Trump has now conducted 28 boat strikes, killing over 100 people.
Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.
He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.
This is a danger to us all.

Same with movie studios 🥲
The year is 2035. There are three game studios left. Each one produces a game every 10 years, killing 250+ developers in the process. They all accidentally make the same game because they used genAI in preproduction. They sell 500 million units each, missing quarterly targets. Everyone is laid off.

In addition to all the amazing work he did for Disney, Eddie Sotto designed the beloved Soap Box Racers at Knott’s. While looking for a photo of him, I stumbled upon his take on perfectionism, and it moved me to see how much he cared about the Guest experience. RIP Mr. Sotto, gone far too soon 💔

My theory that as members of congress are increasingly batshit it will increasingly select for even more batshit people who can tolerate the job is doing pretty well
Congressional retirements at a historic pace in both chambers. Per @ballotpedia.org , 50 Members have now announced. ballotpedia.org/List_of_U.S.... I gather it’s a miserable era to be in Congress for many incumbents.

Muting a Black woman to claim the vote was unanimous is so incredibly on the nose
The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

What I don't understand about this fixation some Dems have is that I thought the platform was Rights for All. Medicare for All. Justice for All. The idea that "All" should mean "All except for the ones that are problematic because it will offend some bigot and cost us a vote" is a very GOP position.
