Living in the upside down. A person who tried to overthrow the government is getting a settlement. The Trump administration has agreed to pay $4.9 million to settle a wrongful death lawsuit brought by the family of Ashli Babbitt, the woman shot while trying to breach the Speaker’s Lobby

A cast bronze memorial to the police officers who defended the Capitol on Jan. 6 declares that "their heroism will never be forgotten." But the memorial itself has been forgotten, left in storage because Johnson's office has not had it hung @joeheim.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...
GOP won’t install Jan. 6 plaque honoring law enforcement, Democrats say
More than three years after it was approved by Congress, a plaque honoring members of law enforcement for defending the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, is instead sitting in a Capitol basement utility room.

Extremely smart of Netflix. Whatever Sesame Street costs, it's almost certainly a fraction of their usual production costs for series, there's probably some sort of tax break in there, and the goodwill Netflix just earned is a publicity multiplier.

If you are curious about what's happening at my work...
Urgent: We've learned that USDA funding cuts will prevent 630,000 lbs of food from reaching Second Harvest of Silicon Valley.

This would've been distributed to our most vulnerable neighbors–– and was to be sourced from US farmers, who are now losing out on crucial revenue.

I tried to draw Lucy Van Oelt at Sketch School in #peanutscelebration at @knottsberryfarm.bsky.social. She was definitely unimpressed. I retyped her response to my drawing.

Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on “DEI” with zero evidence.

He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials.

It’s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.

Never be part of the silent ones who let the hatred of the few drown out their voice. Humanity can only endure if we can accept all the many colors of its rainbow. Fight against those who want to make the box smaller to only include their echo chamber.

The first books the Nazis burned weren't the Torah.

They were German medical and scientific studies detailing the reality of the existence of transgender people.

Ninety years ago, fascists used the irrational fear of trans people as their keyhole into power.

And here we are...
