The Greenland fixation feels like a personal insult to anyone who's spent more than about five minutes thinking about national security. "Hey, let's demolish our most valuable alliance so we can get get access to arctic territory we already have access to!"

(And for those who are not Jewish: a small touch is to give in multiples of $18 rather than rounding to the nearest $5 or $10, because 18 is the number associated with life.)

(Letting you know so you can be braced for it, and because some of the headlines and link card snippets are not clear there were no injuries. Two Torah scrolls were destroyed and several were damaged, but the one that survived the Holocaust is fine because it was in a glass case.)

My Jewish friends, be warned there's articles going around about an arson in a Jacksonville MS synagogue. The link card image for most stories I've seen shows a severely fire-damaged library. No one was hurt and they've arrested a suspect.

Bob Weir loved music and gave his entire life to it. 78's a good age, though from where I'm at now it doesn't sound like enough. But he left something behind that will never stop giving people pleasure and comfort. That's a legacy to cherish. You stayed 61 years on the road, Bob Weir. Rest now. 4/4

In all seriousness, when Daniel Perry shot and killed Garret Foster in Austin in 2020, we figured out who Perry was and we were watching his social media posts get deleted in real time WHILE he was allegedly in APD's custody. Fortunately we archived them in the Wayback Machine before he did it.

You cannot tell voters that this regime is an existential threat one day and aid and abet it every other day. Either you're lying or you are complicit, neither of which makes you fit for office.

Last night, 64-year-old Denise Lamont attended the first protest of her life. She said watching the video of Good’s death in Minneapolis “changed her” and the quick federal defense of the ICE agent angered her. She marched in Louisville, KY with a piece of cardboard taped to a soup spoon.

A lot of replies here (obviously from people not already aware of The Discourse on this point) were genuinely confused variants on "But why, they're right, that's a valid concern." Let me leave a short thread for future readers explaining why that stuff is always unwelcome on here. (1/n)

Kentucky GOP Rep. Shane Baker on his bill to ban immigrant citizens from holding any elected office: “You can see the direction they're trying to take New York… we don't want to face those things in Kentucky. We want to make sure to head things off before they get here.” #kyga26
Latest from me: A GOP Rep has filed a duo of bills aimed at blocked naturalized and dual citizens from running for state or local office (the former requires a constitutional amendment) #KYGA26
