make up for this & new GOP maps in Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, & possibly soon Indiana.
Imposing costs is the only way to deter the GOP from doing this

How freaky cool it is that sponges and spongey bone look so similar - imagine a deep sea sponge naturally growing in the shape of a femur 10 ft tall
A lovely cross-section/cutaway through this barrel sponge showing all of the various meandering channels and such! #spongeThursday

The one year anniversary of Yoon's failed martial law takeover just passed and lots of untold stories came out proving that THE ONLY REASON KOREA IS STILL A FREE COUNTRY IS BECAUSE PEOPLE DISOBEYED ILLEGAL ORDERS.
The coup was over in hours because people said no.

This is a BEAUTIFUL kicker. Basically "You argued you have to sacrifice a small population to protect the rights of a bigger population. You, the only transphobe on staff compared to ten trans women, are the small population. Wish granted, case dismissed"

99% of complaints about things being better in the past boil down to "you miss not having adult responsibilities". The other 1% is that everything is manufactured to break after two years now.

These companies who continue to aid Trump must understand that they are nothing without workers and consumers. Buy Nothing.

My bipartisan IRS MATH Act with Senator Bill Cassidy is now law.
Now, if you mess up your taxes, the IRS has to tell you where you made a mistake and how to fix it.
No more spending a fortune on lawyers or hours to find errors.
That means fewer headaches and more money in your pocket.
