Okay I gotta know what exactly that thing is. We have a fat trending kitty too, but his sisters aren’t.
Bullshit.

It’s also looks like he “fixed it” - by this afternoon it was happily chirping about how the white genocide bullshit whining was based on real things, all along.

I sure wish there had been any kind of interest in this sort of “patenting” in the 90s, in the US, but then again, where they’d have tossed me afterward wouldn’t have been better. She even laughed and bragged about it, in public. All I ever knew was that other adults would just giggle along.

I have heard some pretty disgusting things in my life when it comes to exploitation and cruelty, but what Jimmy Gomez (D-CA) lays out here is nothing short an act of fiscal genocide. It appears to be ...
This is absolutely incredible -- Kristi Noem repeatedly refuses to acknowledge that Trump brandished an doctored image of Abrego Garcia's tattoos, prompting Eric Swalwell to have a staffer of his brandish an image of them right in her face.
Totally dystopian.

They can then generate fat profit for prisons, once homelessness is fully criminalized and rapidly punishable.

I would like a word with my fellow wypipo who CONTINUE on about what this place ISN’T, just bc it’s never been that for THEM. About how “we” can’t let this HAPPEN, like it’s New, just bc that’s over now. It does explain why we can’t DO shit, we’re busy displaying how we’re shocked & confused, still.
JUST IN: Judge Xinis says the DOJ has failed to file a privilege log regarding invocation of the state secrets privilege in Kilmar Abrego Garcia's case.
She's giving them until 3pm or will construe it as "intentional refusal" to comply.

Bondi is the tiny king’s personal lawyer.
Cool. When is the NEXT “real deadline,” since they just get to ignore them all?
I guess it doesn’t matter.
Zero people have any idea what to do BC the kings’ branded ponies WILL NOT be made to comply with the law, so they don’t have to.
Nanner, I guess, since us plebs have ALSO forgotten, now.
NEW: Judge Xinis scolds the govt for missing yesterday's deadline to produce its privilege log in the Abrego Garcia case and orders it to comply by 3 p.m. ET. Otherwise she'll construe silence as "intentional refusal to comply with this Court's orders."

If you’re doing Journalism, that is.
Here's your lead: "Trump has essentially halted refugee admissions for people of color, but dozens of white South Africans, upset that they are no longer the ruling minority, were welcomed with open arms on Monday."
Democrats need to make it clear *right now* that any countries caught bribing Trump will have no business with (and are subject to sanctions by) the next administration

GOOD NEWS! Moderna’s combination COVID/influenza vaccine candidate mRNA-1083 has OUTPERFORMED the current standalone vaccines for BOTH viruses in a large (8000+) Phase III trial.

“Now you wouldn’t want to JUDGE, now WOULD YOU, Mama??!”
A people that can no longer distinguish between truth and lies cannot distinguish between right and wrong. And such a people, deprived of the power to think and judge, is, without knowing and willing it, completely subjected to the rule of lies. With such a people, you can do whatever you want.

Trump says he wants to fight antisemitism—then nominates Ed Martin, a Nazi sympathizer’s fanboy who lied about it, to be U.S. Attorney for D.C.
Call your Senators and tell them: Enough lip service. If they really want to fight antisemitism, they need to reject Ed Martin.
@dougjones.bsky.socialMy senators are Nazi sympathizers.
Counter-point, the UK is too small and weak to endanger the global trade system either
My take on today’s UK-US trade deal. The UK is a small weak country. It does what small weak countries do, which is to escape the bully, to pay the Dane-geld.
Standing up for the multilateral rules-based trading system will have to be left for others.
Britain’s trade deal with Trump may not be good news for the world

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”
It costs a lot less to house people.
Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me
In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

Can Trump Handle the India-Pakistan Crisis?
The two countries barely avoided war under the last administration. This time is worse.
No.
The US Postal Service works under what is called a “universal service obligation” to provide postal service to all Americans, regardless of location, at affordable prices. It is the only carrier that works under this obligation, and privatization would end that.
As Trump Pushes Privatization of USPS, Amazon May Be Preparing to Take Over
A new CEO statement from Amazon suggests it could be angling to take over the US Postal Service.
For once i agree with the dictator. No one needs 7 day delivery. How about twice/week and save money.
My local USPS location offers me 0 days of delivery per week.
Currently.
Don’t care anymore - let em rot woth their votes
And the REST of us, here?
And our kids?
We are 1/2 a mile away from a state highway, in AR.
Our assigned hub exists only so the local golf club can be incorporated, & refuses to deliver to us, cannot operate their location competently, so a PO Box isn’t better. Rampant theft, carefree postmaster. PMB is our ONLY way to receive mail, now.
In case anyone can’t tell, this is NOT endorsement of this inane crap about privatization of the USPS as a whole. This issue we have is because the push toward privatization has clearly been underway as an actively pursued goal by the GOP assholes who run this place into the ground, for years now.

So many (apparently) new followers or non-followers responding w/ a version of "they won't comply."
I have a strong position on this: This is dangerous & undermines the rule of law. The *expectation* is that they will follow the ruling. Make them justify each and any failure or refusal to do so.
So WHEN they CONTINUE to not comply with courts, courts have no real enforcement mechanism in that situation, and the DOJ et al behaves openly as the pres’s personal lawyer, who can do what, to cause the blatant illegality to be accounted for, exactly?
Pattern recognition seems useful here.
Looks like these fools have already removed all the Scary Violent Criminals, already, and are now targeting line cooks and dishwashers.
