I didn't know about that symbol; how many Americans do? When I see a skull & crossbones I think of pirates and poison.
FYI:
If you need a whistle, please drop by our office (7016 N Clark Street) to pick up one for free.

If you see ICE, blow three short bursts.

If they are detaining someone, blow three long bursts.
If you are on ICE watch in the Rogers Park vicinity please have a buddy and exercise extreme caution. ICE has assaulted verifiers today and arrested at least one of our people. If you are vulnerable to ICE in this area, I recommend staying inside if possible.

The so-called #FixOurForestsAct would lead to more calamitous clearcuts, more habitat-fragmenting roads, and worse water quality.

The bill has already passed in the House and has just received a Senate committee vote.

There has been one under the East Wing since WWII. I suspect he's making it much bigger.
Remind me, how much are we sending to Argentina?

Trump: "They're gonna lose Medicaid, they're gonna lose Social Security, they're gonna lose Medicare -- all of those things are gonna be gone because the whole country would be bankrupt and you're not gonna have any kind of medical insurance. With us it's the opposite."
I once had a dentist ask me if I was from California. She then said I had good teeth. I grew up in California, drinking fluoridated water.
All across the West, lawmakers are skipping over the will of voters and yanking fluoride from municipal water systems. My latest story for @highcountrynews.org takes a deep dive into the fight over fluoride in the age of MAHA.

That's a good "do not subscribe, join, read, watch or participate in" list.
This headline by the "editorial board" tells you all you need to know about the @nytimes.com. 😡
Editorials like this are dumb because "center" has no common definition. Manhattan editorialists define "center" differently than most others. This NYT editorial cites both populists & corporatists as "the center." It's incoherent, unless you read it as NYT trying to be America's tone policeman.
Tear down the f'ing "ballroom" and re-build FDR's wing. Re-create Jackie's garden.
Incoherent rage is what I just felt when I saw the photo of the White House being demolished. Un-efing-believable.
This makes me sick. And fuels my hatred.
JUST IN: The White House has begun DEMOLISHING portions of the East Wing of the White House to build Trump’s $250 million ballroom — despite earlier claiming it wouldn’t “interfere” with the existing White House structure. (Washington Post)
"I have to watch the dog because my husband will be in class." "I have errands to do."

I heard both of those excuses.
Ha. You think I haven't been to their website? Many commenters are asking for the data; it hasn't been provided.
