Some ppl have the worst gym etiquette. I just about jumped out of my skin at the gym the other day when someone just dropped a HUGE rack of weights. Made the loudest racket. That and the grunting. 🙄

Someone in my neighborhood got FED. UP.

A stop sign. Under the stop sign, another, red rectangular, sign is affixed. It says "Actually stop. Like, for real."

posting with obvious pride about remodeling the lincoln bathroom in (very ugly) marble the day before SNAP dries up is a level of out-of-touch that i don't think any president has ever matched, even if it doesn't break through the news.

sure, you might not be able to eat or go to the doctor, but check out how nice Trump's new marble shitter is

I renovated the Lincoln Bathroom in the White House. It was renovated in the 1940s in an art deco green tile style, which was totally inappropriate for the Lincoln Era. I did it in black and white polished Statuary marble. This was very appropriate for the time of Abraham Lincoln and, in fact, could be the marble that was originally there!

The Trump administration is not just refusing to fund SNAP

The DOJ went into court and argued AGAINST financing the program-claiming that feeding 42 million Americans would be “disastrous”

But we all get that renovating the Lincoln bathroom takes precedence over feeding starving kids, amirite

Can't overstate how fucked up it is that unraveling what is arguably the greatest achievement in the history of humanity is now a motivating issue of one of the two dominant parties in the U.S.

FL is moving forward w/ plan to end all childhood vaccine mandates. Starting with hepatitis B, chickenpox, and the bacteria causing meningitis and pneumonia. Then next year GOP FL legislature is expected to revisit 1977 law re: whooping cough, measles, polio, rubella, mumps, diphtheria, and tetanus.

"Stephen Miller soon joined a growing list of senior Trump-administration political appointees—at least six by our count—living in Washington-area military housing, where they are shielded not just from potential violence but also from protest." Others include Marco Rubio, Kristi Noem, Pete Hegseth.

Stephen Miller, Marco Rubio, Kristi Noem, and others have taken over homes that until recently housed senior officers.

20 minutes of non-stop pelican feeding action after sunset. Not another photography in sight in a county of nearly 10 million people.

Take a couple seconds to chill and clear your mind. I certainly did ❤️ 🪶

Screenshot of ProPublica story that reads “Newby declined multiple interview requests from ProPublica and even had a reporter escorted out of a judicial conference to avoid questions. He also did not answer detailed written questions. The court system’s communications director and media team did not respond to multiple requests for comment or detailed written questions.
When ProPublica emailed questions to Newby’s daughter, the North Carolina Republican Party’s communications director, Matt Mercer, responded, writing that ProPublica was waging a “jihad” against “NC Republicans,” which would “not be met with dignifying any comments whatsoever.”
“I’m sure you’re aware of our connections with the Trump Administration and I’m sure they would be interested in this matter,” Mercer said in his email. “I would strongly suggest dropping this story.” “

Qualified immunity concerns civil suits, as well. There are certain legal thresholds that have to be crossed before a civil suit can proceed. But a lot of such suits meet that threshold and this one will (if filed) as well. This was outrageous.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

People ask a lot about whether protests matter. While Trump’s approval rating is driven by many factors, events like the No Kings rallies likely play a role, too. Media coverage and people seeing their neighbors take a stand help convey that disapproval is not just acceptable but widespread.

Owen Winter @owenwntr.bsky.social · 3d

Donald Trump's approval rating in our tracker has fallen to -18, the lowest it has ever been (lower than any point in his first term) www.economist.com/interactive/...

Chart showing Trump's net approval compared with this point in previous presidencies. In 2009, Obama's approval at this point was approximately +7, in 2017 Trump's was -16 and in 2021 Biden's was -7

gotta say as a bowdoin grad it is a pretty conservative small New England liberal arts college. lots of hockey kids from boston. the times is positioning the “Africana studies major” thing pretty conspicuously here

Jeff McMahon @jeffmcmahon.bsky.social · 3d

I honestly don't think the NY Times has been this bad in my lifetime, it's deeply shameful.

What Zohran Mamdani Learned as an Africana Studies Major at Bowdoin
The Democratic candidate has said his education was formative. But critics say that his degree exemplifies how colleges steep students in leftist dogma.
