I have discovered a planet. It is not out of reach. The wind is whispering and has the scent of coffee. Will you go there with me?

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Look! A planet! We could voyage there through a half-open door. It is teeny, with scarlet rings. I want to grow old there.

I see from my skyline that apparently Olivia Nuzzi has a book out talking about her "relationship" with That Worm-Brained Guy. I cannot imagine a world in which I would ever want to read this, and I hope it craters so hard it burns a hole to the center of the earth.

I cannot express how important it is for anyone going through a secured checkpoint like TSA to make sure thier phone is in BFU (Before First Unlock) mode. To enter this state: reboot your phone and don't unlock it.
In BFU mode all data is encrypted and your phone requires a passcode to unlock.

I was just asked for my phone (to swipe the outside for whatever) for the 1st time during a “random” TSA extra screening for a domestic flight - i told them i didn’t consent to a search of the phone, made sure there were no notifications visible & it was locked and didn’t let it out of my sight…

If you’re around Seattle take a look at the water. There are 74 endangered orcas hanging out in Central Puget Sound today. 💕
💦♥️💦 Tue, Nov 11
Yesterday, all members of J, K, & L pod were together inland Puget Sound making for a true superpod!
Today, orcas present in Central Puget Sound, behaving like residents, so looks like at least some stayed over. ♥️

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

Great job, @schumer.senate.gov. You've changed the story from "GOP hurting millions of Americans to please unpopular, failing, delusional despot who's destroying his party" to "Dems are too weak and divided in the face of Trump's strength to take a stand and protect Americans"

This is the message of a failed, feckless, and leaderless party. We need a party with backbone, and the only path to it is through a cleansing primary season. If your Dem is up for reelection, and you aren't damn sure they're fighting the fascists with everything they've got, primary the bastard.

if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets.
no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, should have to give up their pet bc of this.
