Picked up this wonderfully designed character Ka’estraxx by @cardinalgray.bsky.social , an Ukrainian artist who could really use some help. Check out what they have available! Ka’estraxx has already fired my imagination, so many fun ideas.

losing half your support on one of your strongest issues after 11 months of doing everything exactly the way you want to do it would give most politicians something to think about, but miller's calling these shots and he's not a politician
New AP poll has Trump's approval on immigration down to an abysmal 38% as he rants psychotically about "shithole countries," smears Somalis, threatens large-scale denaturalization and remigration, and openly pines for more white immigrants and fewer nonwhite ones

A priest, a firefighter and a professor walk into a bar. They spot a queue near the bar & get in line. They look in shock as a barkeep hits a cop, a lawyer and so on.
"Excuse me, isn't this the line for a drink?" asks the priest.
A horse in front of them replies, "Neigh, you're in the punch line."

Indiana’s Senate has voted AGAINST the GOP gerrymander that’d have locked in a 9-0 map.
This keeps the 7-2 map in place, saving two Democratic seats heading into 2026.
The vote failed big, 19/31.
The MAJORITY of the GOP senators opposed it!

There are two million federal civilian employees. $3,000 per month for each is six billion dollars. From whom are you going to raise a mutual aid fund of that size?
(This is another example where mutual aid does not scale and is not actually a solution to a problem. State capacity matters.)

One wonders how hard it would have been for Dems to fundraise for a mutual aid fund for federal workers. Not hard at all!

Green's resolution is simply for publicly threatening to literally execute members of Congress. Either you think that merits impeachment or not but there's no fact-intensive investigation and gathering documents and depositions to be done about it first. There's no cover-up to expose. He said it!

🚨Judge Xinis finds that, incredibly, Mr. Abrego Garcia was never ordered deported in 2019. She notes that every since this saga began all the way back in March, the government has NEVER been able to produce any evidence that the immigration judge actually issued a removal order.

I read a book on making money in ancient Athens recently (by Michael Leese, it's great), and the Greeks absolutely believed that the endless pursuit of wealth was a serious moral defect and personality issue no different than being a drunk or sexual deviant.
If you make a billion dollars — or $500 million or even $100 million dollars — and you keep trying to make more, then there is something seriously wrong with you. It's a mental illness akin to hoarding or drug addiction.
