RAJU: You swore in 2 GOP members during pro forma session. Why not swear in Grijalva? Does it have to do w/her signature on Epstein petition?

JOHNSON: It has nothing to do with that. We'll swear her in when everybody is back

R: Why not now?

J: Uh - we'll schedule it, I guess, as soon as she wants

We can remember Goodall’s accomplishments and legacy while recognizing that National Geographic created a narrative that erased the local people who contributed to her research. Her African colleagues deserve to be credited, not erased (10/10).

Is there a reason for this POV?!?
How about the idiots (that would be the Republicans) who hold the majority in the house and Senate can’t get their shit together?

My historical inquiry class with @kzubovich.bsky.social is the only thing keeping me alive. They are marvelous!

I can’t believe this idiot with an elementary school education wants us to think that “many people” spoke to him about Amelia Earhart. And that he knew anything:”she suddenly, and without notice, vanished, never to be seen again.” FOH!

I used to live a block or so from here. Walked home at night after grabbing a drink and a burger. This is obscene.

ICE boats trawling the Chicago River. This is the DUMBEST thing I've seen in my entire life. No exaggeration. What's next? Humvees loaded with armed, masked agents patrolling Disney's Main Street U.S.A.?
