It's been a weird day. I babysat those who came to No Kings meaning to harm peaceful protesters. Later found out my mom and my siblings are mourning the death of a man who wanted my kids stoned to death. Saw a video of a president who fired 200k vets dropping AI poop on us.

See you at the next one.

what do you mean you hate black licorice? do you also hate picking at that itchy little bit of skin around your fingernail? do you also hate walking in the rain when a cold breeze cuts through you? do you also hate the feeling of knowing you've let down a loved one?

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

To complete a perfect circle of hypcrisy, today would be an excellent day for other U.S. warships to fire a salvo of missiles into Yemen to punish the Houthis for targeting ships in international waters. American exceptionalism demands it, in fact.

If you are an elected Republican in Texas, you're shitting bricks after the Miami flip last night. Things are going to go badly next year for entirely self-inflicted reasons.

ICE detain U.S. citizen for looking Somali—use illegal chokehold to tackle him to ground.

Man repeatedly begs agents to look at his digital passport ID—they refuse.

Drove him 7 miles away before releasing him alone into Minnesota snow storm—told him to "walk home" in freezing weather advisory.

Love it when dorks even more on the spectrum show up in the replies to completely miss a point just to try to outsmart a dumbass like me. You got me, congrats.

James clearly gets Supergirl. Supergirl is one of the most tragic figures in comics. Clark only remembers Earth. Kara watched everyone she loved die, but was spared so she could raise baby Clark. But time dilation meant he was an adult by the time she arrived. She has pain without purpose.

Motherfucker sent a post-breakup "I want the final word" text to the country, lol
Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

The Trump admin gave states an ultimatum: Cooperate with the immigration crackdown, or lose your federal funding.

Oregon and 19 other states fought back — and won.

Then officials logged in to the grant website to accept the money, only to find the button to do so was disabled: propub.li/4a4Bsk5

That is patently false: not only do immigrants score better than native-born Americans in tests, the mere presence of immigrants improve test scores for all students, when factoring in white flight

My kid is drawing my puck gnome archivist artificer from our Friday night #DND game. My kid's character is a cleric of Sune, the goddess of beauty, and so my gnome has learned to animate his puck helmet by applying makeup and flowers to it.

1. All babies need safe, secure nutrition.
2. It's up to governments (not individual women) to invest in policies that make it possible for people to meet their breastfeeding goals.
3. All families deserve transparent, evidence-based information about nutrition -- instead of stigmatizing rhetoric.
RFK Jr: "All of the ingenuity of corporate America has not produced an infant formula that is superior in nutrition and all the qualities that we want to the infant formula that God made, which is the infant formula in a mother's breast."
