The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session.

Want to know why?

Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out.

Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

I vividly remember night-beforing a paper on image systems in "Maus." Sweat-soaked panic.

The teacher took time out the next week to talk about how one of our papers in particular was a stunning example of a great essay and then **started reading my paper in front of the class.** I wanted to die.

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.
You people couldn't hang with real slackers.

Bad Bunny - from Puerto Rico (you know, part of the United States) is officially the #1 Latin act of the 21st century, topping Billboard’s 25-year recap. Since debuting in 2016, he’s racked up 16 #1 Latin songs, nine #1 albums, and a record 89 top 10s — más que nadie.

It's difficult at times to hold both "this admin is doing lasting and serious damage to our institutions and the globe" and "this admin is full of the most bafflingly incompetent idiots you've ever seen who fall over themselves like a Vaudeville act constantly."

The duality of man is incredible.

"On Wednesday, Mr. Mamdani, the Democratic nominee, rode the full route of the M57, a crosstown bus that traverses Midtown Manhattan and is one of the city’s slowest, to remind New Yorkers that he wanted to speed up their commutes."

Too tired to list em, but it’s a city in a bowl, a major international port in the middle of the continent, and the only way lace I’ve seen cops show up because someone has a goat tethered in their front yard

Every additional injera you order at the Ethiopian spot is an admission of weakness. If you ask for a fork you may as well drop out of society.

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

Most of Dem Senators did not attack Bondi yesterday as they should have. Among other things they should have said, "You're lying again, Ms. Bondi" and "That's a bald-faced lie, Ms. Bondi."

The rapid rise of authoritarianism is no place for etiquette.
