Older but wiser. Sometimes the line down the middle is fuzzy. Dog-rescue, foodie, Good Omens lover, gardener, black swallowtail butterflies, always a rebel against tyranny. No DMs please. If you have zero posts/no profile, I will NOT follow you.

Both the U.S. marshal and the immigrant were shot by federal officers. You’d never know that from this headline.

I would have liked to have seen the soles before making a choice! Like an old Italian shoemaker once to me when I brought some beautiful leather spectators by Bruno Magli: you taka care of the top, I taka care of the bottom.

The White White East Wing has a big gaping hole.

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

It seems like just yesterday - and also several decades ago - that Jeffrey Goldberg was added to the Houthi Small Group Signal chat and @annabower.bsky.social, half-joking/half-hopeful offered up her signal info to anyone in the administration who wanted to add her to a chat, and now here we are.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

Thou shalt not support a man who bulldozes the White House to build himself a golden ballroom whilst the government is shut down because he doesn’t want the financial records tying him to Jeffrey Epstein to come out.

Mike Johnson: "We're fighting for healthcare as well. Not just in word but in deed. We put in the one big beautiful bill, real reforms to Medicaid to make it work better."

(The bill in fact cuts nearly $1 trillion from Medicaid.)

The president of the United States posted a video of him defecating on the American people. Many in my profession normalized it. This is a big reason why we are where we are.

AWS services and outage: "These issues can happen when systems become overloaded or a key part of the network goes down, and because so many websites and apps rely on AWS, the impact spreads quickly.”

Maybe rethink that "reliance", matey.

Great column by Philly's own @willbunch.bsky.social

Will Bunch @willbunch.bsky.social · 3d

The 7 million Americans who took the streets for 'No Kings' made history, and they did something even more important

They got under the skin of Donald Trump and his dictatorial regime, on a day that showed that most Americans love democracy instead

My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/no-k...

Then they fight you: How the No Kings protests are winning America | Will Bunch

A massive turnout of 7 million and a panicked White House showed Saturday why the No Kings protests matter, a lot.

It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than to find a story about No Kings on the NYT homepage

(Only a photo essay in “Most Shared,” since people really want to know about it despite what the editors think)

Yes. The 70somethings I know are super mad. If you’re a boomer whose parents fought in WWII, you fought in and/or protested war in 1960s-70s but either way repped the US, then did okay in American Dream (could afford college & house) a lot of this is a betrayal of what you thought America was about

many conversations I have had with complete normie libs, the kind who have a tote bag from donating to NPR and shop at Whole Foods, involve the kind of rhetoric that under no circumstances should be put on the internet

people are very mad
