Bainbridge Island near Seattle built its own open access fiber network. As a result, locals see cheaper, faster broadband access than many people in Seattle through 6 different ISPs competing over shared, community-owned infrastructure.
You'd see this model everywhere if the U.S. wasn't corrupt.

🤣 losers!
For the first time, the Kennedy Center Awards were presented in the tiny Oval Office instead of the Kennedy Center For Performing Arts. Donald used his now-vulgar Oval Office for the ceremony to avoid the embarrassment of TV audiences seeing an almost empty theater.

I simply cannot with this.
The r-word is a demoralizing slur that should NEVER be used as an insult. Trump did it yesterday and plenty of otherwise tolerant blue accounts jumped on board using it to describe Trump instead.
Take the pledge below to stop using the r-word. It is wholly unacceptable.

Seem to recall this administration justifying the domestic deployment of troops based in part on the alleged need to protect federal property from damage.

the truth is that this isn't a theocracy and jesus isn't my fucking king
Chip Roy: "The truth is the marxist, radicals, and Islamists the Democratic Party promoted this weekend, they cannot handle the truth. The truth is that there is a king and that king is Jesus. And the president has been willing to say it, & Charlie Kirk was willing to say it & he got killed for it."

Between 8000 and 10,000 people at the Rhode Island “No Kings” protest. Similar events happened/happening across the state. The only previous rally this big was the BLM protest a few years ago.

Another direct hit to MA and Cape Cod. Replacing the Sagamore bridge is long overdue and not replacing it is not only an economic hardship but a huge safety concern.
NEW: White House announces it's going to pause, and potentially cancel, $11 billion in infrastructure funding (via the Army Corps of Engineers), specifically citing cities, like New York, represented or led by Democrats. More to come.
