Erin is absolutely correct. Vance is absolutely stupid. Turkey is delicious when properly cooked. The same with steak, rice, mashed potatoes, all food. I do miss making my apple bourbon turkey (and the resulting gravy) every year, but being sober is so worth it.
Turkey is fucking delicious and if you don’t like turkey because think turkey is dry then you’re just bad at cooking turkey.

This is being done in the name of We the People.
The first official confirmation that Noem herself made the decision not to turn the planes around. A couple hundred men were tortured as a result — and soon after, the Supreme Court confirmed that the Trump admin’s Alien Enemies Act process was a total violation of due process.
BREAKING:

“After receiving that legal advice, Secretary Noem directed that the AEA detainees who had been removed from the United States before the Court’s order could be transferred to the custody of El Salvador. “

American Christian values. If Christ is real and returned, ICE goons would hand him back to the Romans — if Rome were Old Rome — to re-crucify his ass. Second time the charm?
ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

It's horrendous that I didn't know about this ugly chapter in our nation's history until just a few years ago. U.S. history brims with stories good, bad, and ugly, and they all must be taught. If we don't have full knowledge of where we've been, we'll never gain perspective on where we are headed.
As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

The Trump regime can hide the data on rising joblessness and a decking GDP, but that won’t change the economic slide that Americans are experiencing.

The death of data in America. Or at very least irreparable injuries. All that “winning” with Trump and Project 2025.
New from me: I talked to CDC staffers about the new vaccines and autism page. They said things like:

“The best way I can put it is it feels like we’re on a hijacked airplane.”

“I think people are starting to see that we can’t fulfill our mission here.”

"I put a spell on you because you're mine
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
You better stop the things you do
I ain't lyin', no, I ain't lyin'
You know I can't stand it
Your runnin' 'round
You know better, daddy
I can't stand it, 'cause you put me down…"
There is no pain
You are receding
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying

Headline from @wsj.com: "PG Movies Have Never Been So Popular." Oh, youngins, let me tell you about life pre-mid-80s. Alllll the cool kid films were rated "PG." (And most traumatized the living shit out of us. "ARTAX!!!") #FilmSky #MovieSky #BoxOffice #Movies
Hollywood Is Reeling—and PG Movies Have Never Been So Popular
The PG rating has become the king of the box office. The entertainment business now relies on kids dragging their parents to theaters.

“I don’t know what’s more insane – that the ‘President of Peace’ is starting an illegal war or that he’s giving a get out of jail free card to the U.S. military."

To make matters muddier, the Trump team is banking on "the drugs are targets, not people." 🙄

Secret Boat Strike Memo Justifies Killings By Claiming the Target Is Drugs, Not People

The "scientific orthodoxy" bit is a softball for sure, but the point still stands: RFK Jr. believes in his own bullshit, not science.
Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.
RFK Jr. Says He Instructed CDC to Change Vaccines and Autism Language on Website
In an interview, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cited gaps in vaccine safety research. His critics say he is ignoring a larger point: Vaccines save lives.
